Doctor_Fruitbat posted: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. ooh AH HO ooh AH HO YAYAYAAAYAAI YAI YAAAYAYAYAYA Crackers Don't Matter is like the Dead Parrot Sketch of Farscape - yeah, it's amazing, but fans love it past the point where its useful. I think I killed my mate's interest in Farscape by starting him on that, because you need to be familiar with the characters for the underlying fear that they're gonna go too far and do something they regret to really work. Without that, it's just goofy fun. Orville is the TOS/TNG sequel we've all been hoping for, even if the first season waaaay overdid the Macfarlane comedy stuff. S2 manages to be much more emotionally serious (the doctor dating the robot was the most star trek thing ever) and consistently nails the humour in a much more natural way (the crew gossiping like school girls about the doctor dating the robot). The biggest sin of Disco is that there's no reason for it to exist. We've had more "what if Star Trek, but cynical?" series than classic Trek, there's no need for another. Orville does the space progressivism better than Disco, and The Expanse does the cynicism in a much more nuanced, less nihilistic way. And whilst I'm on a roll - Altered Carbon was pretty and slick, but they cut out the anarcho-communists in space, which are kind of the entire core of Morgan's politics (or at least, the bit he wants to explore in the books)

i dont think any of them are completely good movies, say on the level of karate kid, but thor ragnarok has some chuckles. What We Do in the Shadows is way better though.

Pochoclo posted:If you want to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation (and you should because it's great), please for the love of god just start from Season 3. Season 2 is about 50% terrible 50% perfectly watchable, and skipping it means skipping a few really good episodes.

Cast_No_Shadow posted:Half way through season 3. It's better than season 2. Less space fungus more space politics. Yeah Season 1 is still the best one cause Space P.I. + all the belters stuff is hard to top. Season 2 is a weak sci-fi X-Files knock-off - season 3 is Space Cold War so it's cool again.

Catzilla posted: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! I’ll admit it wasn’t as good as Season 1 but I was also quite pleased that it took a turn I wasn’t expecting. It became pretty absurd pretty quickly, reminded me of David Lynch a bit, but that’s sure to draw a lot of criticism. Maybe it caught me at the right time. I swing between hating Lynch and thinking he’s a hack to thinking he’s a genius depending on my mood.

Star Trek 6 is still the best one though, it's impossible to make a bad movie that includes a daring escape from a space prison.

Go on Lammy https://twitter.com/BBCPolitics/status/1117371973112225793 e: To contribute to Trek chat, the best Trek happened when Ronald D. Moore was heavily involved (Measure of a Man being an exception to the rule) hence TNG from season 3 and DS9 being great (DS9 Trek best Trek come at me) and through no coincidence the BSG reboot being excellent television. Also Voyager being mostly poo with some decent episodes (Year of Hell holy poo poo). I think VOY was much worse off for going back to the Alien of the Week format and would have been much greater if Moore had been able to have a darker take with his story arc style.

Nearly all Marvel movies are forgettable, bland and poorly made. Into the Spider-Verse on the other hand is a solid gold treasure.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47924025 I'm trying to figure out what the point of this 'Corbyn recording' story with Margaret Hodge is. I saw her being interviewed on the news and even the interviewer was like "yes, and?"

mehall posted:Thor Ragnarok is great, but honestly Spiderman is average at best. Yeah I really liked Winter Soldier as well, always had a soft spot for when Marvel does relatively low level espionage type stuff and the whole "Shield got taken over by Nazi's and nobody noticed because they basically were doing what Shield wanted to do anyway" thing was pretty interesting. More to it than most of the Marvel films at least. Spiderverse ruined any other Spider-man films in the near future for me I think. Even if that hadn't come out I'm not a fan of them seemingly feeling obligated to team him up with Iron Man and now Nick Fury, Spider-man is like the last superhero who should be happy to be working with billionaire industrialists and spymasters.

Wait aren't these the intellectuals who scream out about arguments not being about how many people support them? Now they're looking to get some people together, and not on the strength of their argument but just out of a principle based on a military pact.
