I don't know, Colm Meany looks like he has a puffy pubic mound. The kind of mound you could give a sermon off of. I don't think buckets of oral on that would keep bringing Julian back for more.

I ended up watching Caretaker a bit for the first time in nearly 20 years.

"You want water?! We'll give you water! We bath in this! In fact, some of us bath in actual mud, which is dirt with water in it, and then we bath again with water. We literally defecate in this stuff and flush it down a tube."
(Maybe we shouldn't be so casual about letting everyone know we can replicate matter on the fly after learning how rare water is everywhere in this region of space.)

The biggest shame of Voyager: The betazoid pilot dying in Caretaker. 90 seconds of screentime and more interesting and likeable than anyone but the Doctor.

According to Alpha Memory, she's dead in the pilot, but a game revealed her to be just severely injured. Not even death is an escape from Voyager.

Babylon 5 is still good. Honestly, the grafix aren't that bad. What really detracts from the space fight scenes is that they're all in SD when the rest of the show is widescreen. It's not noticeably worse than a Star Trek of comparable era and configuration.

Something from late season 2 is passable I guess. I tried to rewatch B5 a couple years ago and those effects from the first few episodes... :barf: Looks like a cutscene from a '93 video game: not good.

It can be a barrier, yes. It's a big reason why lots of NuWho fans wont touch anything from the original run.

On the other hand, the CGI enables them to have scenes that are more than "Two vessels meet head on" or "ship cruses along an empty void" so...

It was never the effects the made b5 hard for me to get into, it was just really lovely dialog and acting and a general cheap fan-film sort of feel to everything. I hear the overall season to season plot is interesting, but the episode to episode plots are pretty ho-hum so the reward is only in the long haul.

B5 was ponderously loving slow, wasting a bunch of time to exposit or outright demonstrate garbage setting minutiae.

SPACE CAPTAIN TRON: "Does anyone know what happens when you open a space warp zone inside a space warp zone?"

CORNFIELD THE BONE ELF: *gropes crystals, appears peevish* "According to my instruments, sir, literally no one in the audience cares."

TRON: "Let's do it!!! In a like five minute long scene!!!!!"

* smash cut to Tron's elfwife, emoting Croatianly *

Sierra was apparently very close to finishing a B5 space combat sim in the 90s when, for some reason, the project was cancelled. I guess you'd be flying Starfuries and even White Stars.

It had sort of a pre-Matrix games thing going on where they were going to weave in the game's story into the continuity of the series and the actors from the show were doing FMV cutscene stuff, making sort of an episode of the show or something.

A guy I knew was talking about even after several years, none of the footage or stories had been released.

If B5 didn't have Londo and G'Kar hamming it up, the series would have little to no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Now you can probably find a list of episodes focusing on the interaction between those two and skip the rest of the horrible slog.
