[MG1]

Just watched second episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds. Saw the credits. Executive Producer Eugene Rod Roddenberry. Majel Barrett was mentioned in there, somehow. Majel, of course, was married to Gene Roddenberry. She played roles in just about every Star Trek series. Nurse Chapel, Lwaxana Troi, and voiced in the animation series. Her only son, Eugene Rod Roddenberry followed in his father's footsteps.

Majel also produced Andromenda (filmed in Vancouver).

Majel passed away, but why is she in the credits?


Anyway, a new Dune is out. Haven't watched it yet, but I remember watching the first one. Star Wars is such a rip off of Dune. George Lucas is a thief, lol. Star Wars is, of course, much better.

So many great Sci Fi series to talk about/discuss. Anyone here a fan of Stargate series?

[SkinnyPupp]

After all the whacky, violent, over produced Star Trek series - some decent like Discovery, some awful like Picard - We finally got a good throwback series. Fucking thank god!

[supafamous]

Love the first 2 eps of Strange New World - like many have said, it's a throwback and it works with that cast. Picard has been such a mess in 2 seasons.

[N.V.M.]

I'm not sure if I want to see a new version of Dune. the dated steampunk special effects has a certain charm and something I really like about it.

[MG1]

Maybe way off topic, but I'm slogging through Stargate SG-1 reruns. It's so hilarious catching all the easter eggs and stuff I missed the first time around. Of course, there's the familiar filming locations (filmed in and around Vancouver). Seeing signs on buildings that should have been taken down for filming and such. Season 4 episode 16 "2010" Jack and the SG-1 crew are planning on sending a message back in time. Jack says, "Can we send who won the Superbowl, the World Series?" Dr. Jackson: No. "How about the Grey Cup?" lol........ Cabin in the woods........ supposedly in Minnesota. Uh, no.

[supafamous]

Anyone else watch For All Mankind? I binged it in the last month and loved it.

[MG1]

Never heard of it, but looks good.

where to watch? Apple TV only?

[Mikoyan]

Was Majel the computer voice? Besides her live action roles, she was the voice of the Federation computers since Star Trek The Next Generation.

[SkinnyPupp]

Never heard of it, but looks good.

where to watch? Apple TV only?
Or you could don your eyepatch and take to the seas

[supafamous]

Never heard of it, but looks good.

where to watch? Apple TV only?

Yep, Apple TV only. The first half of the first episode is pretty slow which is why I didn't watch it when it first came out. I gave it another shot this past month and couldn't stop watching it.

[MG1]

Well, I have the free three month Apple TV offer that came with the Apple TV+ console. I haven't activated it yet. Only wanted to watch the Friday Night Jays' game.

thanks...............

[murd0c]

Anyone else watch For All Mankind? I binged it in the last month and loved it.

I've watched a season and a half but have been finding it slow and boring. I normally like shows like this as well.

[mikemhg]

Babylon 5 still goes down as my favorite sci-fi show on TV. The story was so damn good.

Not sure if it still holds up though, some of the effects in the early seasons were pretty awful :lol

[murd0c]

I'm rewatching Stargate SG1 right now. almost finished the 7th season. One of my all time favorite shows by far.

[MG1]

Just watching Stargate SG-1. Season 6 episode episode 1 - "The Other Guys."

O'Neill: So, Teal'c, who do you think is going to win the Cup?
Teal'c: What cup?
O'Neill:Lord Stanley's Cup. Hockey, ice, skates.......... we went to a game once.
Teal'c: I believe the Vancouver Canucks will win. They are formidable warriors.........

Without saying it, O'Neill's like, WTF?

Two episodes ago. A town full of Goa'uld is referred to as a little town on the Oregon Coast called, "Steveston." It was indeed filmed in Steveston. I even recognize the inside of one of the buildings, lol. kunoman, if you're still around, you would know which building it was.

One of the alien planets involved in a civil war, has three countries going at it. One of them is Kelowna.............

Everytime they shoot a scene of a city/palace/fortress/whatever, they place the image of the place with the North Shore Mountains in the background. Shot from Little Mountain (Queen Elizabeth Park).

SFU shown so many times. Erickson would be proud. They also use Bridge Studios as a scene.

Vancouver City Hall must be in one of the episodes........ so Art Deco.


"With all due respect." Used at least a dozen times in every episode.

