Raven Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 The Peacekeeper Wars is very good. I think Five showed it just before Christmas, not sure, but it is certainly available on DVD, as the copy of my shelf attests! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 If you haven't seen Farscape watch it, it was brilliant was glued to the TV throughout although I love Angel too Look at me resurrecting old threads again ... I have, at one stage or another, liked just about every show mentioned in this thread But Farscape was my favourite, pickle, especially seasons 2 and 3 - some awesome stuff in those years.

Karsa Orlong Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Did you watch the mini film to close the series loved it tied up loose threads Of course! This is your universe I think, over the years, I've owned about four different versions of Farscape on dvd and now on blu-ray. Brilliant series. Whenever I talk (or type) about it, it just makes me want to watch it again. Might have to dig out Liars, Guns & Money and have a re-watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amesy Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Holy Thread Revival, Batman! Stargate SG-1 is my absolute favourite TV series. Although the later seasons without Jack O.Neil/MacGyver were lacking a certain something..... I can't think what..... TNG comes a close second. I never saw any Farscape or Battlestar Galactica so I couldn't comment. Amanda Tapping is Le Gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) I've been watching Stargate Universe on Pick over the last ten weeks and it is now up to the end of the first series. It's not the Stargate I've known and enjoyed over the years (in the form of SG-1 and Atlantis), it certainly feels more like Galactica, but it's not bad. Robert Carlyle is excellent as the unpredictable and volatile Dr. Rush. Edited July 30, 2012 by Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 I agree Raven! I recently watched both series of that (granted I'm a huge Robert Carlyle fan anyway) but I actually really enjoyed it. Definitely not on a par with other Stargate shows and I can see both why people might not have liked it, and why it got cancelled, but I enjoyed it. I liked the unusual approach of putting normal songs with lyrics, often by bands I've even heard of, into dramatic scenes and so on. And the characters actually really grow on you!

Karsa Orlong Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Just read that Michael O'Hare (Babylon 5's Jeffrey Sinclair) has died, aged 60. http://www.variety.c...084?refCatId=14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 ^ That's a surprise. Babylon 5 doesn't seem to have been a good show to work on, in terms of the number of cast members who have passed away since it finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I know, that's what, five cast members at least who are no longer with us? O'Hare, Richard Biggs, Andreas Katsulas, Jeff Conaway, Tim Choate . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Babylon 5 might be a big pile of s*** (according to one Mr. Bisley, anyway) but you might be interested to know it's first episode aired 20 years ago today . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Babylon 5 might be a big pile of s*** (according to one Mr. Bisley, anyway) . And Sheldon Cooper ("You call that dialogue?" ). Its lows were lower than some, for sure, but its highs were higher than most. When it first started on Channel Four (20 years ago . . . crikey) I called it Bolloxon 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 ^ More like 19 years ago, given the series proper didn't air in the US until 11 months after the pilot. Yes, it was clunky in places (and it could have used a whole heap more money), but I really liked Babylon 5 for the most part. The 5th series was a let-down, but series 2 to 4 were amongst some of the best TV sci-fi I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Finished watching Firefly through again on Blu-ray last night (very pretty, but some of the effects shots look a bit ropey in HD!). Why oh why did this only run for 14 episodes?! Someone at Fox should have been shot for making the cancellation call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 We've finished watching Star Trek: Enterprise, next up are Firefly (DVD), Star Trek: The Original Series (Blu-ray) or Game of Thrones (Blu-ray). All three are good shows (or so I've heard, I haven't seen any Firefly yet myself) so we'll have to see what we feel like (when my boyfriend's here next, I want to watch it all with him so I won't start it on my own).

risingdawn Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I think I've watched some Stargate. Is that the TV show? I know there's one that gets repeated on the Sky channel and I've seen it. Couldn't really remember the name. I didn't mind the first Star Trek film. It was quite good. Absolutely love Spok! Was on World of Warcraft once and just shouted "I AM SPOK". Think people were like WTF?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) What is this spok you speak of? We've finished watching Star Trek: Enterprise, next up are Firefly (DVD), Star Trek: The Original Series (Blu-ray) or Game of Thrones (Blu-ray). All three are good shows (or so I've heard, I haven't seen any Firefly yet myself) so we'll have to see what we feel like (when my boyfriend's here next, I want to watch it all with him so I won't start it on my own). As Raven said, you can't really lose whichever you choose, Athena. For argument's sake, though, I'd personally go with Firefly first (14 eps, a movie, and you're done - although you'll undoubtedly wish there were more), then Star Trek TOS (or the first two seasons, anyway), and then Game of Thrones as - by the time you've watched the other two shows - the third season will probably be available as well Edited March 18, 2013 by Karsa Orlong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks for the advice, Raven and Karsa. Your reasoning makes sense, Karsa, I'll keep it in mind. I'll have to discuss it with my boyfriend to see what he feels like watching too, though if/when I have a particular preference he might not mind it. @ risingdawn I don't know if you mean Stargate or not, but I love that series. I own all versions, seasons and films on dvd, though I haven't yet seen Stargate Universe season two. I was watching those with my brother but he was in Switzerland for half a year (well, five months) so we haven't watched any more of it yet. I'll get around to it eventually XD. I have to say I prefer Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis over Stargate Universe. Universe is still good but the whole ship thing reminds me a bit of other tv shows, whereas the gates in SG-1 and Atlantis seemed more unique to me.
