Voyager won an Emmy. DS9 did not. The choice should be clear.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:Popular consensus is that DS9 is the better of the two. Personally, I liked Voyager, but I guess if you like the campy stuff Voy would be the way to go. DS9 is a solid show though, with occasional gimmick episodes interspersed with the multi season dominion arc.

jodai posted:Monster Squad is on Netflix. It's an 80s movie where a bunch of kids fight Dracula and some other monsters. I had not seen it before and it's pretty fun. I love this movie. It's not just some other monsters it's all of the old school universal monsters. It's also kind of self aware because the kids are horror movie buffs so they ask the important questions like can you kill a werewolf without silver? Does Dracula like pizza? and most importantly, Does wolfman have nards? Nope. Hell no. He does!

Capt Quantum Leap was terrible, his character was terrible, and continuity was worse than any show I've ever seen, worse than I believed was possible from professionals. And to pile it on, because it really deserves it, many major actions with consequence happen off screen. And the entire series is a time travel plot.

Mostly Martha is on Netflix now. It had an American remake but the German original is vastly superior. It is sad and lovely.

Also, every time Mr. Peanutbutter had a party, the banner would crack me up.

Captain Lavender posted:And if you had to choose between Voyager or Deep Space 9, which would you watch? The answer for 90% of people is going to be DS9, but watch Threshold (S2E15) from Voyager so you get to experience the most insane hour of television produced by any Star Trek series.

The crew takes one look at the lizard babies and go "nope" then just leave 'em on whatever planet they find them on. If you haven't seen the episode, read no spoilers going in. If you have and it's been a while, I encourage you to watch it again - I just re-watched all of Voyager not too long ago and it blew my mind how completely insane Threshold is.

I like the fact that Kate Mulgrew got frustrated with how they wrote Janeway as an insane person and just went with it. Show is still objectively bad but eh, Year of Hell could have been cool if they didn't push the reset button at the end.

The trouble with Voyager is that in their zeal to write a good female captain (absolutely a noble and worthy goal) they made Janeway literally better than everyone else in the crew at their respective jobs. One of the awesome things about Picard is that he delegated all the stuff he wasn't good at. But in Voyager, if the poo poo's going down, don't send in Chakotay or Tuvok or Kim or Paris, send Janeway in. The rest of the characters are just there for her to talk to. Even Kirk didn't pretend to be a doctor or an engineer. TNG is the best episode by episode, DS9 has an amazing 7 season story arc, Voyager is a mix that doesn't quite work because the characters aren't interesting. EDIT: Also Voyager had that two episode combo that potentially negated the existence of an entire season of the show. Dick move. Fate Accomplice has a new favorite as of 22:43 on Sep 10, 2015 |

The best part is that Jeri Ryan had a messy divorce with some Chicago senator dude that ended up with B-Rock the Islamic shock Obama getting a boost in the direction of the presidency. She had the self esteem to say 'I'm not going to swing my titties around like an extra in Roadhouse, tyvm' and his political ship sank.

Anyone else watching Top of the Lake? It's a mini series about a girl that goes missing in a small remote New Zealand town. It reminds me a lot of Twin Peaks. Really sad though. I had to take breaks between episodes. This is on Netflix.

Yeah I loved Quantum Leap as a kid but I have an irrational hatred for Enterprise and everything about it. Except Trip. Trip was alright. And Jolene Blalock was actually not bad as a Vulcan since she has no emotions in real life. Surprised those two haven't been suckered into SyFy movies, Vulcans vs Zombies or something. edit; Coatlicue posted:Anyone else watching Top of the Lake?

Got some good input on Star Trek. I'm super into TNG, so I feel like DS9 is the way to go now, with a continuing story that's in the same general realm. Voyager is in some far off quadrant right? Yeah. I'll see'em both. TNG so good y'all. I want to contribute, but I really don't have anything noteworthy I can find. Soo... Crocodile Dundee is up?

Narcos is pretty cool you guys, it's a story about everything that happened around Pablo Escobar. Basically that part where Jesse visited the Colombian cartel in Breaking Bad: the series. Pretty high budget with real locations, everybody who's supposed to speak Spanish speaks Spanish so that's a bold move. It could use a bit more personal-drama depth but it's real cool nontheless and paints a very wide picture.

The Hinterland has a similar vibe and pops up on Netflix every so often. There is a new season due out, so if its not on now it will be very shortly.

Top of the Lake was probably the best dramatic TV show I watched in the last year, only Mr Robot was as good I thought, and it's very different. I loved the female-driven energy of it though, her first encounter with the cute guy was him going down in HER in a club bathroom.

The weirdest thing about Enterprise was Tripp getting impregnated without his consent by someone who just figured it couldn't happen, no access to abortion, and everyone laughing at him about it.
