(...) It's never too late to get started. The entire series is out on DVD, along with the two more pivotal MfTV movies. All you'd really need to do is buy or rent the first three seasons, or even just the third season (since that's where this whole (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Three factors have always prevented me from enjoying the series. First, I can't stand most of the cast (Flounder and Tron and the woman from (URL) The Hidden,> et all). Second, I really really really don't like the CGI graphics, which to me (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) How much of it did you watch? I'll admit that Bruce Boxleitner's portrayal of Sheriden was pretty cheesy coming out of the gate, but one of JMS's commentary tracks reveals that he specifically requested it be that way for the first few eps of (...)

(...) I suggest "1". (...) While I enjoyed TNG and I loved DS9, B5 just seemed less foofy from the start. Instead of shields they have a "defense grid". It consists of BFGs. One of them in particular looks like its barrel is at least large enough (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Admittedly, not much. I caught bits of episodes here and there (which, I grant, is not the best way to get one's teeth into a longterm space opera). I saw a good bit of the pilot, one episode with Checkov, and a chunk of the finale. (...) I (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)

One could as easily suggest that the terrorists, recognizing that a fanatical, crusading zealot is out of the driver's seat, might pause to see how a (...)

Even hard-core fans are amazed at the comparatively low technical quality and such of the premiere movie after having watched the full series, but to be fair, I believe it had an even lower budget than the individual episodes, and that (...)

(...) There's an argument to be made for both sides. Watching the space battle scenes in Ep 1.1, some scenes show shots being fired in silence, but in the space battle scenes of Ep 1.13, they seem to take a few liberties for cinematic effect. When (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
