Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

[dogscoff]

I remeber the Last episode had a peace treaty where Aerotech and the Chigs were going to be shown to have some connection but that is as far as I recall. Anyone clarify this?

Uhhh... vaguely. I had something to do with the Chigs have originated on Earth before humans arrived and/ or evolved there, so they thought they hasd a claim to it.
There was something about treacherous peace-treaty negotiations as well, probably in the same episode, but it was along time ago and I never watched that show sober.

Actually, despite all my whingings about S:A&B, one thing I did like was the fact that very little was known about the Chigs. You never saw under their armour and only at the very end of the series did anyone successfully communicate with them. That was good, and probably quite realistic. If we ever do meet alien life forms it will be very difficult to learn to talk to them. .

really? strange how the CHigs originated on Earth when they couldn't breathe oxygen or something.

I liked the spaceships in S:ABAB. The carriers I thought looked very cool and the hammerhead fighter were well groovy with those rear cannon

Anyone see those two episodes with Chiggy Von Richtofen?

One of my favorite DS9 episodes was when Q shows up on the station.
Q: "You hit me! Picard never hit me!
Cisco: "I am NOT Picard!

Not only was that a very funny line, it had a dark undertone because at the time Cisco was very much still blaming Picard for the death of his wife at Wolf 359. That was one of the best things about DS9 was the characters had so much depth. The writing on that show was just so much better than any other Trek.

Like I say, I was drunk. I think it was something to do with bacteria floating around on rocks in space... the bacteria that evolved into Chigs started on an Earth rock, and the human bacteria originated on Mars.
I think. Maybe. I dunno. It all sounds about right, but it would have been about '97 I saw this, and at the time reeling under the appalling hallucinatory influence of student homebrew lager. That's the Last time I watched any S:A&B though.

I remember them looking like modern aircraft carriers in dumped space. I was surprised they bothered taking the propellors & rudders off. Still, no accounting for taste...

I suspect your homebrew was made out of head and shoulders shampoo and washing up liquid.

and I LIKED THE CARRIERS, they looked like chunky mean rectangular things with a rear bridge and stacks of cannon and rocket launchers... and this critcism from a man who thinks spaceships have horns and dragonheads...

lord knows when you will do a Captain Pugwash or Noggin the Nog race

So Farscape gets cancelled, but somehow Lexx continues to live. Life is unfair.
