Actually, I myself have ready access to devices that convert one type of energy to another. They’re called AC converters and microwaves! DX I mean, I’m normally not one to praise Battlestar Galactica, but at least they knew enough to have the shi get dinged up and lose power over the years; Voyager literally looks the same as shipyard-standard by the end of the series! Granted, that isn’t the only thing on the show that stays static, lol.
When I was first watching B5 with my uncle, I brought up that the CGI looked pretty lackluster, and he brought up the time period and budget too. Although, in a fun bit of irony, the visual direction by the time season 2 rolled around made me forget the age of the effects. My God, the Narn vs Shadows scenes. <3
It’s funny, actually. When I made this thread I had picked Voyager to compare to B5 because I dislike Voyager and have a weeee bit of a fanboy attitude to B5, lol. But it really IS a perfect comparison of opposites when you look at it. By the time B5 ends, nobody is in the same place (or even time!) that they started, mentally or physically; when they made decisions, those decisions stuck, and in the end everyone had to pay their price for the mistakes they made, and reap the rewards of their hard-earned successes. By the time Voyager ended, literally nothing had changed. The Borg were still alive - castrated like a Centauri action figure, but alive - the Maquis crew were still buddy buddy with the Federation crew, noone even made a token inquiry into the events of the Voyager’s exile, and nobody even changed ranks! And yet B5 had to fight for literally every season and got its sequel depthcharged, while Enterprise and Voyager were basically kept on life support until the ratings went into the red.
breathes XD
Also, not sure if Celestia is Kosh or Ulkesh. XD
