Yay! Another B5 fan! Woot. I agree completely about the reality of the characters. While I didn't always agree with where JMS had the characters going (I wasn't terribly fond of some of Garibaldi's story arc, for example), I could still believe it, and it made sense.
I still think B5 stands up well to most if not all other science fiction, at least as far as plotting and characters go. Unfortunately, while the special effects were awesome for the time, they're merely OK (some would say awful, but I wouldn't) by today's standards. But it's not the SFX that matters to me, for the post part, although I do love good SFX. It's the characters, and the plot.
