We just remembered we're halfway through Cosmos: A Personal Voyage.

Banter and chat about the show you are watching - hopefully with everyone else watching the same show, or things will be confusing.

BSG if you still want a bit of sci fi?
What we do in the Shadows for a laugh
actually thats all i got, havnt really been watching much myself lately
Yeah we should get back to BSG. Those first couple of seasons are great and my partner hasn't seen it. Been meaning to check out Shadows and Our Flag, thanks for the reminder!
Any limits on sources? Any particular genre you'd prefer?
Just work your way down the IMDB Top 250
Thanks. From that list these are the one's we'll check out or maybe watch again (I've seen some of these before but we haven't seen many of these together):
- Chernobyl
- Cosmos (already watching)
- Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story
- Dekalog
- Nathan for You
- Twin Peaks (I haven't seen Fire Walk With Me and I can't get enough of Twin Peaks)
- The Last of Us (waiting for more)
- I, Claudius
- Kota Factory
- Six Feet Under
- Rome
- Dark
- Battlestar Galactica (watch again some time)
- Severance (been meaning to check it out)
- Deadwood (I've been asked to find this to watch)
- Justified (couple of seasons in)
- Senke nad Balkanom
- Spaced (been meaning to watch second season)
- Detectorists (had no idea there were more seasons)
- The Expanse (forgot we got a couple episodes in, I've seen it before)
- Derry Girls (premise sounds interesting)
Derry Girls was very good!
a break from their first foray into Deep Space Nine
How about Voyager? 😅
Yeah nah, they mean all Trek lol. Not in a rush to finish DS9. It's too good although Voyager has it's moments.
Not…Trek..? I’m not sure I follow.
Do you want to watch Lower Decks?
I'm not a fan of anything since DS9. We will eventually finish DS9 one day, check out Voyager because like I said it does have it's moments but then we'll leave it there. I can't get into any of the new stuff, it all seems pretty scattershot.
I'll just say, a lot of the newer stuff has been more miss than hit for me, but Lower Decks is absolute top-tier Trek.
I recently started rewatching S1 of Shadow and Bone, since I was surprised to learn S2 came out in March (shows how much attention I pay to Netflix lately). It can be a bit 'YA' sometimes, but the aesthetics and world-building are enough to keep it interesting.
I didn't mind the first season but I dont remember much. I liked the setting and some of the minor characters more than the leads (the actors are fine, just the characters were kinda meh). I vaguely remember the story partly being told through flashbacks. I despise flashback storytelling.
The answer is always Stargate SG1!
SG1 is fun.
That reminds me, I though I had missed some backstory when this played at the start of a later episode...
