In the late 90s-early 00s, there was a lot of interesting and original space opera:
- Babylon 5
- Stargate SG-1
- Farscape
- Andromeda
- Firefly
As time goes on, it’s been getting harder and harder to find space opera that isn’t Star Wars or Star Trek, and I find myself mining B movies to scratch that itch.
I’m not complaining. People can do a lot when they’re not beholden to the likes of Disney or Paramount.
