At that point I’ll know if I have to get rid of my children
You’re all wrong. There is only one answer:
Lexx is… Something else.
Here I go watching all 6 seasons again.
My kids made a better choice:
Farscape is like Mormonism — gotta watch Trek first to catch the references!
You have to watch a LOT more than that!
Some other references:
2001 A Space Odyssey
Looney Tunes (An entire episode was dedicated to the Coyote and Road Runner). That show had numerous other references too, including an appearance of the Enterprise itself.
Dr Strangelove or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb. (Dear John and Hi There for instance)
Dark Crystal
Dracula
Star Wars
There are many many more. The entire show was one big reference to something else.
One of the more esoteric Star Trek references was the aliens urinating. In Star Trek, no one pees. The only time any time of shower/rest room is shown in the entire franchise is in ST:TMP when the Ilia drone appears on the Enterprise. There might be a scene in ST:TOS where Kirk comes out of a door with wet hair and a towel around his shoulders, but that’s it.
About the only franchise/movie that I cannot think of a reference in Farscape is Stargate.
That’s because Stargate made references to Farscape, not the other way around.
You mean when it becamse “Fargate” or “Starscape”?
I really liked Ben Browder and Claudia Black in Stargate, however it was really jarring and took a while to get used to.
In Star Trek, no one pees.
No longer the case, because of DISCO, which also confirmed the dual dick Klingon theory.
LOL… I don’t think I’ve seen that scene…aaaannnd not sure I want to.
Thank you for the update though.
This + Stargate
Never get off the boat, man, never get off the boat…
One is just 3 films, the other houndreds of episodes and several films.
How hard can it be? Worst case do the first and then switch!
Ignore the peanut gallery. You’re right: there are only 3 Star Wars movies.

The best Star Wars are the animated shows. Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch are each better than most of the movies. Andor is also good. So Star Wars is a lot more than just 3 movies.
I was about to say, what’s this slander? Star wars is 4 movies and 4 tv shows!
Are the movies 4, 5, 6, and Rogue One?
Are the movies 4, 5, 6
No; 1, 2, 3
Attack of the clones, solo, rise of Skywalker, and the Xmas special
houndreds
But first they need to agree that B5 is superior to both big franchises.
Amazingly still very relevant. Mainly the graphics were dated when I watched a couple of years ago.
This is the third edge of the sword.
They’re just gonna end up being LOTR/Fantasy geeks and hate sci-fi if you push too hard. Instead of Trek or Star Wars conventions, they’ll wanna go to the ren faire.
What if they choose Firefly?
What if they choose Firefly?
Shiny, Beltalowda.
So say we all!
So say we all!
So say we ALL!
Are they the lucky ones?
Do we really want to subject our offspring to the torment that is no second season?
i gotta go with butters on this… its better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all.
its better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all.
Just make sure they’re old enough to participate in the “is Star Wars fantasy or sci-fi” debate first.
The problem is that Star Wars and Star Trek are two different genres. One is sci-fi and the other is fantasy set in space. There nothing wrong with either, but they are unrelated.
Q would like to talk about space wizards. Or that guy that killed an entire race because his wife died. Or when Riker was made a god. Or when Wesley walked out of the show.
Trek is science fiction?
I don’t get why it’s a problem they’re unrelated. Stargate is unrelated to both, and far superior.
Why is it a problem that they’re unrelated?
Is space politics sci-fi or fantasy? It’s got as much religion and politics going for it as knights and wizards.
So how is Star Trek fantasy?
Suffice to say, it’s Star Wars with the space fantasy stuff.
The force etc etc very much is coded as a religion
Trek Wars. Not to be confused with the 1994 cinematic masterpiece that is Tek Wars.
The sci-fi gods welcome ALL, with a warm heart!
