Written like the original Mass Effect wasn’t full of plot holes, written by horny dude-bros, shrink wrapped female characters made purely for the cishet male gaze, questionable camera angles, nonsensical story in places, god awful script and an ending that is still widely vilified to this day.

It’s still one of my favourite sci-fi game series, but only for the Garrus romance, which bioware made accidentally good, by turning your best friend into a romance option - which they only did under protest. If it wasn’t for Garrus I would have deleted the game years ago and never gone back.

I have zero expectations for this ‘adaptation.’ They’re never going to please everyone, anyway, no matter what they do with it. Amazon would do better putting the money into adapting the rest of the Expanse novels, tbf. And leaving mass effect well alone. It’s a very personal experience and they will only be adapting one very narrow experience into a story for the tv screen. One that will either be laughably horrendous or accused of being too ‘woke’ - whatever people think that word means. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.

I’ll be sitting here with my popcorn.

I’m surprised they went there at all with Duffy, there was zero chemistry between the characters. Whereas the chemistry was off the charts between him and Karla.

i really don’t care for roscoe, but they have to stop pairing him with whoever ‘in-over-her-head-female-law-enforcer’ is next, because that’s what is getting tired, imo.

No one else is going to it it, but it needs to be like Starfield’s Rev-8. Anyone here whose tried that thing, especially clearing out an entire bunker of enemies in low gravity? It’s like The Mako and Halo’s Warthog had a baby. So much fun.

Babylon 5, season 3, episode 10, ‘Severed Dreams’, or episode 20, ‘And the Rock Cried Out No Hiding Place’ deserves to be on this list. If at least one episode of Babylon 5 isn’t here, you don’t know tv Sci-fi as well as you think you do.
