Edit: It's my own fault for not clarifying, but the reason Post Earth is in quotation marks doesn't denote the future, but a scifi setting where humanity from Earth branches outward.
I miss when sci fi was allowed to be goofy and weird and long running, with a lot of daily life plots and silly costumes and fun real sets.
nowadays it's trying so hard to be prestige television, and intelligent, without realizing that the best sci fi could be that AND ridiculous. it's all CGI and brooding and people being sad on sad looking gray planets.
I also dislike how modern sci fi is dystopian this, dystopian that.
you know, farscape is technically a dystopia, but it still let itself be a fun one.
If tumblr had been around when Babylon 5 first aired, I swear this website would have been obsessed with Londo and G'Kar.
Listen. LISTEN. They are bound by fate. They circle each other like binary stars. When they're around each other, they flare like comets that get to close to the sun. They may well be destined to crush all life between them with the intensity of their will.
Tumblr would not have been normal about them, and I would have been HERE for it.