[GLOW]

SG-1 was pretty good
i actually like atlantis b/c the wraiths seemed badass

this 'new dune', is it a series, or sequel to the movie reboot that came out a few years back? i didn't mind the movie reboot so i wouldn't mind if there was a sequel movie to check out.

battlestar galatica reboot with a female starbuck and the 2 movies were one of my all time sci-fi favs

[68style]

I think Expanse is my favourite sci-fi show of all time. I grew up on ST:TNG and parts of DS9 so they all hold a place in my heart as does Star Wars of course... but as far as TV shows go I think Expanse had the most going for it for me. Not hospital clean like Star Trek, not as safe as Star Wars... grungy and Shadowrun type elements to it. Great characters too.

I'm a big fan of SG Atlantis as well, the same but different spin on it and no question the Wraith is a different sort of enemy.


I'm shocked no one has said X-Files yet, for me that's hands down the best Sci-fi show of all time.

I really gotta give this show another try. I tapped out partway through season 1 because I found it horribly boring.

I've been told it gets way better Season 2/3.

[fsy82]

I just watched Warrior Nun on Netflix and was presently impressed

Really digging the expanse as well.

I also like fringe, and sadly ended/cancelled too early

[MG1]

Fringe was good, but went full on retard mode in the end, iirc.I used to look forward to each episode. It's like every television series on the planet. The writers run out of good ideas. Walking Dead, for example. It just gets old.............

A young Mi-Jung Lee reporting on the shooting of the soon to be president (senator) on SG-SG1 S6 Episode 14. Then, I remembered, season 6 aired in 2002. Wow, time flies.

[MG1]

Frick, can't go to sleep now. Watched season one episode two of Urban Legend: The Spider. It was kind of freaky. Then about half an hour later, I get this sore on my forearm. A bite of some kind. It's now swollen..............

[GLOW]

oh yes fringe was a good one, that old guy is great for the role of mad scientist

[murd0c]

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.

[MG1]

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.

[MG1]

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

[MG1]

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..............

[mikemhg]

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 :lol

[nabs]

Not sure if its been mentioned here... but

Archive

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

[MG1]

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.

[MG1]

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.

[murd0c]

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.

[MG1]

Anyone watch Mayfair Witches?

[supafamous]

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..............

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.

[roastpuff]

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?

[68style]

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.

[supafamous]

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?

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).

[MG1]

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.

[MG1]

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.

[MG1]

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.

[MG1]

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...........................

[SkinnyPupp]

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.

[MG1]

Ahsoka airs tonight.


Kind of hot

[MG1]

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.

[MG1]

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.

[fsy82]

Been watching Foundation on Apple..really good story

[MG1]

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.

[MG1]

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxQ9GG6hUDM

[Badhobz]

They keep pushing back Dune part 2. It was suppose to be sept, then they nov, and now its march 2024. fuck you screen actors guild strike

[MG1]

I knew about The Orville and always wanted to watch it, but it seemed so hokey at the time. Now that I subscribed to Disney+, I've been watching this series. It is hilarious. Sci-Fi Comedy. Just watched the episode with the Holo Porn Virus............ those Maclans............. gives whole new meaning to gay.

First season is straight up comedy, later seasons are more pure Star Trek, although with more comedy

[MG1]

I’m just getting into season two. All kinds of former Star Trek actors. Even Ted Danson is on it.

[MG1]

Damn.............. they're showing reruns of Resident Alien on Sci Fi Channel again........... that's because there's a season 3 of this sci fi comedy. So funny it is..........


https://youtu.be/s3xGm8rSX20



Although the story takes place in fictional Patience, Colorado, it is filmed here in the Vancouver area (indoors), as well as, Ladysmith (outdoors).

[MG1]

La Brea is back for Season Three. OMFG! I had forgotten how bad this was................... not any better third time around.

Can someone say............ Lost?

[SkinnyPupp]

I describe it as a cartoon but with actual actors

[6793026]

Loved Lost until they butchered it as the last few season sucked.

[murd0c]

I don't mind La Brea for what it is, I'm honestly surprised it was renewed for a third season tho.

[MG1]

I've been watching La Brea........... it's getting better.


Bored as usual, switched to Disney+, came across this show called, Strain. It's not bad. I originally thought it was a movies, but it's a sci-fi television series. At least three seasons from what I can see.

[MG1]

Loved Lost until they butchered it as the last few season sucked.

watched every season, every episode, 'cause my good friend's daughter was in it.

She went on to bigger and better things.

[MG1]

Walking Dead.......... another series. Franchise needs to die. Nuff said.............

