Ha ha, my friend and I once got roped into a Babylon 5 game. Neither of us had ever seen the show. I still have never seen it. The ref said it wouldn't matter. Gave us pregenerated characters and had a railroad all planned. Knowing the show mattered. A lot. We were utterly confused. I got stuck with a gambler and thought, well, okay, on a space station that should be okay. So of course the railroad took us to some nowhere planet fighting some aliens for unknown reasons. And I had zero fighting or survival skills. But I sure could cut a deck of cards!
If you like science-fiction, you should really watch Babylon 5. It's "What if we mash together The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with The Lensmen Saga, and set it on a space station?" The first season can be very dull at times, but some of it also sets up the pay-off in the later seasons.
