Scifi TV Discussion Thread

[The Alexanderians]

Stargate buddies!

[Grenartia]

The primary comment I have about Enterprise so far is that it is desperately in need of more comic relief.

Also, Malcolm sounds very much like Bashir.

Just wait until you get to Shuttlepod One.

Early 2000's sci-fi was not exactly a buffet of comedy. Hell, the most popular show at the time was that depressing Galactica reboot.

That's a pretty good joke you told just there.

Indeed.


Also, dat file name doe.

That's a pretty good joke you told just there.

We're not having the Stargate argument again...

I insist on having it again! 10 seasons of original, compelling science fiction, plus another 5 seasons of very well spin-off, and 2 more seasons of spin-off spin-off that got fucked over worse than Firefly.

That's a pretty good joke you told just there.

It is a tense moment

Nintendos pass through everything!

Siege of AR-558 still gets to me.

Indeed. Though, I'm not too sure about the musical accompaniment. And I'm half tempted to write some sort of war song from Nog's POV.

I'm thinking of calling it "I Left My Leg on AR-558".

Marina Sirtis is very quickly becoming one of my favorite Star Trek actors, I've been bouncing around watching random Star Trek Youtube clips a lot lately and she is absolutely hilarious at conventions.

Indeed. My parents actually met her at a convention once.

Shame she got stuck playing the most dead weight person on the Enterprise.

I prefer to think she did a better job doing actual counselor stuff than, say, telepathing for Jean-Luc.

You've not seen SG-1 then I take it? Unless you count that as 90's.

I'd only count it as 90s in the same way I'd count Voyager as 2000s.

I haven't a clue what you're referring to. The fact remains its widely considered to be filled with humor, so it's either an oversight on your part or you don't consider it to be "early 2000's".

*Sigh*

I didn't mention it, cause Stargate was an average and forgettable show.

*organizes an Ori crusade*

HALLOWED ARE THE ORI!

I'm not having the Stargate discussion again.

Well now that's just begging us to have the Stargate discussion again.

I don't see the purpose. Ameri is so stubborn that after the nuclear apocalypse it'll just be him and six roaches. Not for any evolutionary reason, he'll simply just refuse to die.

Just as the Jaffa rebelled against the Goa'uld, Stargate fans like myself have gained strength and power and choose to live freely. This is the Stargate Discussion thread now.

[Juristonia]

Kree!

[Grenartia]

I'm with the shol'va!

[Juristonia]

Many have said this thread could be turned around. But you are the first I believe could do it.

[Alpha Centauri II-a]

Is the novel Rise of the Federation and the Saurians considered canon or not?
I know that ST: Titan and the Pa'haquel aren't really considered canon, so I was wondering if it's the same with RoF.

Saurian's have been canon as far back as TMP. And they make mention of Saurian brandy several times.

Aye, but I mean more the the conflict between the United League(?) and Basileus Maltuvis of M'Tezir, cooperating with the Orion Syndicate and basically infecting the whole planet with a plague.

The only things cannon are the tv shows and the movies. None of the novels or comics are canon

So apparently CBS was planning on making a ST movie trilogy exclusively for All Access, but then Paramount got word on it and said "Aw hell naw, you ain't doin nothin with ST movies, that's our territory, bitch!" and then they got into a little slap fight, and now CBS has "Temporarily postponed production" so they're probably never gonna be made.

All of this happened over the course of 1 day.

Edit: Oh crap, forgot this was the SG thread now... Um... Has anyone actually seen Origins yet?

Rewatching voyager in my spare time, there are some underrated episodes. Living Witness I think is a potent episode for our times

[Tarsonis]

Damn son, Unification is a harsh episode.

[Tarsonis]

Ah the limitations of TNG’s budget. The Romulans expected to subjugate Vulcan with 2000 troops? 2000 troops couldn’t occupy DC, let alone a planet.

Yeah, that part always irked me.

I have several issues with The Next Phase....


1. How can they pass through desks and people, yet not fall through the floor or bulkheads into the void of space.

2. How do they breathe? Is there oxygen molecules they’re interacting with they’re in phase with?

The answer to both: Don't think about it.

Optional answer: plothole armor.

Planned on paying for the service, but my life has been collapsing in on itself like Vorash's sun, so I haven't had a chance.

Living Witness was always a good episode.

Oh god, the bit with Geordi.

Living Witness is indeed an excellent episode. More Picardo, less Neelix is the way to make an excellent episode.

Discovery finale? wtf?

The only solution to WWII in space is to genocide the Space Nazis.
Go Prime Directive on their Ass. That's logical, Captain.

But then Michael gives the Big reD Button to the Lady high Inquisitrix because nothing could possibly go wrong???

Every single nu-Klingon in DIScovery would press that button immediately.
FOR HONOUR!!!
