Yes I thought it was a bit too short could have done with a couple more at least.

 

[Tonyblack]

Jeri Ryan still looks fantastic.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I agree with you there. New Borg QUEEN IN WAITING.

I just finished watching Season One of Picard. I was a bit bummed that it was only nine episodes, but I did enjoy it a lot.

At least there will be more to come. I enjoyed it, a slow burner but enjoyable

 

[Tonyblack]

Some great characters in Picard. Better than Star Trek Discovery, where I've now seen two series and am still unaware of the backstories of the Bridge Crew.

I got up to around episode 8 of Discovery and just lost interest. For some reason, it just didn't feel like Star Trek to me with the sets, props and makeup feeling 'too Holywoodized', if that makes any sense. For example, considering that the storyline was apparently set about 10 years before the original series, the tech looked more shiny and futuristic, while the Klingons looked like an entirely different species.

I hadn't considered not knowing the backstories of the Bridge Crew before, but that might also have subconsciously been a factor in my lack of interest.

They go into the characters of the bridge crew more in Season 2 - but not by much. Still, I am enjoying it.

I love Discovery but totally agree it needed more back stories for the crew

The new series of Discovery is out this month so hopefully they manage a bit if that this time

 

[Ghost]

I'm watching The haunting of Bly Manor and doing a terrible job of ghost spotting
I'm gonna have to re-watch it over again on mute because of a perfectly splendid reason

What is Umbrella Academy about?

I am binge watching *M*A*S*H* at the moment.

 

[Quatermass]

Currently watching the first few episodes of Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia...

I am binge watching *M*A*S*H* at the moment.

Basically Umberella Academy is about a bunch of kids born on the same day , all with some power adopted by a mysterious man . The kids are now grown up and dysfunctional, and the shit starts to hit the fan

 

[Ignisis]

lol sounds interesting ... specially shit hitting the fan rofl

 

[pip]

Definitely worth a look

 

[Ghost]

sort of dysfunctional X-Men, if you like that Misfits is on netflix now that is worth a looky
dysfunctional X-Men in Manchester only a lot more sweary and chavy

 

[RathDarkblade]

Umbrella Academy sounds contrived. All of them born on the same day? All adopted by the same man? Puh-lease.

 

[Ghost]

nope going to let someone else explain the first 5mins of episode 1 season 1

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Just finished watching the Wizards of Arcadia on Netflix, I have so many to watch on my list I'm lost for choice, maybe the Courier.
