Hands of blue what!? Tell us more! I've always secretly envied trekkies for having something so in depth to nerd over. I'd secretly hoped that Firefly would take off enough for it to become my Star Trek. But alas...

All of those ladies were/are smokin'. I think Summer is mostly just as attractive now, though she hasn't really been in anything in a while and she had a baby, so idk now.

I used to be such a browncoat. Haven't watched it in at least 3 years, though, so I don't really remember. =/

My recommendation for SciFi is Dollhouse, which is also Joss Whedon and also has Summer Glau for a portion. But it's not the traditional "ships in space" kind of scifi so idk if it really belongs in this thread.

Star Trek TNG and DS9 obviously, Farscape was pretty great, Stargate Atlantis was solid too. I've heard Babylon 5 is pretty great; but I didn't watch it much when it was on the air and I don't know where you can watch it now.

Best one going right now is The Expanse.

Even if this show were any good, it doesn't belong in this thread. Dr Who is definitively in the realm of fantasy. Less "technology" is explained than magic is explained in Game of Thrones.

Anon has earned some cool points tonight. B5 is badly underrated SciFi. But I can't give BSG a good rating due to how it all ended. Sure the writers strike fucked things up a bit, but I think the show suffered from the same problem as ABC's Lost. They started a show and didn't know where they were going with it.

>>744723918
I second this one too. Gone too soon.

I'm also going to vote The Expanse for recent series that piqued my interest. Although I was really enjoying the slow play at first. Seemed like it was going to be a nice gritty "low fantasy" epic but it started getting a little busy. Almost too exciting. I don't feel it needed the "save the world" vibe, I was happy with the "make it through the day" plot

>>744723925
First season was best. Petered off for me

>>744724187
>I was happy with the "make it through the day" plot

This is great at the start of a scifi/fantasy series, but sooner or later you either go down the "save the <whatever>" path or revel in your lack of agency

Each have their benefits for showing off the fictional universe

I love this whole "REE" thing. It's so fucking stupid. I think it's supposed to make of autistic people (nice, by the way, real nice.) but it seems to be mostly used in a more genuine way... so are you making fun of yourself, or... ? And when was the last time you heard an "autistic screech"? When has that ever been a thing?

>Firefly was great scifi because it had hot girls in it
You're literally everything wrong with everything. Your only redeeming quality is that you actually admitted that's the only reason you liked the show, unlike most of the cancerous fanbase who go on about it being fantastic when it is decidedly average. I hate that people suck Whedon's balls cos they can't tell the difference between a good show and a bad one with pretty girls. Buffy is objectively the worst fucking show yet people still go on about it.
The world would be a better place if all the Whedonfags dropped dead

>>744724785

Do you think that's maybe because it was a fantastic role and she was practically born to play River Tam?

Look up how they aired the first few episodes. It was a total travesty. That's why it failed. It almost immediately got a huge fan community after it went off the air, so much so that a show *that was cancelled in the middle of the first season* got a fucking *movie*.

>>744725454
Stargate is good until it becomes Fargate. Though "200" is amusing.

>>744724447
Yeah but Earth Alliance greatly benefited from the technological infusion that came from joining the alliance. I vaguely remember reading about how Earth scientists had figured out most of the science, it was the application that proved to be difficult. Then came the Warlock destroyers and there was no turning back.

B5 is god tier from the pilot through season 4.
Season 5 was fucking terrible, and the movies weren't that great. I think JMS was losing his edge at that point or just burning out. The movie about the Vorlons constructing that huge, stupid, generic gothic looking thing to open a doorway into "turdspace." The cheezy movie with the non-human thief girl. The way they cheezed out on the character design of the Drakh after the initial appearance (the first appearance was fucking creepy as hell and had that cool displaced time/space effect, the Drakh after that episode looked like Generic Alien of the Week).
But the bulk of Babylon 5..or rather B5 _before_ TNT..was the most solid, well written, BEST CAST sci-fi series on television ever.
Crusade was...a turd.
I just wish the B5 cast would stop dying. Fuck, the TOS Trek cast went what, 35, 40 years before they began dying?

Say what you want about the movies, but "In the Beginning" was amazing. Loved seeing the Earth/Minbari war play out.

>>744726713
Don't you love her trimmed little bush?

Yeah season 4 was shot with the possibility in mind that the show wouldn't return for a 5th season. I had the same thought about the Drakh. I think they explained it away as the Drakh experimenting with Shadow tech they didn't really understand. And yes it's sad how the B5 cast seems to be dying. But keep in mind the show wrapped almost 20 years ago.

In the Beginning along with A Call to Arms were fantastic. River of Souls tried a bit too hard and Thirdspace was cool, but very much a "day in the life"...a very bad day in the life...sort of thing. The Lost Tales could still be continued. I'd love to see a story about Londo, a character I've come to appreciate more as I've gotten older. Peter Jurasik said he's in if JMS ever writes anything.

The Londo/G'Kar dynamic always fascinated me, even when I watched the show as a kid with my dad. Those two characters are so incredibly written and acted...

>>744726820
True, In The Beginning wasn't bad. Seeing Londo with more hair was, odd. I think they could've done his hair a bit better.
I actually wish JMS had just spent more time wrapping things up from the first 4 seasons. We all know what happened to Z'ha'dum after the Shadows left with the Vorlons and other remaining First Ones, but wtf happened to Vorlon space? There was never, ever any mention of it from that point on. And you know EVERYONE else in the galaxy would've wanted to grab it. And what happened to the Great Machine on Epsilon III?

>>744723925
It's good. I remember watching it on Showtime before Scifi picked it up. Was called Tales From a Parallel universe if I remember right.

Actually I thought SGU was really getting a lot of story momentum when they killed it. I agree that Stargate sg1 was done with it's plot, though I think SGA should've gotten a more studying ending.

I'm ignoring the ending episode of BSG, otherwise amazing.

Also Michal shanks from sg1 married Rommie from Andromeda.

Not really, he was just outspoken and conservative. I actually agreed with a lot of what he had to say but didn't really follow his stuff because I don't get that deep into politics. He definitely had some personal issues though which led to his alcoholism. Fun to listen to in con panels though. Wish things had worked out better for him; he basically drank himself to death.
