I watched these on DVD again quite recently and they stand up quite well, although (as usual) some of the earlier shows are a little flaky.

Yup. The pilot was bad enough to turn me off the whole series. It took some serious persuading by a couple of friends to get me to watch any more of it. Two episodes later, I was hooked.

Yep, 1st season was pretty much training and did not have too many arc episodes. Pilot is quite bad as well .. I didn't start watching till the end of season 1, so I missed that.

I'm actually a little suprised we made it to page 2 before anyone quoted that line.

I'm shocked. Shocked and dismayed. I'd remind you we are short on supplies here. We can't afford to take perfectly good clothing and throw it out into space. Always take the jacket off first, I've told you that before

My favorite of all:

"G'Quon wrote, "There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain."
G'kar

The transformation of that character from bad guy to the most morally centered character was great, and the progression was credible and well written.

Another G'kar quote:
"No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power tyrants and dictators cannot stand. The Centauri learned that lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free. "

I never thought of him as a bad guy. He was certainly one of the villains in the Pilot.

"The last time I gave an interview they told me to just relax and say what I really felt. Ten minutes after the broadcast I got transferred to an outpost so far off the starmaps you couldn't find it with a hunting dog and an ouiji board."

"Don't sweat it. Just be that charming, effervescent commander we've all come to know and love. What's the worst that could happen? They fire you, ship you off to the Rim and I get promoted to Commander. I don't see a problem here."

So, I need relationship advice. I am starting to score women on a weighted scale: 25% looks (average subjective score out of 10, with me and my three best friends voting), 25% brains (I take their most recent reported standardized test, find the percentile score, and then multiply it by 25%), 20% their percentile net worth (scored similarly to the standardized test), and 20% physical fitness (I run with prospective girlfriends and clock it -- a 6 minute mile is a 20, a 7 minute is an 18, etc).

I have three girls I am interested in dating - one scoring a 81, one scoring an 72, and another scoring a 64. I am considering the margin of error in my calculation to be plus or minus 9%, though this is entirely arbitrary and is just a way for me to consider Girl #2 since I think she might be more into me than Girl #1. Something about the way she eats pasta is disgusting though, and I might need to show my friends just how much sauce she uses so as to impact the subjective score average. Kraft cheese? What is this, 5th grade? Get off your ass and cook, *****.

Anyone done anything like this? I feel good knowing that the girls I will hang out with from now on will be objectively good catches, not just "I think I like her but ehh maybe it's just a fling" bullshit.

Just got the Seasons 1-4 from Best Buy a couple of weeks ago for $20 a pop. I'm currently working through season 1, and I got my wife hooked now.

One thing I can say from the first time I watched the series when it went into syndication a few years back...each season gets progressively better than the previous one.

[Immarsecice]

Indeed. But it could've been great had JMS been given the go ahead earlier, they could've also kept Ivanova
