I guess part of what put me off was them telling me I had to watch all the previous episodes to figure out what was going on in the middle of the series run.
Well, it does help, but I picked it up originally during season 4, and there were only 5 total. What really helped me was a site called:
The Lurker's Guide
The site is a very complete reference about the show, characters, races, etc;
The show is most definitely worth getting into, as it's basically a 5 year story from beginning to end, with events in one episode paying off years down the road, which is one thing (of many) that it has on the many Trek spinoffs. It proved so popular that TNT ordered a spin-off series called Crusade that, sadly was cancelled prior to airing because TNT allegedly told the creator, Joe Straczynski to put more T&A into it, and JMS does not like to give up creative control over his stuff.