Anyway, I went out and purchased the complete Stargate Atlantis on Blue Ray.

Hilarious. So many references to the Vancouver and BC area. In SG-1 they use cities like Kelowna. Actually filmed in the city of Kelowna. In one episode of Stargate Atlantis, actor says, "The entire VPD is looking for him....... He'll be found," lol. Other filming sites include SFU, Fantasy Gardens, Bloedel Conservatory, Art Gallery, Fort Langley, etc. Even Chinatown alleys............. recognize them right away.

I must've been living under a rock. Did not know Richard Dean Anderson is married to Amanda Tapping.

[murd0c]

That must be an interesting rock since Amanda tapping is married to Allan Kovacs and RDA has never been married lol

[MG1]

That's what I get for believing anything on the Internet, except RS, of course.

[murd0c]

that's because RS is the truth!!

Only for that 1 episode of SG1.

[MG1]

Tapping Amanda………..

[MG1]

Totally forgot about Star Trek: Discovery. Shaw PVR remembered I recorded previous seasons............ never really liked the series.

Anyway, season 5 episodes 1 and 2 on CTV Sci-Fi channel.

[Badhobz]

Best shit right now is shogun. Utterly fascinating and beautiful

Watch it !!!!

[MG1]

watched it........... meh

historically correct, to a point.

Not your typical jidaigeki, that's for sure.


Fucking catholics and jesuits

[supafamous]

Got excited about this being on CTV Sci-Fi but Telus only has it in standard definition. Boooooo! At the same time I don't really want to pay $10/mo for Paramount Plus.

[MG1]

Been watching reruns of Surreal Estate on Sci Fi Channel. Season three has been given the go ahead.

It's a series shot here in Canada. St. John's NFL and Labrador. The house that Susan Ireland buys. Kind of house I'd die for, sans the creepy AI speaker.

Luke Roman. The guy with the hella good hair.
Susan Ireland. Older chick with nice bouncy tits.
Younger chick (can't recall name right now) with the nose ring. Obnoxious as all hell.
The gay former priest and his husband (gotta have one of those).
Cool black guy. The ghostbusters tech dude.

Anyway, watching season two, episode one.

[murd0c]

have any of you watched Atlas yet? It's getting bad reviews but I watched it on the weekend and really enjoyed it.

[bobbinka]

I thought it was super lame.

What's hilarious is that JLo does not need the money, so she really wanted to do this :lol

[MG1]

I've been watching Fallout on Prime. It's one of those weird enough to be good, series.

I love the music and the subtitles. Helps identify the music being played in the background.

[6793026]

^ watched that too but i believe they can't afford another season..
*wait.. as of today; they were green lit for season two.

[supafamous]

^ watched that too but i believe they can't afford another season..

I'm surprised it took so long to confirm season 2 - seemed like a slam dunk based on reviews. I know nothing about the game and enjoyed the show - not a 10/10 but good, fun entertainment.

Speaking of season 2, Silo S2 is out Nov 15th - can't wait. Loved season 1 - Rebecca Ferguson was fantastic in it (and also very hot).

[MG1]

She was so hot in Dr. Sleep.......................

kind of like that song, "You can leave your hat on." Damn, that hat looks sooooooo nice on her.

[MG1]

Ark. Bad beginning, but starting to get traction..................

[MG1]

Not a Sci Fi series, but Tokyo Vice is pretty good. It's based on accounts of an American ex pat who becomes a journalist. He ends up risking his life and the people close to him by his obsession of exposing a Yakuza boss.

Around the time I went to Japan again in the Spring I was on a Japanese binge of sorts and IG must have caught on and a reel about the show came onto my feed and I watched it. It was a good watch I agree.

[MG1]

It's set in the 90's or something like that. Critics mentioned how scenes were used over and over again........ yeah, trying to make it look like Japan from the 90's can't be that easy.

There's a thing called a budget.

Anyway, another non sci-fi series that "looks" interesting is Doctor Odyssey. DON JOHNSON, ffs. Tokyo Vice reminded me of it........... Miami Vice, jbol.

[Bender Unit]

I am watching Tulsa King season 2.
It was a pretty cool show
Sylvester Stallone as a exiled Mafia

[winson604]

I am watching Tulsa King season 2.

Just started Season 2 last night too. I'm excited at the possibility of the Traids being introduced lol when he read the newspaper and it said something like Chinese gangs are getting into the weed game. Even though they are not usually massive players being Chinese I always like seeing some Asian gangs in the American shows like Sons of Anarchy where they were actually part of the show.

