X-Files did a good job too, there were a lot of shows mid to late 90s that did a great mix of episodic with serial relationships. Monster of the week. Case of the week. Stargate of the week.

I'm kind of confused how Starburst works
I feel like in S1 the implication was that they couldn't control the destination in a Starburst and it's like a defense mechanism of Leviathans
then later it's chosen as an actual form of FTL between two points
did I miss something?
I still don't really like the Earth episodes themselves as they just come off as overly preachy
I do get them from a story point of view of having John get over his initial goal of getting back to Earth, realizing he's changed too much to just accept that and move on. Which all in all makes more sense remembering there was going to be a S5
It's both
I finished my episode and meal. Bumping thread. Which one do you think won? Does it matter? How would you tell? How would you choose?
>spin a top
>watch clock
>Me 1 gets even seconds
>Me 2 gets odd
>only start after 10 seconds of spinning
>Me1 spins once, Me2 spins once. Aeryn spins once - best two out of three.
Wiki says Starburst takes you into 1-D travel. So subspace instead of a wormholes hyperspace or something?

>Also, the direction in which a Leviathan travels depends on its entry vector into one dimensional space-time, but the information that makes up the entry vector is converted into a scalar value in one dimensional space-time, thus making the exit vector a completely random value. Because of this random exit vector, reverse navigation is not as simple as turning the ship around and Starbursting again. The ships pilot must replot an entirely new vector based on their current and previous navigational positions (the latter of which can often be pure speculation and intuition on the pilot's part).
Forgot pic
all things considered I don't know if it would be that great of an idea if the show continued but I'd probably watch it
John-Tan won because he survived to make Aeryn into an honest woman and the mother of his child while John-Black got Nagasaki'd
>Starbust takes you to 1D space
I remember an episode where they get stuck in the middle of a starburst and Moia is basically being pulled in four directions as it exists in four different dimensions at a time. They then have to "starburst back" the way they came from to avoid the ship being completely shattered.
>They then have to "starburst back" the way they came from to avoid the ship being completely shattered.
Checked. And this is true, but a bit off on detail. They didn't "starburst back," they "starburst backwards." I guess the difference between walking backward and turning 180 to walk forward in the opposite direction? And it certainly wasn't pleasant for Moia.
>being pulled in four directions
So maybe the single vector 1-D travel of starburst then turns into the 4-D real-space of X,Y,Z, and time? So being ripped out of it was pulling the single vector in "four" directions?
