General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I have the series on DVD but I've never seriously cracked it, only seen a few episodes. Was wondering what people here think, is it as good as the internet often says it is? I know it was an inspiration for one of my favorite franchises (Mass Effect) and The Orville had a cute reference to it by making its main actor the president of the Planetary Union, but that's the extent of my B5 knowledge. So anyway, should I binge the series?

Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) got into some weird shit later in life, but it's a great "lost in space" style show anyway. They cruise around in their lil space shippy solving mysteries or whatever. Nothing too original but fun

Yeah Kevin Sorbo is some Christian fundie now who does anti-atheist propaganda, lol
