Somewhere in a parallel universe Whedon was allowed to have Firefly run for the seven years he planned on. I need to find that wormhole that will take me to that parallel universe. At least you got Serenity. I had no luck in getting Galactica 1980 to continue with Galactica 1981, or more Manimal: "Manimal is back, and he's more Manimal than ever." Just too much Manimal to handle, I guess. Damned speciesists. Ive always been meaning to give Firefly a proper shot (seen like one episode).

^ Yep, Robert Reed was a highlight. For any badness (and I rather like the badness), it had potential.

While very bittersweet, I loved Picard. It had a heart and it moved me. I thought it to be a very good continuation. I found it heartfelt, poignant, and the way it dealt with frailty and mortality was meaningful.

Other than Twin Peaks: The Return, it's my favourite sort of continuation of an old show (or revival of characters) in recent memory that I can think of.

Watching The Expanse now. Haven't finished/caught up yet.

Has some of the funniest stuff I've seen for a long time and great chemistry between the lead actors. Alex Borstein (playing Mrs Maisel's agent) is the hidden star of the whole thing. Check it out.

Seconded !

Just finished re-watching the first three series of The Bridge. Now got to wait for the BBC to air Series 4 again 

I find The Bridge so very good and yet still have yet to see series four. We had it her on Netflix Canada, but then they removed it. Borgen is one I'm on now (though I'd already seen much of it).

I'm in Canada and my first early 80s computer was a Sinclair (my next computer was a Commodore 64 in maybe 85). School and games, mostly games, and I liked programming.

I like board games and card games. Chess was always my main game. I play with my son, but he, 13, always beats me now. He has become better and I have got worse. And I loved Bridge. I also play Cribbage with the wife now and then.

Other than that, I will happily play a game of Risk now and then, and was quite into D&D when I was young.

I never considered myself to be a real geek due to my less than satisfactory grades in mathematics, and I spent my time in high school hanging out much more with the stoners than the nerds. I would have liked to be in both camps: a doobie in one hand and an advanced calculus book in the other. :)

I wasn't around in the early 80's (my father had a Commodore though) but I'm a programmer, love SF and board games. Speaking of Firefly, I played the board game a few weeks ago. It's always a memorable experience, it makes up for the lack of seasons ;)
