I watched it as being Stargate in name only, and on its own I think it was an entertaining show. What brought it home to me was that they were trapped on a ship jumping to random worlds. I thought that was an amazing framing device.

I agree it's better than star trek. Even universe.

Don't agree about TLJ, the prequel trilogy is just too ridiculous not to love, but I agree about rogue one. It was dull in all regards, color palette, characterization, erso's backstory and motivation...Im still confused by it's popularity. But I guess a lot more people than I realized actually don't like the Jedi. Which...then why watch star wars?

John Carter is such a fun romp, I think it really captured the spirit of old scifi, where things were a little silly compared to today bc they were really just flying by the seat of their pants imagining space travel and other planets. It was a real melding of scifi/fantasy. Today, we've seen pictures of the surfaces of those planets, and now current scifi is more like reading a thesis (nothing wrong with that), where the author really delves into the science, so the old stuff does seem corny. But it's great. It's like Jupiter ascending but good

This does apply to me. Eccleston was my first and always will be my fav, can't beat the leather jacket. I should give the newer docs a chance, didn't make it through smiths run. And watch classic who too at some point!

Thanks for this. I've recently gotten back into interactive fiction, and I'm sure I'll play these all... Eventually

I can understand why it wasn't very popular, it was definitely less epic in scope than the others. But I felt like it was more consistent, there weren't any episodes I wanted to skip. Also I like Kaz's loveable goof character type more than Ezra's antisocial self. He had reasons to be like that but he made it hard for me to get through rebels.

I actually like star wars resistance. There I said it.

I've known about mastodon, but had never been a fan of microblogging...but I found out about kbin.social on a subreddit and I like the fediverse a whole lot more already. This should have been how social media was from the start, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it grows!
