You had no right to educate me on this topic! :-( (/s :-P)

I can't be the only person who watched The Head back in 94 lol

[–] Dud@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I shouldn't have, I was only 7 or 8 at the time but man that show was a trip.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I was about 13 when it came on MTV and it was my favorite show lol

The original star trek is the best

DS9 ran till '99, though.

The first seasons were 30 years ago, but the ending is only about 25 years ago.

BSG, though, finished in 1979. If someone says "thirty years ago" and your first thought is the 70s, you might be old. BSG ended 45 years ago. It's 20 years older than the finale of DS9.

Edit: if someone asks you "who was president 30 years ago", do you instantly think of Jimmy Carter? Because BSG came out basically in the middle of his presidency. If your first thought was Bush or Reagan, you associate the Sci Fi of 30 years ago with reruns of BSG.

Battlestar Galactica?
I might be wrong though, that show's like 30 years old

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The remake is only 20 though.

Not a joke, it's from 2004.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They're already planning on remaking the remake, it truly is starbucks all the way down

[–] teft@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The pilot is Starbuck. The coffee shop is Starbucks.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

And I was referring to more than one starbuck, so it's starbucks all the way down.

Edit: Bloody hell, mate. Get over it.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

That's insane. It still holds up like it could have been made five years ago.

I'm convinced we might have plateaued in visual quality for effects. And I'm fine with that. The constant race for bigger and better gets old after awhile (for graphics I mean)

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

You get the same thing with SGA (not so much SG:1 lol) but yeah, anything done since ~ 2003 hasn't really got any massively different effects from now.

[–] Malgas@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

The original Battlestar Galactica.

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Time is the fire in which we burn.

I think about that a lot.