[supafamous]

I am watching Tulsa King season 2.

I'm really interested in catching it and at some point I'll want to catch up with Star Trek Discovery and Strange New Worlds. I just don't want another subscription to pay for.

[MG1]

Bwahahahaha............

I love SG-1 reruns. Catch stuff the second, third, fourth time around. A lot of references to local Canadian cities. It was after all filmed here in the Vancouver area (Bridge Studios). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bridge_Studios


S6 Ep 4 "Frozen." First scene in Antarctica, sign on facility reads, "Welcome to White Rock," gulolololol.

S6 Ep 5 is filmed in Steveston, but a few of the indoor shots are in East Van - 2400 Motel, nicely renovated east end heritage house, etc. BC license plates, lol.

S6 Ep 6 mentions Kelowna (a faction on an alien planet).

S7 Ep 7 O’Neill(with 2 “l’s) asks Teal’c which team will take Lord Stanley’s cup. Teal’c replies with, “The Canucks. They’re formidable warriors.” O’Neill has a WTF look on his face. Too funny.

S7 Ep 14. planet that Kelowna is part of is called Langara. In this episode, the girl who is a Goa'uld is kind of cute with short sassy hair. In one scene, she pulls her jacket back to inject herself with something, exposing a very nice set of mammary glands..........

S7 Ep 22. O'Neil, for the second time, has ancient data downloaded into his brain. He's doing a crossword puzzle. 7 down. Heavenly Body......... puts down, Uma Thurman, gulolololol.

S8 Ep. 7. Ex NID agents' hideout is Westminster Boiler & Tank Company LTD. Real place, real sign. Might still be around. Confirmed. Still there........

[supafamous]

How are folks liking season 2 of Silo? It started off pretty darn slow but has finally picked up lately. Not as good as season 1 though but still lots of mystery and tension.

[bobbinka]

ep1 of season 2 was great. really slowed down after, but still enjoy it

[Badhobz]

Just started master of the air on Apple TV. Love these ww2 series. Same producer as band of brothers and the pacific mini series.

Austin butler is always great and so far it’s quite good.

I had trouble getting into it - the dudes were all too good looking to be believable as a bunch of soldiers. Hunk Air.

[Badhobz]

I’m almost finished it but yah it wasn’t as good as band of brothers or the pacific (<- the best one in my opinion). It’s a bit impersonal fighting an enemy you barely see in the sky. Not as savage and brutal as the pacific.

[mikemhg]

I thought it was a good series, but the CGI was awful.

Some of the shots of those bombers and some action scenes were just terrible from a visual standpoint.

It's crazy how movies and series like Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers had better practical effects and visuals than the slop being carted out nowadays.

[MG1]

For the love of RuPaul’s assets……… watching rerun of 5th Element. Totally forgot Uncle Benny was in it. Flying Shanghai Junk. The set in the movie reminds me of the original Dune movie. The opera singer……… damn. The Aria is almost impossible to sing, according to experts.

On another note, Mayfair Witches. Damn, that chick is mysteriously sexy as hell. Not that great looking but she oozes with sexy vibes. She has that, cum fuck me, look.

[6793026]

First off... the opera singer / that song was cut into a song.. which was told was impossible to sing.. UNTIL Jane Zhang 张靓颖 sings "The Diva Dance"

not sure if this was close?

Know what's the scariest thing about that Crave series called, "The Rest of Us"..........or something like that? Not the fun guy zombies, but that creepy girl. SHe's the scariest thing on that show. Thank god my subscription to Crave ended. And no, not going to miss that Drag Race with the Drama Queens.

[mikemhg]

Damn, old man, you mean The Last of Us, right? :lol

I was hoping for Fallout season whatever, but it got delayed.

Surreal Estate is hard to get into this season.

[6793026]

I tied to play fallout 4 again; man it's so dated LOL.

[mikemhg]

I hate the casting of Ellie in Last of Us, she's not doing it for me.

[supafamous]

Andor season 2, god there's way too much fucking boring politicians talking shit

I would watch a whole season of Mon Mothma talking dirty to me about politics.

[SkinnyPupp]

I hate the casting of Ellie in Last of Us, she's not doing it for me.
I think she works fine. I think she makes for a good shithead kid who is struggling. I never played the game though.

