Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 1019 comments EEK! Loving those teams!! 😁😁😁

And although I'm not in my favourite tv show of all time (Babylon 5), the one I am in is a close second! πŸ’–

Seriously such a good show!

Love SG-1 too (I actually own a screen-accurate SG-1 costume! And I have a friend who has a screen-used Jaffa costume, complete with serpent head! πŸ˜†)

There are sooooooo many great shows on that list though!

Jenny | 2346 comments There are! But I have the best!!!!!
Original Star Trek. Accept no substitutes.


message 157: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 1019 comments There is actually only one that I don't like! (sorry Interstellar, but you boooooored me!)

Of course, Red Dwarf is very much missing from the line-up. I'm sure there should be laws against such a thing... πŸ˜‰


message 158: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments I have to admit to only having known like a 3rd of them originally, but it's because I'm not that into tv/movies/streaming especially when it comes to SciFi. Stargate had been among the few shows I used to watch and I loved. 😊

And while I knew of Babylon 5, I didn't watch it. (Maybe I'll give it a try! 😊)

Melindam | 4427 comments If anything is missing, either it was consciously, but mostly unconsciously done. (lack of proper knowledge) LOL

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 1019 comments We are very much a sci-fi household, so have seen most of them. Multiple times πŸ˜†

Did you see the SG-1 spin off shows? (I actually think Atlantis is even better than SG-1, but wasn't overly impressed with Universe)

I was aware of Atlantis, but haven't watched it. Didn't know about the other.


message 162: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 1019 comments Definitely recommend Atlantis! There is plenty of cross-over with characters from SG-1 too, but it's an awesome show in its own right. also where I first came across Jason Momoa πŸ˜‰

Loved Atlantis, but agree Universe wasn’t that good and I don’t think I stuck with it.

Based on a book you might want to check out as well or even before :-)

The Three-Body Problem

Wait... this one is your own fault for not watching the spin-offs! ;-)

The Three-Body Problem is a fantastic book.

Please direct your complaints at your Team Captain for that one. πŸ˜‰


message 172: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2346 comments Talk about cheese, does anyone remember Quark?


message 173: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 1019 comments She might have tried to erase that one from memory? It's a not entirely unheard of reaction to that show! (think "muppets in space" with extra helpings of cheese! πŸ˜†) I totally loved it though.

I take it you mean the 70s show and not the star Trek character? either way, the answer is yes!


message 175: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 4427 comments I was flirting with the though of including My Hero which I loved, but only the seasons with Ardal O'Hanlon, not the other guy.

Yes, the tv show with Buck Henry.

I agree! Atlantis was so well done. One of my favorite TV quotes of all time is Rodney McKay, "I'm not crazy; I just have another consciousness in my brain." That line has always made me laugh.

While I loved the original casting of SG-1, Atlantis just had the perfect mix of characters from the beginning.

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 1019 comments Bwaahaahaa! So I picked all the Jayne options on purpose (because... Jayne...) and it tells me I'm Wash πŸ˜†


ETA: Picked what all my actual answers would be, and I'm still Wash. Think it's trying to tell me something? πŸ˜†


message 191: by Sophie (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 717 comments I got Wash too... Think maybe it's broken. Will look for a better one for team building purposes.
