Milky Moor posted:reminder that b5 season budget was equal to one ST episode budget B5 had roughly half of DS9's budget. e: quote:Babylon 5 is filmed in widescreen (16:9) format, so that when HDTV arrives, the show can be remastered for full-screen video release. The extra picture space is just a bonus; directors compose scenes to fit entirely in the normal 4:3 aspect ratio of today's television, at the same time making sure that the edges of the picture can be included later on. They went to all that effort to film the show in widescreen, but they couldn't afford to do any scenes with SFX in widescreen so they had to be shot in 4:3. This is why when you watch B5 now it looks fantastic when people are standing around talking but as soon as someone fires their pulse pistol it switches to 4:3, then back to 16:9, then back to 4:3 again, then back to 16:9, and so on. It looks horrendous and is physically painful to watch. Typical Pubbie fucked around with this message at 08:42 on May 23, 2016 |

BattleMaster posted:My favourite part of DS9 is that they had to start writing Gul Dukat as an insane madman because Marc Alaimo is so charismatic that people actually believed Dukat's bullshit. lol is this really true? I figured it was just Ronald D. Moore being his usual lovely self ruining good characters with bullshit plots.

Section 31 knew of the existence of the wormhole prior to its official discovery. That's the only explanation for why the the Federation is willing to bend over backwards to defend a planet of religious fanatics who can build warp capable sail boats but can't feed and house their own people.

shadow puppet of a posted:Farscape is shitgarbagetrash. The whole thing sucks. It never gets better. The premise is dumber than voyager and everything is stained with its inescapable Australianism.  I want to love the show because they made a serious effort with the puppets and I like a lot of the actors, but the show has that irritating blend of corniness and melodrama unique to commonwealth sci-fi shows like Doctor Who and Torchwood.

It's Zima. That's what Zima was like.

Skip to Duet. The first season of DS9 is like someone found a crate full of rejected season 1 TNG scripts.

Aaronicon posted:Yeah I realised that I never watched much of early DS9 so I started the first episode last night myself. Only about halfway through because I rewatched that scene where Sisko meets with Picard and just wants to jump the table and murder him like a billion times. It's some good poo poo. Saw that episode with my grandpa not too long ago. He had watched a fair bit of TNG back in the 90s (including the borg eps) but never any DS9. Hearing him say "I like Sisko" after the scene with Picard filled my nerd heart with familiar pride

I would throw the meanest pon farr down on every Vulcan female to have ever appeared on Trek. Like the crew of the USS T'Kumbra they're all batting 400.
