Expertise
I have extensive knowledge in the area of the central five seasons, and I am also proficent in all other canon materials (save the 'Legend of the Rangers' pilot/made-for-tv-movie).
Experience
I have seen the 'Babylon 5 Experience' (the pilot, all 5 seasons, the made-for-tv-movies, Crusade, and The Lost Tales [discounting 'LotR', as above]) so many times I have lost count, though I may be in double digits. I have read all three book trilogies (Psi-Corps, Technomage, Centauri) multiple times, the novel "The Shadow Within" and the novel 'To Dream in the City of Sorrows' twice. I have read the first of the three comic-book storylines multiple times, as well as "In Valen's Name". When I was a kid I had The Lurker's Guide & Voltayre's Encyclopedia Xenobiologica websites printed out and put in large binders and I would read them every night.
