Babylon 5 cemented my tendency to search for online spoilers. I loved it, but there were times when I couldn't face episodes if I didn't already have a sense of the general shape of the story. There was a very active discussion online that included massive commentary from JMS. I can't remember the website name off the top of my head, but it might still be around in some form and be worth looking at after you've watched the series. (I'd expect spoilers for future episodes in the discussions at this point.)
I found season 1 more watchable after seeing season 2. We came to the series late, while season 2 was airing, and had to scramble a bit to catch the season 1 episodes. There're a lot of things in season 1 that set up much bigger events later or otherwise change when viewed with more information.
My husband has been buying the script books which are (or were) about $40 each.
