I think that was the last time I really had my mind loving blown by something I watched on TV.

one of my favorite little moments in re:view is one of the tng chats, where rich calls the first episode "farscape station" and it cuts to an extreme crop of mike's face briefly looking to the side as he makes a quick mental note to get rich's rear end a minute later

Farscape is cool cuz it’s got a gimp man with glowsticks in his head, a couple Jim Hensons, a slut, and a pop culture man. The ultimate team up.

As a kid I thought farscape was also star trek. Lexx was not star trek though

Ensign Cally was fun but apparently she's in a weird sex cult now

also the boxing episode where Eddie Olmos gets hit twice and bleeds buckets of blood

The boxing episode has an 80 minute extended cut which is ridiculous.

Yes, but it's from the end of the syndication era, so seasons are 22 episodes and can feel like they're dragging on with filler.

The problem with trek now is that they keep filling the Voyager role but forgetting to sneak in a DS9.

You do sort of have that dynamic with Picard & Discovery vs. Strange New Worlds & Lower Decks. Though I haven't seen enough of SNW yet to know for sure.

I never watched battlestar galactica but the board game was cool
unless the cylon players reveal themselves as soon as possible, completely ruining the whole fun of the traitor mechanic and spending the entire game conducting a war of attrition using super crisis cards on caprica, Randy. 😠

Battlestar Galactica did the Lost mystery box horseshit? My roommate has been trying to get me to watch BSG for a little while, and now my desire to view it could not be lower. Is there enough good tv contained in the show to make up for :iiam:?

It’s even worse in some ways, because the first two seasons have a very tight plot and the few mystery boxes they set up seem to have fairly simple answers that you can already see the outline of. Then in the third season it just completely throws away whatever backstory it was working on, and goes completely off the rails with endless compounding mystery boxes with gobbledygook dues ex machina answers; literally the writers just bring God down from the rafters whenever the plot gets stuck in a corner.

BSG is worth it for the Bear McCreary soundrack in general and the song Prelude to War specifically, and the entire episode it's from. Ensign Ro rides hard.

After ditching the Federation for the Maquis and selling out Black Mesa East to the Combine it's no wonder Ensign Ro would go on to be the biggest rear end in a top hat in space this side of the Cylons.

If your bar for "best lightsaber fight ever" is set at Phantom Menace then I think that tells me exactly what your priorities are.

Yeah, that actual fight isn't that good. It did have some great bloody music though. Only good thing about the prequels.

Well that and the palatine actors performance. The Sith won as they had the only interesting character, and deserved to do so. :colbert:

The best lightsaber fight is either in cloud city or the throne room, all that poo poo in the prequels is boring as gently caress. There's such a thing as too much choreography
