[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 4329, member: 115"] Well, I thought I'd share my opinions while I'm still thinking about them :) Turn back now if you don't want spoilers. First, this was SO written as a pilot, and I hope that it doesn't affect how the show does ratings-wise. Am I the only one that can't stand Sarah? I thought out of everyone, she was by far the weakest link. I was also very unhappy with the whole weapons system/combat thing. It was a good idea, but to me it just came out very, very poorly, and personally I don't think the actress who played Sarah helped. On good cast notes - G'Kar was fun, and Andreas Katsulas is great as always, although certainly not as contemplative as he was at the end of B5. I loved the Healer Minbari - for some reason I just really liked her. It was great to see the Narn Ranger too, she was great. I really enjoyed the dialogue between David and Tulann. Hopefully if there is a series there will be much more of this. I like the new jump point effect a lot. I was also suitably impressed with the Council - the Minbari are such a stubborn people. The storyline was okay. To me, it was nothing special - I liked Crusade's premise a lot more. I found it [i]really[/i] hard to believe that "the Hand" would fall for such rediculously obvious ploys, especially since they "make the Shadows look like insects". I'm also wondering if the crew of the Liandra has problems - I figured David's ploy easily, and I can't see how everyone else couldn't have. But maybe that's just me. I'm also disappointed in the "more powerful enemy than the Shadows" story. I find it neither menacing nor suspenseful, especially since we know already the Alliance survives. Maybe I'm just a little biased, but I would like to see something more political than a B5: Part II. Especially given G'Kar's presence and the ending, it really made it seem like it was standing on B5's legs, instead of it's own. And damnit, I so want to know what happened to Lyta!!! Well, I know she dies in the Telepath War (that's what G'Kar's line about her was referencing), but argh!!! Personally, I preferred Crusade more I think - they had a more interesting cast, a better premise for a story, more suspence, and less of a need to use B5 to hold it together. But then, I know more about the Crusade story and where it was supposed to go, so I could be biased. But these were my thoughts. LightPhoenix [/QUOTE]
