Oh, Farscape's on Prime!

Awesome! Hopefully it'll stick around on there for awhile, I only made it halfway through the series on Netflix before they dropped it

[Tarsonis]

Prophecy is actually. Really decent episode with great guest stars

I just remember that episode for Neelix landing some Klingon booty.

Even if you hate him, you gotta respect him

They even included the PK wars in season 4.

I watched "Mirror, Mirror" yesterday. Really enjoyable episode. Also, Spock with a goatee.

I feel bad for Mirror Spock. He was actually a good guy, but his goatee has become shorthand for "Evil duplicate".

Yes, it is unfortunate.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that DIS is AU, or they go to serious lengths to unfuck the myriad continuity errors.

I'm relatively new to the franchise, so can you please tell me what DIS stands for? Thanks.

Discovery. Much potential, much disappointment.

Oh, Discovery. Still have to watch it though.

Let me save you some time. Don't. Main character is a massive Mary Sue, has no congruence with the other series and just generally shows a flagrant disregard for good writing.

I still kinda want to watch it, even if it is really bad.

Oh hey, we're throwing Mary Sue around at random again.

Having a "main" character at all is pretty incongruent with Trek

[New haven america]

It's not, they've said it's not hundreds of times.

She is.

Michael constantly disobeys orders and is always rewarded for that, is as intelligent and as skilled as an commodore or an admiral while still only being a Lt. Cmdr., is constantly shown in the right even when those actions are wrong, etc...

Not to mention she's family to the most popular character from TOS. I try not to be one of those guys, but yeah. The Mary Sue is strong with that one.

Its not that bad honestly, i had no interest in it when it was first announced but ive liked it quite a lot since its come out.

It's not.
First season takes a while to get going, but season 2 has been solid so far.

It's actually quite good. I rather like it and am (very impatiently) waiting for the drop of the next ep.

Yeah, like Data, who was ultra-intelligent and strong and advanced and... couldn't feel any emotion or sense whatsoever... Or Riker who was incredibly intelligent and driven while also dealing with long lasting and seemingly never ending trauma due to his childhood and the Pegasus incident, while also being the one who ended up destroying the Enterprise. Or Sisko, a Cmdr. who sucks at diplomacy but who was reluctantly put in charge of a backwater space station that ended up being the focal point of a generation defining war and learning that his entire existence was a lie.

Yep, real bunch of Gary Stews right here.

[Vassenor]

Sisko ended up being literal Jesus by the end of the first episode.

[New haven america]

Sisko ended up being literal Jesus by the end of the first episode.

No, he ended up being the emissary.

Still doesn't change the fact that he sucked at diplomacy and nearly ended up destroying the station, could never let go of a grudge until it was too late, couldn't let go of anything really, had to watch his wife and son die right in front of him, got to learn that his entire life was a lie, need I go on?

Wait when did Jake die? Aside from that alternate timeline episode when he killed himself to break Sisko out of the negative space wedgie of the week?
