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.
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.
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.
Fargate
Kirk comes out of a door with wet hair and a towel around his shoulders, but that’s it.
Archer takes a shower on Enterprise. I think it was a Delphic Expanse episode. There was also that whole decon thing.
Jankom Pog mentions putting a sonic toilet out of commission. They don’t show it, but they do give us the flushing sound as he exits.
Voyager has a detailed sonic shower scene with B’Elanna Torres.
Then there is Lower Decks…
This + Stargate
Never get off the boat, man, never get off the boat…
The superior version.
That’s awesome.
Perfection.
What if they choose Firefly?
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!
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?
Attack of the clones, solo, rise of Skywalker, and the Xmas special
Trek Wars. Not to be confused with the 1994 cinematic masterpiece that is Tek Wars.
So… no one’s about Battlestar Galactica?
So, uh….
For when you want your Sci-Fi manic depressive.
The sci-fi gods welcome ALL, with a warm heart!
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.
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
I never got why people like star wars so much. It’s basically 3 “good” (I actually didn’t like it) films and it’s all downhill from there.
If Disney had not done a terrible job then this meme would be more relevant.
Having said that, rouge one was a solid movie (the only good one imo).
Heretics, let me preach to you the true religion of Babylon 5. Do not fall for the False God of D*9.
Post scarcity gay space communism vs. Space cowboys and wizards.
