Back home after a long, fun trip.

Just starting season 4, aka the good part!

Hang on. Its going to be a ride.

Who are you?
What do you want?

My favorite part is when Sisko uses the While Star to fight off the Klingons who've been infiltrated by the Shadows.

I like how the Vorlons are just Vulcans playing a practical joke on the humans.

So, B5 Crusade. Worth watching or not?

It was very different. Ship based. Had a lot of tie ins to B5. On the positive they were on what might have been sconsidered one of the most powerful ships in Galactic history...

I need to find somewhere to watch Crusade online. I've seen a few episodes of it but not the whole series, short lived as it was. So worth mentioning that one of the B5 movies ties into it.

That was Call To Arms, wasn't it? Basically setting up the B5 universe for Gideon and his crew.
I thought that first season was ok but not outstanding. It would have been nice to see where JMS wanted to go with the series; shame he never got the backing he deseved.

Agreed on all points.

OK, tip 1 for watching DS9, skip any Dax-centered episodes.

Terry Farrel is easy on the eyes but so far all the episodes where she took center stage have sucked. Bad science, bad sociology, and well... she ain't that great an actress.

Even the lesbian love episode is just painful to watch.

I mean the whole premise is that Dax cannot be wtih her former wife because it is taboo to associate with friends from previous hosts. Punishable by exile! OK, fine.

Except she's serving under her best friend from a past host!

Oh and Defiant, which has no science labs and is a pure warship... is doing science again.

Sigh...

Hopefully they'll shoot something next episode.

She's part of an episode with three klingon captains. Its a must watch!

Yeah but I count that as a Klingon episode not a Dax one.

Just don't miss it.

So after 3 seasons of 'O'Brian must suffer!' with season 4 the motto seems to be 'Worf must suffer!'

So he gets exiled by the Klingons, his whole house dishonored.

Then his brother shows up, asking to be killed to restore his honor.

Then he's accused of massacring hundreds of civilians.

But O'Brian gets to suffer too. Tonight's episode has O'Brian imprisoned by aliens who implant the memories of 30 years of prison in his mind and then let him go with all the trauma.

Fun, fun, fun.

Yup.

He knows it wasn't a real sentence, but those memories are still real to him and will haunt him for some time to come.

Besides, O'Brien gets tortured by Keiko often enough.
(Married man joke. )

Oh sweet Space Emperor...

After an awesome episode where the Defiant takes on a fleet of Klingons in the mirror universe (so we get dominatrix Kira, pirate Bashir and all the other fun twists) now I have the one-two punch of suck.

An episode spotlighting Luxanna Troi AND Jake Sisko.

Sometimes we must pay the price for our little pleasures.

I always wondered how the annoying characters stay alive...

Has war broken out yet?

We had a quick Federation-Klingon war, I think the Dominion War starts with the end of Season 4.

Ah, those Klingons. They need a good smack down now and then to keep them in line.

Has the human race ever created anything with more pure geeky joy than Trials and Tribble-ations?

No.

No one ever has.

Yes, definately a fan favorite. I see Sisko's hair has finished it's migration from the top of his head to the bottom of his face. That's a good sign.

5th season has been a bit uneven. It starts with a roar, a Dominion invasion of the Alpha Quadrant, a renewed alliance with the Klingons, lots of cool stuff.

And then... well we get an Odo relationship episode, then a Ferengi love story, and it's like guys, the war? You remember the war? Right?

But there are some gems, we learn Bashir's dark secret. And it's rather well done, it seems totally foreshadowed but really the writers made it up on the spot. The actor was pissed when they told him too.

I really didn't like that actually. After that (if we're talking about the same thing) Bashir becomes this annoying super-doctor with special powers.

I need to keep watching past the first season

OT i stopped watching Babylon 5 when the brain slugs happened.

Watched most of the miniseries premier again of BSG with some rum and popcorn. I still contend Season 1 is some of the best TV sci fi ever.

Oh does he? Yuk.

I finally reached the point where I'm seeing episodes I never saw the first time so my foreknowledge is a bit limited. I know the big stuff, Dax dies (SPOILER!) but comes back as a pixie but not so much the details.

Best. Show. Ever. ....period.

Had to go BSG when I found to my horror my Father's Day presnt of Predators blu ray doesn't work on a normal DVD. Will have to wait until I get back to Austin to watch it, covered with wiener dogs.

Sigh...

So we're in the Gamma Quadrant where the incredibly powerful and well armed Dominion have vowed to kill us all.

Hey look! There's a planet with a weird energy field! Let's go check it out!

Sigh...

Now as it happens the planet is kind of cool and has a good concept behind it but couldn't you at least TRY and find a better hook?
