Yes, I'm sure we're talking about the same thing.

Man there's a lot of "lone wolf good guy with crazy deadly skills vs big bad government" stuff at the moment. All with the exact same score apparently.

One of the things I like about The Old Man is that it tells 2 stories, with the other story being about the young man.

Captain Blood did you like Strange New Worlds e8 because you have kids? Or just because?

My kids don't really watch or read any science fiction.
I love the writing, the characters (particularly Ethan Peck), and the CGI. They don't hit it out of the park every time, but it's been a great show, even the ones that are less interesting. I would rate it as good as the original series, certainly better than the next generation.

Did you watch episode 8, with the choice the Dr. had to make? That was why I asked.

They were again BOLD in casting characters, much like in the original series. Uhura was queen, and Dr. was king. Pike was the sniveling weak assistant

I quit watching after the whole barbed-wire bat thing.

Since the beginning I've thought it was a weird Bible analogy. No electricity, no water, no care, but somehow Rick stays alive in a coma?

I think I said this earlier, but Captain Pike reminds me a lot of of John Hamm

I started watching, "Under The Dome" on my Firestick. The premise is interesting and so far it's decent enough to hold my attention. I do find it a bit annoying that none of the deputies in the town wear vests under their uniforms. I've noticed this in a lot of shows. So much for realism.



….or maybe small town law enforcement don't wear vests all of the time?!?!




….and I absolutely hate "click-click" sounds whenever somebody grabs/draws a weapon and/or people who rack the slide on a handgun prior to pointing it at someone. It's just so unrealistic. I know I'm nit-picking though.

This week's Star Trek stranger worlds is a rogue remake of aliens, it would seem. Ballsy.

We started watching this when it came out, kind of Kitchie, like the original but it is now devolving into woke, and bizarre. I think we might be done with it.

I would stick with it. This weeks episode is excellent. I agree that the politics were ackward in the first episode, but this is actually as good as, if not better than, the original series.

Yes
Picard just because we share similar hair patterns. You'd think they could fix that in star date 2419 or so

Hell, I even have watched nearly all of DS9

The Old Man episode 4: Emily/Angela - the most important person in this show (so far).

Watched the whole episode, even though it didn't give me fast forward or rewind. A$$holes.

I watched the first 3 episodes of the Terminal List on Amazon Prime. I think it's really well done.
