    This is the worst answer because it is a really fine crew. But I love it so much!

    I thought I was doing pretty well at watching through all the popular old sci-fi shows, but literally none of these are familiar to me...

    1 is Space 1999, 2 is Red Dwarf and 5 is Event Horizon, honestly the other 2 stumped me too

  • I really want to say I know #3, but I have no clue.

    #4 is The Last Starfighter - it's raw hero's-journey fantasy if there ever was one. It's ridiculous.

    Event Horizon

    I totally forgot. That threw me for a loop since the costume, lighting, and set design are dripping-wet with inspiration from Alien.

    That would be SG Universe. Atlantis is more like a not-quite-as-good Stargate version of DS9.

    DS9 but it’s always running out of batteries and might collapse anytime

    Nah. I feel like SGU was the Enterprise of Star Gate. They had a great premise and good actors, but the writing kept trying to make the show different from its initial concept.

    Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Species 8472 fleet. She is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else.

    • 8472 Boothby to any human foolish enough to travel to fluidic space.

    I'm more of a 'there were only the movies, no series' guy.

    Thanks!

    I only just started watching Lexx (free on Fawesome), movies 1 & 2. What's the issue with the series?

    Well, lexx is trashy to begin with but the series just really sucks in comparison.

    But go ahead, feel free to explore. In my opinions it's one of the things that makes the former worse by existing.

    Huh; I never realized there were movies. Only knew (and watched part) of the series.

    That's fair to think there was only a series because after the movies were done and the series came out they cut the movies into series length episodes too (now the movies are season 1 - I don't know if that was the plan from the beginning).

    Maybe some countries then also only got that format. Anyhow the movies were the ones with Eva Habermanm as Zev, so thats how you can easily distinguish them.

    Since the movies were produced in part with German involvement we got them long before the series in our TV (I think it was the channel vox) and at that time it was something to look forward to as a scifi fan.

    Sort of. Season 1 was always intended to be a miniseries. The plan was to use the miniseries to get a series greenlit. I'm not aware of them being chopped up into 45 minute episodes but that sounds horrible and I hope it's not true.

  • Hyperdrive was a fun romp. I wonder if it was, in any way, a prototype for The Orville? Maybe that's just a coincidence.

    Easily my favorite moment was when one crew-member figured out an alternate use for the discipline/re-education chamber.

    How the crew manages to consistently screw things up, then screw them up again harder, will always make me laugh.

    I know I’m gonna get made fun of but that’s Nick Frost, right? What is that?

    Never mind. “Hyperdrive”. Looks like I can watch it on Amazon prime. I know what I’m doing this weekend. lol.

    Yes, that's the one. Used to be on BBC iPlayer (in the UK), but looks like it's not available any more.

    It was generally compared a little unfairly to Red Dwarf (which was in the middle of a 10 year gap at the time).

    It might be fair to say it wasn't solidly funny all the way through, and maybe took a few episodes to "get going" but it definitely had some good bits and great ideas here and there.

    I really liked it, and felt it deserved more than 12 episodes.
