It could only have been better if they'd managed to get Patrick McGoohan in to be one of the interrogators (I believe this was a plan they had)

It's funny that overthrowing the government in a military coup backed by alien governments then becoming galactic dictator is more or less what Clarke's propaganda was saying he wanted to do

Earth: Final Conflict was good in the first season, went downhill from the second and fell off a cliff in the fifth trying to chase ratings by badly aping Buffy. The actor who played Sandoval turned up in Designated Survivor out of nowhere and made me smile

Am I the only person who doesn't mind pillar boxed 4:3 for shows intended to be 4:3? Zoomed and cropped 16:9 last time I watched through B5 on Amazon was an inferior experience to the 4:3 version I have. If they have something better to scan from, fantastic, but I'd far rather have it in the aspect ratio it was originally intended to be in.

Even if it was shot in 16:9, the shots are composed in 4:3, because that's what most viewers were going to watch it in when it was first aired. So with the existing 16:9 release you get a combo of live action shots where everything is blocked in a 4:3 box in the middle, the composited live action/FX shots where they have to zoom and crop so the quality plummets mid scene and it's framed weird and the full CG shots that are made to look even worse by grainy zoom on the low res and also with bad framing. A higher res scan can fix some of these problems, or at least even out the quality, but 4:3 is still a better option in my opinion

Maelstache posted:Eh, it was never taken off Prime in the UK as far as I can see? Annoyingly it's not in the subscription package though, you still have to pay for individual seasons/episodes. Ah right, I didn't check after having watched it once on Amazon. My 4:3 .avis are still superior.

The station is orbiting Epsilon III, which implies at least another two planets in the system. The staging point off Io is a completely different location, which is in the Earth solar system

Babylons 1-4 span in both directions. Now what went into deciding which colours they were, that might be interesting. Babylon 1 was red, we know 4 was green and 5 is blue. We can presume 2 and 3 were also coloured differently, maybe orange and yellow for a rough rainbow order.

The ony way to improve Intersections would be if Patrick McGoohan had been available to play the interrogator (as I think was the original plan)

Not sure why we need to spoiler tag this but I won't be a dick by accident The Vorlons have no qualms about genetically modifying and practically enslaving individuals to serve them and their needs (eg Sebastian, Lyta) and modifying entire species to naturally view them as divine and a turning a significant subset into living weapons.

There was a time and permission factor involved too. Everyone else was too busy to have time for the ethics debate they would have demanded to have if he'd let anyone else in on the plan. I choose to believe Marcus is the genuine nice guy that nice guy creeps think they are. Susan even says he never asked anything in return and he never mopes or complains that he deserves her, Lennier style. The short story never happened.

I'm just happy that someone somewhere with decision making power has accepted that zooming and cropping to widescreen is not a superior experience to a consistent 4:3 version

The Prisoner is such a mess that it's not possible to create a viewing order without continuity errors. Still great, but not really a good example of a well plotted show.

Grand Fromage posted:One of the most successful in the country. But he loved B5 and by all accounts was a great guy to hang out with on an individual level, so I dunno that it would affect any opinion he might have about a reboot if he were around. 'Dirk Benedict on Starbuck being cast as a woman, but worse' would be my prediction
