B5 Season 1 disc one...

[countzero]

I am just through the first season. Feels a lot like DS9. Sloppy acting here and there like DS9 as well

Some of the episodes are quite hard to endure though. I found myself doing something else and 'listening' to the episode most of the time (watch only important parts).

season ending is cool. season 2 starts cool too. let's hope it goes like this

also, is there a written rule somewhere that says every science fiction show has to have a 'japanese inspired alien race' ? (minbari for B5, vulcan for ST)

it's not just the slanted eye vs pointed ear. the martial arts thing, suppression of emotions, writing system with three alphabets etc ...

as for the minbari, martial arts thing again, the code of honor thing (munbari acts of harakiri) and some other stuff that I can't recall now ...

maybe it's just I've spent too much time in japan, lol

well, I'm about halfway through season 5 now ... talk about this stuff growing on you lol :lol:

I came back here to eat my words about the acting. especially the narn guy is awesome. sometimes overdone though. some dialogues are really fantastic. especially delenn's sidekick's.

I'm also little bit disappointed about some scenario twists. especially the 'end' to shadow wars was like WTF ?

pity this show had to end like this, I've also seen the last movie, legend of the rangers or something like that, which was awful really. they should've found some fresh ideas, this 'ancient evil' theme done 3 times is just too much ...
