    I can't go through another 100 pages on one thread that is talking about several episodes at once.

    So I am starting a thread for each episode. I think this will be easier for everyone.

    As a reminder, it airs tonight at 8 p.m. on FOX.

    You will all likely watch this before I do, as I work overnight and I will be away from home Friday through Monday.

    So I will return to this thread after I watch it. In the meantime, I hope this makes things easier for everyone.

    Yup that works for me, was thinking about doing the same thing. This show has too much buzz here to have just one thread for all the episodes.

    You don't just read the posts that say "New"?

    I do. But it just feels easier to have different threads for each episode. Plus, it just seems ridiculous to have a series with so many people having something to say have just one thread.

    It's already at 115 pages after only 3 episodes. Imagine 10 more...

    I hope this one is a little less serious than last week. I like last weeks but it's good to have variety in your levity, if that makes any sense.

    There was a real cool clip for this show up on FB but I can't find an embeddable version now. The premise of the show is that they've encountered what they call a "bioship," a world-like habitat inside a giant spacecraft.

    It looks very promising.



    This kind of thing:

    Is why I love this show.

    GRAYSON: Isaac...life form readings?

    ISAAC: Yes, Commander...millions.

    KITAN: I wonder who they are...and why they're out here?

    It makes sense to have a separate thread for each episode. It helps keep the spoilers separated. You can participated in the threads for the episodes that you've seen without worrying about being spoiled about later episodes. That and it's just easier to keep the conversation about an episode together!

    Maybe where you are, but it's 9:00 (9:01 to be precise) in the Eastern time zone.

    You are right. I am in the same time zone. My wife has something else recording at 8 p.m. and I looked at the wrong thing.

    My apologies for the confusion.

    I hate the fact that Arrow is moving to Thursdays. Didn’t want to pick and choose and right now Orville takes precedence.

    Love this show. A breath of fresh air compared to what's on TV now.

    Do you have a DVR? Record one and watch the other. I imagine both go towards viewership #'s?

    Exactly so.

    A lot that's good, and that's been missing from Star Trek for a long time, is in this show.

    Don't know what you have, but the DISH DVR could do 2 recordings IIRC.
