Babylon 5 Retrospective Supercut: In the late 1980s, the pop culture sensation Star Trek dominated science fiction on the small screen. That is until writer/producer J. Michael Straczynski and producers John Copeland and Douglass Netter created Babylon 5. The epic space opera was one of the first real attempts at creating a television novel with serialised long-form storytelling. While it never reached the heights of popularity as Star Trek, its impact on the genre and the TV landscape generally cannot be understated.
