I was a huge fan of Fringe and haven't watched it since it left the air, is it steaming anywhere? I think that needs to be the next series I rewatch. I always enjoyed when Leonard Nimoy was on it, what a legend he was.

For the love of Hathor's firm assets, I had no idea there were so many Stargate movies.

Kurt Russell, with two "L's", played Jack O'Neil......................

Will wAnders ever cease.

This Winchesters series is just downright hideous. Then again, it's probably cult worthy.

Just finished watching season 1 episode 1 of The Last of Us. Free on Crave. Pretty good. At least for a Post Apocalyptic Sci-Fi. Crave........... get people hooked on a show, then BAM, you gotta pay for it after a few episodes..............

That last episode (3) of the show was a mastercraft of television making.

My GF and I were on the fence at the beginning with the gay stuff (we thought it would be some woke-wash crap), but it was a fantastic short love story.

We both had some tears at the end of it there.

It's funny watching some of the nerd outrage online about it though

Not sure if its been mentioned here... but

Do not watch trailers or read synopsis, go into it fresh. It's sooo good.

Yes............. I loved episode one. The beginning looked meh, but damn....................

Can't find episode two. Maybe it hasn't been aired on free version of Crave yet. I see episode 3 and 4, though. Not about to watch episodes out of order. Haven't really looked that hard.

So many new(er) shows on now.

Finished watching first episode of Ark 1.

At first, I thought it was another lame animated series. The set is so cartoonish.......... It has potential.

LaBrea is back after a short break. It's like Lost, except they sort of know what's happening. Like Lost, it's going to be well, Lost. Writers have no ending in sight. Then have to scramble when the plug gets pulled.

I should know better............... just wait till the reruns.

I've liked La Brea but like you said it seems like the writers have no clue where its going and the plot is kind of ridiculous.

Episode 3 is terrific. I've never played the game but my friends have and the show is appointment television for them. They love it so far.

Much unlike The Witcher which sounds like it has barely any relationship to the books and which causes the super fans to hate it.

Wasn't that why Cavill quit? Because the producer/execs didn't want to stick to the source material and Cavill was a huge fan of the books/games?

I've read he left because of that... and also read that he was an absolute control freak who would re-write scripts and not tell anyone and rubbed everyone the wrong way and they punted him... or that he left to go back to being Superman which was kinda oops after James Gunn cut him again.

Yeah, Cavill was very nice about it and wouldn't say a bad word about what happened but he was a super fan of the original material and, if people read between the lines from interviews, they can see he was really unhappy with the direction taken with the show.

Also, he was supposed to go play Superman again before he got fired from that (god damn shame, he was a great Superman even when the movies sucked).

Not Sci-Fi, but a series on Sci-Fi Channel, nonetheless. Magnum PI is back. Never going to be as good as the original series, but damn, Magnum making out with Higgins. Not going to get over the fact that Higgins is a she. Robin Masters is a drag queen............... story telling at libraries across the country. Oh man.............. I gotta stop being a dick.

Picard episode one was actually pretty good. 7 of 9, ftmfw!

Music was well done. excerpts and styles from multiple series merged together. Should have paid more attention to the credits.

Never liked Beverly Crusher, but damn, she looks fine........... for an older woman.



"Crash" LaForge, lol.

LOL.............. I keep watching Stargate SG-1 reruns (don't know why).............. Season 5 Episode 10. Titled, 2001.

Jack is pissed off at Senator Kinsey (such a jerk). Jack yells, "It's O'Neill with two L's!" I've watched this episode a few times. Just realized as he yells out the words, he holds out his middle three fingers........... kind of like, "read between the lines," hee hee. Easter eggs and minor things you miss the first time around, but notice later.

Oh - My - Fucking - God!!!!

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has gone off the deep edge of space and time. First it was the merging with the animation series, now musicals?

Dumb and obnoxious extends into space...........................

I laughed my ass off the whole time

I hate musicals but it was hilarious.. Stupid yeah, but hilarious

I'm glad they're doing something different with SNW, and also glad they fixed Discovery after the first shitty season, and the last season of Picard as well. They FINALLY seem to be getting what Star Trek fans want (not Abrams stuff) but they haven't quite nailed it yet.

Gotta find time to watch The Continental. Series on the origins of John Wick's hangout/refuge.

Saw trailer......... basic shoot someone in the head not once, twice, five times.......... just in case they turn into zombies afterwards. So violent. I love it.

I fuck you in the head moments, gulolol.

Just watched The Continental. Damn, the soundtrack is pretty darn good.

Winston Scott's history explained.

Don't want to spoil it for others, but it's good, so far.

For the love of Buffy.................... I was channel surfing and came across something that is so bad, it borders on being good. Funny as hell.

A fat, out of shape vampire, named Reginald.

A vampire who fails at being a vampire. I'm watching episode 2 of season 1. It's a series that aired last year.

Now I have to watch the pilot or episode one, just for shits and giggles.

Back in 1956. Starring a young Leslie Nielsen. Forbidden Planet. The movie that inspired so many sci-fi movies and television series.
