This was immediately followed by a rare episode not written by J. Michael Straczynski. Much was expected of "Day of the Dead," penned by Neil Gaiman, the British creator of DC's landmark Sandman comic and graphic novel series. Yet despite a change of tone including a guest appearance by Penn & Teller as 23rd-century comedy favorites Rebo & Zooty, the story proved an incongruous side trip into an unexplained twilight zone of fantasy. As usual the season picked up toward the end, with a string of fine political episodes leading to "The Fall of Centauri Prime" and the haunting "Objects at Rest," in which Sheridan and Delenn leave Babylon 5 for new quarters on Minbar.
The final episode, "Sleeping in Light," was directed by J. Michael Straczynski and made an epilogue to the series. Set 20 years later, after all the sound and fury this quiet, elegiac tale is the apotheosis of the love story that proved the balance to the tragedy of the preceding darkness. A personal story resolved against a background of the epic, at once transcendent, deeply human, and profoundly optimistic, "Sleeping in Light" is as moving as any hour in the history of television drama and a thoroughly satisfying conclusion to one of the greatest series ever made. --Gary S. Dalkin

Customer Reviews of Babylon 5 - The Complete Fifth Season
A Dark Year and a Farewell Always intended as a five-year story arc, only a last minute save from TNT brought us this final chapter.
As 2262 begins, things are looking up for our characters. The Alliance has been formed and Sheridan is taking office as its first President. The station itself is getting a new captain as Elizabeth Lochley steps in for Ivanova who has left to captain a ship. But things soon take a dark turn. Sheridan agrees to let a colony of rogue telepaths live on the station. Their interactions with Lyta Alexander change her profoundly. Some mysterious force is attacking members of the Alliance. And Londo and G'Kar try to solve the mystery of the royal court back on Centauri Prime.
This season is not as strong as the seasons preceding it. Because this was a last minute save, all plot lines had been wrapped up in season 4, and it takes a few episodes to get the ball fully rolling forward again. Personally, I loved Ivanova, so I miss her absence in this season as well. While watching this set, I realized why else this season isn't a favorite. It's much darker. We see Londo's final fate, Garibaldi hits the bottle again, and Lennier makes some poor choices. My final complaint is the endings left open involving Lennier and Sheridan and Delenn's unborn son. While this season may be dark, it is still powerful and moving drama that pulls you in and doesn't let you get. Especially if you've spent the four previous years with the characters. Fans can't help but watch this to get the next chapter in these character's lives.
And this doesn't even touch the final episode. Filmed as part of season four, it's set 19 years in the future and does include Ivanova. If that episode doesn't move you, nothing will.
If you've bought the previous season sets, you know exactly what to expect here. The episodes are presented in widescreen with some grain and dust in the picture. The full surround audio makes an impressive display of the soundtrack. Extras include the intro to the season on disc one, three commentary tracks, documentaries on the digital effects and fans and other merchandise related to the show and personnel and data files and the season gag reel. This set features three scenes from "Sleeping in Light" that hit the cutting room floor, a first for any of the sets. And there is an Easter egg to look for as well.
It's unfortunate that this series couldn't go out with quite the bang fans had hoped for. Still, this is a good end to a great series that all fans will want to have on DVD.
Beautiful End to one of the greatest Shows of all time
Though Season 5 had some early rough patches. It starts rolling in my opinion after the issue between the Psy-Cor ends with Bryon and Lita.
"Sleeping In The Light" was filmed after Season 4 before they new they were picked up for a 5th season. So they held it off until the end of the 5th. BEAUTIFUL episode that had my strong will break down in a tear. Possibly one of the best final episodes ever in a series. Truly a masterpeice. Closing credits had me balling! Ivonava mentioned Marcus at the dinner table with Sheridan as a people to salute and remember just sunk my heart. Delenn, who probally one of the most beautiful characters ever in Sci-Fi her closing tribute to Sheridan again water filling my eyes.
Babylon 5 has been such a enjoy to explore and follow. So many great episodes that made you laugh, excite, and cry. Characters you love and characters you hate. This was a space station like no other.
Somewhat Anti-climatic
The fifth season of Babylon 5 was excellent, and wrapped up the series, concluding the longest mini-series in television history. Unfortunately, it ends up being rather anti-climactic. With the Shadow War and the Earth Civil War both concluded in the fourth season, it just has no place to go here. The character pieces with Londo trapped as the new Emperor of the Centauri Republic and Garibaldi falling back into alchoholism are powerful and interesting, but can't match the action of the Earth civil war. In the final analysis, a good series with good stories, but not up to the standards of previous seasons.
