I just started watching The Orville (Fun little story: when I went to start it I got it mixed up with The OA, and spent the whole first episode of that wondering when the spaceship was going to show up). I’m not sure I’d call it good TV, but it’s enjoyable!
Currently watching Dollhouse which I’m not sure if qualifies as scifi. Planning on watching Altered Carbon after this though.
I have always loved Stergate. I grew up watching this and I rewatch the whole thing every few years and I have been itching to rewatch it soon. Also just recently finished The Expanse. It was hands down the best scifi show in recent history, my favourite will always be Firefly though.
My go-to comfort show that I’m always re-watching is Mystery Science Theater 3000. But I’ve also been watching Uploaded on Prime and I’m enjoying it a lot, although the second season less so than the first.
I disregarded it because just from reading the description, I thought I knew how it would end. Finally gave it a chance and they dismissed my theory in the first episode 😅
I just recently watched silo, and I’ll be keeping up with that, I’m keeping up with strange new worlds, and I’ve recently started a re-watch of Stargate.
I agree. I tried for about maybe 5 eps, but the romanticism was annoying and the Spock plot made no sense. Like do these people even know what a Vulcan is? Or are they like Abrams and just like changing whatever the hell they want? Sad because I love the premise of the show.
A long time ago, Star Trek had some decent writers writers, many of whom were classic science fiction authors. Now all they have is a bunch of younger screenwriters that do not have a lot of life experience. Yeah, TOS and TNG could be cheesy at times but most of the episodes had substance. Kurtzman’s Trek is like a CW show that’s written for teenagers. SNW is definitely strange and new but it’s not very good.
Any advice for pushing through season 5? I burned out there on my first watch-through last year, and am really struggling to get back into it. So many of the characters I cared about either died or left.
@Odo The first half of season 5 is probably the low point of the series, but the final episodes are a very worthy wrap-up for the story, covering plot threads that were left hanging by the previous seasons.
The telepath arc can be a pain, but there are some brilliant episodes as well. A lot of great G’kar and Londo content. Episode 8 is really good, written by Neil Gaiman. Episdoes 12-14 are good and from episode 15 until the end of the show it’s back to brilliant.
