Did you watch episode 8, with the choice the Dr. had to make? That was why I asked.

They were again BOLD in casting characters, much like in the original series. Uhura was queen, and Dr. was king. Pike was the sniveling weak assistant

I think I said this earlier, but Captain Pike reminds me a lot of of John Hamm

I started watching, "Under The Dome" on my Firestick. The premise is interesting and so far it's decent enough to hold my attention. I do find it a bit annoying that none of the deputies in the town wear vests under their uniforms. I've noticed this in a lot of shows. So much for realism.

….or maybe small town law enforcement don't wear vests all of the time?!?!

….and I absolutely hate "click-click" sounds whenever somebody grabs/draws a weapon and/or people who rack the slide on a handgun prior to pointing it at someone. It's just so unrealistic. I know I'm nit-picking though.

Attention-

Better call Saul marathon starts Friday on AMC.

That is all, carry on.

Captain Blood · 06-30-2022, 07:42 PM

This week's Star Trek stranger worlds is a rogue remake of aliens, it would seem. Ballsy.

We started watching this when it came out, kind of Kitchie, like the original but it is now devolving into woke, and bizarre. I think we might be done with it.

I would stick with it. This weeks episode is excellent. I agree that the politics were ackward in the first episode, but this is actually as good as, if not better than, the original series.

Yes
Picard just because we share similar hair patterns. You'd think they could fix that in star date 2419 or so

Hell, I even have watched nearly all of DS9

The Old Man episode 4: Emily/Angela - the most important person in this show (so far).

Watched the whole episode, even though it didn't give me fast forward or rewind. A$$holes.

sygazelle · 07-02-2022, 02:38 AM

I watched the first 3 episodes of the Terminal List on Amazon Prime. I think it's really well done.

I'm rewatching The Old Man: episode 4. I was a little under the influence last night and I want to make sure I got it all.

LOL...I was beat down tired and started to fall asleep in the first 15 minutes. I'll have to watch it again too.

Captain Blood · 07-02-2022, 10:00 PM

Spoiler alert, stranger things

Overall it was pretty good, could've been in a half an hour shorter. Kind of disappointing ending. I guess there will be a season five.

stein_325i · 07-02-2022, 10:36 PM

I also just finished Stranger Things. Felt very movie like thanks to the length, although probably could've been shortened up a bit, or split into multiple episodes instead, but I enjoyed it, I do hope they wrap it up next season (which I think they're hinting at a final boss battle) since season 4 was originally supposed to be the final season.

MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW*****

One annoying thing is anytime they kill a main character it tends to be in the season they were introduced so I honestly thought it would really be different for the show to actually kill off Max, as the only reason why they would leave her in a coma would be to maybe revive her next season, but they should take more risks, be like GoT where no character is safe.

These last two episodes were kind of disappointing to me. I feel like the series started off so good - like "Teen Wolf" - but it just became so convoluted over time.

Over the weekend I’ve watched The Undeclared War which is a pommy cyber thrill set in a post-pandemic 2024 in the lead-up to a British general election.

Very well acted and believable show!

T0RM3NT · 07-03-2022, 03:09 PM

Watching the "The Bear" on Hulu. I think it's an FX product. Just finished episode 4 of Season 1 and the dots are starting to really connect now. Pretty damn good show!

The Terminal List with Chris Pratt on Prime was great.
