Search and Destroy the previous generation of sci-fi tv shows (Farscape, Lexx, Andromeda, StarGate SG1, Babylon 5, Space Precinct, various Star Trek shows and more)

If Game Of Thrones was on tv in the 90s, Jon Snow would have had a furry wisecracking sidekick called Queequar and there would have been more scenes of people laughing (especially men with beards) and dancing around a fire to quaintly merry music (all 80s-90s films set in medieval Europe have these scenes, I'm sure you could make a long compilation of them).

This is basically The Witcher

Haha, I only seen the first episode.

Never cared for the Star Trek uniform. Deanna Troi is the only one who got to dress nice.

i remember it fondly but i bought the dvds and it was slightly disappointing on a rewatch. i'll try again.

will certainly watch Firefly again (not sure that's last generation enough for this thread)

and space 1999 holds up well, the first season certainly. forcesTV showed it recently, along with UFO (is currently showing dukes of hazzard and V the series)

I really liked Space Above and Beyond at the time, no idea how it holds up. I remember watching it on a double-bill with the similarly short-lived Nowhere Man. There was some initial hype as the showrunners were two of the best X-Files writers, but that must have died down quickly. It's a shame Kristen Cloke only ever seems to act in things her husband is directly involved in....

LOL@ Space Precinct, dear god

There's an episode of TNG where an admiral takes over the ship and tells Deanna to fix her uniform to the standard.

Wasn't there someone else? Oh, had to look it up, Xenia Seeberg.

lol milo

xp the episode where Dick Jones from Robocop take over the enterprise, classic!

Lexx was a really weird show.

Right. Who was that guy from Renaissance Italy?

Amazing that some of this goes back into the early 80s

“The amount of whump in that movie was delicious!“

“I heard there was a lot of whump in this show.”

I didn't know that 'Poochinski', as referenced in the Wormhole X-Treme episode of Stargate SG-1, was apparently a real pilot for a show that inexplicably never got made.

Not as funny as I would have hoped but I'm still glad it exists somehow.

Yeah sorry, it wasn't supposed to be a recommendation as such ;-)
