  1. Seriously B5 is worth the long watch. The one thing that you should be aware of, is that it seriously is a multi season arc to the story. The unfortunate side is that when they got told that they wouldn't get the 5th year to wrap things up, the creators and writers struggled to compress two years of story into one season... and then after shooting it they got told they were actually getting a 5th year. So they had to stretch out a few things and do some "post story" consequences and what happens now. The final year had a lot of interesting concepts and a nice approach, but still didn't quite match up to the earlier stuff. The character evolution on so many of the characters are brilliantly done. (key note: G'kar and Londo. Plus, the ambassadorial aides Vir and Lenier). Ivanova and Garibaldi also get a lot of really well delivered lines, with that amusingly sarcastic bite. They do poke fun at themselves a few times, but try to do that serious issues with a foot in the slightly campy-sci-fi area. While the sfx and cgi can be a bit ropey by todays standards, they actually helped establish a lot of the techniques of how to achieve quality sci-fi sfx on a minimal budget that actually got translated later to how films achieved thing. - Random Film/TV production trivia.

  4. It's actually a really good series , with a lot of well done history behind it. You don't actually need to delve into all of it to quite that extreme either.
  5. Heh, Eric Flint has just done a blog post on what he considers the best reading order to use when trying to get into the Ring of Fire series.. I guess that's the perils of creating a long running and multi-threaded series of stories... EricFlint.net : 1632 Series Reading Order

  11. Second Chance. I was mildly curious about this, and took the plunge. Watched the first two episodes and they've kind of caught me up. In many ways it seems to be riffing off the old show "Now and Again" in the general premise. Aging man gets killed and someone restores him to life in a body that's superior to normal, and shenanigans ensue. This time around it's an aging and forcibly retired Sherrif (who was corrupt, but never for himself, only to get the bad guys) gets killed because his FBI son is investigating the wrong thing. A private corporation run by a prodigy brother and his sister use Mad Science! to restore him to life in an attempt to develop a cancer cure for the sister. He then promptly gets involved in tracking down his murderers while dealing with the situation, and so on. Tim DeKay turns up as the FBI son (I guess he got used to playing the FBI in White Collar), and the rest of the cast seem fairly competent at what they're doing.
