Yes.
Sorry chaps, wasn't going to comment but couldn't let b0r1s be the only one who said it.

Knew nothing of Farscape - I though it was a video game. Just checked it out on wiki - seems good. Might give it a try as it is well thought of here.

You’re in for a treat though having recently watched some of it again it doesn’t hold up to a rewatch.

I won't hang around beyond series 2 anyhow - I never do with anything.

I even dropped Sopranos and West Wing after a while which I love (may still go back though - have the box sets)

Farscape doesn't really hit it's stride until Season 2 iirc, but it remains magnificent, and well worth watching. Re-watched the whole thing a few years ago, and it's still the daddy.

o/ to my Babylon 5 bros.

I thought this week’s episode of Picard was first one that I’ve actually enjoyed.

If you're subscribing to Prime Video for Picard, it seems Farscape is on there as well.

@davyk I don’t get that way of thinking as a lot of shows take a season or two to get into their stride. Obvious exception being Firefly.

I've only watched Red Letter Media reviews on this but at least it's giving them new material to rip to shreds.

I'd agree it was a slight improvement, but the bar is now so fucking low that it's faint praise at best. There was still a cosmic fucktonne of stuff that was absolute bollocks.

Absolutely. Poor Mike is going to be in therapy by the end of it.
Loved this week's thumbnail...

New Picard was excellent, no idea what people are wanting.

I think I just get bored. I'm more of a book or film person really. Tell me a story and have done with it.

I don't like the feeling of being strung along. And Tv-series feel like that quite often. There's an element of making it up as you go along which goes with the territory I suppose.

I've always like self contained stuff. I liked X-files until that alien plot started getting in the way. Early on it was a parallel strand but then it became more focussed on it. That's when I gave up.

I like a mini series mind.

Didn't this have Michael Chabon involved? Did he just make the tea?

Patrick Stewart’s phoning this in. Mind you, if I was Patrick Stewart I would too.

Blame number two for directing

So I fell asleep through the middle of the last episode, not cos I was finding it boring or anything, just that I was drinking some warm milk and that always makes me sleepy. Did I miss much?

poprock

You might have missed the bit where the robot girl discovers that she’s programmed to always get sleepy and miss stuff.

The most recent episode sort of held it together a bit more until the last 5-10 minutes.

Talk of best sci fi shows and no mention of SG1 yet ffs :DTNG my fav trek, not finished DS9 though. I think a rewatch/first watch is needed.

I agree with the spoilers about this most recent episode and to add:

Hugh was just a regular Borg cut off from the collective. Which is the same as all the Borg on the Cube.

Was Seven of Nine just a one off appearance then?!

She gave Picard that special contact thing so she’ll probably turn up in the final episode to kick some ass.

Howdy, Stranger!
