My point was that by the time of Babylon 5 it was cheaper to use CG than using plastic models and cameras.
The quality wasn't quite as good, but within a few years it was both cheaper and better than plastic models.
mamon's argument is that with plastic models the "end result wasn't that great, but it was enough to get by". The same argument applies to Bab5.
That's why I disagree with mamon's argument.
On the other hand, B5 had an absolutely amazing storyline. I wish someone would remaster it, replacing the exterior CG shots with new renders, and release it in full HD. It would beat the crap out of most of the things that are on TV today.
