The Question IRL posted:Not only did Voyager come out before the BSG remake, the same producer (Ronald D. Moore) worked on both. IIRC, he wanted to do BSG because he wasn't allowed to do the survival thing in voyager. A big part of that was that the network didn't want the damage to be persistent because they would've had to keep refilming the panning shots of the ship all the time.

Babylon 5 is the West Wing of Sci-Fi shows. A position I will elaborate on, if required after the flight I am on takes off from Glasgow and lands in Dublin. (Puts on Flight Mode.)

Babylon 5 is like a weirder alternate version of DS9 that was made on an atari. Its about as good imo, less baseball episodes at least.

My fav Bab5/TNG/DS9 trivia is that they were trying to be secretive and not have anything leak so the other could copy. Then turns out Patricia Tallman was often working on B5 as Lyta, and as TNG stunt person, on the same day.

All im saying is DS9 would have been better if instead of using a communicator badge Sisko went up to a big CRT screen with a spinning 3D graphic reading 'TREKCOM' each time

O'Brien was the true MVP of TNG and DS9. Notice how both the best Star Trek shows has an Irish guy moaning about the wife. THE FUTURE

Thinking about West Wing chat, I think the success of The Bear could bring a new wave of prestige shows that have themes (total dedication to a vocation and institution as the supreme virtue, no matter the cost to your personal life - and in the case of the Bear, your health), tone (deadly earnest with smattering of light comedy), and style (fast-paced, dialogue-driven) similar to both shows. Giving something like this to Moffat will produce absolutely demonic results, because it will combine his desperate need to prove how clever he is with the inevitable intense smugness of a show being pitched as some sort of public good. If you're particularly masochistic you can easily imagine Moffat's Holmes and Watson doing a corridor walk-and-talk about asylum backlogs

Failed Imagineer posted:Foundation is also incredible, for anyone who isn't watching. I put it off for a long time because it's different from the original books, but who cares it owns Skipping two pages to respond to this because Foundation is not a good show. Unless the second season is somehow a massive improvement on the first which I doubt

Farscape did a better job of playing with the infinite possibilities of alien species, instead of just humans with funny foreheads, than just about every scifi show in existence (perhaps Who?). Also it ran with the two Crichtons plot in a way that Startrek never could. That and Crichton actually getting absolutely hosed in the head by the situation as the show goes on instead of resetting him every episode. I know I used spoiler tags on a 20 years old show but it's just too good a show to spoil for anyone who hasn't seen it. Pablo Bluth fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Jan 2, 2024 |

Jakabite posted:I’ve heard this from a few people. One of the things I liked about The Expanse is that it wasn't set in some idealised utopian sci-fi future with magic warp travel. It's set in a future where humanity has done nothing to save Earth from catastrophic climate change/resource depletion, and the planet is on life support relying on resources being mined and shipped in from the asteroid belt by an exploited underclass living and working in the worst possible conditions. If we ever did progress enough to expand into the solar system to the extent portrayed in the show, then it's pretty much how things would pan out.

feedmegin posted:Surprised no one's mentioned For All Mankind yet. The early parts at least are pretty grounded (it fast forwards like a decade every season) and some of the background alternate history stuff can be amusing. Plus Yeah but it's on some stupid streaming service which makes it easier to understand why it is less talked about. It's a pretty neat premise, though I'm not sure it gets better the further and further they get from our timeline. But it has Frank Sobotka from The Wire's 2nd season and he's great.

I don't follow darts, but I did notice a lot of people online taking the piss out of his looks and saying that there's no way he's 16, which was poo poo. Then the Sun tried to abuse his naivety, but it's backfired on them beautifully.  He's a good lad, and he's apparently a loving amazing darts player e: Oops. Just realised the date was 29th Dec.

But he's also in the semi-finals of the WDC which means he's walking away with at least £100k. At 16. So who cares if he looks an older 16? EDIT: He's actually in the final so that's £250k guaranteed forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Jan 3, 2024 |

I find the whole "he doesn't look 16" to be really uncomfortable, just as I found it uncomfortable when racists were screaming the same at young male asylum seekers. Some people just age quickly, and I remember a few people at my school who looked in their 30's and 40's when they were 16. I'm an old out of touch hermit, but isn't this a form of body shaming? (and that's not a dig at you forkboy84, but a dig at some of the poo poo I've seen on twitter and elsewhere) e: I was a very late developer, so experienced this from the other end of the spectrum, and the relentless abuse left many marks.

I don’t think anyone’s shaming him for not looking 16. Well, I’m sure some people are but that’s not been the tone of it from what I’ve seen. People age differently but the lad does not look 16 and I imagine this has served him very well in life - no one’s going to be a dick to the kid who can get the cans and smokes in

I would say he looks like I looked when I was in my mid to late twenties, but puberty hits some people like a sack of bricks, some people just look older or younger than others. I started going grey when I was about 15 so I look a bit mismatched.

Certain cesspit corners of the internet have been mocking and shaming him hard, forgetting that he's still a 16 year old kid. Just be thankful none of that has popped up on your feeds
