The Stargate guy is crying in a corner
- He is probably jealous of the Starship Troopers guy who got popular again because of Helldivers 2. The Firefly guy is probably playing a shooter arcade with his laser revolver and the Battlestar Galactica guy is piss out drunk.
  
  The Firefly guy is muttering "fucking Joss Whedon" under his breath
  
  Meanwhile people are looking at this guy going WTF?
- Farscape says what the frell?
  
  Moya is cooler than the rest of those ships combined
  She doesn't need to frell herself, she already bad a baby
- From all of them I'm only a fan of Stargate.
  There are dozens of us.
  I should rewatch sg1 again...
  
  I just feel terrible that you guys don't have the berth of content that star wars/star trek fans have. I should give stargate a try
  
  I'm trying to get my wife through the series.
  Daniel just died and she's pissed. Hates Jonas already just for being "not Daniel"
  I love seeing Stargate brought up in the wild
  
  Beware if Maybourne. He may steal your hotdog.
- seaQuest DSV: Let me in! Let me iiiiinnnn!!
- Stargate is the best "star-" franchise imho.
  
  I vaguely remember the movie, I liked the cool concept behind it, but i didn't watch any of the shows
- Indeed.
- Naw he's off at RenFaire.

The only thing that comes close to the greatest sci-fi quote from those three franchises is Luthen’s speech in Andor, otherwise this one from G’kar in B5 is one of the greatest bits of prose in sci-fi:
It was the end of the Earth year 2260, and the war had paused, suddenly and unexpectedly. All around us, it was as if the universe were holding its breath…waiting. All of life can be broken down into moments of transition, or moments…of revelation. This had the feeling of both. […] G'Quan wrote, "There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope. The death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender." The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born…in pain.
- G'kar and Londo absolutely made B5. The most interesting character arcs, probably the most fleshed-out characters, and Katsulas and Jurasic stole the show with their acting. All the hardships G'kar suffered and the philosophical outlook he kept despite the anger he had to deal with, Londo's moments of self-awareness, yet he remained trapped by culture and politics... Their interaction and introspection on screen was something I always looked forward to. I need to go watch that series again.
  Edit: Just started watching the series again. I don't know why I didn't remember, but the writers really started off painting the Narn as the plotting and scheming baddies. Funny how that changed over the course of the series.
  
  I'm only at the start of S5. Man, I hated Londo for so long. I wouldn't say he's redeemed himself, but at least he's a better person now.
- G'Kar is one of the greatest sci-fi characters I have ever seen. Andreas Katsulas did an amazing job with the character's amazing writing. G'Kar has so many amazing quotes, and every word he speaks is so very poetic. This one is my personal favorites.

- Greatest sci-fi quote: Victory tastes like ashes

Fuck that, I'm into all of them, plus Battlestar Galactica.
Ain't nobody paying me to not enjoy good sci-fi/sci-fantasy
- I’ve seen them all and I need more space adventures dammit!

The avalanche has already started, it is to late for the pebbles to vote.

MFW I show up in proper obscure cosplay

I love all of them. And Stargate.

And of Avenue 5. That show was cancelled in its prime :'(
- Judd you gurning haemorrhoid!

It’s okay because we are all Kosh

Everybody's dead, Dave...

What is up with Star Trek memes on Lemmy anyway? I blocked like 5 communities already but they keep popping up all the time. It's a show my Dad watched as a young adult and he is almost retired, that's how old this shit is.
- Star Trek has like 3 or 4 active shows right now. Also never could get into the 60s one but The Next Generation, DS9, and Lower Decks are all fucking awesome and I can recommend them to anybody that appreciates social commentary and great acting.
- Oh noooo it’s old no-one should like stuff that’s old only new things are cool
  You know, one day the stuff you like will be old too.
  Also, Star Trek been around a long time, yeah, but it’s still going with new content.
- Star Trek is not dead.
- Nobody answered you, but there was a conflict with reddit and Star Trek mods several years ago and so a large group of fans came here much before last June. They’re just better established than other groups.
  
  Also if I made something with "federation" I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of Trek nerds showed up
  
  I still wonder if it's just so many old people ("old" in my perception aka idk 45+) on lemmy compared to reddit or if more younger people watch trek than I thought. I know 0 people in my age bracket watching it but have several senior colleagues being fans but might be just my case.
