I don't consider anything after Star Trek (1966-69) and Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) to be Star Trek (Yes, even Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn), Lower Decks gets a pass due to the satirical nature of the show.Lot of truth here. I might have to give Lower Decks a try :/ RE: [ACT] What shows have you been watching? - Oedipussy Rex - 09-16-2021 It skewers every incarnation of the Star Trek IP, from Star Trek to Star Trek: Discovery, although I couldn't say how much of the later shows as I haven't seen all that much of them, so many references doubtlessly go over my head. RE: [ACT] What shows have you been watching? - rredmond - 09-16-2021 I watched all of TOS, several times. I've seen every movie with the original cast... I'm not sure I've seen any of the newer movies. I've seen a couple of the cartoons. I've seen all of TNG at least once - great series, not really ST to me, but I enjoyed it and put it in the same universe. I've seen a bunch of DS9 episodes, some of the Voyager stuff, and probably zero of any other series except for, of course, Starship Exeter! ![]() RE: [ACT] What shows have you been watching? - Oedipussy Rex - 09-23-2021 Only read a couple arcs of Y: The Last Man but I don't remember Yorick being the whiny loser that he is so far in the new series. New episodes of DC Super Hero Girls have dropped! Finished in an evening. Not a big deal considering each episode is only 11 minutes or so. RE: [ACT] What shows have you been watching? - Kersus - 10-07-2021 I like all six ST movies, yes... even V. After that I care much less. DC Super Hero Girls has more? I will have to acquire them. I really like shows that are short. Even the 60s Spiderman was a lot of split episodes of 12 minutes each. You can tell a fun story in 10-12 minutes. In fact, most hour long shows could easily boil down to 12 minutes and miss very little. Been watching Heels, Ted Lasso and The Goes Wrong Show. Heels was a bit of a surprise. Ted Lasso an even more feel-good surprise and my gosh, The Goes Wrong Show is some of the best TV I've seen in ages. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9860664/ RE: [ACT] What shows have you been watching? - Oedipussy Rex - 10-09-2021 Squid Game What the...?!? RE: [ACT] What shows have you been watching? - Oedipussy Rex - 01-02-2022 Let's see, There's the new Ming-na Wen series starring Ming-na Wen and some Maori asshole who keeps trying to steal the spotlight from Ming-na Wen. Apparently the premiere episode received mixed, but overall favorable, reviews. No doubt because of the limited Ming-na Wen screen time. Finished The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Actually pretty good. Surprisingly nuanced for a comic book show. And containing an unsurprising lack of nuance. The Wheel of Time was a bit of a letdown for me. To cover the amount they did in only eight episodes required paring everything down to the point where if I weren't familiar with the story (even if it has been, what? twenty-five, thirty years since I read the first book) I doubt I'd understand what was happening. More than that, though, I wonder how much of a budget they had. And I hate the casting for Perrin. The third and final season of Hanna has been released. For what it was, it wasn't bad, if a little derivative of the Bourne Ultimatum and the like, but for what the movie and first season were, well, let's just say that seasons two and three were a bit of a left turn for me. Season two of The Witcher is available, so I'll probably binge that in the next few days. Likely after I watch Kate, the Mary Elizabeth Winstead remake of the 1950 Edmond O'Brien noir, D.O.A. I wonder if they keep the "luminous toxin". RE: [ACT] What shows have you been watching? - Oedipussy Rex - 01-05-2022 In eight episodes, The Witcher season 2, told a deep, complex story, while building a world of intrigue with a rich, detailed history. Unlike some other fantasy series I've seen recently. Or maybe I'm just a simpleton easily distracted by a shiny. RE: [ACT] What shows have you been watching? - Oedipussy Rex - 01-10-2022 Eight more episodes of Leverage: Redemption. More of the same. Saw that Beth Reisgraf directed a couple/few episodes, which is not all that surprising: Alan Alda directed some M.A.S.H.; Patrick Stewart did some Next Generation; Noah Wile is well known for directing shows he stars in, including this one. RE: [ACT] What shows have you been watching? - Oedipussy Rex - 01-14-2022 Hawkeye starring Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld with Vera Farmiga. It was very good. Often followed comic book logic, but did it well. Also: I don't know why I keep misspelling Noah Wyle's name. |
