Ok, was considering binge-watching the Stargate SG-1 series. Watched the pilot and...I don't know. Not sure I'm prepared to go all in with it. Any opinions yea or nay would be welcome.
Rewatched an Outer Limits episode the other day. A much darker prototype for Back to the Future. Just a terrific story and Martin Landau is incredible.
Embarrassing to admit, so many of the classics I see on other folks list, like Babylon 5 and Stargate, are shows I haven't seen ... "yet" ... I think I'll start the Stargate journey first, then move to Babylon 5. 🙏🙌
@riversidebryan@jcrabapple Nothing to be embarrassed about. B5 was hard to watch when it was on; kept getting moved around; and largely written by one of the people involved in Sense8 (another show I really enjoyed). I’ve never seen the Stargate series either, and the ten seasons commitment keeps making me put it off a bit more. Either way, I hope you enjoy them.
I'm rewatching The Nevers. Laura Donnelly is riviting to watch. The episode with Claudia Black is amazing. S01E06
It you are a fan of her from #Farscape you will appreciate her role as an old soldier. I'm a fan from #SG-1, and she still has a wry sense of humor in her delivery of lines. #SciFiTV https://m.imdb.com/title/tt10266912/?ref_=ttep_ep6

I don't know how others can get it. Amazon Prime only has episodes 1-6.
6-12 aren't as good, but still interesting.
One of the themes is hope.
How do we make the world a better place?
Who fights against it? .
Women & marginalized people are in the forefront of the fight against the ruling class aka Rich white men.
What I like is that it's not all fighting.
There's smart dialog!
They use the law!
They use the connections between "The Touched" & the ruling men to get change.
Man from Atlantis (1977) was the first of four successful TV-movies, to be followed by an unsuccessful series. It's a reasonably interesting story about a water-breathing man from Atlantis stuck in the modern world. Features a fine mad scientist.
@d4doome I would probably be horrified if I rewatched it now from an adult perspective. Lots of TV and comics I loved as a kid ran only for a season or a few months. But in my child’s mind they went on for ages. Many of them were probably ended quickly for a good reason. I loved them as a kid anyway.
@MarkMaguire I watch an enormous amount of 1960s/1970s TV shows and I'm usually pleasantly surprised by how well they stand up. They're certainly better than anything made today. They're just more fun and more stylish.
