[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 2159659, member: 4779"] Okay, I have finally started watching B5 on DVD. I know nothing about the show and expect it to really entertain me. The first 2 eps have been really good (the first being better than the second) and the Trek actors are already popping up, which is a good thing. :) The widescreen presentation is great and looks awesome on my TV. But there is one thing that I have to ask that I think I know the answer to: Did the CG look THIS FRICKIN' BAD when it was initially aired?! Ugh. Any scene with CGI stuff in it (space or live-action merged) looks terrible. I have read that it was because they didn't convert it to HD very well compared to the normal live-action stuff but it is really jarring at times. I know they had a low budget and all but I'm used to Trek/Firefly/Farscape level CG. Eek! The story and presentation (I really like the aliens) is good so far, so the shotty CG isn't ruining things but it does take me out of the moment a bit. Anyone else have this problem? I am looking forward to more eps, tho. I'm already looking for a good price on the Season 2 DVD set... [/QUOTE]
