I wouldn’t mind the space exterior CGI being completely redone from scratch. It’s awful in a way that’s distracting, not charming.

The Star Trek TOS CGI was controversial, mostly because of how few exterior shots are in the show and how the shots are mostly for framing, but it is an illustrative example of restrained CGI that makes itself non-flashy and is non-disruptive to a first time viewer if you aren’t looking for it. Babylon 5 could do with a similar treatment.
