Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By tortilla-flats: Widescreen? Hi-Def? If this is the same one that's on Roku it's the remastered version that used to be on Max. The CGI is obviously still in SD but the live-action shots are in HD and look great. Everything is in 4:3 to maintain consistency between live action, CGI, and composite scenes. |

The CGI is terribly dated and it could be a lot better. But I think the story and plot would work as a stageplay, as a novel, or as a series of fireside stories. Really good content tends to transcend the medium you use to tell it. |

I tried a few years ago and just couldn't get past the low res quality. |

There's 30+ year old CGI that holds up. I think the difference is that they were going for realism with what they had. But doing that instantly dates your visuals. Tron is older CGI and it doesn't look nearly as dated - because they weren't going for realism. |

J. Michael Straczynski had complete arcs outlined for all the characters, including escape plans and introductions for actors leaving the show and their replacements. That's how he was able to write practically the entire show himself, which I understand is a unique achievement.
Unfortunately he didn't have a plan for being cancelled at the end of season 3 but given season 4 to wrap up everything he intended for seasons 4 and 5, then renewed at the end of season 4 by surprise after he used up all his story and having to wing season 5 with random messy post war plot lines. I actually like most of season 5's random messy post war clean up aspects anyway, that's at least something nobody else does, but it's obviously not as thought out and polished as his original 5 season war arc. |

I would have loved to have seen what JMS would have done with ivanova's character if she had stayed on the show. Not to say the character was handled badly. |
