From the new(ish) Star Trek shows I really liked Lower Decks and mostly liked Strange New Worlds and the last season of Picard (you can watch that season on its own, especially if you’ve watched TNG).

I have mixed feelings about Enterprise, but would recommend it as well. It’s only 5 seasons, so …

TV has also changed a lot since the TNG-era, so if you like the vibe of those shows, I’d recommend checking out other sci-fi shows from that time.

All of that is highly subjective of course.

I could have easily watched 5 more seasons of Lower Decke. By far my favorite new trek

I wonder if we find out what is actually going on with bearded, successful Boimler. Can’t be good, right?

I actually like the setup of the episode, meeting this group of off-world alien hunters on a planet in perpetual night and some shapeshifting action. What’s not to like?

I just can’t stand Archer as a captain (and Reed as an officer). And the actual story they go with doesn’t really deliver, imo.

This is conjecture as there are continuing anti-war protests in Israel by a number of different actors and groups, e.g.:

In May 2024, 1,400 academics signed a petition calling for an end to the war Israel–Hamas war protests in Israel, Wikipedia

In my opinion, the way you phrase your comment crosses into antisemitic narratives as the comment implies (at least in my reading) that all the people protesting are anti Palestine. Please note I’m not saying that you are in any way antisemitic. It just irks me how that comment is phrased

“Without the return of the hostages we will not be able to end the war, we will not be able to rehabilitate ourselves as a society,” Ron Tomer, president of the Manufacturers’ Association of Israel. Te me, “Rehabilitation” implies a level of dissent with Netanyahu’s actions.

Thanks for the hint! :)

Since June! It’s Red Hot Cylon Summer!

Done! (at least I think I found the right setting)

This is my first time watching BSG and I am beginning to suspect that every single character in the show is secretly a Cylon (including Ben and Adam, Wynde is on to something here).
