Farmer Crack-rear end posted:What the gently caress Yep, in the far future of B5's post-series timeline, Marcus is restored to life, brought out of his cryogenic suspension. With everyone he knows dead and awake in a world that's thousands of years removed from his own, he ends up bringing Ivanova back to life. I think he has one of her hairs on his coat or something. Anyways, an Ivanova clone is created and Marcus ends up stranding himself and her on some empty world while giving her some bogus story like "Our White Star was damaged and we had to crash on this planet. The rest of the crew were killed but we just need to wait for Sheridan to find us." Which will never happen. It's one of the worst things in the B5 franchise. It's just scummy and weird and repulsive.

Watching VOY episode with  omega and I'm left wondering why all ship functions lock down and display a mysterious as gently caress rune on the LCARS ... instead of slowing to 1/4 impulse and saying, like, priority message for the captain.Also they'd be hosed if Janeway died suddenly and ChaKoT'ay was in command (but didn't have Super secret Omega level 10 clearance).

FuhrerHat posted:i like the episode where the dead body of the crewman is resurrected by the aliens because i always wanted that to happen to me when i was 5 That was a neat idea, but the episode was poorly done because they acted as if the character was close with everyone and had quite a history on the ship, but you had literally never seen her before. I understand that Trek shows fill all the other jobs in the ships with a rolling cast of extras, but the way it was fine made you spend half the episode thinking "did I miss like an entire season where this lady was a big part of the show?"

Remember the new guy? Sorry, I love tv tropes. It's basically all the interesting nerdy poo poo that got deleted from Wikipedia, collected in one place. I really don't understand why they can't devote ten seconds per episode to flavor, introducing the background characters and giving them some personality. It's done a bit with the Delaney sisters and Vorik, but almost everyone else is a silent extra until the episode when they die.

Like 20 pages back people were talking about Farscape and I just wanted to say that Farscape gets good when Scorpius shows up towards the end of season 1 and the exact moment the show gets bad is the doubler episode where they make 2 John's. The best part of The Peacekeeper Wars is Rockne S O'Bannon walking into the writers room and killing off every character that was added after he left the show. Also Scorpius is the best scifi villain bar none IMO. You are allowed to have a different opinion but you're wrong.

Farscape is shitgarbagetrash. The whole thing sucks. It never gets better. The premise is dumber than voyager and everything is stained with its inescapable Australianism.

I want to love the show because they made a serious effort with the puppets and I like a lot of the actors, but the show has that irritating blend of corniness and melodrama unique to commonwealth sci-fi shows like Doctor Who and Torchwood.

I tried watching Farscape and the fraggle rock-esque aliens just didnt do it for me. I could put up with bad CGI in B5 and rubber foreheads on any Star Trek, but for some reason Farscape just was poo poo and I've never been able to finish the first episode even.

Torchwood was garbage until the Children of Earth and Starz miniseries when it edged toward borderline watcable. The Starz series was good but like 3 episodes too long. I watched a few HD episodes of Farscape and you can see some of the moulding lines on Rygel but Pilot is still an impressive animatronic puppet.

I got 5 episodes into Farscape before I had to quit. I like the concept and I'm all for Henson Co. puppetry, but it just didn't click with me. The only episode I liked was the reverse ET episode.

I wanted to like it too and the puppets were fine. Its just like wallpaper paste of bland tv. And "Oi you killed my brother" missing-information plots are dumb. Even if they got better actors there wasn't much to work with. The systems and rules of the far off fantastical world were unengaging afterthoughts. Its hard to remember a specific episode it was all such bland mush

I also tried really hard to like Farscape, but couldn't get past the cheese factor. I had just finished my run of DS9, and everyone in the TVIV Trek thread said that Farscape was great, so I downloaded the first season. A couple weeks later there was a hellacious windstorm in Ohio, and I didn't have cable for a few days so I gave it a shot. I made it about halfway through the first season, but I couldn't do it any more. I literally preferred to do some spring cleaning to watching the show.

This commercial is has a Farscape actor, Farscape's brash young pilot archetype, Farscape's Aussie twang, Farscape's elaborate make up and is a better more engaging story and more memorable characters in just 30 seconds than you get in multiple seasons of Farscape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqWxGMqI_SE And speaking of commercials it looks like Terry Farrell's husband, the former Verizon guy, came out of retirement to shoot a Sprint commercial for the NBA finals. So maybe that residuals money is running out and we could somehow get a Dax flashback on CBS trek. More fuckin' Curzon stories about loving is a good thing I guess. shadow puppet of a fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Jun 22, 2016 |
