Don’t know how you guys feel about comparisons to Star Trek but I thought this was interesting.
Also, Mods … if this kind of post is not allowed, I don’t mind it being taken down.
I’ve only watched about half of all Star Trek content with series and movies and animations. I thought I had years of content to watch in the future … but after hearing about other series from other people over the years, through comments in this community and through lists like this Youtube video … I think I’ll be spending the rest of my life watching scifi, the majority of which will be Star Trek.
Great advice here. I totally agree with Firefly. Close to perfection in every character/story/etc.
For BSG, they made a 2-part movie to kick it off. I watched that a few years ago and it still holds up pretty well. If you like those intro-movies, it’s worth a watch as a series (even though it does end poorly).
Babylon 5 is on my near-term list to start.
Firefly was too wonderful for the for-profit TV media to handle - definitely we would have enjoyed more, but just as definitely that was never going to be allowed under those conditions.
BSG:
Yeah, I’ll say.:-) Especially that one where they encourage rape - shudder. I can’t recall Stat Trek ever hitting that hard? More impactfully, sure, bc Capt. Picard was a freaking role model of leadership, as too were Kirk, Sisko, and… well… no, not Janeway:-).
Remember to persist through Babylon 5 - you won’t be disappointed, at least not in the long-term, although you might not enjoy every moment of every episode either. Unlike Enterprise though, it will be worth it (hey-oooh!:-P).
