I bought this for my honey for Xmas. I must say, I never really took to the show. Seeing them back-to-back from the beginning, though, I’ll admit it’s growing on me. I love the art direction, and the portrayal of the military is atypical and more realistic than I expected. The highest-ranking officer doesn’t get involved with the day-to-day adventures, (which is something that irked me about the 1st season of B5), and the highest-ranking officer actually going on the missions is the wise-ass of the group, which is more likey to happen IRL.
I’m also impressed that the female of the group isn’t constantly the butt of sexual innuendo, a cliche in which many shows fall so easily.
You can consider me converted! (Not enough to pay for Sci-Fi again, but I’m buying the second set!)
Pet;D
