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

[-] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Ah, Meestah Garibaldi!

[-] Zink@programming.dev 33 points 1 year ago

I am 100% on board for B5 characters lying in wait to jump out among the trek memes.

[-] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Can we make this an official tradition?

[-] teft@startrek.website 12 points 1 year ago

I'll do my best to throw one in every now and then.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

AND SO IT BEGINS

[-] Dee@lemmings.world 21 points 1 year ago

It's from Babylon 5, for anybody coming to the comments and wasn't familiar with what show this is from.

[-] AngrilyEatingMuffins@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] djmarcone@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

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

This is great, I lovev Star Wars

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I, also, love Battlestar Galactica.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 18 points 1 year ago

M'star trek peeps, is the show worth watching? I've never seen it, and I've heard mixed reviews.

[-] teft@startrek.website 28 points 1 year ago

100% worth it. With the caveat that the effects aren't good. The story and characters more than make up for it though.

[-] djmarcone@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

The cgi was done on Amigas IIRC

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Maya did what it could. The effects were amazing for a TV series at the time.

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.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] djmarcone@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

And it worked out super well too, arguably Sheridan was superb and having Sinclair become valen just works.

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

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.

Y E S

Londo my beloved

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] teft@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

manichaean

I learned a new word today. Thanks!

[-] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Much of season one is outright bad. The remaining seasons are really good.

[-] quinkin@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

You moon-faced assassin of joy

[-] teft@startrek.website 12 points 1 year ago

Poor Vir. Londo treats him so poorly.

[-] b9chomps@beehaw.org 13 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That’s exactly where I stopped watching. They had this major plot line resolved and then it just stuck around with nothing to do.

[-] legios@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! That makes total sense.

[-] djmarcone@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Psi Corp and techno mage are fantastic creations in that universe.

[-] raffitz@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago

I'm fed up with your fabrications, Mollari!
