[QUOTE]Originally posted by Starbuck: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [qb]Star Trek miniseries? Has anyone watched a TV miniseries lately? The answer is no. HAW HAW! But seriously, good TV miniseries? You are thirty years too late for that.[/qb][/QUOTE]Ahem. Sci-Fi Channel's "Dune" miniseries, anyone? The UK vampire drama "Ultraviolet"? Those were most excellent miniseries, and I'm sure there are more. As for B5... well, it had its good points and its bad ones. But at least it wasn't the same bland mush that some shows force-feed the viewer... and they had all kinds of shades of grey, characters who weren't squeaky-clean, and [i]story arcs[/i]! Look at Voyager. The ship went back to Earth in factory-new condition, and aside from minor things (Paris/Torres baby, addition of Seven, the Delta Flyer)... what had changed since the first episode? Barely a thing, as far as I could see. A definite case of lost potential - you don't spend seven years in a duranium-hulled sardine tin without developing as a person, but I didn't care one whit more about these people at the close of "Endgame" than I did at the beginning of "Caretaker". They were just cardboard cutouts to me. [/QB][/QUOTE]
