Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I hear Babylon 5 and The Expanse is nice, but I hear so little about those two shows I don't know what to expect of these stories.

live action as animated recommendation is allowed.

Here to fanboy over Babylon 5.

B5 is a political comfort show for me, especially these days. It was brazen for the 90s, with characters facing questions like: recovering from drug addiction, cross-cultural romantic relationships and their hurdles, colonization and genocide, bisexual representation, the loss of family members, and what to do if you're a military member serving a regime that you hate. It's deeply philosophical and mature, and it's had a profound impact on my life.

It had the time to develop complex relationships between characters. One of my favorite characters is an alien ambassador named G'kar, played by Andreas Katsulas.

Just to add while the CGI aged the content of the dialog hits harder to me an adult than it did as a kids. Top work.
