Binary Badger posted:Zima is still being sold and marketed in Japan. Exactly. I live in Japan and it's super easy to find at any convenience store or supermarket. I just never got around to it until last night.

Ehh, I'd doubt that. Star Trek TNG had the same thing when it was remastered in HD and it wasn't an issue.

Exactly. Single-biome planets are fine, but the unrealistic thing is showing single-biome planets as more or less the same as Earth otherwise. I'm not sure it ever shows up in Star Trek much, but I can buy that planets like Tatooine in Star Wars only had sentient life because of immigration.

Wasn't that part of the reason he left after a season? That having schizophrenia IRL and playing someone 'with a hole in his mind' was actually having a real toll on his mental health?

nashona posted:Looks at thread title... it's what, half the cast now? That's a bit exaggerated. It's about a third of the regular cast, plus a few notable guest stars (eg Tim Choate/Zathras). Still, it's a pretty high death count for a show that's only just over 20 years old.

Nope, but it really helped B5's bottom line as those actors were relatively cheap.

There's designs for B1 through 3 on the internet (probably fan designs?) and they are indeed red, orange and yellow

Can Joe Rogan act? He springs to mind as a decent Garibaldi, but it might just be his resemblance to Jerry Doyle

Admittedly it's been a while since I watched S1, but wasn't a big part of the problem the fact that the raiders were attacking ships in deep space far from any bases? I remember the reveal of their mothership and it's destruction, and I can buy that a mothership would have been a very difficult thing for most raiders to obtain. Makes sense to me that raiders would become a minor problem after that.

IMO there's also an element of dramatic license for TV. See also Space: Above and Beyond where the main cast were sometimes fighter pilots and sometimes ground troops.

TheAardvark posted:Proud of Delenn's actress for demanding less makeup. Was that actually a thing? I've never heard that and just thought the transformation was always part of the story regardless of Furlan's feelings towards the makeup. Asking here as I don't think it's kosher in the newbie thread.

Horizon Burning posted:It was with The Gathering. Mira Furlan apparently hated the heavy makeup and voice alteration, which is why it was lessened to what we got in Season 1, but it was not related to the transformation. Originally, Delenn was going to not just transform from Minbari to human but male to female. I see. I knew about the male -> female transformation but didn't know Furlan didn't like the original makeup.

Grand Fromage posted:I don't know what 2 and 3 are based on, IIRC we only see 1, 4, and 5 on screen but I haven't read all the RPG books or whatever. Fan designs I believe. The same with that design for B1 I think, you barely see any of it in In The Beginning, and certainly not in a completed state.

They do. In an early episode one of them (I think the one who turns out to be a telepath) explains that they do all sorts of odd jobs to survive, but it's not enough to really make a life or get off the station.

Yep, me too. I'm about halfway through S3 and can't wait for the new guys' takes on some of the stuff that happens in early S3, eg: Finding the crashed Shadow ship on Mars The video of Clark plotting Santiago's assassination with Morden(?) The political officer "Electric bleachers"

I just watched Crusade for the first time a few months ago (after a B5 rewatch) and I'd agree with that assessment. I've been meaning to post about it actually. It's rough, but it only had half a season and there was enough groundwork laid that it could have been really good, given a chance. I liked the cast, even if the only other thing I think I've seen Gary Cole in is Office Space so that was always in my mind. Yeah, the archaeologist is an rear end in a top hat but it made sense considering (IIRC) his main drive was making profit for IPX. Galen is cool, especially how he often just fucks off to do his own thing for the episode. But oh god, the music. I'm one of those people that doesn't pay much attention to music in a show, but Crusade's was that terrible it took me out of the show. For the intro sequence, I can't think of another show with such a mismatch between the music and visuals. If you haven't seen it, the visuals show lots of sci-fi action (as you might expect) but the music is some new-age Enya knockoff bullshit which is just hilariously bad and such a poor fit. The inter-species porn to kick off an episode got a good laugh out of me too.

Narsham posted:I suppose I can understand how you'd draw that association, but there really isn't much similarity between Enya's Celtic fusion music and Evan H. Chen's Chinese-influenced music for Crusade. Count me among the ones who disliked it a lot on first viewing, but on subsequent viewings it really grew on me. It's a pretty good fit for the alien archeology theme of the show, and it has a very detached affect which I think would have read very differently several seasons in. JMS definitely got the very different sound and feel between the shows that he wanted, and I appreciate the willingness to experiment. Fair enough, to be honest I'm not into that kind of music so Enya was the first (only) name that came to mind. I can see the fit from that detached, alien angle and I suppose it works in that regard. I still don't like it, but whatever, it is what it is. quote:With a mid-season cancellation, Crusade never really got the chance to learn from its mistakes, and that's not even factoring in the errors compelled by a network determined to cancel the show. That's the theme that's popped up a lot here - Crusade is a half-season show so there's very little to judge it on. There's a lot of promise, but still, we can only speculate on what it could have been.

Grand Fromage posted:This was to be dealt with in Crusade, which only got a single partial season. And I have not watched it, I really should. I got through Legend of the Rangers, it can't be worse. It's not. I watched Crusade for the first time last year and it wasn't bad. Certainly no worse than B5's first half-season. The show had a lot of promise and could have been something special if given a chance. It also pays to watch Call to Arms, the TV movie that links B5 and Crusade and sets up the main thrust of Crusade, the Drakh plague.
