Alright gang. I have managed to connect to the multi dimensional VPN. I can now download you TV shows or movies that dont exist in our reality from other dimensions. Hit me up with your favorite shows that almost existed or got cancelled early. Personally, i cant wait to watch season 2 of firefly. And maybe figure out where TF stargate universe and stargate atlantis were going with their next seasons.

A Country Practice S15 please

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Oh dear. If you used to watch this show, don't look up its IMDB. 90% of them are dead. 😒

Nah it went shit after Molly died.

True. Plus Fatso #3 was a jerk.

I'm an idiot

  • Babylon 5 - 5 seasons, actual start/middle/end to the narrative, and amazingly progressive for it's time. Ivana was my TV crush.
  • Farscape - because it's fun and cool, and has Claudia Black (another childhood crush of mine 😍😍)
  • Stargate SG1- because it's amazing
  • The Mummy 1 and 2 - they're fun, silly, and Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are hot πŸ₯΅πŸ”₯
  • Steven Universe - it's a beautiful show, about trauma and acceptance, and it's kid appropriate. The art style, the stories, I just adore it.
  • Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - the actors and actresses are phenomenal, the story is amazing, and they cancelled it after 2 seasons πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
  • Freaks and Geeks - old but gold if you can get over young James Franco's punchable face lol
  • Firefly - because it's Firefly
  • Surface (2005/6) - one season, 15 EPs. Cancelled. It was really fucking cool ffs

My actual answer:

  • Dead Like Me - needed more seasons dammit and the premise is cool af

You're not an idiot. There are some solid requests there!!!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Definitely putting Seasons 2-10 of Firefly on the list.
The book-accurate version of the later Game of Thrones series, please (and I'll take the completed eBooks of ASOIAF while you're at it).
And there's an error with the final episode of Star Trek Enterprise in our reality. Can you grab the real one without the stupid stuff ours had, please?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

easy on that last one. I really like the refit of the NX01 in the following 2 seasons as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm talking about the final episode of the whole series - S04E22 "These are the Voyages" specifically. It had the establishment of the Federation, with the founding species etc. That part was great. There was a silly cross-over with the TNG holodeck though, and there was a thing with Trip that must have been some historical inaccuracy with the holodeck record, because it was beyond stupid scriptwriting otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

We're not supposed to talk about that episode. We're meant to enjoy the rest of the seasons and wish for more.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh heck yes. Seeing those void cities (or whatever they were called) take on the magnatar vessel for the sol system, bobbie going down guns blazing! the Siege of Liconia. all woulda been amazing to see.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

The whole occupation of Medina would have been great!! I loved S1 on Ceres for the atmosphere, and can only imagine they could so much more with a proper budget.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Yes! Cover the rest of the book series!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Can you get Game of Thrones from a dimension where George RR Martin actually finished the books?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

no seeders sadly. Turns out Martin did a rushjob just as bad as the boys did in our universe.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Damn. I'll have to go for more seasons of Warehouse 13. Or for Warehouse 14, as I think 13 was destroyed at the end of the series.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I’d actually see somebody make something out of the Tuf stories

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Season 3-5 of Carnivale pls.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Please don't tease me on all those shows, I literally had a wave of sadness. And if they don't exist in my places I know you're lying :'(

Any more Breaking Bad, that doesn't invalidate or ruin what we already have?

I would like more Babette’s Feast in some form please

Also someone to take on Tim Powers properly, either Declare or Last Call (less fussed about the related books)

More A Stitch through time

More Trapdoor

Tanith Lee’s Don’t Bite the Sun would be difficult and expensive, but probably worth it

And undead Anthony Bourdain
