Strange new Worlds. I think it's the best Star Trek series since the original. I don't think the casting is particularly great, but Anson Mount makes up for it. Like William Shatner was born to be Captain Kirk, Anson Mount was born to be Captain Pike.

    I'm still trying to figure out why kirks brother is being shoehorned in. Most of his season one scenes had him just standing there. He was even knocked out 5 minutes into a mission. I love the "holodeck" they use for set extensions, definitely better than any green/blue screen from previous series. At least brother-Kirk is getting more to do in season 2.

    They Cloned Tyrone is a surprise for me. Great modern scifi/blaxploitation film, though I have about 30 minutes left to finish.

    Finally finding the time to finishAndor and what the fuck?! How is it so good???

    Andor is SOOOOO GOOD. Andy Serkis straight up made me cry. (I have the last couple of episodes still to go so no spoilers pls lol)

    But the characters, the writing, the acting, the storylines and the theeeeeemmes omg. It's like a dramatic embodiment of Seeing Like a State.

    I've been binging Lower Decks and looking forward to the new season, it's really a solid show and is definitely more than it seems.

    Please do watch the expanse 😉 but the first season can be a little slow at least the first half of the season.

    Yup can confirm. I after the last season of the expanse, I really had to just read novels. Me who hardly read books after age of 25. It's just so good. Expanse physics is relatively speaking so realistic. No magical convinient inertia or gravity.

    I just started The Expanse and also just learned it got cancelled. I'm hoping by the time i finish it it'll be picked back up.

    It was canceled by Syfy, but then picked back up by Amazon. I haven't finished it myself yet but I'm pretty sure they ended the show. That's different from getting cancelled.

    The problem is that the show ends before the end in the books. There's still material for other 3 seasons I think.

    Mid-way through the second series of Dark. It is consuming me. It's so well done, there's not even time to consider plot holes.

    Started watching Farscape. I've only seen season 1 when it aired in Finland the first time. It's stuck with me ever since and while it certainly has a lot of problems, it holds up quite well as a camp scifi action show.

    I'm watching Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I don't know how I missed this back in 2008. It's real good.

    I've been working my through TNG. Watching every episode in order for the first time. I've always loved the show, but I only used to catch random episodes when they'd come on TV as a kid. Been slowly working my way through all of Trek for about two years. I started with ToS and it's movies, then watched The Animated Series.

    Strange New Worlds, I've been watching as new episodes release, but when I heard the praise for the Lower Decks crossover, I decided to start and finish Lower Decks before I catch up on SNW. I'm about halfway through the second season of Lower Decks right now.

    Discovery almost killed my interest in New Trek, but man the Orville and SNW really revived my love of Star Trek.

    Once I finish Lower Decks, I'll get back up to date with SNW and keep working through TNG. Once I finish TNG, I think I'm gonna start Picard.

    Oh, and I've also been keeping up with Futurama and recently watched Hello Tomorrow! And The Big Door Prize on Apple TV. They were both okay.

    Two episodes from finishing Silo. It's a solid 7/10 for me, so far.

    Currently in the middle of season 3 of that 90s sci-fi show Sliders. The theme definitely, to me, goes from amazing in seasons 1 & 2 to what feels like more of a campy and more generic theme, but so far I am still enjoying the show.

    Foundation and a re-watch of Rebels (so good!)

    I’ve been watching Star Wars Rebels slowly over the last few months. I’m currently part way through season 4 and it’s some of the best Star Wars I’ve watched. Such a great series that I think some people won’t watch because they think it’s a “kid’s show”. I’ll have it done before Ahsoka starts next month and I’m glad I finally watched it.

    And Chopper is by far my favourite character.
