Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching or plan on watching in August?

Me and the missus have binged "Citadel" this past week and its shaping up to be a solid sunday-show! The spinoff coming in 2024 seems fun too!

Hands to heart, citadel didn't impress me much, I think I just expect better from action after john wick and specially extraction.

After hating the abominations that DIS and PIC where, I really enjoy SNW!

Agreed on all points.

I can't believe all the praise for s3 of Picard. Are people really so excited to see the TNG actors on the screen that they failed to notice that the writers have them playing entirely different characters from who they used to be?

Honestly, even though the show is named "Picard", I can't see this Patrick Stewart character as the Picard I once knew.

Do you have any idea how bad the writing has to be before The same character played by the same actor seems like an entirely different person?

I mean, even when they fucked up Luke Skywalker in the sequel movies, he still felt like Luke Skywalker.

Its almost like they have always hated Star Trek and are out to hurt old school trekkies by destroying it´s legacy. I simply stopped watching and the problem was solved. I´m also really happy that we can say what we think about this openly here on lemmy. On reddit I got a lifetime ban in the big ST sub just for not liking and therefore criticizing Nu Trek.

I just recently watched silo, and I'll be keeping up with that, I'm keeping up with strange new worlds, and I've recently started a re-watch of Stargate.

I'm all left.

Currently watching Dollhouse which I'm not sure if qualifies as scifi. Planning on watching Altered Carbon after this though.

I have always loved Stergate. I grew up watching this and I rewatch the whole thing every few years and I have been itching to rewatch it soon. Also just recently finished The Expanse. It was hands down the best scifi show in recent history, my favourite will always be Firefly though.

Silo is great! Cant wait for the new season. Considering reading the books before it comes out

I just started watching The Orville (Fun little story: when I went to start it I got it mixed up with The OA, and spent the whole first episode of that wondering when the spaceship was going to show up). I'm not sure I'd call it good TV, but it's enjoyable!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

My go-to comfort show that I'm always re-watching is Mystery Science Theater 3000. But I've also been watching Uploaded on Prime and I'm enjoying it a lot, although the second season less so than the first.

I really enjot fan made Star Trek New Voyages: https://youtube.com/@startrekphase2DE

Strange New Worlds, and From.

Kids are watching Clone Wars. I'm caught up on SNW. I'm at season 4 of TNG. I plan on watching from TNG up to Enterprise, including movies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

A rewatch of "The Expanse" and occasionally Star Trek:TOS. SNW Is unwatchable.
