Someone recently told me that Resurrection Ship, Part II was a good stopping point for Battlestar Galactica. True?

BSG is unquestionably my favorite sci-fi tv series, followed by Farscape, and then it gets tough to rank after that. I absolutely cannot wait to see what Esmail does with the series. |

Anybody here ever watch the 70's Trek cartoon? The animation is primitive by today's standards, of course, but a few of the episodes are worth a watch if you're a fan of TOS. All of original cast is back except for Walter Koenig; Mark Lenard (Sarek), Roger C. Carmel (Harry Mudd), and Stanley Adams (Cyrano Jones) also reprise their roles. Some TOS writers (D.C. Fontana and David Gerrold) and directors also contributed to the series. Some of the episodes are typical crummy Saturday morning fare, but there are a few that feel like their plots could have worked just fine on TOS. My top 5: "Yesteryear" (D.C. Fontana script. Influential Spock/Vulcan backstory) "The Survivor" "The Eye of the Beholder" "One of Our Planets Is Missing" "The Slaver Weapon" (written by Larry Niven) IF you are a big TOS fan, and IF you can handle 70s animation, it's worth a watch.

I remember one episode from the animated show where the crew finds an alien weapon that would morph into different types of weapons, iirc? One was a phaser blast with the force of a nuclear blast. That is my complete recall on the Star Trek animated series, lol.

Heh. If you can stand the same track over and over and over again, the Animated Series has some really good music

Neat. You're right, the music isn't really bad at all; it's just very repetitive. What bugs me most about the music is that loud horn blast that they use every time there's an action sequence. I watched "Yesterday's Enterprise" last night. It's amazing how much this show improved in season 3. Things were going fine at Narendra III until Lt. Castillo told a Romulan ambassador that he "eats pieces of shit like him for breakfast." Last edited by Mennonite; 02-24-2021 at 10:20 AM.. |

Yeah, it's a great episode alright. My top five would probably be: The Inner Light Darmok All Good Things... Sarek Yesterday's Enterprise A top ten would probably continue with some combination of these episodes: The Best of Both Worlds parts 1 & 2 & Family (I'll always think of this as an epilogue) The Worf arc (Sins of the Father, Reunion, Redemption) Tapestry Lower Decks I can't figure out which of these I'd put in the last spot: The Measure of a Man The Enemy Preemptive Strike The Most Toys The Offspring The Defector The Wounded The Mind's Eye Edit: I could have also listed I, Borg, The Pegasus, or Parallels. I can either drive myself crazy trying to come up with a "definitive" top ten or I can just say "The Inner Light is my favorite episode." Let's just go with the second option.
