Build and expand a space-faring race who learns they are not alone in the universe.
Master of Orion – (1993 game) but with updated graphics and a confusing interface. I expect would have loved this in the past, but now it’s just awkward. I’ll still tag this as ‘liked’, as it’s pretty good. It’s very hard in the eyes. Take a lot of breaks.
Extremely stupidly hard.. and confusing. I’m shelving it. I only paid $12 USD for it, so it’s not a big loss.. still, I wish the UI was better and the tutorial was better and the gameplay was better..
 No, her eyes are not like that

A ship malfunctions, and a passenger on a deep-space voyage to a new colony is woken from hibernation early.
Good and not good at the same time. It works out quite well, and has a good overall tone to it, but the story itself is sad.

A guy who builds the technology to turn dirt into water goes to Mars, and even though he knows the ship better than anyone else, somehow, he has trouble on the way.
A patient, somewhat interesting movie. Worth watching if you’re into such things, but definitely not if you’re new to this style.
I watched the whole thing, and don’t really regret it, but I wouldn’t categorize this as anywhere near awesome.

You don’t want to know about this until you already know about this. Move along..

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.

Primarily a parody the original Star Wars trilogy.
It technically holds up well, but there are references which wouldn’t make sense to a younger person. Bits and pieces feel old, but a surprising amount of it doesn’t. All in all, I can see why it was a cult classic, but it’s almost entirely boring to me. 1980s comedy has a specific flavour which is really simplistic and underwhelming out of context.
Recommended as a one-off watch for those who have seen and appreciated other bubblegum 1980s comedies. Otherwise, pass on this.

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.
Okay, I’m going to stop now.. the acting is just too bad.
