which star trek spinoffs did you miss? ds9 is the last good one imo
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:05 (eleven years ago) link
i've just never watched entire runs of any star trek other than the original. i could go for ds9. i just don't want to watch 400 episodes of next gen or anything.

you should
start with season 3

if you're considering manga SF, you might try FLCL or Monster

Farscape always looks too much DragonCon sexytime for me.
― Lewis Apparition (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 18:47 (eleven years ago) link
Farscape is good. Gets a bit crap in the middle but it's really meaty, storywise. That and DS9 prolly my all-time favorite sci-fi series.

I think I spent an hour of Merlin marveling at how much better it was than I expected it to be before admitting to myself that I still hated it

I like The Guild a lot but it's mostly because half of it is WoW guild in-jokes, I have no idea how it would come across to someone who hasn't spent a lot of time in that environment
― Victory Chainsaw! (DJP), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 19:13 (eleven years ago) link
i think the guild is basically low budget "community".

ha that is scarily OTM
― Victory Chainsaw! (DJP), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 20:23 (eleven years ago) link
I tried watching The Guild. I got exactly as far as the woman neglecting her kids for World Of Warcraft before I decided that, while that may be an accurate portrayal, these are not people I want to spend any time with.
Scott: watch the Dr. Who revival! It is THE BEST. Even when it's terrible.

oh that's a good call

Also, both seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic are on there.

I was so happy about that because I could clear them off of my DVR -- but then it just gets filled with Max and Ruby episodes, and that show is so much worse.

Max is a sociopath a la Macauley Culkin in the Good Son, yet somehow his antics are supposed to be cute?

Sociopaths are ADORABLE.
― Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 20:52 (eleven years ago) link
Also, now that the entirety of the original G.I. Joe animated series is on there, you all have to watch the "Cold Slither" episode. Trust me on this. It is delightfully insane.

"Shut Up Little Man", which made me kind of nostalgic for those days of pre-YouTube underground obsessives trading tapes of prank calls and such.

I disagree, sir! It is totally worth watching, especially if you are into nihilistic exploitation with no redeeming social value whatsoever.

transformers 3 actually kind of rules, it's like someone edited everything that usually sucks about bay down to about 10 minutes of the real film rather than hours
― fauxmarc, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 12:22 (eleven years ago) link
Wait, so the movie is only 10 minutes long?! That's awesome, and attention-span appropriate, given its target demo.
