Should I watch Babylon 5?
« on: May 09, 2010, 10:52:10 PM »
I have been going seriously into the depths of Netflix. Watched all of Battle Star Galactica and recently caught up with Lost. Then I saw the B5 stuff. 5 seasons of this stuff and some Hugo awards, and oh ah, the Amiga connection.

At the time I just thought "oh, ghetto star trek series, click." I love TV series this way, I'm 5-10 years behind but no commercials; which is why I can't watch television - can't take it.

Interestingly, they knew about the specs for HD and 16:9, and so the the whole thing was shot for 16:9, before it ever exsisted.? Kinda ironic a TV show could see the future but a computer company could not...

Ok, it's in the instant que. I pay for this stuff every month, I gotta use it on something.

Oh, and life is full of crap anyways - I'm trying to escape it...
I graduated an English major. I read and read and wrote papers and came to this conclusion.

Well I give this shit a try. Not on instant play though, crap. DVD will be better. SiFi is such a hard genre of fiction. And there is more bad of it than good. I kinda know how to manage my expectations.

And I like Tension...

Effects are great but, bad ones can be forgiven if there's good story telling, right? I like old 70s SiFi like:

Colossus: The Forbin Project
Andromeda Strain
Logan's Run
West World ,

Terrible with effects - still, those were just oddly cool movies...
