Warner Archive has some of the 70s Roddenberry tv pilots/movies and I’m always on the verge of buying them during the sales, but ehhhhhh I dunno if I can really handle that much unconstrained Gene.

Powered Descent posted:Welcome to Paradox is one of those 90s sci-fi shows that no one else ever seems to remember. Wikipedia backs me up that I wasn't just hallucinating it, though. The name sounds so familiar, and I was watching a lot of sci-fi channel in 1998, but I don’t think I ever saw it. It’s streaming on amazon for free—no prime necessary.

If you're talking 90s SciFi that everyone seemed to have agreed to never talk about again then Sliders is the king. Also one of the few shows that you could revive with the original cast today and have it be awesome and probably better than the original run.

Get a new cast though.

Join Ben as he deals with all the hilarious hijinks along with the rest of the cast: His son Jake, Julian the lovable British doctor, Julian's husband Miles the head mechanic, Jadzia in charge of the airport news stand, Wacky old Odo who's been here for years, Kira the only one keeping the place running, her lovable husband Quark at the cafe who's always got a get-rich scheme brewing, and a cast of guest stars!

Sliders was the king of the weirdly aired timeslots because I don't think I ever saw an episode when it first aired but they re-ran that show constantly in syndication like nothing else. I also remember Sliders because for a while the episode where they go to an Earth where Hillary Clinton is President was pulled from Netflix for some political legal reason.

Lot of 90s sci fi shows I recall watching during their original run, feeling old. Earth Final Conflict was pure insanity on re-runs because they'd just play any episode and you have no idea what is happening because the entire cast is different and the plot has completely changed.

Andromeda is my favourite lovely scifi. It is worth watching for about a season and a half and went to poo poo around the time they fired Robert Hewitt Wolfe and Kevin Sorbo took the creative reins. The lead character is boring and awful (and Kevin Sorbo) but the side characters are way better and the setting is entertaining. It's not *good*. It's just okay, for about a season and a half. Then it goes to horrible poo poo for three more years.

I didn't even make it to the end of season 2.(Incidentally, one of Twitter's little joys lately has been Lucy Lawless dunking on Sorbo for being a dipshit chud.)

Payndz posted:I somehow stuck it out through the first season, and things started to improve towards the end as there were clear signs of an underlying storyline that appeared to be heading somewhere. The second season started off better, as they'd learned what did and didn't work. Hey, this might actually turn out to be good! You didn't miss much since the show became Space Jesus fights the Devil after that.

The only thing I remember about the show was the ship's AI having a 3 way argument with her screen, hologram, and robot body selves, that was fun. Also at somepoint they landed on a wildwest planet and stayed there forever.

I remember seeing part of an episode extremely late at night after I had gone to college and stopped watching tv regularly and I was very confused about why they were all on a small-town planet and there was no spaceship. Also the purple lady was a different color and the guy in the dog suit was gone. Truly the best of the syndicated sci-fi action shows for a 90s winter Saturday afternoon was Jack of All Trades/Cleopatra 2525.

Senor Tron posted:I love that design so much, if only for how it makes you really appreciate the massive length of time between the TOS movies and TNG era. Totally agreed, and it's much less of an obviously retroactively developed "missing link" gap-filler than the Ambassador while still having some broadly borrowed elements from the Excelsior design.

Seaquest was another show that changed premises a bunch of times. Once for every season, I'm pretty sure.

In hindsight it was kind of funny that they spent all that effort to design the SeaQuest and just the fact that it was always underwater almost completely obscured what it looked like

The space channel here in Canada started playing seaquest reruns right around the time I was stuck in the hospital with a mangled digestive tract while hopped up on a bunch of painkillers, so I ended up having this weird fever dream involving seaQuest, a screen door and fish sticks. To this day I can't think about fish sticks without becoming nauseous, gently caress you seaQuest and gently caress you Captain highliner

I don't think there was a single episode where Roy Scheider had to deal with a shark. Maybe that was one of his stipulations in taking the role.
