Feel free to have a look at
Just finished the latest season of Rings of Power, honestly can’t fault this season really, it’s been to a pretty high standard all through
Futurama. Since the revival the episodes have been pretty hit and miss, but I really enjoyed the latest episode!
About half way through the first season of Star Trek Discovery.
My head hurts just thinking about that
Why?
Discovery is more about spectacle and fighting and violence and giving you a seizure with all the CGI effects. Just like the terrible Picard series. It’s not really Star Trek
I’m actually enjoying a little more adventure. I’ve pretty much been watching them in order (almost, but I went Voyager > Enterprise, and did not watch DS9). I like that things aren’t just “problem of the week” and episodes are a big part of the overarching story. I don’t like how everything is so dramatic all the time (seems like a theme of modern-era shows, not just Star Trek), but I do love getting to see epic starship battles in a much more dramatic way than they’ve shown them in the past. I like the idea of the captain being like “x take out their engines, y find us an opening, z get ready to go to warp” - these are bridge officers, so they know how to do it, as long as they know what to do. I guess Voyager had some of that, but it seemed better executed on here.
Also, I love the idea of a mycelium network going through space. It’s a cool idea and I like the departure from the simple warp drive cannon.
It’s interesting because of the departures they took, especially with the technology looking as it does but being pre-TOS (or was it pre-TNG?) and the Klingons being completely bald instead of amazing curly locks, but it’s a refreshing take and I’m enjoying it.
Watched Pink Floyd Pulse concert. Despicable me 4. Multiple episodes of Gilligan’s Island. Multiple episodes of Thundarr the Barbarian.
Thunder had some next level writing for a cartoon.
After Thundarr dispatches multiple enemies attacking a town… Townfolk ask.
“What matter of man are you?”
Thundarr answers
“FREE!”
Last night we watched Hayride to Hell and the new Salem’s Lot movie. The rest of the week was spent still trying to get thru Grimm.
We just finished An American Werewolf in London tonight. I haven’t watched it in probably 30+ years. Hubby had never seen it. It held up as entertaining!
Mindhunter on Netflix. I’m hooked!
An old musical: 1776. I have that memorized!
- Taskmaster: series 18 has been great so far. My wife is loving it because she says Jack Dee and I both have the same reaction to things.
- The Great British Bake Off: as good as always
- School Spirits: it was okay. I’d rather watch Ghosts any day. (British or American version)
- Haikyu!!: my daughter just started playing volleyball at school, so I’ve been watching this with her. This is my second watch and it’s still great.
My wife and I have been watching Columbo all week. It might be my wife’s favorite show. They have watched all of it multiple times.
지옥에서 온 판사 new fun K drama
also tons of Animal Planet. My Cat From Hell and Life Among Lions are great!
also recently started Star Trek Lower Decks and am loving it
I rewatched Kingsman Secret Service earlier this week and holy crap I forgot just how good that film is. Brilliant pacing, great subversion of expectations and probably the most fun fight scenes of any film I’ve seen.
The Gentlemen is pretty dope.
