          😂 that being said, is crazy to think that that was actually cutting edge CGI, pretty sure we still called them Silicon graphics at that time maybe. B5, ReBoot, crash test dummies, those three were pioneers from a tv show production CGI.

          I’m curious what those first shows in other countries were like

            Crash dummies is basically unwatchable hahaha. I remember watching it so many times.

            B5 also notably has inertia physics in space, mostly, which was unique

              Was later on, but Space Above and Beyond handled inertia physics well iirc

      I stopped B5 after the resolution of the shadow wars. which apparently only needed a plucky American to explain that that whole thing was pointless and they all just went away.

      Seems pointless to continue after that.

      Should I continue?

        Yes. And do so knowing that the whole thing was supposed to be a five season arc, then they got told “no you get four” so hastily wrapped up the war only to be told “have another season!”

        So they pulled an entire season out of their arse on the fly and in this year it is very. Very relevant
