/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I have always wanted to like b5, I have tried to watch it multiple times over the years. I get 3 or 4 episodes into it and lose interest. Maybe it is time to try it out again
It definitely blends action, drama, politics, and philosophy like Stat Trek does, but leans far more into drama/politics. I can understand why one might lose interest early on.
From what I remember it start a little slow, but it starts to pick up around half way of the first season and it's pretty consistenly great after that. It has been while since I rewatched it though
I feel this. Sometimes I have to remind myself it took, like, 5 tries on Breaking Bad to get past Walter standing in a desert in his tightie whities.
I think B5 is the one where the test pilot goes too fast and winds up on a big alien spaceship?
That almost sounds like Farscape
Like OP said, that's Farscape, sort of an antithesis to B5. Farscape is action in a ship. B5 is politics in a station.
I had the bonus watching Breaking Bad, of being from NM but living in Maryland when I watched it. I was enjoying seeing all the stuff from home.
And yup that is Farscape, another really great sci-fi show.
Hmm give this one a go
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0517627/
While it's not quite the style of the show, it still a fun way to see the whole station and get a taste of the over arching plot stuff.
First season? Yeah that one is a bit rough. But the payoff is worth the setup.
Get to episode 8, "And the Sky Full of Stars." If that doesn't grab you, then rest assured that the show is just not your thing.
