      Fair-ish, can’t find the big guy being asked trek or wars and going gate meme. I like 'em all, but I’m not out to make people mad (troll). Like the agency in gate, the competence and evolved ethics from trek and the swashbuckling from wars.

      Many know, many care. However, I found this. mYLo4fW93B6VCCS.gif while looking for the big guy, which I may use inappropriately for a while, thanks.

        O"Neil: “You tell me where you’re at and then I’m going to open your iris!”

          It’s ‘O’Neill’, with two L’s. There’s another Colonel O’Neil with only one L, and he has no sense of humor at all.

        The book is either the best apology of armed forces or the best satire of armed forces. The line is so thin it’s completely in the eyes of the reader, making it a battlefield of interpretations. Personally, I laughed so hard reading it I can’t believe Heinlein was serious while writing it. Same for Citizen of the Galaxy.

        About the film, it was a conscious choice to make it a satire and it succeeds beautifully.

          I remember before reading the book being warned that it was fascism apologia but it seemed like satire to me.

          The movie did the satire bit perfectly. I wish Verhoeven would have another go at a sci-fi

            It could be used as proof that fascism is its own satire, honestly. Now we just look at US

    I say these rankings are not smart. A true sci fi enjoyer doesn’t rank. They see these creations exist simultaneously, manifests of our curiosity, imagination and awe for the incomprehensible vastness and variety of life and the universe. Having said that, Star Wars. Definetly Star Wars.

    “Trek: Deep Space Nine”

    Best mostly just meaning it’s the one I love the most - Ben Sisko and Kira Nerys are two of my favorite characters in tv, and were a big influence on me as a kid. I started rewatching recently for the first time since it originally aired, and man, it’s still so good.

      I’m watching it through for the first time. Actually right as i am typing this. I grew up with TOS, TNG, and Voyager but I never actually saw DS9 until now. I’m enjoying it. Jadzia Dax is my favorite. It’s a great show.

      I was trying to find a way of getting Doctor Who in there!

      Although to be fair it’s probably more fantasy.

    Star Trek: TNG is awesome. But most of the franchise is meh and abused.

    Stargate is mostly ok stuff. SG-1 being the goodest part.

    The Star Wars franchise is mostly hot garbage. I liked jedi outcast and the original movies though.

    So I guess the only thing that fits the sentence is ‘gate’
