This show is so fucking retarded kek, I love it

>>212164927 (OP)
good lord

as a kid I remember seeing this kind of scifi slop all over TV and never got into any of it because I appreciated kino.

>>212165012
if you appreciated kino you would've watched it

>>212165012
One of the races in the show is genetically modified humans called "Nietzscheans" and I think you can infer their deal from that

>>212164927 (OP)
It's so cheap looking, but that adds to the fum. The actresses are cute, too.

Had a massive crush on her in my early teens

>carries the show for a season and a half by chewing the fuck out of the scenery
>refuses to elaborate
>leaves

I think people have forgotten just how cheap cable network TV used to look.

Even bad Netflix shows get a budget.

>>212165106
Purple trance was so much better.

>>212165159
Damn, he leaves? I'm finishing the first season now, do they at least get a new crew member to replace him?

>>212164927 (OP)
he's missing his wrist spikes

>>212165047
and they're great
>>212165106
too bad this costume change directly coincides with the show becoming irredeemably bad in all aspects

>>212165289
Rev Bem stops showing up early in S2 and 'formally' leaves midway through, the actor developed a severe latex allergy and just couldn't perform anymore, never replaced.
Tyr dips out of the main cast toward the end of S3, albeit in a more planned out fashion. I'd tell you who comes on in his place but I don't want to spoil

>>212165289
It’s another fake Klingon

I defy you to find a single redeeming quality in pic rel

>>212164927 (OP)
It's only just too much of a sorry pos in a few areas that render it unwatchable. The choreography stood out. Eesh. The mega-ugly alien in hard to look at.

>>212165289
The show becomes unwatchable before he leaves so it's not that big of a deal. S1 and S2 are great and comfy. S3 has some decent episodes but is largely bad. S4+ is just awful.
>>212165377
the nietzcheans are way more interesting that the klingons. Klingons have a lot of "they're just wacky alien" handwaving, but the nietzcheans had to contend with also being humans.

>>212165427
>>212165451
wtf were these people thinking

>>212165544
With Seamus? No clue
I do really like Rev Bem though, he's the standout for me in season 1.

>>212164927 (OP)
One of the writers watched firefly and decided to just turn the show into firefly randomly so you had this show with a fuckhuge flagship ignore it and everyone starts shooting pistols at western bars.

Post Rommie or else.

>>212165666
Agreed Satan, it's always really weird to remember that the andromeda is 3 times the length of the largest aircraft carrier ever built

>>212165666
Andromeda came before that Whedon-slop.

>>212164927 (OP)
Why did the explosion of sci-fi series about a group of misfits on a big ship during the early 2000s happen anyways?
I always chalked it up because of Farscape, but I don't really believe it was the case these days.

>>212165544
>>212165451
The magog are supposed to be ugly, you retards. They're a horde of monsters that are rampaging and killing everything in their path. This guy is specifically a rare good one that rejects violence

>>212165790
>This guy is specifically a rare good one that rejects violence
so hes like Worf

>>212165747
I think people got a bit burnt out on having sci-fi settings be so structured and militaristic. You get more opportunity for character driven conflict when there's more chaos in the social dynamics.

>>212165747
>group of misfits on a big ship
I love that shit, does anyone know any books like that?

>>212165819
The Magog are not at all comparable to klingons, they're basically genetically engineered murder goblins that only care to eat and reproduce by killing. They're essentially hellspawn, and I'm not being overzealous with that description.

>>212165931
I think Shepard got to fuck all of these by ME3

>>212165819
>Worf
>good one who rejects violence
Come on anon, really?

>>212165427
Never saw this little fella again. I think trance teaches school in leafland.

>>212166001
klingons called Worf woke so

>>212165747
Farscape, Andromeda, Lexx, Firefly, and I vaguely remember another one about a bunch of cloned humans on colony ship where they had to fix their malfunctioning ship AI in the first episode.
Man, people real jumped onto the misfit crew on a "living" ship thing didn't they?

>>212166175
Dark Matter got cool, then they cancelled it.

>>212165931
I wish.
Sci-fi is full of slop nowadays. Especially if you care about prose at all. Few authors know anything about science to write science-fiction, even fewer manage to escape the woke cliches, and basically none can do it with writing skill.
Except for John C Wright, I guess, but I don't think he wrote any "misfit crew" space opera.

>>212166209
I watched Dark Matter and Killjoys as they came out, enjoyed both since they felt like a slightly higher budget Andromeda

Popped an episode of this on the other night with the promise that "It's Hercules but in space." and got a Harper/Trance ep with like 30s of Sorbo. Fiance wasn't impressed but still got Farscape I guess.

This show had some goofy intros

>>212164927 (OP)
I wacthed as a teen

This killed a comfy Farscape thread.

>>212165159
ZESTY

>>212164927 (OP)
somehow I couldn't stomach the soulless unmemorable rubbish like this.
i know I saw some episodes of it but nothing whatsoever stood out. couldn't even dislike it apart from the disgusting ape shoved into it, just found it generally unwatchable.
had a stronger dislike for lexx, which seems to be posted here a lot. that was dreadful. firefly was hideous cringe for pre-plebbitors and I wish I'd never seen it. my curiosity was drawn with the news that they'd successfully campaigned to have the film made, by sending peanuts or pencils or other dimwir nonsense to the offices of the studios.
watched it and found it utterly bland and lowly.
generic poo like space above and beyond was easier to sit through and had a few moments to it.

>>212168441
The peanuts was Jericho I think. Firefly only got a movie because it was at the top of Amazon dvd sales for like a year.

