I like Star Trek because most of the episodes aren't solved via violence.

@TipsyTentacle which series?

@er1n TNG

@TipsyTentacle ooh tng is good
Def watch ds9 next :3

@er1n ds9 was the first star trek i watched and loved <3

@TipsyTentacle ds9 is aMAZING ❤

@er1n @TipsyTentacle [in a tiny voice] try babylon 5

@alyx sure, where do i find it?

@TipsyTentacle i think you're in the US, right?

the standard warning is it starts off rocky. even a few bad eps.

but they payoff in S2-S4 is AMAZING. S2 really made me a believer. S5 is half-great. you can read the behind-the-scenes reasons if you become a fan.

@alyx @TipsyTentacle its a good series, think DS9 but less bad and less tethered to the station

@nire @TipsyTentacle you didn't like DS9 either? i feel like i'm alone in that

i think i watched DS9 after B5, so that's probably a key factor

DS9 struck me as an episodic show that occasionally pretended to be serialized, whereas B5 was the real thing, and like 10 years early
