;-) what do people think of our own credits/music then?
Really like the music and one of my favourite special effects bits in the series was the 4th series opening credits, zipping along the planet then out into space.
I agree! Season 4 is the one I like the least (in fact I think they should have stuck with ending the series on Terminal as originally planned) but the credits are way cool. When B7 was reshown here this year (rekindling my love of it) I still loved those credits, even though they've dated. Apparently they were based on 80s flight-simulators.
In fact, one of the things I liked about B7 (S1 through S3 anyway) was their handling of technology - talking computers without displays or whirring tape drives don't date - but season 4, so disappointing in other ways too, tried to show too much specific tech like the big count-down numbers on Scorpio's screens, and Qute's computer display showing Orac hacking in; that has dated badly. Despite that, I do love those credits with the change to deep space mode.
