In the 1990s, serial storytelling in science fiction was rare, but 'Babylon 5' broke new ground through its closely intertwined narrative, largely thanks to creator J. Michael Straczynski.

The series has kept each installment self-contained, but what occurs in one episode does have ramifications for the characters in subsequent episodes.

It's sort of like how in movies about poker players, a 'good poker player' is someone who always seems to draw the best cards.
