need another show....

Toucan · Unread post by **Toucan** » Thu May 08, 2008 7:11 am

well as my stargate marathon comes close to an end, i'm looking out for my next obsession

right now i'm on season 9 of sg1 and my worries about losing o'neill were immediatly removed by the arrival of valla
brilliant character
and cameron mitchell's not too shabby either

then it clicked. they were both in farscape (yes the actors, not the characters), which i've never seen
everything i read about it is good
reckon it's worth the investment?

Been thinking of watching Farscape myself. I watched half the first series when it was originally shown here, but with work shifts etc I ended up missing too many episodes and lost the plot (literally!)
So would be interesting to see how it all ended

As for other shows, hmm well I have been watching some Andromeda reruns lately..cheesey it might be but it's still marginally entertaining.

Heroes is worth a try.

Farscape is fantastic, I got hooked on it one summer years ago when SciFi channel did a "catch up from the beginning with one episode a day" marathon before the new season began.

Very unhappy when that show ended. Reuniting those two actors in Stargate was nice but makes me just miss Farscape more.

Also a lot of fun, though very short lived, is Firefly. At least it ends with a movie.

The Stargate straight to DVD movie isn't too bad either, another one due out soon.

Try the Ultimate Power Rangers Box set.

I adore Farscape

Do treat yourself and make sure you watch it from the beginning. I can't recommend it highly enough

Toucan · Unread post by **Toucan** » Thu May 08, 2008 5:40 pm

i've already got heroes and firefly!

Farscape was excellent, I also liked Andromeda. BTW the wife just got into Stargate, so we are in the process of buying the seasons, which there are 10 of, so you have one more to go. Oh and Atlantis isn't too shabby either.

asharin · Unread post by **asharin** » Fri May 09, 2008 7:05 am

Don't forget, to complete the Ori storyline, you'll need to watch Stargate: The Ark of Truth too

Stargate Atlantis is better than SG1 in my opinion, at least, after series 1 it is

Get the rest of Stargate Atlantis, trust me, it got a LOT better as it aged

As for babylon 5, Yes, the pilot and first series weren't the best, but the second series and the third, especially once the shadow war starts it ge's great.

Toucan · Unread post by **Toucan** » Fri May 09, 2008 6:12 pm

yeah atlantis 2 is in the post as we speak, as play.com has been selling all the stargtes for Â£17 a series

I've been watching a show named "Moonlight", it's about a Vampire P.I. Surprisingly good, even if it sounded tacky

Check out Family Guy if you like South Park. It is funny as hell. Very Irrevent though.

Have you tried Lost? Grey's Anatomy? House? Hells Kitchen? Everybody Loves Raymond? Eurotrip?
How about The Office?

Then watch Babylon 5..once you get past the first series it's great

(still kinda need to watch series 1 though as it has ties into later episodes)
Hrmm..I must get my dvd box set back off my bro, I feel like watching it now~!!
My favourite part, after the shadow war when B5 declares independence from earth and goes to war. Great stuff

my main gripe was the commander guy
he sounded like he was permenantly voicing trailers

Handily the commander changes after the first series. Sinclair goes off to be some Minbari Ambassador, and John Sheridan takes over...and as he killed a shedload of the Minbari in the Earth-Minbari war, they don't like it so much.. :p

I hated Sinclair also. Sheridan is much better. I own the complete set.

I paid Â£35 for seasons 1 - 5, not got any of the movies though I have seen them. Might get 'the lost tales' soon as it's the only one I haven't seen.
I was dissapointed that 'Crusade' was cancelled after only one season, as the storyline had barely started..and it was aired in the wrong order on TV!
