star trek basically hangs on the viewer not actually thinking about what's going on, because once you do, the whole thing falls apart and doesn't make any sense.

i didn't even find out that there WAS a voiceover weeks later on most of the other cuts because the studio thought people were too dumb to understand the movie :psyduck:

i always thought the voiceover people were referring to was commander adamas, so i thought i was seeing the mythical lost cut

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM THE FOUNDATION TRILOGY INTO MY EYEBALLS. ITS ASIMOV AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I START DOING THE MOVES ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, SELDON. I DO EVERY MOVE AND I DO EVERY MOVE HARD. MAKIN SQUEAKING SOUNDS WHEN I WHEEL OUT OF THE TIME CAPSULE AND TELL THE FOUNDATIONISTS ABOUT THE CRISIS THEY JUST HAD. NOT MANY CAN SAY THEY CONTROL THE FUTURE WITH ALGEBRA. I CAN. I SAY IT AND I SAY IT OUTLOUD EVERYDAY TO PEOPLE IN MY COLLEGE CLASS AND ALL THEY DO IS PROVE PEOPLE IN COLLEGE CLASS CAN STILL BE IMMATURE JERKS. AND IVE LEARNED ALL THE LINES AND IVE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MYSELF AND MY APARTMENT LESS LONELY BY SHOUTING EM ALL. 7 HOURS INCLUDING WIND DOWN EVERY MORNING. THEN I LIFT.

seldon isn't the main character of the foundation trilogy though, he isn't really even in it, he's the main character in prelude to foundation though which is also a good book

yeah and the first chapter of foundation was added after the rest was written, kind of gluing the short stories together. lookit how much i know about foundation

naw that's alright. but it always irked me how earth was some mystical world that *gasp* had only one moon.

like in the entire universe there isn't a single planet out there that only has one moon. not one.

Inverse Icarus posted:

one of the best babylon 5 episodes ever followed two repair dudes just talkin' about their lives and fixing poo poo while the station was under some horrible generic attack. the main characters are shown in the backgrounds doing whatever they'd be doing and the two mooks are the center of attention the whole time. at one point they are directly addressed by one of the main female cast members for their service, and the other ones kind of roll their eyes and mutter something about "why bother talking to them?!" but the mooks are extremely happy to be noticed.

best part of that ep: one of them is using some hover vacuum device and asks 'what the hell does this thing even do? it's not like it's cleaning the floor or anything.'

i still can't believe you haven't watched babylon 5. ignore the nerd sperg over 1990's cgi - it is the only sci-fi series to take care about its plot devices for 5 straight seasons.

No, just the first four, which are enjoyable if rather hamfisted at times. The fifth season and everything else B5 related is crap.

Luckily the actual story is done at the end of season four, so you're not left hanging or something.

yeah, agreed, but at least it was internally consistent. and you can't blame them. they were told they weren't getting a fifth season, so they wrapped up everything in four

edit: you do get character arc conclusion in season five, at least

this is also a great commentary. it's the entire thing but it's completely worth watching if you are a star trek nerd, just frakes and sirtis shooting the poo poo

Troi's character would have been 1000% better if it was just Marina Sirtis acting like this.

overall solid ripoff of star dreck deep space twelve :unsmigghh:
noooooo trap sprung i guess. paramount was given the whole b5 plot / bible / character roster and passed on it. then right as it finally premieres they're like 'check it out! a deep space station called ds9!' and it's a complete ripoff.

you can check all the similarities, but my favorite is that b5 originally had a shapeshifter character but strazynski was like 'nahhh that poo poo is lame.'
