That's because you will never distinguish a good computer-rendered object
from the real thing.

What do you mean, "hokey" ? Those are the most realistic effects I have ever
seen (notice, I am not saying they are COMPLETELY realistic). For example,
most other shows make their figters look like x-29s: they glide nicely, make
these great banked turns, etc. Bab5 fighters look much more real: they fire a
series of short bursts to turn, and they actually have inertia (as opposed to
Space: Above... fighters). PPG shots look vicious, if not realistic: you can
see that that thing can actually HURT, as opposed to cheesy phaser beams.
Most of huge ships/stations in Bab5 ROTATE, they don't have the magic
"gravity generators". and so on. I mean, after I saw the Agamemnon, I began
comparion all other ships on other shows to her.
