It would be a real hoot to see my uplifted Canine race on their intergalatic walk in search of the ancient Masters. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

What I think is that what is needed is a movie-generater. Pre-created objects and figures, voice generation, pre-scripted actions. You want your character to kick, you click on a target, type in some numbers and your character kicks. As for voice generation, we had a VG on our 8MHz amiga that wasn't bad, so we should be able to do pretty realistic on a 1.47GHz, shouldn't we?

I'd even settle for them FINISHING WHAT THEY START!

Come on, name one non-Star Trek series that went to a successfull, non-network-forced conclusion.

This rant brought to you by me getting interested in a cartoon, only to find out that it only ran for one season.

No you will fail to do so.
There's too little character development, and the ones I've started to read resulted in immediate boredom while I do like to read, and like SciFi.

Re: OT: SEIV Movie??
 

A live action movie based on any SE IV stories would be very difficult to swing, I think. But the Othaglot & Cane story might make a decent animated feature. And it could be done by a fairly small studio these days with computer assisted animation.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Not having watched much of Farscape or any of the shows on Sci-Fi, I'd say B5 is probably the most successful non-Star Trek sci-fi series around. I'm not talking about the spin-offs, but just the 5 year show. And if you're talking ancient history, Dr. Who ran 27 years.