>>212164927 (OP)
I jacked my little dick raw to the latex outfits you don't even know

>>212168737
not actually latex at all now that I'm looking at it, but there's no question this is where I got this fetish

how does it compare to picrel?

>>212168782
here's another example of 12 year old me having excellent taste in mid tv shows to furiously masturbate to

>>212165159
>carries the show
Incorrect

>chewing the fuck out of the scenery
Correct

He was a horrible actor. His attempts at appearing Shakespearean were cringe inducing.

>>212164927 (OP)
it is retartded but its retarded in a really similar way to star trek TOS and the characters are good. I prefer strong characters over scifi mumbojumbo, kevin sorbo and the pink girl are gr8

>>212165289
I forget what season he left in, but basically the lore is he butted heads with Sorbo being the top dog and felt he wanted to do real acting not just be big bad guy who chews the scenery.
So naturally he went back to daytime TV, kek.

>>212168868
It's free on YT, I'll give it a shot at the background noise rotation.

>>212165427
>loves to drink coke
>good with computers
>constantly making shitty jokes
>wants to bang Rommie
Literally me fr...

>>212165427
Hes just having fun, no one else on the ship is enjoying their predicament.

>>212168441
Watch Farscape, its better than any of those shows listed and gets seriously kino.

>>212165277
The episode with puple trance being tormented by the smoking man had young me gooning so hard

>>212169273
not by much though honestly overrated I dont see how someone would hate this then love farscape, the quality level is similar generally.

>>212169305
>the quality level is similar generally.
If you dipped Farscape in shit a thousand times over, made the campiness fail instead of be endearing, basically execute everything worse, sure, Andromeda is just like Farscape

>>212169305
Not even close
Andromeda was kino for its first season then it got de-railed hard by a writing change to make it more of a sorbo focused hercules in space

they stopped making shit like this across the whole world and I am FIENDING for something new. last we got was syfy stuff. killjoys was good and dark matter was better

>>212164927 (OP)
What about Forever Knight
an 800-year-old vampire working as a police detective

>>212165221
all the money in the world can't buy sovl

>>212169592
it was pretty good. the show where ron perlman is a beast type character sucks though

>>212165106
I liked her better purple tinted than the reddish tint.
>>212165159
I know Jason Momoa's Ronon Dex from Stargate Atlantis was a total Tyr Anazasi rip off but I never had any problem with that.
>>212165451
Magog were really cool.

>>212169377
I dont see it that way lol a good chunk of farscape is just dealing with some corny excuse for everyone to hang out on the ship. Most campiness is endearing to me I dont view anything in farscape as that good, all daytime scifi is asking you to take a lot of ridiculous shit super serious.

>>212170965
Women are so cute bros.

>>212171068
>Women are so cute bros.
Yeah but they feel like sand

>>212164927 (OP)
Andromeda, Lexx, Farscape, Babylon 5....what other weird star trek competition did the 90s shit out?

>>212164927 (OP)
Retarded, you say?

>>212165012
fpbp.
I'm always amazed how low people's standards are.
>but if your standards are high you only get to watch one thing every 10 years!!!
Exactly.

>>212171638
>one thing every 10 years
name some then mister high standards

Lexa doig is hot!

>>212164927 (OP)
Discount Star Trek.

>>212169592
Is he never seen in the day? Does he only work the night shift?

>>212165427

I always thought he was Seth Green.

>>212170965
Goddamn Trance was pretty. How did she never get any larger roles?

>>212171635
Nah this show is basically a comedy its not meant to be serious at all imho

>>212171614
StargateSG1

>>212164927 (OP)
Hercules,:the legendary journeys...In Space.

Captain Dylan Hunt

>>212174110
Harper describes dylan looking like a Greek god in the first episode. Fun fact, harper is the way friend in bride of chucky.

I watch this on Tubi and play EverQuest on a 2nd screen. Reminds me of being 16 when the world wasn't so fucked up and gay. It was going there but it wasn't there yet.

>>212165106
I had a crush on the asian instead, my yellow fever probably started then.

>>212165931
>i can't tell the aliens from the animals

>>212173605
yes

>>212165221
Probably why older shows are so much better. They had to invent new techniques for things to work inside their low budget. New shows have millions of dollars thrown at them so they just buy whatever mass produced garbage they need.

>>212176037
>They had to invent new techniques f
No they didn't. If anything they used corny shit from 20 year old (at the time) movies. It looked like shit then and it looks worse now. The lack of giving a shit made it fun.

Hi

>>212164927 (OP)
Im a fan of lexa doig still, she was SEXO!

>>212165106
Trance a cute

>>212165159
The other Nietschean was better

>>212165427
He had space aids

>>212171635
Worth it just for the theme song

>>212165159
>the episode where he's blowing shit up while playing Wagner

>>212164927 (OP)
3 women. One appears to be mulatto and one black dude. THIS SHOW IS WOKE!!!!!!!!!!!

>>212182525
Yeah but you want to fuck them all so it cant be woke.

>>212170965
When women 69 they taste each others' pussies then when they make out they taste both pussies at the same time.

>>212166044
>captain may i suggest a spread of photon torpedos?
>worf its a rescue mission

>>212164927 (OP)
It was originally written by Roddenbery as "what if the Federation eventually falls" but then the show was hijacked by Sorbo who turned it into Hercules in Spaaaaace.

the science was actually done well
the writing was good up until a point
it went downhill the longer it went on (and replaced the lead writer)

>>212168868
I guess there are worse things to masturbate than Gimli there.

I have seen bobs and vagene
