This is easily the darkest and most foreboding of all the Babylon 5 seasons JMS manages to build tension by the simple device of not telling us too much. While everything is eventually played out in the later seasons it never quite managed the same sense of dread -sort of like Star Trek and the Borg a little hint of "the Shadows" went a long way.

Season 2 of Babylon 5 starts to get much more into teh action, quicker and longer and it amps it up really quickly. It just quite doesnt reach the excellent levels of season 3 but season 3 would be nothing without all of the plot line setups and character development that takes place in this season
