The Sci-Fi Thread

[Glow]

The Expanse, on SyFy, is probably the closest to things like B5 or BSG.  Neo-space opera set in a futuristic solar system.  It got great reviews and has been picked up for a second season.  Although it takes a couple episodes to get into because there are a bunch of characters in different locations and it has a bit of an issue with spaceship interiors and uniforms looking kinda samey.

I've also heard good things about Stranger Things on Netflix, which is on my to-watch list.  It's apparently sort of an homage to the X-Files and 80s horror shows.

Update:  So I watched the first ep of Stranger Things.  It's like they put every 80s Stephen King trope into a blender, along with a bit of ET and Poltergeist.  And I actually mean that in a good way.  It was really fun, and I'll definitely be watching more.

Watched all the stranger things episodes in 2 sittings. Lol
I think it's goonies, fire starter, et and the x files mixed together. Soooo good.

I'm currently rewatching voyager and keep thinking the Borg is basically a social memory complex in the physical realm.
