I'd at least show her the Voyager episode with the abandoned copy of the Doctor being found so she can know it's all downhill from there


e: 220 AD, March 15 – Cao Cao, Imperial Chancellor and ruler of the Kingdom of Wei dies. Generations of nerds raised on early Dynasty Warriors games will continue to pronounce his name as Cow Cow and mourn the loss of the overpowered instant death property of his ultimate weapon in DW3.

Honestly Janeway, the Doc, and Torres are so good but I find every other character too hateful to watch. It does have a half dozen supremely entertaining episodes.

Also it ruined the Borg :argh:

Farscape.
It takes a while to find is feet but it develops in to something brilliant. Unlike most TV sci-fi it really runs with the opportunity to do weird poo poo instead of just actors with funny foreheads.

Farscape is one of those series that did so much crazy poo poo that it couldn't all land, but when it did it was gold. Also Crichton was the absolute best and most realistic character in that kind seeing, where he basically just went crazy from all the weird space stuff, but turns that crazy into his biggest strength. And Pilot is a precious baby with a big adorable turtle face.

Trek opinions: Enterprise had the best theme tune and I sang along to it every week, I will die on this hill forever.

OK I'm being overly harsh. The last 3 episodes of s1 are truly excellent, you just have to slog through a lot of 'meh' to get there. It's by no means a bad show but you can feel the overbearing hand of a company trying to force the show to be have broader appeal through constant action and spectacle.

Farscape is very much the best.

Except when it's the absolute worst it did have some REALLY off storylines and characters. When it rocks it rocks hard, when it misses it's goofy as gently caress.

BSG was great and also had some Correct stuff in Season 3 showing how good unionisation and strike action are. Also Gaius fracking Baltar.
BSG utterly broke my brain when I realised, after watching it for about four years, that the actor who plays Gaius Baltar is not the same one that plays Julian Bashir in DS9.

Also, you're not the first person to confuse Alexander Siddig and James Callis that I know of. ALSO, Callis' parents run a B+B in central London which is surprisingly cheap, if you ever want to sleep in Gaius Baltar's teenage bedroom

The worst episodes of DS9 are when it becomes a self-important dirge about The Nature of War and the best episodes are silly poo poo like the hopscotch mind pyramid, O'Brien fighting a cloud, and Sisko going back in time and accidentally getting a civil rights leader killed.

Hooray I've caught up with the thread after spending the last 2 weeks 20-30 posts behind. You fuckers and your derails :D

Do we have a clear idea of how Labour deselections are going/going to go? IIRC the 2017 snap election led to a load of poo poo MPs staying on because there wasn't time to replace them (Kate Hoey I'm looking at you). Are CLPs required to wait until an election is called to deselect their MPs? If not I can still understand waiting because it would distract from the Tory shitshow when the press jumps on the Corbyn Purge (more so than they already do I mean). I know that's inevitable and therefore the CLPs should try to coordinate it to minimise the time it's in the news, and logically it would make sense to do that in the runup to an election. But in the case of another snap election, could we be stuck with the fuckers again? If so I wonder if calling an election with the minimum of notice could be of long term benefit to the Tory party by hamstringing a Corbyn government with a large number of rebels. This would be very bad because getting nothing done would discredit Corbyn's politics in the eyes of the average voter.

The OA season 2 was terrific.

I'm sorry, but I had to de-lurk to say that this is an incredibly bad opinion. The OA had an interesting premise to start, but the end was so bad. Not to mention criminally wasting Jason Isaacs. That was eight or so hours of my life I wish I had back!

Any kind of privatization of basic goods and services like power, water, public transport always ends up poo poo. Corbyn pursuing a strong reorganization strategy into the public hand is a gift and hopefully will influence the rest of Europe.

Threshold makes it past the "so terrible it's funny", um, threshold, which is why it's not the worst Voyager episode. There's more than enough just plain bad and dull ones in that series' run for something else to take that particular honour.
