What are you watching for the first-time?

[Parapapumpum]

I watched it as it was airing on AMC. It's my favorite show on television. Especially since it digs underneath the surface of the facade everyone's putting on and exposes all the cracks.

The only thing I don't like, and this isn't the show's fault, is that real world has been making it feel like less and less of a period piece.

I don't know how deep you're in right now, but you're in for quite a ride.

Three episodes in… so in no way deep, but it’s very good so far?

Favourite show on TV? That’s high, high praise, especially coming from a fella such as yourself who knows his TV!

Anyway, back on topic...

I like the 3 Abrams movies, but what I didn't like was how they treated the Enterprise and how things regarding the Enterprise just make zero sense, especially in the 2nd film.

I'm not really a fan, but I do kind of like them as Huge Summer Blockbusters. Since that's what they were going for, Mission Accomplished. Credit where credit's due.

I remember one time -- not on TrekBBS -- where someone who hates the Abrams Films freaked out that they blew up the Enterprise in Beyond. "They destroyed the Enterprise again!!!" I told him straight-out, "I don't give a shit about that Enterprise. If I don't give a shit, then you don't give a shit either, so stop pretending as if you're upset!" Called him right out on it. He'd look for anything and everything to complain about.

Mad Men on Netflix.

Great show, but not Star Trek.

Wait 'til you get to the Star Trek mention in one of the later seasons. Five or six? I can't remember now.

Anyway, I am getting set to finally watch Picard S3 and Lower Decks S4.

Season 5.

As far as Star Trek re-watches, I went through TNG and VOY quickly. But because I have a thread about it, and am writing out my thoughts, I'm going through DS9 much more slowly.

One thing I've discovered: I'm getting more out of it by watching it over an extended period. All the details are worth paying attention to on DS9, because everything comes back.

i don't rewatch shows for the most part, so everything i'm watching is new-to-me.

modern shows: evil, tracker, ncis - origins, matlock reboot, and the Irrational.
older shows: the profiler, la law, moonlighting, homicide life on the streets, suits, buffy, angel, almost done with nypd blue.

i am revisiting tng, silders, x files and quantum leap for the first time since i was a teenager in the 90s. i've only seen half of x files.

recently finished off hill street, burn notice, elementary, white collar, boston legal

still have a little bit of the pretender and castle left but not currently running them.

I'll be revisiting TOS, soon, as part of my franchise rewatch. I've not watched most TOS episodes since before my son was born (he's 8 now), and have not watched the remastered Season 1.

If we're including non-Trek shows...

We are not.

I've already addressed this up thread. We have an entire forum dedicated to non-Trek TV and Media. In fact there's an active, long running thread there called "What Are You Watching?"

What are you watching???

I'm about to re-watch Atonement. What is spinning in your Blu-Ray player? On Cable? On Netflix?

Please take this discussion there.

Thanks.

 

[Admiral Jean-Luc Picard]

In that case, the list shrinks drastically down to:

Star Trek (Season 1)
The Next Generation (Season 4)
Enterprise (Season 4)
Discovery (Season 2)
Short Treks (between S1 and 2)
Lower Decks (Season 1)

At some point, I plan to have a rewatch of the Abrams trilogy too.

I finally started to watch SNW. I am still not a fan of the overall production design that still follows the routes of Abrams's 2009 movie. Call me crazy, but I am a big fan of carpets on spaceships (like Picard) But in general, it looks too shiny, too cold, too forced designed. Apart from that I am surprised. Finally, a new Star Trek show with likable characters, decent drama without main characters winning in every episode, a good portion of dry humor and self-irony without forced annoying curly side characters and a more episodical and spacy adventure. I see how the creators follow an approach to pay tribute to TOS while creating a modern show that attracts a wider range of viewers. I am an incorrigible 90sTrek child but in view of the fact that the world is developing further, I find this very watchable.

BTW. They are using the LCARS sounds from the TNG movies and Voyager, right? Not matching the era but I like this nevertheless.
