I just got finished watching the movie. My 12 year old son, and my B5 sidekick, had never seen it for whatever reason. I pushed at him to go to bed since it was a school night but his response was ,"I don't care, I haven't seen this one before!"
What's a mom to do? Let the little guy watch...who am I to standin the way of the next generation of B5 watchers?
I still say the weapons system sucks! Even in a twenty year old ship that's ludicrous! Wasting someones energy actually 'fighting' off attackers or rocks...hehehe, is wasteful and dangerous.
As for stories...::shyly raising hand:: Ummmm, I've written a Ranger story...no established characters in it except for the occasional cameo. All original stuff. I wrote it way before the Ranger movie was even mentioned anywhere, I swear! I find it very eerie that the plot lines are very similar.
It's at my website...shameless I know. LOL! Call me a starving writer..starving for feedback that is.
I am admitting to the public right here, that at best I am a rank amateur in writing, with glimmers of occasional talent. Note...glimmers.
Anyway....back at the ranch...The concept of the Rangers as a series is good...lots of unexplored territory, just like Crusade, although I found the effects for Crusade a bit on the low end. And the music of course...most of us agreed that Chen should not be allowed near anything approaching music for television.
Okay, rant over...and shameless promotion...have a good one all...and read G'kar's Declaration of Principles again...in rememberance.