If you look at the game subreddit, it has been completely taken over by incels who are EXTREMELY unhappy with her. Complete gamer gate meltdown, it's hilarious (but really, more sad than hilarious)

[68style]

I haven’t been paying attention to the negative media and just watching the show for what it is, I have no problem with her casting so far she’s a good actress. I thought I did in the first episode she was being too angry teenager for my liking but it’s toned down since then.

I don’t get what all the furor is about? People think she’s too manly looking or something? I mean if you want something to lick your lips about while you look at the show, just stay focused on the other girl lol

I think it's because I played the game, her character in terms of appearance and to a degree personality was different in the game.

I actually think the actress was a fine casting for the first season when Ellie was younger, but second season when she's supposed to be older in age, this actress just isn't doing it for me.

On the other hand, I like the casting for Dina.

The Ellie casting doesn't really bother me, although some of the memes going around are hilarious. Abby wasn't a great casting, her character was jacked in the game and looked like she could kick some ass. This girl is the furthest thing from that.

[SkinnyPupp]

The Abby casting works for me in that she is utterly contemptible. Maybe she's not a bad ass, but I can't wait to see her get eaten by a zombie

I thought Joel's acting got really bad in the second season, especially that he suddenly had a bad cowboy accent. I'm glad he got killed early

I hate the casting of Ellie in Last of Us, she's not doing it for me.

tried to google the whole time on why they casted her, does she know someone, was there a reason behind it... i can't... i refuse to watch it anymore.

[MG1]

Okay, I don't read the books or play them video games.............. just watched the series, 'cause 6 months of Crave, free. It was fun to see all them fun guys running/crawling around.

Walking Dead............. now that one, like the zombies in it, should just die. It was great for the first dozen or so seasons (seems like it was), but I don't even bother.

[N.V.M.]

is Ellie immune? is she the secret to the cure?

[68style]

^that’s all covered in the first season

Like Z Nation............. I survived watching about 5 seasons of that one.:lawl:

[SkinnyPupp]

If you didn't think Ellie was good in today's episode, there must be some reasons that have nothing to do with acting or casting

[MG1]

Whoa........... liking this new version of the Librarians. That smoking' hot raven haired chick.

Way better cast than the last version. That asian dude with the heavy british accent was a little too corny and that spinny chick who tried so hard to be hot, not. The old guardian was sort of hot, but this one, win!! A little heavy on the eyebrows, but the rest of her..................

I am so excited about this news. It’s at least three months old, but just saw it mentioned on Reddit.

Probably unlikely, but hope they film in Vancouver like before. Also, please don't fuck it up. Also also, need some closure for SGU series.

Newest Bridge Studios location would come in handy................

I'm watching this on TVB and it's legit. At parts even better than the first.
The Queen of News 2

https://vincentloy.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/202511071029441621_1024.jpg


Season 1 was about New anchor battling it out.
Season 2 is about New and ethics on what to report, how to report and how to deal and work with AI / social pressures.

Very different dynamic. I have to say, there were a LOT of advertising within the 2nd season. From milk, singleton alcohol to Green Tea. Regardless it's really nicely done and truly a good ride.

[Badhobz]

^how is this sci fi ? p.s. TVB sucks ass.

[pastarocket]

-gonna be watching the latest movie in the Predator movie franchise:

Predator Badlands. This movie looks good!


https://youtu.be/cDL3Zjdz514?si=Wy8r3O5FapkB51GP

https://variety.com/2025/film/box-office/predator-badlands-box-office-opening-weekend-record-1236573309/

“Predator: Badlands” is this weekend’s apex predator at the box office, collecting a better-than-expected $40 million in its domestic debut.

Those ticket sales were enough to cement a franchise record, overtaking 2004’s “Alien vs. Predator” ($38 million, not adjusted for inflation) as the biggest opening weekend in the long-running property. The sci-fi series ignited with 1987’s “Predator,” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and extended over the years with sequels, reboots and “Alien” crossover films.

I remember watching the OG Predator movie way back in 1987 when the Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was the lead actor in that movie.

yeah this was on my list. I have to say the LAST predator that I enjoyed was Pray. VERY small production which did well. this is another one that I'm looking forward to.

[MG1]

Just started watching Star Trek 60 — Star Fleet Academy. Recorded it. Had time to check it out. Looks promising. That’s all for now.

Pray was great, Badlands even better I just watched it last night. No stupid humans just Predator fighting other Predators, beasts, and some androids sprinkled in. It was refreshing.

Seems promising though it takes a bit of adjustment to deal with how technology has changed in the far future - it almost feels gimmicky.

OTOH, Holly Hunter's drawl is very sexy.
