My latest Conquest

Post by Monroe »

Started the B5 series. Going to take me more time than the new Dr. Who series did. Used to be a big fan back in middleschool but its been so long since i've seen anything and missed the fist two seasons its a lot of fun. One thing that kind of annoys me though is their use of computer graphics. I guess at the time it was cutting edge but now its just cheesy. Computers from 94 werent' as good as models yet. But I suspect they'll get better by the next season.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Admittedly, the graphics on the first 2 seasons are not fantastic, but in the 'shadow dancing' battle, the graphics were pretty damn good.

The graphics aren't great, but it never really bothered me much.

I feel for B5 because of the story lines. Hard to beat since they have some of the best SciFi characters ever made.

Still think Sinclair was better than sheridan.

I just started watching through these again. I never really liked the CGI, but it has a good story arc, and the characters are brilliantly well developed.

I'm a good portion through Season 2 and I gotta say it rocks :D Love the characters and story development. I honestly can't think of one character I dislike.
