      I mean if we are sticking to live action; 4. The Man in the High Castle 3. House of the Dragon 2. Good Omens 1. Penny Dreadful - seriously Penny Dreadful cannot be recommended enough! 5 is tricky because so many shows start off fantastic to then stumble heavily afterwards. But Altered Carbon season 1 is brilliant in every sense of the word!

      As you have conducted your list with the utmost adherence to personal preference, I feel comfortable doing the same - and so there are a few in my "ultimate" top 5 that are there because of their nostalgic factor to me personally or because I find that I _can_ revisit them again and again (which is a major criterion for me in deciding whether a show really is great in my opinion, or just enjoyable pastime)
      1. Stargate SG1
      2. Quantum Leap (there is now a remake, but I grew up with the 1989 series and I wholeheartedly stand by it)
      3. Farscape
      4. Fringe
      5. The Expanse / BSG

    Just started the video and I whole-heartedly couldn't agree more: "I miss this type of Daniel thought piece. I miss when he would just come up in front of a green screen, do some weird stuff, and give us opinions." Classic Daniel has returned. Long may he reign.

    It's kind of funny how the 2003 Battlestar Galactica was made almost to be an anti-Star Trek. Ronald D. Moore, the BSG showrunner, was a main writer on TNG, DS9, and did a bit of Voyager. When he made BSG, he did all the things he wasn't allowed to do on Trek, like having a lot of conflicts between the crew, doing much darker storylines, and having a lot of continuity.
    And The Expanse's showrunner Naren Shankar was also a Trek writer and he did a bunch of things he wasn't allowed to do on Trek.

    • @justinwatson16
      @justinwatson16 Před 5 měsíci +4

      I feel like DS9 is very much a preview of what Ron Moore wanted to do, he starts showing the contradictions and cracks, even in the Federation, occasionally has antagonists who have a point--Eddington's, "At least the Borg TELL you they're trying to assimilate you," speech, etc., and BSG '04 is what happened when the gloves came off and he was completely divorced from Rodenberry's world.

    Babylon 5 is a favorite of mine. My dad was a huge fan of it and he got me into it when I was a teenager. It still holds up, even if the special effects don’t. But the world building, the characters, and the themes it tackles more than makes up for that

    • @makeitstop5457
      @makeitstop5457 Před 5 měsíci +14

      Babylon 5 is hands down my favorite show of all time. It starts a bit shaky, but not bad. And then it just gets better. And better. And then EVEN BETTER.
      The characters have immense depth, while still having a simple likable charm to them (G'kar and Londo each get more character development on their own than you'll find in most franchises). The story touches on timeless themes, and it's portrayal of the darker elements at work on earth are more relevant now than ever. And though each episode is a stand alone episode, they form arcs which build to the most spectacular and climactic moments. Plot elements converge and you feel the world shifting, for better and for worse. Sometimes it leaves you wanting to cheer triumphantly, and sometimes it punches you in the gut. But in those moments, you know nothing is ever going to be the same.
      And yes, the special effects are dated. But most of the really bad stuff is in the first season. After that, the space battles work quite well, the ship designs are fantastic and original, and you really only have the occasional composite shot that actually ages poorly.

    Stargate SG1 will always be my favorite. It did for me what Fringe did for Daniel (even though I love Fringe as well). SG1 is my go to example of interpolation world building ie connecting what is new back to what came before. So often when an episode introduced a new element it would connect back to a previous one. Slowly building out a universe of possibilities and it’s not future humanity that’s exploring it, it’s present day humanity and that makes us feel all the smaller since humanity feels terribly out of its depth and out gunned. But we learned the ropes, allied with other species and grew.

    Babylon 5 is the greatest sci-fi show ever made. I say that, even though the first season suffers from typical genre tv 1st season clunkines, and at least half of the 5th (and final) season is a step down.

    • @robbybevard8034
      @robbybevard8034 Před 5 měsíci +5

      Season 1 suffered from JMS not writing every episode, studio interreference, and the lead actor having an ongoing mental breakdown, plus the usual first season jank. It's okay despite all of them.
      5 mostly suffered Claudia Christensen leaving unexpectedly. I think the Byron arc would in general have worked better if we'd actually gotten payoff to Ivanova's telepath arc as intended. And had JMS known she wasn't coming back, he would have kept Marcus around. So it got hit hard by losing two cast members at the same time... add to that the fact they didn't know they'd get a season 5 meant they rushed some things to finish up in season 4, AND JMS lost his notes in a cab... yeah it was a little janky.
      But the lower decks episode, the Neil Gaiman ghost episode, the Psicorp focused episode, the second half with all the payoffs for Londo and G'kar... and the final two episodes... So yeah season 5 is weaker, but it was still overall pretty solid.

    Midnight Mass was very strange for me. I went into it thinking it was going to be about how the real evil is how people can get caught up in radical religious movements, that these things are products of the human mind, and so naturally it would reveal the supernatural elements were either not real or utterly irrelevant. In a way, it still gives that messaging, but the sudden degeneration into the supernatural elements at the end was an odd choice to me. That said, Battlestar Galactica is peak.

    • @xx99Username99xx
      @xx99Username99xx Před 5 měsíci +4

      I think there's pretty interesting implication to this approach. It shows how, in much the same way that faith-based worldviews can be deeply problematic frameworks for navigating the real world (or rather, the natural world), what with all the biases they tend to instill regarding science, morality, etc., they could be similarly problematic even if we knew for a fact that the supernatural existed. If we found out tomorrow that some particular supernatural phenomenon were real (be it gods/ghosts/souls/afterlives/reincarnation/magic/angels/demons/djinn or whatever), one of the most dangerous things we could do would be to assume we already know what that phenomenon is and how it works based on what some religion or other has to say about it. If you're dealing with a force beyond the power of known science, you can't afford to make the wrong assumptions about it. So a mindset of careful inquiry into the truth, through observation and reason, isn't just warranted because we seem to live in a naturalistic universe; it's perhaps even more important if it turns out we don't. I have no idea if anything to this effect was intentional on Flanagan's part, but that was the message I got out of it. (I think my overall reading of the show was a little more broadly anti-faith than Daniel's, although it is definitely very respectful and appreciative in how it presents and handles that theme.)

And we ARE religious! I love the way the different characters experience, explore and question faith. It shows us how bad people with their own agendas can really twist things, but it also shows us the good parts like how it can give hope, guidance, a way of life, etc. It's not my own personal favorite show, but I sure am glad I watched it. The monologues DID get to me a bit... But I choose to simply see it as part of the style, much like we'd see in certain stage plays.
