Re: Babylon 5 and Space 1999 coming to Comet
Comcast stuns me with the depth of their stupidity and lack of support. The third party contractors are horrible and create more problems than they solve. The few regular techs I see are pretty good and tend to solve lingering issues. For the amount of cash people pay, they get very little in return.

Re: Babylon 5 and Space 1999 coming to Comet
Back to Babylon 5, its nice to see a great series come back when many of its original cast are still alive and able to enjoy the comeback. Babylon 5's cast never enjoy the glow that Stargate SG-1's cast enjoyed for so many years. That may change as rumors abound about another Babylon 5 series possibly being made. When reruns begin and are viewed all over the country, the fire gets stoked and people ask why not?

Re: Babylon 5 and Space 1999 coming to Comet
I would like to see a new B5 series,but it has to take up where the original ended. None of this jumping 500 years ahead,or 100 years back. I found the space visuals in the original,lacking. The sets and makeup was good,but the space shots looked a bit cheap. The storylines were good. Perhaps Netflix will consider it. I don't see any network picking it up...they're too cheap.

Re: Babylon 5 and Space 1999 coming to Comet
Agree on the new series but never found the space visuals lacking in any way and in actuality were quite cutting edge for the day allowing for many more ships to be seen on screen than with Star Trek(which made great efforts to improve after B5 showed its abilities),

Re: Babylon 5 and Space 1999 coming to Comet
Doesnt really bother me having commercials and honestly I actually enjoy watching it on Comet. iI reminds me of the original SciFi channel I liked so much before they became SyFy. I watch shows either on my computer or on Cable thats it. No smart tvs for me.
