I can't see anything through these tears. I'm in SFA withdrawl.
im going to be watching tos in about 20 minuts followed by tng.
probably some star trek
Biding my time until Daredevil: Born Again drops season 2.
And waiting on For All Mankind season 5, but the trailer for it really didn't do anything for me so I'm not as pumped about its return as I've been in prior years.
If there's no new Trek, that means watching old Trek, right?
Trying to finish my full in-universe chronological franchise re-watch for the 60th anniversary, which means an average of maybe 75 minutes of watching Trek per day through September 8 if I want to get it to line up. I started back in April 2024, but there's a lot of Trek out there, and I'm already falling behind. (Ideally it would've been 58 minutes per day. This includes watching some episodes multiple times if they take place in multiple time periods.)
For what it's worth, we'll arguably get some new Trek soon whenever the "season finale" of Scouts comes out. 😂 Only one episode left if they don't get renewed.
Wow, "full in-universe chronological franchise re-watch"? I'd need a spreadsheet for that, and at that point it'd feel like work more than pleasure 😆 So do time travel episodes like "Time's arrow" and "Past tense" enter first according to year, then I guess The voyage home, First contact and all of Enterprise?
I'd think that time travel episodes should be considered based on what time the crew is coming from, instead of where they go. So Voyage Home is still between STIII and STV, and First Contact is between Generations and Insurrection.
This will lead to minor troubles, mainly with Enterprise, since it has a few references to First Contact and The Tholian Web.
Also there's that one far future episode of Voyager where a copy of the Doctor has to clear Voyager's name, which doesnt involve time travel and must therefore be watched between seasons 2 and 3 of Discovery.
Right, so you don't watch "The trouble with Tribbles" and "Trials and Tribble-ations" one after the other? Because I'm always tempted to 😃
I'm late to the party, but started Starfleet Academy last weekend and am up to episode 8. Absolutely loving it and regret not watching it as it aired so I could gush about it with the rest of you all. That also caused me to miss the AMA with Karim, and that saddens me more than you can ever know.
Trying to stretch those out, so mixing in some backlog of Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, and The Golden Girls. As soon as I have the time and attention span to start another new series, I'm gonna watch A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
What's your favorite episode so far and why is it episode 4 and 5 combined?
Definitely those two. Ep. 4 and the Klingon's space play-fight with the Federation over the planet so they could "conquer" it was as adorable as it was believable. After 900 years, losing their homeworld, and nearly going extinct, they still hold on to their code of honor which is the only thing they really have left. Incredibly well done.
As for ep 5, I always shed a tear of happiness when a later series revisits DS9.
I rewatched a few SFA episodes while waiting for the following one. It's so good, it really bears repeat viewings.
Thank you for being a friend.
Skip Intro?
How dare you, Netflix?!
I don't know, maybe I'll give Babylon 5 another watch. It's been a while.
I’m on a rewatch of some other Roddenberry goodness, Earth: Final Conflict. I’m in season 2 now.
Non negligible amounts of plot holes looking back (and even at the time) but on the whole it holds up. I’m mostly watching it on a phone and I’m impressed at how good it still looks (most of the time).
I loved Earth Final Conflict season 1. Total X-files vibes. Very mysterious and cool.
Season two was... fine. I genuinely can't believe it went on for three more after that.
If memory serves it started great with season 1, got gradually worse through early season 4, made a shocking comeback in terms of quality for the rest of the season, and then took a nose-dive with season 5. I'm curious how that ends up matching up with your viewing.
This is my memory as well, except not so gradually after S1.
I always assumed Da'an's name was spelled D'on, and I thought it'd be fun if all alien names were just common names with a glottal stop. Fr'ank. Ge'orge. B'arry.
New head canon, La'an from SNW is actually called Lon.
I’m watching Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (M:LOM) which is in the midst of its second season on AppleTV.
And…my partner finally conceded to give the show a try. So, I’m rewatching season one with them. They say, based on being in the middle of season one that it’s the thing they’re enjoying most on tv just now.
While M:LOM does have creatures and kaiju battles, like the best Star Trek, the show’s emphasis is on its diverse characters and their stories.
The show has all the high quality we’ve come to expect of both AppleTV and Legendary Entertainment (Dune) science fiction productions.
M:LOM is designed as an entry point for those unfamiliar with the Monsterverse continuity or the 70+ year Godzilla franchise more generally. The action shifts back and forth between telling the stories of two generations: one in the mid 2010s and the other in the 1950s. It works well as it comes together at the end of season one.
If the show works for you, please check out our newest community https://startrek.website/c/monsterverse.
Oh, that's another show I'm holding out on watching until the current season is finished airing.
I sort of liked the first season despite the heavy "daddy issue" trope. I was hoping that would decrease with that s1 ending,
but
looks like Kurt Russell is still in the cast?
Season two is interesting.
Among other things, the two youngest Randas are in very contrasting places psychologically since Kentaro has had two years between seasons while Cate is dealing with the reality that others have had time to move on psychologically and she has not. (I really like season two Kentaro.)
Interesting. But I'm also curious about the new kaiju you wrote about over in the Godzilla community. Metaphor for manmade climate change, huh?
I was going to watch it but I got sick of Apple putting a teaser before every other episode I watched like for a whole week and I got sick of it. you just showed to me 40 minutes ago. do you really have to show it to me again? so annoying.
It sounds like you might prefer to wait until the season is over and binge it.
The teasers and featurettes are the way Apple tries to create social media buzz rather than relying on the YouTubers to manufacture their own trailers.
That’s happening anyway, and there’s a it of AI slop. For those who want that stuff, my preference is to post the official ones.
Going through a Star Trek Voyager rewatch from the beginning. I’ve done this with TNG and DS9 a couple of times and constantly rewatch those episodes. I’ve only gone through Voyager once and I don’t rewatch it much, so it’s kind of newish to me again.
Other than that, reading my Star Trek novels from the thrift store and borrowing Blu-rays from the library to rip into my collection. I really want to do a watch of X-Files again!
I'm not going to lie, to me X-files aged even worse than most Star trek shows. Or more to the point, the real world fully embraced the show's conspiracy theory, suspiciousness of government, and tinfoil hattery.
I can't look at Fox Mulder anymore and not see some Alex Jones nutter with an IRL following that sucks up his ravings... 🙃
I get where you are coming from, but I have too many good childhood memories of watching both shows with my family. I refuse to let some chodes ruin it for me. X-Files was the weekly thing to sit down and all watch together.
Don’t let the dumb dumbs ruin things things you enjoy 💚
One of our kids recently suggested doing a TNG or Voyager rewatch again with me. It may be time.
Both are absolutely worth it!
Our youngest just did a TNG rewatch a couple of months ago so I think I’ll go for Voyager instead.
I think tonight is going to be a Tron Legacy kind of night. I have phases where I watch it at least once a week and I think I’m entering one of those phases now.
The Scrubs revival is surprisingly good, picking up like there hasn't been a 15-year gap since season 8*.
*Season 9 has been memory-holed.
I've only seen the first two episodes of the revival, but agreed. It's pretty fantastic, has the same feel but also fresh at the same time.
It's been so long since the last season of the original run (clearly season 8) that instead of hearing Sarah Chalke as Elliott Reed I hear her as Beth ~~Sanchez~~ Smith (who is also a doctor). It makes her and JD's divorced couple snarking sound like Beth and Jerry .
I'm not watching anything 😭 have to use the time slot for exercise instead now.
The recumbent stationery exercise bike in our family room is the reason I watch as much television as I do.
It’s not intense exercise but it really adds up.
