iirc there was an episode of MASH that was one long poker game. At the start Hawkeye comes in from the operating room and tells someone that he has to wait two hours before his patient has gotten enough blood to start operating. Players come in and out, and they keep chatting while the bombs fall.

Spoiler warning!

At the beginning of the show, yes it "disappeared". Later in the seasons we find out that Babylon 4 was stolen by the good guys and taken back in time to use as weapon in the first shadow war. If memory serves, this is also when Sinclair comes back into the show for a cameo. Sinclair leads the forces of good against the shadows (and becomes Valien, the Mimbari ancestor/god I think).

At this point it would have to be animated.

MASH did some amazing bottle episodes. I remember watching the series back when Netflix mailed disks and really enjoying it. It held up really well.

The change that always intrigues me is that Frank Burns character.

In the original book and movie [he was played by Robert Duval] Frank is not an idiot. He's a competent surgeon. The reason the others hate him is that when a patient lives it's because Frank is a great doctor, and when a patient dies it's someone else's fault. Trapper punches him after Frank tells an 18 year old corpsman that the corpsman had killed a patient.

Winchester was overbearing and obnoxious, but he had a sense of humor and a modicum of self-awareness.

I believe they are going for a 'prequel' set in the days between the end of the show and the Serenity movie.

More will be revealed

The only way to watch Twilight is with the RiffTrax commentary.

"Next time you come in could you be so depressed, you're scaring away our customers. I know we specialize in books on the occult but even we find you depressing. We do have Wind in the Willows and the Narnia stuff...I could even special order you some Norman Vincent Peale!"

On the subject of Stargate; a new series is being made. I'm jaded as fuck considering that every attempt at reviving classic sci-fi and fantasy has been done by those least qualified.

But when it does come, I really hope Stargate embraces an alternate history approach, because if it turns out the whole Stargate program is somehow still a secret, then it'll be unbelievable to the point of absurdity.

Unironically, I think Star Trek: Away would be a fun Lower Decksian concept that covers an away team, but only while they are on mission.

The episode starts once they have left the ship (whether by transporter, shuttle or otherwise), no context, and the show builds the premise of the mission over the course of the episode. We never actually get a good view of the inside of the ship and all the nonsense that goes on there (mission related or not) has to be relayed through coms, dialogue, or the away team’s outside perspective.

Thank you for bringing up the term "bottle episode" again. I was trying to remember what it was called and searching was only coming up with clip episode.

Someone posted a picture of an episode of Frasier at the spa "There is a platinum door?" and I was wanting to see if that matched the bottle episode definition.

They’ve been trying to make a new Stargate series for years. Pretty much since Universe bombed, but especially since Amazon bought MGM. Last I heard they had recruited Joseph Mallozzi to run the new show. He has been with Stargate since season 4 of SG-1 and supposedly was heavily involved with Atlantis but not as involved with Universe, so we shall see but I’m not going to hold my breath for a good show.

It’s ripe for all sorts of ongoing gags: red shirt death toll, or a red shirt that gets horribly maimed but comes back from sick bay every episode South Park style. Plenty of room for plot twists and narrative shifts because neither the MacGuffin nor the true nature of the setting are revealed at the beginning.


Open planet-side. The away team beams in and starts taking readings and such.

Away 1: So, how many tentacles do you think the transporter chief actually has?

Away 2: At least 30, but that depends where in the branching you start counting.

Away 3: 30‽ More like 2,030!

Away 2: Oh I don’t count the little ones. I think of them as tiny fingers.

Away 1: Or octopus suckers.

Away 4: I think they are more like…tongues?

Away 1: Wait! So every time they shook my hand…

Away 4: Uh huh.

Away 1: Honestly, I’m not sure if I’m disgusted or aroused…

Away 3: dis-groused?

Away 4: I always thought they were 1 multi pronged tentacle, like… a hand… or, or, a starfish!

Away 1: A starfish? do you think if they were cut in half they’d become twins?

Disembodied voice: Away One, your communicator is still on.

Away 1: Ugggh! Not again! If I get another reprim…

Blaster fire hits a nearby red shirt and plot ensues

Yes. I think, what happens when the Stargate Program becomes public knowledge is one of the most interesting premises the show could work with.

I loved the story line about the previous stations in Babylon 5. So interesting like yeah we have this awesome place, but it didn't just happen to spring into existence. It wasn't formed naturally or given by some advanced aliens. We built it ourselves after having a real shit time previously. But we stuck with it and here it is, flaws and all.
