Favorite Star Trek episodes.

The Breen, huh? They were cool. Would’ve been nice for some more character development with them, though I suppose they were there to be mysterious. Their ruthlessness really took you by surprise. They were one of the few alien races that directly attacked earth.

Yeah, I also liked how even the universal translators couldn't translate their language

And you never hear mention of Federation condoms, despite Kirk's, erm, habits. Maybe that's why he likes those alien ladies so much - they never ask. Yet he never goes to Bones with intergalactic herpes.

Not just female aliens...female machines, too.
Good thing the Holodeck was invented yet.

You cant catch rust, at least. But you might get infected with a strange new form of energy. "It's VD, Jim, but not as we know it"

Because of this thread, I will make DS9 my Summer binge...that should go over great.
I did 24 a couple years ago, the wife almost left.

Anyway... Star Trek has really poor isolation and prophylactic protocols. Does the planet have a breathable atmosphere? Yes? Are there pathogens? Let us find out using all the senior members of crew!

Shall we take supplies in case we get stranded (happens often). Of course not! It's like the people who hike up Ben Nevis in october in flip flops because it's sunny.

Military tactics on away missions are like Waterloo. When the shooting starts it is considered sporting to stand in red in plain view

my wife insisted on a binge of Battlestar Galactica, DS9, and now Babylon 5

My favourite episode is when Dr. Crusher's clothes fall off. What do you mean that was a dream?

 

[Jeff Scott]

The one where Bones says, "Damn it, Jim"

...that was all of 'em.

We could narrow it down to those that Bones said: "He's dead, Jim!".

B5 is the best!

Walter Koenig (Bester) agrees with me.

i've enjoyed all of the iterations, and all of the movies, but my favorite character (as character development goes ):

She was very sexy and that’s why she was there, but I really liked here character too. She was interesting and really funny from time to time. Also gorgeous. Of all her lovely features, those lips. Oof. Fantastic. I have no doubt the show would’ve been canceled long before seven seasons without her.

for me that renders as a very pale person in light clothung in a snowstorm lit by a flash

Where are you getting Babylon 5?

yes. i see that now. and of course, you're correct. thanks.



sharing information is what it's all about!

Also (and I'm on a roll), there's a real lack of banter. In every workplace I've been in there's been some, and on TOS and TNG they work together for years

That's the "reality" of TV. Nothing unnecessary is included.

For me, one appeal of the Star Trek parody series "The Orville" is the trivial banter and other details that are part of real life, but which are rarely present in typical programs. It provides a "verisimilitude" that I enjoy.

It's like 24. I really have concerns for Bauer's kidneys. Nearly as much as Sutherland's liver.

The wife and I binged B5 last summer. It's one of my favorite sci-fi shows ever.

I don't think it is on any streaming service. We have all the seasons on DVD.

 

[toowrongfoo]

Ah, thanks.

We got the complete DVD box set, including all the movies used in brand new condition for £45.

I remember when they took Babylon 5 off netflix. It was a tragedy.
