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.

Yes I found it exactly the same, sad to see the aging but happy to see some of the characters on screen again and I also thought it was very well made.

I also enjoyed binge watching just before I watched Picard, ST Discovery.  Season 3 just started here in the US.

I am starting to wonder are all prog fans also SciFi fans?

Yessss....Firefly!  Let's protest until they finally bring it back.....okay so maybe by now that is a bit far fetched, but i can always hope.


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).

I definitely would have enjoyed more of Galactica. Always thought that they should have expanded on Robert Reed's character and made it a recurring role.

Firefly is well-worth watching. Like a lot of the better sci-fi series, it gets better with each episode.

As you like Farscape, have you tried LEXX?

Before joining this forum, I was a member of the Lexx forum (as FunkET just in case anyone from there amazingly stumbles upon this),

No, I haven't. Thanks much for the recommendation! Thumbs Up

I don't currently have Prime, but I want to watch the second season of the Boys when I can. Not finished, it's still going on, but I watched the first episode of the new series of Fargo the other day (season four with Chris Rock),

Yes RBW was quite bleak, but I was determined to stay with it and about half-way through I was completely hooked.  I have The Boys on my must-watch list, but haven't started it yet, but have high expectations, so we'll see.  

I have been a big fan of the Fargo series, but haven't started the new season yet....

It's perverse, dark, funny and sexy. Rather like the debates here on "Which is better, Yes or Genesis?", we would debate "Who is hotter, Zev (Eva Habermann) or Xev (Xenia Seeburg)?" Then there was bowl of goo Zev which got me going.

Just finished the first season of "Raised By Wolves".  Wow!  

The first episode will knock your socks off.  But when you finish it and think back about the first episode, you'll be amazed at the direction the entire series went and you'll realize that first one was only a prelude to what is to come.  Just when you think you know where it's going, it goes somewhere else.  Pretty unpredictable and full of suspense all the way through, especially from episode 5 and beyond.  But by the season finale, you see how most of it all fits together and it leaves you wanting more.  Can't wait for season 2!

In the last two months:
- The West Wing (Superb! A MUST Watch recommendation)
- Scrubs (Still trying to figure out why the end of season eight was touted as a series finale and then they did a season nine which seem to careen off into the weeds from the first eight seasons)
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Chernobyl was excellent, I watched it not long after making this topic.

Most recently I finished watching The Third Day with Jude Law (it's only a six episode miniseries).  And before that Raised by Wolves.

Watched a few excerpts from it on YouTube Wink, pretty interesting. I was actually born and am currently living like 200 km away from Chernobyl. 

What pleased me mostly about the series was that they showed the ordinary and even some not-so-ordinary Soviet people from their positive side, as great, normal, regular, fine persons. 

However, the coal industry minister in real life was a highly respectable person among coal-miners. He was loved by the workers... And those two soldiers with Kalashnikovs... Speaking of some stereotypes.

I finished watching 'His Dark Materials' a while back....very good adaptation of Pullman's first book in the series.
I recommend it. I was a bit disappointed in the film Golden Compass some years back.
