[QUOTE="Eridanis, post: 6826, member: 275"] Legend of the Rangers is the Highlander 2 of the B5 saga. They lost me in the first five minutes when the second-in-command ordered retreat. With Rangers like him, how did our heroes ever win the Shadow War? Someone (perhaps G'Kar?) mentions that the lead guy was more concerned about his crew than about himself. Unfortunately, he was more concerned about his crew than about his MISSION! Remeber the B5 episode where Sheridan orders a White Star crewed by Rangers to be intentionally captured/destroyed so that misinformation could be fed to the Shadows? What if that Ranger had said "oh, no, that's too dangerous, I won't do it"? It completely disgusted me. All this could have been redeemed if the characters had been likeable, but not one captured my imagination or interest. Even G'Kar was a shaodw of his former self - more like the G'Kar of the first season of B5 than the man who had learned hard-won truths over the years. Maybe he had too much sex with Lyta out amoungst the stars over the past few years. I rewound the tape after the movie was over just to make sure that JMS had really written it. No wonder SCI-FI has held on to this for so long (it's been done for months) - this was a terrible film. I hope that there is another B5 series- perhaps even a Rangers series - but I will not watch it if this crew of nabobs is on it! They are in direct opposition to the honorable Rangers we have seen before (Sinclair/Valen? MARCUS?), and if I never see these characters again, it will be too soon. You can probably tell that I was disappointed. :) [/QUOTE]
