seaQuest DSV is pretty decent. Season 1 is, IMHO, the best because it sticks with the premise of exploring the unknown depths of the oceans. Season 2 starts to get weird. Season 3 is redeemed by having Michael loving Ironside replace Roy Scheider.

I dunno how long it's been since you actually watched the third season, but it's not really redeemed by Ironside. The consistency goes up from the wild swings of the second season (where they'd alternate between really dull poo poo like hanging out ashore for no good reason*, and bizarre poo poo like time-travel and defeating the literal god Poseidon) but there's still a lot of dumb poo poo, and the series finale is really racist out of nowhere. seaQuest deserved to get put down.


My advice is to only watch the first season, which I genuinely adore. That seaQuest bridge set is the best bridge set ever made.

All of Stargate SG:1 is good. It's like Star Trek in that even the bad parts are good.

Except the one episode with the same plot as Code of Honer written by the same person.

Um, it's NOT the same plot!

In TNG, the short-haired blonde warrior woman is kidnapped by savage Africans.

In SG1, the short-haired blonde warrior woman is kidnapped by savage Asians.

There is a lot of dumb poo poo that happens in Season 3, but if you can't at least enjoy Michael Ironside versus Michael York then why are you watching television?

I've gotten to Armageddon Game, where O'Brien and Bashir help an alien race destroy a ton of bioweapons just for them to try to kill them, and it's easy to forget O'Brien was a soldier fighting the spoonheads until the few times he starts disarming soldiers and Action Roll-ing while noscoping fools :dukedoge: Also I love this episode because Keiko saves both of their lives by not knowing a loving thing about her husband :hmbol:

Actually if you are on Earth sitting at your desk and your loved one is on a ship somewhere in the gamma quadrant that gets hit by a jem Hadar, your desk explodes

I remember someone explaining it was the EPS conduits exploding under literally any pressure because Humans designed the electroplasma whatever system and no other race designed an electroplasma system so efficient that it literally exploding was an acceptable risk compared to the loving GARBAGE the piece of poo poo knife eared VULCAN BITCHES decided

Be gentally.
Don’t even try thinking about stuff like that. Remember that time Geordi and Scotty were using a ship to hold open the door to a Dyson sphere so the Enterprise could escape? They beamed them aboard through the still active shields. How? gently caress if anyone knows.

Then a few episodes later some young lady learns she is Q and is given a choice between going to the continuum or resisting the urge to use her powers. Yeah ok, but the continuum totally stripped Q of his powers a few seasons ago why not just do that to her if she wants to be human? gently caress if anyone knows.

We can bitch about exploding consoles, but we all know the reason why they do. It makes space combat more cinematic. It's the same reason why every horror movie is filled with loving morons who make the worst choices. If they had an ounce of common sense, they would find a way to escape/defeat the antagonist and there would be zero dramatic tension.

Some goon many pages back mentioned battleshorting fuses as a possible explanation. I kind of liked that one. It makes sense that you don't want the conn to shut down during a firefight.

It's because they are just more dense, like phones didn't used to blow the gently caress up but that's a trade off to having them be mobile and be capable of looking at porn.

“Dear Ensign Labelle Family,

It is with sorrow we inform you that Ensign Labelle passed in the act of duty to Starfleet aboard the USS Fancypants. The cause of death is due to a cave in at her helm station on the bridge triggered in a cascade reaction by a garden gnome malfunction on deck 10 aft after the Fancypants was struck by a torpedo in a battle against the Dominion. She will be remembered fondly for her Knitting Championships and ghaak lasagna casserole. She is given full honors and we had space fireworks after we torpedoed her into orbit around a star. In this time please accept these two tickets to Risa, all inclusive, three bars of gold pressed latinum, and a coupon entitled to all you can eat Yamak sauce at Deep Space 9.

Excelsior,
Captain Jellico”
