Aaaghhh, I just watched a Babylon 5 episode. The script was terrible, but it had a nice 'environment', so I might just watch one again...

Hey, I just watched episode 1 of the Television-series 'Dune' not the movie, the television series. Let me say that the graphics were very impressive, but unlike in the movie, the actors weren't very good and the script was terrible (that's what you get for deviating from the book!) If only they'd merged the 2 together...
