I'm watching this for the first time and HOLY SHIT is it uneven.

I missed a bunch of season 3 eps (R watches a bunch without me), and the first thing I came back to was Sorbo saying, "Mythology? It's all Greek to me."

There was a lot going on there.

I remember liking it when I was younger.

Is is streaming somewhere?

It’s all on Amazon Prime.

Like, it’ll have an AMAZING episode followed by two episodes of bland, pointless drama and Sorbo closeups

So I finally finished season 5, wtf

8/6/2018 8:04:47 AM

I'll have to add it to my watchlist. I remember it being pretty hard on the camp, at least in S1 and 2.

S1 and 2 were a bit campy but fun and with an overarching story. After that... ouch.

I still watched it because I was invested though

8/6/2018 12:44:29 PM

3 seasons of ouch? That's...not a glowing recommendation.

8/6/2018 2:46:56 PM

Well, it just got *very* campy and melodramatic and had more Sorbo closeups and I'm confused about all the Jesus imagery

8/6/2018 7:43:50 PM

Kevin Sorbo isn't Jesus?

Why waste your time on this? If you want to watch great 20yo sci-fi television then you should be watching Babylon 5 or Farscape. The former because it was so far ahead of its time in terms of telling a coherent multi-year story arc that was plotted out from the beginning. It may seem like a quaint concept in 2018 that you need to see every episode of a television series in order but back then it was practically unheard of in an era of mediocre episodic sci-fi. The latter just wins purely on humor and lightness.

Farscape is my shit, I own the series and rewatch every few years. Babylon 5 has always been on my Amazon watchlist, but I've never gotten to it.

I just remember being entertained by Andromeda back when I was younger. Probably because it was Sam Rami/Evil Dead adjacent because of Sorbo...

Update: This thread put the Farscape bug back in my head, been binging that over the past few days.

8/27/2018 8:11:12 AM

i'll never forgive farscape for turning stargate into shit

8/27/2018 8:16:34 AM

How was it Farscapes fault? Stargate started getting shitty when Jackson got replaced with Jonas for a bit and then went to hell when O'Neill left

Having watched B5 and Farscape it was Anndromeda’s turn!
