OT: Watcha watchin'?

[raynman]

I just finished the SyFy side of The Expanse. Excellent ride so far. A sci-fi shows that is definitely not afraid to go dark with their stories. Amos alone is worth the viewing. Think of a more loyal and deep Jayne Cobb. Now I've just got to get the Amazon Prime seasons.

One of my favorite shows of all time. Amos cracks me up the way he’s always ready to throw down at any moment.

Chuck and Psych are 2 shows I can binge multiple times and still enjoy every minute.

If they are still on Netflix to great shows are The Liberator which an animated true story from WW2, and the Witcher Nightmare of the Wolf. The Witcher movie is much better than the show and is a back story of Geralts mentor Vesimir.

i love The Shield so freaking much. i've actuallly never watched the last two episodes - i've read up on it and know what happens - because i like living in a world where there still exists new eps that i could watch.

i'll break down someday. hell, probably whenever i watch through it again. but in the meantime, i get to pretend that for me it isn't over yet.

I'm seeing a lot of people digging The Wire. For numerous obvious reasons. It's an older show, but Homicide: Life on the Streets is an excellent series. Like The Wire it's also based off of David Simon's work. Takes place in the Baltimore's homicide division. The spiritual prequel to The Wire in a matter of speaking. Went up against NYPD Blue back in the day. Lost the ratings war, but my opinion a vastly superior series. Had a great cast... and a Baldwin.

A Baldwin doesn't mean anything. Young Riders had one.

That was my cautionary aspect of the thread, as it's Daniel Baldwin. Whom I guess one could argue is the most benign Baldwin

I just watched The Wire for the first time this year and I thought it was absolutely sensational. Quite possibly the best show I've ever seen.

Found myself going through old Sherlock Holmes episodes starring Jeremy Brett. These are absolutely timeless, and if there's a human race in 2124, it'll enjoy these just as much as us.

Well it isn't the Canes game because I can't f***ing find it again. Its like randomly on or not on Hulu

Lately I've been doing a Deep Space 9 rewatch since the Delta Flyers guys (Garrett Wang and Robert Duncan McNeill, two of the regulars from Voyager) started in on DS9 after doing their episode by episode review of Voyager, and they brought in the actors who played Quark and Dax for it.

Man, it really holds up extremely well. Nearly through the first two seasons, which were generally regarded as fairly weak, and there are some real heavy hitters in there that, if anything, resonate even better in the post-GWOT era.

Just wish Paramount would do a real remaster like they did for TOS and TNG. I'm watching an AI upscale available on the seven seas, but apparently most of the effects shots were composited straight to video rather than on the film stock and would need to be totally remade. But lord, DS9 deserves the love.

This Hoosier grad is watching the IU - Michigan game and then will watch the Canes game

Anyone here still watch Survivor? It's amazing to me that a show that has been around almost 25 years can still blow your mind and surprise.

Spoiler: Last night

Never been a fan of “Survivor”. I’m a huge “Amazing Race” fan though.

i don't watch 'reality tv' - i don't think it is all trash, some shows are trash some shows seem ok, but it just isn't my cup of tea in general - so help me out, is Amazing Race the show Bates Battaglia (and his brother?) won years back?

Yes it is. Another Raleigh couple won a few years ago, too, Kim and Penn Holdress. They do the funny YouTube videos.

It was my dream when I was younger. My late husband and I applied right before he fell sick as “the young empty nesters.” The application process is quite involved.

Just caught Alien Romulus in Disney+, because I just haven't been to the theaters in a while with kids and all and ummm

Holy hell that was fantastic. In my opinion the best Alien movie since the original, and arguably on par with it

I had a nick jr subscription for my kids that got absorbed into paramount plus, so now I have paramount plus. Watched all three seasons of Picard. Wanted to like it but just couldn’t outside of a few decent moments. Strange new worlds and lower decks are pretty good though.

I really enjoyed it. It managed to lean on the original movies while still doing enough to stand on its own.

My only two gripes are the weird cgi Ian Holm character and the “get away from her, you bitch” reference. Just saying get away from her on its own would have been enough.

Agreed on both parts. The Rook character was too obviously CGI, would have been better off just creating a new character. But neither that or the line you described was enough to seriously take away from the film, more minor gripes. Overall, it was fantastic.

Also, the main actress, Cailee Spaeny, she would have been perfect to play Ellie in The Last of Us. Not taking away from Bella at all, but Cailee looks exactly like her.

Watching Civil War, I kept wondering why the other journalists treated Spaeny's character like a serious photographer even though she was obviously, like, 14. Turns out the actress is 26.
