i love sci fi and be willing to put up with a lot . sci fi movie or tv be usually underfunded and under appreciate and misunderstood . i try to like this and i really do and but it be to good tv sci fi a babylon 5 be to star trek ( the original ) . silly prosthetics and cheap cardboard set and stilted dialogue and cg that doesn not match the background and and painfully one dimensional character can not be overcome with a ci fi set . ( i be sure there be those of you out there who think babylon 5 be good sci fi tv . it not . it clichéd and uninspiring . ) while u viewer might like emotion and character development and sci fi be a genre that do not take itself seriously ( cf . star trek ) . it may treat important issue and yet not a a serious philosophy . it really difficult to care about the character here a they be not simply foolish and just miss a spark of life . their action and reaction be wooden and predictable and often painful to watch . the maker of earth know it rubbish a they have to always say gene roddenberry earth . otherwise people would not continue watch . roddenberry ash must be turn in their orbit a this dull and cheap and poorly edit ( watch it without advert break really bring this home ) trudge trabant of a show lumber into space . spoiler . so and kill off a main character . and then bring him back a another actor . jeeez . dallas all over again .
