A standard Robot Chicken, but with various skits parodying the Star Wars franchise.

Have a half hour to waste? Give this a shot, but if you don’t like it within the first few minutes go do something better; Robot Chicken is hit-and-miss.

Properly titled Robot Chicken: Star Wars
Continues with Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III

A secret organization scavenges alien technology.

Like Doctor Who, this series is pretty light. It seems good so far.

A spin-off of Doctor Who – (2005 show).

Guild bounty hunters hunt bounties and stuff.

I like it so far.

I am reminded of Firefly – (2002 show).

Receiving a signal from her now-dead foster-parent race, Samus Aran investigates.

There is no plot. It’s confusing and ugly. Do not watch this.

Upon contact with aliens, humans set up a space station to promote ambassadorial relations among species.

Easily among the best television I’ve seen. Everything about this series is phenomenal: acting, stories, sets, etc. Unfortunately, the graphics do appear dated in places, but it otherwise holds up very well.

Mandatory viewing.

It is important to follow a Babylon 5 viewing order.
See also Crusade – (1999 show), the spin-off which should not be watched!

The feature-length movie and test pilot for Babylon 5 – (1994 show).

This is the first item to view in the Babylon 5 viewing order. See Babylon 5 binge 01 notes.

Properly titled Babylon 5: The Gathering
This is technically “film 0”, as it is the feature-length pilot episode.
Movie Box, cd 1 – Babylon 5 – The Gathering – (1993 movie)
- The first disk, which is labeled “1”. It is extremely important to get this right! Look at the number and title on the disk.
SPOILER ALERT – Although there is important information in the introduction to the station, I think it’s important to skip to 1:15.

People abandon Earth to flee to Mars, and a ship of three are sent with supplies to aid in recolonization.

I couldn’t get 20 minutes in because of the acting.

Oh the teeth on that woman (Dawn).
“Lab apple” wouldn’t be much of a concept for people born 330 years after Mars colonization.
How come Dawn and dude could be arguing and other woman wouldn’t come in then, but came in when she hallucinated.
The acting seems sub-par to me.
Oh gods the flashback type stuff annoys me.
With three people, this is pretty bland.
Hmm, waiting until 30, that sounds a lot like other population or resource-constraint movies that send people away.
Just how big is the ship? For three people, she sure has a lot of space.
Why would a few days be fucking people over like that? I bet it’s because they’re 30.
