TheMongoose, to risa in DSC Season 5, LD Season 5, SNW Season 3.... GIVE IT TO ME NOW

Personally, I think the problem with Galactica nowadays is that the world is generally far more depressing than it was when the show came out. I can take dark and gritty, but it was more fun then. Now, I prefer something more lighthearted.

Like the flashback episode of SNW, where we saw Chapel and M'Benga during the Klingon War. My first though was "this is awesome, I could watch a whole show like that", but shortly afterwards, I realised "nope, that would be way too much, bring back Captain Daddy making jokes about how flipping the communicator open is better than tapping a commbadge.

Or maybe I'm just more of a miserable bastard than I was 20 years ago. IDK.

But hey, for any sci-fi fan, I'd certainly recommend at least watching the miniseries that kicks it all off. Get a feel for the characters and the universe they're in.

I've never watched Babylon 5. Everyone always raves about it, but I don't know if I could get past the extremely dated looking effects.

Plus there's so much new content coming out. I can't criticise anyone who doesn't want to watch older stuff, because who has the time to watch it all?

That being said... you have seen Firefly, right?

TheMongoose, to risa in Have you assholes never heard of Chain of Command?!?!

Do you wanna run this ship?

Yes

Well... you can't.

TheMongoose, to risa in Federation of Hold My Beer [Now with Narration!]

“So we were being chased by bad guys through a really explosive gas cloud nebula thing. Weapons were on the fritz and we couldn’t use shields because if the aforementioned nebula. So I ejected the warp core and blew it up, detonating the nebula and the bad guys while we just scraped out in the nick of time”

My god man, that’s actually impressive. How were you planning on getting back to literally anywhere else without a warp core?

“Ah well, I was only the acting captain at the time, so I figured that would be Picard’s problem when he got back…”

TheMongoose, to risa in Risa Quiz ... Who is this man

1.6 kilometeeeeeers!

"Oh, are you reading?"

... No, I've got headphones on and am staring at this Kindle because I want to have a conversation. Dick.

TheMongoose, to movies in Why is everything a sequel, reboot or remake?

we get another OP asking the same question that’s been asked countless times.

I mean, I did answer the question in the post. I'm just sad because people complain that we don't get enough new stuff, but when that new stuff comes out, they don't go and see it. I can't blame Hollywood for playing it safe, when it doesn't pay off when they don't.

TheMongoose, to memes in Clankers

So you're saying... only a clanker can call another clanker 'clanker'?

TheMongoose, to memes in Self Defense vs War Crimes

Christ, the Gammons would canonise Churchill if they could, and the man was a monster.

TheMongoose, to movies in Why is everything a sequel, reboot or remake?

And I say... is it too much to ask for both?

Look, I don't want to give the impression that I'm a film snob with my head up my ass or anything. I enjoy a good comic book movie, a mindless action film, all sorts of stuff. Hell, depending on what day you ask, I'd say Rogue One is the best Star Wars film (on the other days, it's Empire). Unpopular opinion - I think 2001 is overrated. It might be art, but I don't find it entertaining. And I agree with M500 - I loved San Andreas. It knew what it was, I could switch my brain off for a couple of hours and quietly snark at it with a friend. Good times.

I just don't want that to be all there is. And the more films like this fail to make hundreds of billions of dollars, the less the lawyers in charge of the studios are going to risk on them in the future. That's the tragedy for me.

TheMongoose, to starwarsmemes in What were we talking about again?

Ah yes, the Youngling Slayer 9000...
