  • That's just a guess as to one reason why these types of alien prosthetics are so immersion-breaking

  • G'Kar can't even turn his neck. Reminds me of how the Cardassian prosthetics pull me out of the realism and make me painfully aware that I am watching TV.

  • I think B5 is the one where the test pilot goes too fast and winds up on a big alien spaceship?

    That almost sounds like Farscape

  • I think Archer and his crew were the only ones who fought literal Nazis. Everyone else was fighting some other organization that had just adopted some of their philosophies.

  • That is something that has bugged me since I started watching sci-fi (yes, I am relatively new to the genre), and I don't think I have ever seen anybody talk about it.

  • I did not grab the character names when I had made this chart, but here is a list of Babylon 5 actors who appeared in Star Trek. Data sourced from IMDb

  • To be fair, while "truck stop" is a fairly accurate term for DS9 and its location along a major trade route, the primary purpose of Babylon 5 was really just being a neutral location for political relations and whatnot. Though maybe there are important meetings that are conducted at Waffle House, idk

  • It definitely blends action, drama, politics, and philosophy like Stat Trek does, but leans far more into drama/politics. I can understand why one might lose interest early on.

  • It's just a one-off film from 2023, not a series. And it is also not really a true "spinoff" like Crusade, as it does focus on the same main characters from the series, just during an unexplored time period that had been glossed over before the series finale.

    As for how enjoyable it is, I thought it was fine, but I am no film critic. Taken from Wikipedia:

    On Rotten Tomatoes it has a score of 83% based on reviews from 6 critics.[12] Tara Bennett of IGN Movies rated it 7 out of 10 and wrote: "J. Michael Straczynski’s script stridently wears its heart on its sleeve, which will likely land for nostalgic old-timers but play a little cloying for those without prior investment."[13] Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review wrote: "As stories go, The Road Home is pretty meh, standard sci-fi fare with a sappy, humanistic overlay."[14]

  • I don't have a stim problem. They're legal. I have it under control.

  • Obviously for bringing politics into a discussion about my beloved politics show

  • The Breen suit does? Or something about this meme in particular? I have barely played the game

  • I said what I said

  • Which came first, your username or your avatar?

  • The post-TOS Klingon redesign was a mistake.

  • Though I do like the matching pajamas

  • Sure, it's just that in the early days when we started getting more Lemmy apps than just Jerboa/Lemmur, Voyager tended to be on the forefront of adding new features not found in other apps. But nowadays, as the landscape of Lemmy apps has matured, Voyager has fallen behind as its philosophy seems to be stuck at "be a clone of Apollo". It is by no means a bad Lemmy app; it is just no longer at the same relative level compared to other competing Lemmy apps.

  • Wow, I cannot even find a setting to enable it. I used to have a very high opinion of Voyager, but I am finding recently that it is missing a lot of features.
