If the show ends up holding my interest I will check out a reunion movie or three. Don't they get married in one of them?
^The final reunion movie, Bionic Ever After?, revolves around the nuptials of Steve and Jaime. It's the only one of the revival movies that's just about them rather than trying to be a backdoor pilot for a new generation of bionic characters.
DWF came up with a pretty good list, although I would add the Bionic Woman two -parter, "Doomsday is Tommorrow"to it.
As for "essential" episodes, the thing to remember here is that these shows were made when TV was largely episodic in nature, so there's very little continutiy from episode to episode. So, if you're concerned that you will miss important plot points, don't be. The continuity here comes from the fact that certain episodes in both series are direct sequels to others.
This is one of the things that makes me less of a fan of shows from this time period. I am aware that there is little continuity but I wanted to make sure I hit the high points and didn't miss anything that set up something later, such as a sequel episode.
American television in the next decade started to trend away from the procedurals (Miami Vice anyone?), which I enjoy, but is nothing compared to the post-Buffy method of television we take for granted today (a natural evolution of the things DS9 did).
DWF included Tomorrow is Doomsday is this a different episode with a name so similar as to be confusing?
Well, the trend toward serialized drama outside of soap operas began with Hill Street Blues, of course. And Babylon 5 probably deserves at least some credit for pioneering the season-arc structure that's become standard now.
No, he just got the name wrong.
Oh. I didn't see that. No, the correct title is "Doomsday is Tommorrow". It's a 2-parter. DWF must have just rememebered wrong or something.
I always forget about Babylon 5 because I never ended up watching it, mostly for the same reasons I missed out on the bulk of DS9 and Voyager. Recently moved out on my own and had the whole "adult" thing to deal with and all that. Thankfully, I got over all that.
Ah, okay. There's no telling since this was the seventies and all. Those wacky seventies writers...
No, I listed it as a two parter.
Don't knock 'em. TV writers had talent back then.
Really? Because I watched Battlestar Galactica. lol I kid, that show had some pretty good episodes.
I'll be getting onto this once I finish season 4 of 24. That show is so damn addicting...
