ckn Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Watched S3 ep1 of Star Trek Discovery. It’s turned into a remake of Andromeda with a bit less cheese. I guess the Roddenberry stuff has to be wrung out a bit further. I didn’t mind Andromeda, it was just too squeaky in its morals. I sincerely hope this doesn’t go that way. What really annoyed me about S2 was the over-dramatic scenes. e.g. the last episode full of standing around in mutual admiration while explosions In space probably meaning lots of people dying in the background. And... if they killed the evil AI, why did they still need to go into the future? And why were they still going there anyway even when they knew the AI was onboard? 1 "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt; run in little circles, wave your arms and shout" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the summary of my 2020. Just had Pate aux Fois Gras. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Currently working my way through a re-watch of Lexx. Seasons 1-3 are on Amazon. I started season 4 (which is not on Amazon, but watchable on a free, ad-supported service) last night, and there is a cameo appearance by Craig Charles and Hattie Hayridge, who were making 'Red Dwarf' at the time.

DavidM Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Started series two of The Alienist last night . After series one was around a serial killer killing and mutilating boy prostitutes , this one is heading into murdering babies territory . Strong stuff but compelling viewing with our heroic trio of investigators on the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep1673 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I do not watch the BBC Death to all News thread anymore, all it talks about is how many people are supposed to be dying of Covid-19 while the reporters are nice & safe.

I despair I find it upsetting how shockingly bad people's geography knowledge on quiz shows is, especially that about their own country. I remember once seeing one and the question was to name a city in Spain and the contestant said France... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first contestant was a middle age Scottish chap who knew that Berwick on Tweed was near the border with Scotland and thought it was in Norfolk. The second answer came from a 20ish year old female who admitted she hadn’t a clue about her own country’s geography. Hopefully neither work for Royal Mail.
