I'll add Voyager to that trek list.

And +1 for BSG, I've always loved the show. I actually just watched the first two episodes again this past week, but for the first time I decided to smoke some weed first.

Holy shit I get WAY more into the show when I'm baked... Like I was trying not to cry when the 60 FTL capable ships left the other 20ish behind and they focused on the little girl playing with her bear as the nukes detonated...

And hearing everyone go from a solemn, muttered "so say we all..." to a strong, purposeful "SO SAY WE ALL!"

I really like the bits of the Expanse I've seen. I absolutely love how realistic they portray space life, especially combat. After a few episodes I realized it was one long continued story, and the series was still being worked on, I lost all drive to finish it.

I'll pick it back up eventually, it just feels like sitting down to watch a 200 hour movie, rather than a TV show.

Yeah the expanse book series is apparently three duologies and a trilogy.

But that mindset helped me frame the story better.

Expanse

+1 for Voyager. I’m almost finished a watch through now and I’m kicking myself for not watching it as a kid. I watched so many reruns of TNG and DS9 after school but somehow missed Voyager.

And The Expanse is well worth the watch. The books are phenomenal and some of the best books I’ve read in a long time.

You’re so lucky. I had to both wait for each of these to debut, but also for a WEEK for each new ep! For ALL of these series!

All of which I now have on my Plex server, and frequently binge, lol!

Bro Stargate SG1. it really hits its stride in Season 4. 10 freaking seasons, babayyy

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I started my... 5th rewatch last week.

They really don't make shows like they used to.

The episode where jack and teal'c switched bodies and the actors had to impersonate each other hits hard.

[–] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

2 solid spin offs, and a small handful of extended universe content as well

[–] jackintosh@feddit.nl 4 points 1 week ago

And several movies to tie up storylines!

[–] jackintosh@feddit.nl 4 points 1 week ago

Yes, but my god they put the dvd releases straight to Netflix in all its pixelated glory. No HD remaster like STTNG unfortunately…

But... nothing happens.

It was too slow for my taste

Waiting for new seasons back then was exhausting.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

It was so worth it though. The writing was superb with seemingly throwaway plot points coming back years later in full force. It may have taken years to write but the pacing and story was nearly perfect every season.

[–] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The original BBC radio version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is absolutely incredible. It's a radio play read by Douglas Adams, so its a step up from a normal audio book and they do a fantastic job on all the voice acting, sound effects and music. This isnt an adaptation either - the series started as a radio sitcom, and was adapted into books, TV, movies, etc.

Why does the headphone only has one ear and why does the cable not connect to the side of the phone and instead goes in front of the screen?

I binged both Parks and Rec and Community after they were finished.

Game of Thrones had finished all but their last season when I started. (Perfect up until the last season.)

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 1 week ago

I recently started watching The Blacklist. It's totally silly, but it's worth it just to watch a couple of James Spader monologues every episode. They're silly, too, but he's so fucking fun to watch.

The Americans was an amazing show that many people missed. Right up there with Breaking Bad, The Wire, Sopranos, Deadwood, etc.

Also Star Trek: Next Generation, ST: Deep Space 9, ST: Voyager, ST: Strange New Worlds. Star Trek: The Original Series is super campy and fun, but it's not great, but it is is great.

ST:Enterprise, and ST: Discovery suck.

Also Twilight Zone.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Midsomer Murders, Poirot, Murder She Wrote.

The greatest though is Columbo. 13 seasons with 6 to 10 movie length slow burn episodes. Fucking incredible acting and writing.
