C'Mon. The Shadow planet had a creepy yellow one, Mimbar's backdrop was purple...every race got their own color coordinated nebula except Earth and that's only because we KNOW what our space is supposed to look like.
It's also good to know that hyperspace consists of choppy pixels from every deleted 3-D mesh ever made. Kinda a computer animation afterlife in glowy red.

But, most of the time, they're so far away that they're still just little colored spots mixed in among the stars. They may be easier to see, but they aren't going to fill in your whole background unless you get pretty close to one.

Making fun of ten year old CGI done on a low budget?
Tough man.

They couldve come up with something better looking for an effect that was shown almost every week....and yes, they could have on their budget.
Even years later, on Crusade, they had to keep using it because it was the standard for what hyperspace was supposed to look like.
They were locked into a bad effect.
By contrast, I dont make fun of Dr. Who's effects because they were actually innovative for their time and on their shoestring budget (except for the ski-mask Cybermen: that was just silly).

Hmm. Hyperspace never really looked that bad to me, but horses for courses.

Irony: Didn't Crusade have a different hyperspace effect, leading to much muted gnashing of teeth at rasf.b5.moderated? It had a different jump point effect, to be sure. Maybe the new hyperspace look was introduced in Legends of the Rangers.

I have several of the Crusade episodes on tape and it's the same effect.
I skipped LOTR (bad acronym, that) after I caught the scene where the gunner is "punching and kicking" to fire the ship's weapons. It looked like a Tae-Bo commercial.

It is a bad acronym. I just had to review a game called "Lords Of The Realm" for PC Format. And it was shit. Really, really shit. Awfully, truelly, shit.
(This isn't actually relevent, but I wanted to mention that I do actually now have work. Freelance, part-time work, but still work. Woo!)

Because I only wanted to come on for 5 minutes. If I went on ICQ, I'd end up talking, and not going to bed.
Which is pretty much what has happened anyway. Damnit! Why can't I sleep at the same time as normal people.
I'm going to attempt to do so now. Night.
