I’m watching nip/tuck on hulu as a nostalgia trip. I’m on the last season and it’s plots have become even more ridiculous but its still mildly entertaining.
Yeah DS9 is peak for me for sure. TNG will always be my first love, but DS9 is like the deeper gourmet experience.
Although, I will let you know that I am currently enjoying Strange New Worlds. It has more of that fun and optimism of the old series that NuTrek seemed to think it was too cool for.
I’m sure I will try SNW again in the future. I watched the first five episodes and couldn’t get into it. Seemed like, Marvel-fied dialogue on old Trek. Not bad, just that I’m pretty over that style of aside-heavy quip dialogue that never relents.
You should check out The Wonders of the Universe with Brian Cox (no, the other one).
It’s probably one of the best limited series about the universe I’ve seen. Only time I’ve ever heard things like the eventual heat death of all existence described in such a beautiful and thought provoking way.
Just finished True Detective Night Country and started Avatar The Last Air Bender. Oh man, it’s incredible seeing the disparity in TD reviews between critics and audiences.
I just finished my rewatch of Star Trek: Voyager yesterday. I think next rewatch will be DS9, but I want to wait to start it because I’m having surgery in a few weeks, and it’ll give me something to look forward to during recovery.
With my wife we’ve been watching mostly Seinfeld or Escape to the Chateau right now, but got hooked on The Traitors. We’ve caught up on season 2 of the U.S. run so we’re stuck waiting for new episodes each week. Once that ends we’re planning to try the UK and Australian editions since they’re also on Peacock, and might try to find a way to watch the Canadian, French Canadian, and French editions when we’re done.
On my own I’m slowly making my way through the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
We actually started with Chateau DIY, which I think has been our favorite. They follow three different owners working on different projects in an episode, usually across several episodes.
I’ve actually never been a big Survivor or Big Brother viewer but have watched a few seasons of each. The game itself is different, because the Faithfuls are specifically trying to eliminate the Traitors at the end of the day, so it’s less about trying to get rid of people who you don’t like and more about deduction. At the Round Table where suspected Traitors are banished the votes are written on chalkboards then publicly revealed one by one, so there’s no hiding behind anonymous ballots. The game really is the party game Mafia, and a lot of people in the first two seasons have clearly never played before. They start understanding after a few episodes, though. I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen a lot more than Survivor or Big Brother. The veterans of those shows often start with an advantage, but usually misunderstand the differences and make a critical misstep along the way.
