Well to be 100% fair a lot of the film for B5 was damaged in an earthquake so that is the reason some of it looks so bad. Also the show was shot in widescreen because JMS and others saw that coming,it was just staged in such a way that all the action took place in a 4:3 frame. It's my understanding that they only zoom in when they don't have a widescreen copy of a shot due to film being damaged. I wish we had a group of fans like the Doctor Who restoration team to work on B5 who would look for and find the best film elements and restore them,because B5 deserves to look good.
Oh and as for my remarks about fan fiction,I have written fan fiction myself and it is a great way to get into writing and I have read some stories that are better then the series or movies they are based on and I consider most fan fiction endings(including my own)for Mass effect 3 to be better then what we got in the game. I have written some stuff that people seem to like. I consider that my stuff needs a lot of work to truly be counted as good but I do my best. Still that doesn't stop me from having a sense of humor about myself and others on Fanfiction.net and making the odd joke at our own expense. After all if you can't laugh at yourself,what is the point?
