I recently acquired Supernatural based on a few positive mentions here on KIA2. I quite like it, but it's a bit... off. These sorts of shows are really about the banter and camaraderie, with the monster stuff being almost incidental. Somehow the chemistry/banter is not quite working for me.
Should I persevere?
Watch Farscape instead. First season is a bit iffy, but the crew truly ends up becoming a family. The show has a heart and little tidbits of interesting science fiction ideas.
Supernatural was always more for teenage girls tbh.
Farscape is a great show. I really hope they don’t decide reboots/ruin it
Black Crichton, CGI Rygel, Aeryn's a tranny, Moya doesn't even feature because PETA got pissy...
I can see them going the nuTrek route and making it visually flashy and completely devoid of soul or personality. Basically the opposite of what Farscape was.
Meh, No Man's Sky has living ships, and it's a feature that was very much asked for in the forums.
There were also the Lexx movies and TV shows. Living ships are kind of a popular idea. Like riding around in a big pet instead of on it.
Lexx. Now there's something else they wouldn't get quite right (as bizarre and blue as it was for the time and network). Hell, they messed up Lev a little bit as it was in the original.
Exactly
Seconded. The series doesn't coalesce until the latter part of season one. That's not to say the rest of the first season isn't enjoyable. It has some hits and misses. However, once you hit the introduction of Scorpius the show is a rollercoaster ride until the end of the series.
My girlfriend and I are watching it now. We're still in the first season. This is her first time watching it since she wasn't alive yet when it air. I haven't seen it since it aired.
That also describes Star Trek TNG, to be fair. A lot of shows are pretty mediocre in the beginning. Even legendary ones.
You get lots of details on second watching.
Written by a former writer on TNG, who took some left over scripts from the show, approached the Henson company to make his sci-fi show and they said okay.
I really do kinda miss it. Some of the pacing in episodes is all over the place but ones that stand out like Different Destinations are better than even TNG could offer.
Ah Farscape.
The old woke, before woke. Had a plot and at least it wasn't RNG/TNG.
What? The show is pro family and implicitly pro life.
Don't be getting in the way of my free love. That blue whatchamacallit.
Ah, the plant? That isn't woke, it's an alien. Rather, the show implicitly admonishes the Peacekeeper's destruction of the family.
