Blue starred for outside the box thinking with Futurama, but not choosing Jurassic Bark or Luck of the Fryrish?!

I have never watched The Expanse

Are there episode recommendations for that show?

I've watched the Futurama series countless times.....I've seen Jurassic Bark once and that was enough.

It's a slow burn like "The Wire". Just an outstanding show with excellent plot lines and characters that progress from ep1 to now. I can't pick a particular episode that is head and shoulders above others. Maybe the one that describes how the Epstein drive came into being (S2E6 - Paradigm Shift). Or the one where Miller dies on Eros with the Protomolecule (S2E5). In the current season, S5E4, Gaugamela is the highlight of this season so far.

It starts a bit slow, but it's an excellent series. I would just start at the beginning.

Thank you

I will eventually get to the whole series

But I was looking for episodes for the SciFi Poll I am working on

Need some help from the hive mind to narrow this down for The Expanse: the first six eps of S3 were all insanely great, also S3E11 (the surprise deceleration one) and S5E04.

Season 1 ep 4 - CQB- The Donnager is attacked

Season 5 ep 4- Guagamela- Marco's plan....this may be my favorite in the series

Season 3 finale - Abaddons Gate. Just so damn good.


You might need some context for those episodes to truly hit home. The series premier I think does a phenomenal job of setting the world and the dynamic between Earth, Mars and the Belt to such a great degree.


That said, I will also add, this season (5) is the best one yet.

I want to do this

Do I go to Google forms and just do a quiz?

ST: TOS will always be my favorite sci-fi series for nostalgic, historic, and influential reasons. Gene Roddenberry had plenty of faults, but sci-fi fans and writers owe him a lot for his pioneering vision. It's hard to find something in sci-fi after TOS that wasn't influenced by ST in some way.

That said, there's a lot of dreck in those three seasons to go along with the great episodes. The last season in particular had some real stinkers. Any list of the best sci-fi episodes should include these, though:

Balance of Terror
The City on the Edge of Forever
Mirror, Mirror
The Doomsday Machine
The Trouble With Tribbles

Those are all bona fide classics.
