Soooo.... SG°1? Or is that too far?
I would definitely put Farscape ahead of the others because it’s had such a profound impact on the creators and writers of other space opera shows since its run, including newer Star Trek.
Babylon 5 is very good if one skips all but the ‘must see episodes’ of season one. The original principal actor suffered a major health crisis between the pilot and the first season. His wooden, not present performance, really damages that season but the other actors and show is very much worth the effort to watch around that.
I would also throw some 1970s classics in to the mix if OP enjoyed TOS. Space 1999 is definitely worth a watch, especially season one. BSG, the original, is a fun ride.
For a show that’s ambitious and appallingly bad all at once, but that features some classic Trek actors and writers, ‘The Starlost’ is a hoot. It really deserves to be purposed for memes.
I can honestly say that I have tried to get into SG1 several times but it never sticks. (I really liked the movie though.). I started again recently and drifted away in the middle of season one.
I agree with your assessments. Although I've never liked Space 1999, original BSG or Buck Rogers that much. Especially the original BSG, which had a very bad late 70s vibe akin to Love Boat, Six Million Dollar Man, The Incredible Hulk and Man From Atlantis lol
SG°1 is fairly light hearted. The first season has the lowest average rating and boasts some of the worst rated episodes in the entire show. After that it gets consistently good. Up until Season 9/10 that is, when you suddenly have Farscape in your SG universe, and an ass-pull of a new "race" appears.
But by then you would start watching SG Atlantis, and the diamond in the rough that is Stargate Universe. The later which somehow makes it all worth it.
Ok, perhaps I should just power through SG season one and see if I can get into it.
BSG definitely is very late 70s American but, as a Canadian, I find Buck Rogers even worse. I don’t think I made it through two or three episodes at most.
