    The best Star Trek series was Babylon 5, just like how the best Star Trek movie was Galaxy Quest.

    I thought the best Star Trek series is The Orvil?

    I couldn’t get into The Orville. Seemed rather presumptuous that you can apply human morals to aliens.

    It is a joke compared to the three mentioned. It's one series with a few shitty tv movies vs three whole franchises with multiple series, movies, books etc. that are all known by everyone, it's very much not the same.

    Just like water in Spanish: el água / las águas.

    That fucking hurt my eyes. Agua aguas, no tilde there.

    In Spanish is called tilde, in English you don't have a name for that so I use the Spanish name.

    This is only because spanish doesn't like repeating "a" sounds like la agua would have since it can create ambiguity in the sentence. If agua was la agua the words would probably eventually end up smushed together making lagua instead.

    Other romance languages have words that really change gender tho. I think Italian and Romanian do. Arguably they are neuter but have in singular masculine endings and in plural feminine or was it the other way around

    I'm pretty sure Stargate is a slur when used this way.

    The split is hard sci-fi / sci-fi fantasy.

    I have always seen the soft/hard sci-fi as a sliding scale. I imagine it is like the mohs scale for minerals with diamonds as a 10.

    Stuff like 2001 A Space Odyssey is a solid 10 until after HAL is shutdown and even with the bizarre ending it is fully in the "sufficiently advanced tech is indistinguishable from magic" and still something like 8.5-9

    Star Trek is pretty good about being internally consistent and having day to day stuff be pretty grounded but there is so much purely nonsense trecknobable that I only consider it a 6 out of 10.

    Very different story and world but I would rate Stargate about the same. Maybe actually a bit higher. Mostly because it is a newer series that was better able to track its own weird stuff it had claimed and keep it consistent.

    Star Wars something like 4.5. still gets ok because of mostly internal consistency but definitely leans strongly the fantasy elements that are mixed in.

    As much as I like ragging on some Star Trek series, at least they're not Stargate series.

    Stargate had this thing where they pretended to be extremely serious but in reality they were about as serious as their spiritual predecessors Sliders and Quantum Leap.

    I guess you haven't watched SG then. They are just at the right level of taking themselves seriously and taking the piss.

    Some episodes are very serious, others are pure silliness.

    I mean, they had some pretty serious moments. But the villains were cartoonishly villainous.

    Oh he absolutely is. But when it comes to a competition of who channels classic moustache twirling hijinx the best, I think Apophis takes the cake.

    It has to be so much fun to be an actor playing a Goa'uld. Forget subtlety, canonically your character is truly irredeemably evil by nature, born with the memories of a thousand Hitlers. As an actor, you just get to let it all out and let the evil freak flag fly. I bet Peter Williams had an absolute blast.

    Of the four "Star" franchises: Wars, Trek, -gate, and Search, "-gate" is easily my third favorite.
