Battlestar Galactica and others
Mark7:
Responses from the media have been pretty positive so far.
Here's what SFX had to say.
--- Quote ---“Absolutely bloody loved it. New Who has made sci-fi socially acceptable but I can see this making it positively hip - I’m certain it’s gonna be a hit and I think BBC One will be fighting tooth and claw to get this show off BBC Three.

Well I just saw BSG 3x04 and its absolutely freakin awesome! Who knew you could FTL jump inside atmospheres...
Ozymandias:
--- Quote from: Fiddler on 17 Oct 2006, 08:10 ---True story, G'Kar kicked so much ass but it was downright painful to watch some of the other characters speak.

Sinclair comes to mind something fierce. Especially when he'd try to be funny and there would always be this awkward, uncomfortable silence afterwards, like just by speaking he sucked the soul out of the room.
Inlander:
I've gotta admit, I never watched enough Babylon 5 to get the impression of the over-arching, five-season long storyline. Mainly because every time I watched it, everything about it from the cringingly awful acting to the cliche-ravaged dialogue to the way below-par C.G.I. made it absolutely excruciating for me to watch. I mean I applaud whatsisname's effort in pumping the thing out and sticking to his guns and seeing the whole thing through and all - but for all his effort, the end product was just excrement. I mean, really.
Battlestar Galactica, though, is hot stuff. We're only mid-way through season 2 here in Australia and it's getting better and better. Case in point:
MINOR SPOILER ALERT
At the end of the last episode to screen here, Adama and the President (know the actor's name, forget the character's) kissed after she made him admiral. You could tell it was going to happen, the scene was building that way, and I was really dreading it because I was fully expecting some overblown, Star Trek-style sweeping string on the soundtrack, swooning makeout session - but, to the writer's and director's eternal credit, we didn't get any of that. We got the tenderest little peck on the lips, like two old friends (which the two are by now) who are realising that there might be a little bit more in it than that - and then a smile. No emoting, no cheap passion-in-a-can, just two characters behaving like real human beings. It was beautiful.
END SPOILER ALERT.

You do realise B5 was pretty much THE first show on TV to use CGI to such a large extent, right? And 90s CGI at that!
Mid 90s computers and rendering engines weren't as hot as they are now. Not even the pro ones.
