6Foot2 Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Star Trek Discovery..looks quite interesting. But since when was Michael a girls name!!! Since 15 January 1945. Link: Princess Michael of Kent 3
mavhc Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Since 15 January 1945. Link: Princess Michael of Kent Well, since 1978 anyway. People say this ST:D show isn't really Star Trek, not sure why, it has exploding consoles, terrible physics, ponderous dialog.
LeMarchand Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 People say this ST:D show isn't really Star Trek, not sure why, it has exploding consoles, terrible physics, ponderous dialog. I've only seen the first ep, but I'm not getting these complaints, either.
phreak Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Tried out the first episode of Star Trek Discovery. I was never a huge trekkie so I am not precious about the Roddenberry Star trek universe, and so I personally don't have an issue with the Klingons being so far removed in looks from the original. For now I will say that it has piqued my interest, so I will continue to watch it.
CAWJames Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 To be honest, the Klingons from TOS and the Klingons from TNG were worlds apart(no ridges, never quite explained, although tribbles...) Liked it too, and I am quite a fan of ST as a whole. Seems first 2 were a prequel, "hey we've got some big name actors, but we are going to kill them, then next week we will turn into a new kind of show with new known actors" Time...will...tell
Norphy Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 (no ridges, never quite explained, although tribbles...) See Enterprise episodes Affliction and Divergence. Also a better synopsis than I can be bothered to write: Klingon augment virus | Memory Alpha | FANDOM powered by Wikia It's a shame that Enterprise got cancelled after S4 really. S4 had quite a lot of strong episodes but by then, the damage had been done.
Simcfc73 Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Zoo...I have never rolled my eyes and uttered FFS whilst watching a tv show so much. Its silly season ever episode.
unixman_again Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Starting Wednesday on the Horror Channel - Lost In Space A remix of Revolt Of The Androids - my fav episode
pooley Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Suits, yep I know I'm about 7 series behind, but it's quite good.
sparkeh Posted October 3, 2017 Author Posted October 3, 2017 Curb is back and just as good. Leon is a best character ever (apart from maybe Krazee Eyez)
SpuffMonkey Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Curb is back and just as good. Leon is a best character ever (apart from maybe Krazee Eyez) Its pret-tay PRET-TAY good 1
CAWJames Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 3rd episode Star Trek Discovery, begrudgingly liked it. Thought it was going to be "monster of the week", but turns out it's an arc, which is nice. Much prefer the treks when they hit big story arcs, big fan of DS9 and the Dominion War arc
CAWJames Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Z Nation Hmmm - Interesting If you are referring to the first episode of the new series, I agree, "interesting" If you are referring in general, then yes quite enjoyable in a turn your brain off, weird ball of zombie kind of way
witch Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I was indeed referring to the new series - but I LOVE the show anyway.
Norphy Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 3rd episode Star Trek Discovery, begrudgingly liked it. Thought it was going to be "monster of the week", but turns out it's an arc, which is nice. Much prefer the treks when they hit big story arcs, big fan of DS9 and the Dominion War arc At this point, is it worth splitting off Discovery into its own thread? The fourth episode was ok, they’re obviously setting things up but I felt a bit nonplussed at the end of it. It also has shades of the Voyager two parter, Equinox
admars Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Electric Dreams Ep1 was ok, ep2 was good, Ep3, The Commuter starring Timothy Spall was brilliant. You can tell it's a good show when afterwards you have a discussion about what was going on, don't think we've done that since Black Mirror

It also has shades of the Voyager two parter, Equinox 4 was a bit meh, they did gloss over the whole "lets hook up a species we freely admit to having never seen before to some computers and hey presto satnav super computer" explaining it away with the Glen already solved that one! Although cool spinny ship! Not sure I like the new Klingons, they remind me of romulans/remans from the reboot movies. They seem more calculating than war like, I like my Klingons to slam down flagons of blood wine, and make a decision on a whim, because glory of war.
HarryMonkey Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Just caught up with James May, The Reassembler, series 1, fascinating as well as funny. Now to find series 2. For those (like me) not familiar with it, James reassembles three items from their smallest component parts ... a Suffolk Colt petrol lawnmower, a Bakelite telephone and an electric guitar.
DalekSec Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Finished watching Peep Show! Seen the various episodes over the years but I've binged the 9 series over the last couple weeks. If you like cringe comedy look no further! Does mean i'm after a new series to binge... to keep me going to the Doctor Who Xmas special!

LeMarchand Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Does mean i'm after a new series to binge... to keep me going to the Doctor Who Xmas special! How do you feel about fantasy-comedy-musicals.? Will we have to agree to disagree? Or normal but somewhat risqué musicals? Fairly sure this one isn't too naughty (unlike most of the songs in the show). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elrDmZxtLtU More conventionally, also enjoying Lucifer, Lethal Weapon and many more. Oooh! Did you watch Utopia?

Looks like series 2 is on iPlayer (or at least the first 2 episodes are).
