    Anyone rewatching any old shows during quarantine?

    Sorry, I misspoke. Those of us who have seen all or most of SG-1 before are vicariously enjoying your first watch-through, reminding us of why we liked it in the first place! COMET started showing SG-1 from the beginning last week, so I'm rewatching as well. Just finished up season 1. So your...

    Dune 2018 (19,20,21...)

    I hadn't heard that story. But it jibes with similar stories I'd heard. And while I understand about adaptations and the need for changes due to differences in storytelling mediums, a lot of the changes I see in many, many adaptations are changes that don't improve or even facilitate telling the...

    Babylon 5

    Well, he had just assassinated the emperor. As shocked as he was by his own actions, he knew that these perpetrators of evil needed to die. He'd said as much just a few episodes earlier.

    Dune 2018 (19,20,21...)

    My main problem with the weirding modules was that they injected mysticism into subjects that clearly were not in the books. It lessened the Fremen and their toughness unnecessarily, IMO. And I never envisioned the Fremen fighting style, augmented by Bene Gesserat techniques, as "Bruce Lee-level...

    Dune 2018 (19,20,21...)

    Quoted for truth. Among the many stupid things in the Lynch film, the weirding modules were one of the stupidest.

    Babylon 5

    OK, one more... Mr. Morden: What do YOU want? Vir Cotto: What do I want? I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I would look up into your lifeless...

    Trek writers original works

    Backed! Also, as more funding is received (it's already fully funded), stretch goals will unlock extra short stories from various authors, including KRAD & CLB, in various electronic formats. And even more works are available as add-ons. Worth checking out...

    I'm enjoying your rewatch thread. :techman:

    Anyone rewatching any old shows during quarantine?

    Never saw nuBSG, so I'm watching on COMET TV, which started at the beginning on Monday 4/6. Two episodes in a row starting at 8 PM Eastern time. It streams for free on their website, if it's not on a local broadcast channel in your area. Quantum Leap started the same day, so I've caught a few...

    Babylon 5

    This episode has one of my favorite lines: Delenn: Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else! :techman:

    Babylon 5

    Apparently. I was surprised to see it listed as a channel available through STIRR. During some of the ad breaks on COMET, they showed promos for the DS9 documentary on SHOUT Factory.

    Babylon 5

    Yes, it's still showing on COMET. I just watched this evening. They're currently in early 3rd season. There's a 2-episode block starting at 6 PM Eastern time. Since I'm watching during my lunch hour at work, I have to watch on my phone. I use a free app from the Google Play store called STIRR...

    Anti-Matter Created During a Thunderstorm

    I had typed a reply that I wasn't even sure I remembered his name correctly, but stopped to do a search. I found his obituary from the American Astronomical Society at a Harvard site. Robert L Golden, of New Mexico State University. Director of the Particle Astrophysics Laboratory, who also...

    Have Episodes Been Split Up / Merged?

    Sorry I misunderstood your point. Going back and re-reading the comment you were replying to, I agree with you that if the actor you wanted isn't available, you move the dialogue points you need to make to the actor/character who is available, adjusting as necessary based on the character's...

    Have Episodes Been Split Up / Merged?

    Bolding mine: Sorry if it wasn't what you intended, but using "others" (plural) and "a duo" implied to me more than one character. But also, the individual characters of Riker and Troi brought their own individual strengths and connections to Picard into play as separate characters, as well as...

    Have Episodes Been Split Up / Merged?

    I disagree. The very point of the episode is the long history Picard has with Riker and Troi, and the nature of their relationships. He needed somewhere to go in a hurry, where he could safely catch his breath while figuring out his next steps. Plus, knowing him so well, they could call him out...

    Bennett’s Academy film

    This was pretty much my issue with the concept. It's pretty obvious from early TOS episodes that no one on the Enterprise command staff knows Spock very well; they're just getting used to him. Kirk seems to have an established camaraderie with Scotty, as well as probably a longer history with...

    Anti-Matter Created During a Thunderstorm

    Back around 1980, I had an electrical engineering professor who was part of a team that detected naturally-occurring antimatter high in the atmosphere using a balloon-lofted detector. (Probably from cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere.) For about a week, he was a minor international celebrity...

    E-Book Pricing Alerts

    Isn't most of the list books that haven't been discounted before? (I'm not at home so I can't check.) So at least there's that...

    Spoilers Let’s talk about the destruction of Trek utopia…

    Ah. Well, that sort of visceral, personal reaction now makes perfect sense, given your life experience. Quite understandable.
