The overall story wasn't great, the character arcs were rather poor. Individual episodes were fun tho, I can't take that way from them. But an intellectual show it was not. What is was, was good entertainment for the sake of entertainment.

I am sorry to hear you still have not recovered from that massive head injury, and also have no taste.

less specific to the CIA but american intelligence and security services generally (deathsquads etc) loving suck anywhere people don't speak english and are totally useless if they can't find mobsters who accept dollar bribes. neither of those apply inside the us so they can be pretty effective there

My sci-fi TV opinions:

Farscape started out okay, became brilliant, but completely collapsed in its (nonexistent) fourth season, but the finale was great, and also there is no such thing as Peacekeeper Wars.

Stargate SG-1, in spite of being blatant Air Force propaganda, is stupid fun, and that's definitely a compliment. I enjoyed what I saw of Atlantis too, but the magic wasn't really there.

TOS and DS9 are the best Trek TV series. Improvised Star Trek is the best Star Trek series, period. About a third of TNG is still watchable (but that third is some fantastic television). Voyager occasionally aspired to the lofty heights of competence. I've heard tell that Enterprise eventually became watchable but I suspect this opinion is the result of dementia brought on by exposure to episodes of Enterprise. I saw the first half of the first season of Discovery and liked it well enough but haven't seen anything else. Cautiously optimistic about the Picard series.

Babylon 5 has tremendous historical importance but I think it's watchable exactly once. Also J. Michael Straczynski wrote that abominable "Doom sheds a tear for the victims of 9/11" comic, a feat of writing bad enough to retroactively poison anything else he ever worked on before or since. Wrap it up, Babylailures.

Nu-Battlestar Galactica is mostly excellent. Old-Battlestar Galactica is tremendous fun, especially the two-parter where the Space Devil shows up.

The Expanse is great.

I'm completely 100% serious about Improvised Star Trek.

Deval Patrick has never been accused of rape

You might be thinking of his former brother-in-law who was recently convicted of raping his ex-wife, Patrick's sister

Its also about teamwork, listening to others,being emotionally supportive, and acknowledging when you're wrong. How many shows now rely on tension because people refuse to talk to each other? Compare that to old trek . Calling it neoliberal isn't right, because neoliberal would just be a bunch of people backstabbing each other to rise up the ranks and telling the captain he's great despite him loving up constantly.

Bab5 has the best story and worst acting but great battle scenes
Farscape has the best acting all around , zany creatures, fun poo poo, and the greatest villain in tv history

If anyone hasn't seen prisoner you need to , it's short and episodes like chimes of big Ben and schizoid man are incredible
