Hey, it had poor visual effects by its day's standards as well! Great writing though.

- flukus 10y agoI thought they were cutting edge at the time,everyone else was still using scale models weren't they?
- Merad 10y agoIt was cutting edge technology, but looked inferior to the physical models used by shows like Star Trek TNG or DS9 (I say sadly as a huge B5 fan).
- pluma 10y agoI was a Star Trek fan back in the day and the effects were one of the reasons I never gave the show a fair chance. It just looked so low quality compared to the practical effects in other shows.
- Keyframe 10y agoIt wasn't cutting edge at the time. I started doing pro VFX about that time. What was revolutionary with their VFX though was that they were using Lightwave (and Amigas, presumably PCs later too) which cheapened their VFX workflow by a significant margin. Workstations and software at the time were a significant cost. Like, REAL SIGNIFICANT.
