What do YOU want to rewatch that isn't B7? Maybe some Red Dwarf? (it's available on BBC I-player) The Prisoner? Babylon 5? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Speaking as a B5 fan, so I am clearly biased, I would love to do some cherry picked episodes...if that is possible given the story arc. But I will go with the flow. If someone suggests something not yet mentioned....

I found a TV series on dailymotion,never seen its about everyone in the UK/World smashing up technology when something makes them do it ,it's called The Changes, (1975) watched couple episodes, along the lines of Quarermass 4/ The pit? Looks good Edited by OracVZen on 18-09-2023 13:02 I plan to live forever,or die trying.

My vote goes to The Prisoner... completely submerged in speedway, but will be able to join in once it's November!
Vote Og.

Darren 451 (see https://www.blakes7online.com/forum/v...read_id=19 for details!) recommends Raumpatrouille Orion https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...U-DArsW_4n Worth a try? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Nothing tonight? For the record, I would second some carefully picked episodes of Babylon 5. |

Although, having now read the thread, Hugbot does a very good job of selling Raumpatrouille Orion, and it might be especially interesting as something from the same era as the Star Trek we have been watching. Just as long as there are subtitles - my German is of the 'how do I get to the station/can I have a coffee please' sort! |

But Babylon 5 is OK, too. And it's a long time since I watched the early Red Dwarfs (Dwarves??). "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Oh dear, what have I done?  While RP is definitely worth watching, there are two little problems: 1. Reading the subtitles and having an eye on the comments might be quite distracting. As this would actually not be a re-watch but a first-time watch for most of you and you won't be able to understand the spoken dialogue, you will inevitably miss part of the action every time you read or write a comment. 2. While the subtitles in the links provided are not as ridiculous or unintelligible as others that I have seen, they are also not very good, more paraphrasing the original dialogue than actually translating it. You may get the gist of what's happening but the snarky dialogue is often rendered rather lame; which is a real pitty because that's were the series really shines. (Shades of B7?) If you can live with that - have fun! Two more things to mention: There is a character named Villa (very different from our Vila), and Helga is looking lovely. |

I suppose a solution (for me, anyway) might be to watch it twice - once alone to get what's going on, and then again in company to comment. Also, to actually learn German (although that might be more of a long-term ambition)! |

Has a decision been made? Nope. Since you and Anne have both suggested Babylon 5, that has the most 'votes'. Not my favourite but it's as good as some of the stuff we've watched. I'd still like to throw 'V' into the mix one day. At least in 'V' the guinea pigs are cute. Before they get eaten, of course. Do you want me to start a B5 thread for Thursday? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Where would we start with B5? Midnight on the Firing Line? Should OSP and I try to draw up a list of the best episodes? And if so, how many? Questions, questions . . . |

Good thinking, M'Virn. We'll ignore the pilot episode...

Hi all, I'm back in circulation. A few questions: (1) Hoy many more weeks do the Babylon 5 rewatches have to go? (2) Anyone up for The Prisoner? (3) If not, any other ideas for rewatches after B5? Vote Og.

There's only 17 episodes of The Prisoner - any objections if we do the lot? If so, we'll do it over 16 weeks - and do the final two episodes together! Vote Og.
