There has never been a series like Babylon 5 - and probably there will never be another, as long as I live. I was deeply affected by the story and the characters. A story of light and dark, joy and pain, love and hate - all in a scifi series. Not a small wonder, rather a great one, I think. Four seasons of B 5 were great. The fifth was a mess, with some exceptions. Perhaps it is of symbolic value that the last episode was produced at the end of season 4 but broadcast at the end of season 5. One thinks of a time long lost and forgotten, of dreams long gone watching Sleeping in Light. It's wonderful, and it hurts. I did not cry when I watched Titanic. I did not cry watching E.T. But I cried at the parting of Sheridan and the fiery demise of the space station. It was sad, but in a strangely positive way I cannot describe. It was a feeling that I was on my own now but that I grew stronger out of it. In fact, Sleeping in Light has't got a proper story. But it works. It changed me deeply.

This tape contains the last two episodes ever of Babylon 5. In "Objects at Rest," change is coming to the station. Franklin is leaving for Earth and his new job, Garibaldi is leaving for Mars, and Sheridan and Delenn leave for the new Alliance headquarters on Minbar. But all does not go smoothly as Lennier makes a huge mistake and Londo arrives with a suspicious gift for Delenn's baby.
"Sleeping in the Light" tells the story of Sheridan's last few days. Realizing that his time is up, he sends for his dear friends and reminisces before heading into space for one last flight.
While these two episodes don't tie up all the loose ends (In fact, they raise some questions.), they are a powerful conclusion to this series. I've watched them several times, and I've been moved by the emotions so excellently captured by everyone involved. JMS's scripts are some of his best, and the acting is flawless.
Over the run of the series, I had come to care for these characters as friends. It was sad to see their story end. And while it may not have had the closure I normally like, there is enough closure for a feeling of completion. These two top-notch hours of television will move any fan of the series.

As The title states, sleeping in light is a great lament to one of science fiction's greatest expeditions. Babylon five has been and still is one of the most entertaining shows ever aired. As for the episodes here. The story of Babylon five has reached its conclusion and all one can say is.... Make sure you've got a box of tissues. This one's a tear jerker.
This was a great end for the series for anyone that has whatched the show from the beginning it include all of the main charater from the show and shows how they have changed since they all left the show.
This was one of the best Sci-fi shows ever and a fantastic end. Especaliy the emotion.

A lousy ending to a lousy series of what should have been the best sci=fi series ever. All loose ends were made even looser. Objects at rest makes some effort but it's hardly a surprise, and sleeping in the light just compounds everything. JMS just ducked the whole issue. Forget about this series on video. Stop your collection at the end of the vastly superior fourth series, and the intriguing 'Deconstruction of Falling stars'
