TIL I’m genderfluid.

OP forgot an older one:

Just like water in Spanish: el água / las águas.

That fucking hurt my eyes. Agua aguas, no tilde there.

The collective fandom of Star Fox looks at one another awkwardly.

Is it too much to want them all?

Meanwhile, Babylon 5

Does this mean I'm non-trinary?

We don't talk about the furries.

Not because we don't like them, but because that shit's complicated

but where does that leave dune

Or Battlestar Galactica

Firefly?? Farscape?

It was never the same once Fox had to gather bafomdads...

"They may have a point" -Farscape

¡Es ño tilde señor!

I'm so fluid right now.

This is only because spanish doesn't like repeating "a" sounds like la agua would have since it can create ambiguity in the sentence. If agua was la agua the words would probably eventually end up smushed together making lagua instead.

Where is Raumpatrouille Orion?

As much as I like ragging on some Star Trek series, at least they're not Stargate series.

Stargate had this thing where they pretended to be extremely serious but in reality they were about as serious as their spiritual predecessors Sliders and Quantum Leap.

The best Star Trek series was Babylon 5, just like how the best Star Trek movie was Galaxy Quest.

Leave that air force propaganda show off this list.

Indeed

I'm pretty sure Stargate is a slur when used this way.

Graçias¡!

So, I just started Babylon 5 and find it to be quite shit actually. Does it get better? It's really just bad acting and not really engaging. I'm 4 episodes in.

Other romance languages have words that really change gender tho. I think Italian and Romanian do. Arguably they are neuter but have in singular masculine endings and in plural feminine or was it the other way around

The first season had the TV execs meddling to make it be like ST:TNG because they wanted to mimic the popular thing at the time.

The writer got his way starting in season 2 and got to tell his story without the meddling.

Yes it gets better is what I’m saying. 🙂

I thought the best Star Trek series is The Orvil?

And then in season 5 it gets way worse. Those middle three are alright, though.

If I was recommending somebody how to watch B5 for the first time, I'd probably just say to skip the first season (as well as the pilot). In my opinion, Commander Sinclair is the weakest link in the acting, and he leaves after the first season. His replacement is a very good actor, in my opinion.

Also, as far as acting goes, Ambassadors Mollari and G'Kar get more screen time as the series progresses, and I think they're both great actors.

The first season does have a lot of background that sets up later seasons, and I've grown to like it, but I've seen the entire series probably over 10 times now, and for the first 3-4 times, I disliked the first season.

Season 5 is worse than 2-4, but not worse than S1. The problem is that B5 was always on the verge of being canceled, and so I think they finished the main story in Season 4, and so there's as much going on in Season 5, except for tying up loose ends and finishing character arcs. So, they added weak filler shit like the colony of rogue telepaths.

I mean, they had some pretty serious moments. But the villains were cartoonishly villainous.

There are only two genders! Sci-fi and fantasy! And I lay with both!

Make me. Actually, make my Portuguese auto corrector. I dare you.

In Spanish is called tilde, in English you don't have a name for that so I use the Spanish name.

What about Starhunter?

(please don't tell me I'm the only one who ever watched this absolute trashfest of a series 😅)

Make you what? Now Portuguese? Are you ok?

The best modern one, yes.

Chill, dude. It's a joke.

Battlestar won't stand for this indignation!

The split is hard sci-fi / sci-fi fantasy.

I guess you haven't watched SG then. They are just at the right level of taking themselves seriously and taking the piss.

Some episodes are very serious, others are pure silliness.

Indeed, engage RAWRGWAWGGR

My champion:

I couldn’t get into The Orville. Seemed rather presumptuous that you can apply human morals to aliens.

What the Harvey?

Of the four "Star" franchises: Wars, Trek, -gate, and Search, "-gate" is easily my third favorite.

It is a joke compared to the three mentioned. It's one series with a few shitty tv movies vs three whole franchises with multiple series, movies, books etc. that are all known by everyone, it's very much not the same.
