It is good to have friends, is it not, Mr. Garibaldi? Even if maybe only for a little while?

Now, I go to spread happiness to the rest of ~~the station~~ lemmy. It is a terrible responsibility but I have learned to live with it.
Mr. Garibaldi
I can’t help but hear this in his voice
Ah, Meestah Garibaldi!
I am 100% on board for B5 characters lying in wait to jump out among the trek memes.
Yeah. Can we make this an official tradition?
I'll do my best to throw one in every now and then.
AND SO IT BEGINS
It's from Babylon 5, for anybody coming to the comments and wasn't familiar with what show this is from.
Every sci fi fan should watch it! Season one is a little rough but boy does it get good. Season four is arguably the best sci fi season ever.
Bab5 is the best scifi tv show of all time. Some people would say that The Expanse is just as good or better, I don't know.
B5, DS9 and the expanse are all pretty much tied for me
M'star trek peeps, is the show worth watching? I've never seen it, and I've heard mixed reviews.
100% worth it. With the caveat that the effects aren't good. The story and characters more than make up for it though.
Maya did what it could. The effects were amazing for a TV series at the time.
The cgi was done on Amigas IIRC
100%
S1 is rough, but it really picks up right out of the gate in S2. The last season is halfway to a different show, it's skippable. Crusader is fine, too; it's not great, but I don't regret watching it.
Oh my god yes. I’m surprised you’re not watching it now. There’s a good amount of 90s camp and cheese, but the bones are very, very solid.
It's widely considered the most contiguous SciFi series out there. The director started with 5 years of scripts and changed very little during production, other than losing the main character between seasons 2 and 3, due to medical complications. I personally consider Bab 5 to be as good, if not better than both Firefly and Farscape.
Between one and two. Even crazier, though - he knew actors sometimes left shows so he wrote in a “trapdoor” and replacement character so that he could sub out someone with a new character without losing a step.
And it worked out super well too, arguably Sheridan was superb and having Sinclair become valen just works.
In the past year it was released in 4K. As others have said, the effects are not great, but growing up in that era, it felt a little nostalgic.
I was pretty hooked on it for a while. I got kinda burned out on the last season. It’s not that it wasn’t good, I just binged it too hard.

Londo my beloved
It's cheesy and cheap and often very manichaean. Yet, it's very interesting and got me hooked to an extent that nothing on the Star Trek universe managed to.

Is The Orville worth it?
Yeah it’s kind of like the spiritual successor to 90s trek with family guy humor sprinkled in. I did not watch season 3 yet, but I heard it was great!!
Much of season one is outright bad. The remaining seasons are really good.
This is great, I lovev Star Wars
I, also, love Battlestar Galactica.
But that's a different franchise. Battlestar Galactica is the one with the robots everyone calls "toasters" but they can only say "exterminate" and can't walk stairs except in the later seasons.
I, too, love Battlestar Galactica
I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar.
I have a bad feeling about this
you always say that, you always say I have a bad feeling about this (drop)
Isn't that from the Star Trek song everybody hates?
It's not that bad I actually liked it
You moon-faced assassin of joy
Poor Vir. Londo treats him so poorly.
I actually watched it for the first time recently and quite enjoyed it. Lots of interesting characters and story. Like already mentioned the CGI is really bad. I wish they stuck with models rather than early 3D effects. Season 5 and the end of 4 feel a bit underwhelming after the main threat is resolved sometime in the middle of the penultimate season.
That’s exactly where I stopped watching. They had this major plot line resolved and then it just stuck around with nothing to do.
As an FYI, they didn't expect to get renewed for S5 so the end of S4 was originally supposed to be the series finale. Then they had to come up with a new one
Thanks! That makes total sense.
Post psi corps memes.
Psi Corp and techno mage are fantastic creations in that universe.
With holo decks everything is in universe. This could just be a holodrama.
Slap a portable holo emitter on Mr. Garibaldi post haste!
I'm fed up with your fabrications, Mollari!
Gods, Vir!
I can hear this meme
