Often called the no-budget Star-Trek, even though it's more like the Dirty Dozen, but they're right about the no-budget part. Man, this brings back memories.
Anyhoo... all four seasons are available here:

I'm hoping this is on Youtube to stay. Otherwise catch it while you can.
What was your favorite episode? The dystopian tone of the series. The campyness. The cast. What was remarkably inventive, considering the abysmal budget? Discuss it here.
No religion for me thank you very much; I 'm full of shit enough as it is.

Being flabbergasted about existence never made anyone disappear in a poof of flabbergas, so nevermind why we're here. We ARE here.

I haven't seen the series yet, but plan to. I like the campiness and costumes. Thanks! Solitary
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

God doesnt exist, but if he did id tell him to ''Fuck Off''

Haven't see it, but I've seen it listed someplace lately and wondered what it was.  It might have been on Amazon Prime.  What the Hell.  I'll check it out if it's easily available.  Is it one of those "so bad it's good" things, or is the more to it than that?

According to the wiki some would say there is, and I can see why. The 1984-like dystopian universe. Strong female characters. It was the first sci-fi series to have a meta-story running throughout the series. A formula other sci-fi shows would later copy. So craptastic as it was, it also blazed a trail or two.
