      I’m only about four episodes in but I’m liking the Night Agent so far.

        @Cobalt I really liked that show. The quality was something I’d expect to see on like, ABC or another “real” network TV channel. We burned through it pretty fast.

          I got a little mad at my spouse b/c he started watching it without me, and while I’ve been sick he’s been watching while I was sleeping. I’d wake up and be like “are you watching that?? stop”

          It’s pretty good so far! I’m trying to decide who the real villain of the show is.

              Picard S3 really is the nostalgia bomb that the show should have been all along. I’m not going to say the plot is the most amazing or anything, but individual character moments to bring the old TNG people together and kind of give some characters resolutions they should have had long ago… that shit has been stellar.

                @Rucket Counterpoint: I am worried they are going to faceplant the landing about as bad as Rise of Skywalker, but we’ll see. Also there is potential for the Lower Decks tie-in, but they probably won’t even attempt it, either, and it upsets me.

                  The nostalgia really gets me.

                  I am kinda shocked they didn’t lean right into it from the start. I don’t and never cared too much for most of the new characters they’ve introduced - and to be clear, that’s not because they weren’t interesting or anything like that.

                  But I wanted to see Deanna, Riker, Worf and the gang get into debates with Data about what it means to be human again. Maybe play some classical music that’s somehow integral to the plot. Try to engineer the gismo that saves the day. Understand an unfamiliar culture instead of getting in there to fire their phasers at some enemy.

                  You know, Star Trek shit.

                  And since in S3 they are giving this to me, I am a happy person.

                    I’m probably the weirdo here, but I didn’t want to see more nostalgia. I mean, TNG already had two finales, decades before this new show was ever announced. How many finales does a show need? I wanted new stories and new adventures.

                    Unfortunately, the new stuff just wasn’t very good (badly paced, written to be unnecessarily convoluted, not terribly well shot), which is a shame but it happens.

                      We’re all weirdos here. 🙂

                      Yeah that’s a valid point of view. We can want different things!

                      My ‘counterpoint’ doesn’t invalidate yours either - if we’re not being nostalgic why not make an original series with different characters instead of reusing Picard, Seven, etc in the first place? But that’s what other Star Trek shows get to do.

                      I liked having one that looked back and gave me my childhood/early adulthood favorite characters back for a while longer, while the actors are still (mostly 🙂 ) able to pull it off…

                        @Arkandel Sure. I’m not trying to argue or change your mind. I was mostly putting it out there to see if I was the only one who felt that way.

                          While Picard had debatable success with all that nostalgia, Strange New Worlds has been a delight. It zooms back and forth between silly, timey-wimey, and intense psychological examination of the cost of war has on your humanity while breaking out into song.

                          Also, more horny Vulcans.

                            I was a little ehhh on season 2, in comparison with season 1, but then those last three episodes came one after the other.

                            Holy shit.

                                      It is really making me want to start looking for TrekMUs again, and as much as I love SPACE SIM, I also kind of want them to use the Modephius rules, and I do not think anywhere exists.

                                        I am loving One Piece so far. On EP 2 of the live-action, oh my! It feels excellent, I mean it’s one thing! But it still has lots of the feel, no spoilers here for now! The changes they have added, do great things for the story!

                                        Love how they introduce Zoro this time!

                                          I don’t watch television in general, and I’m not someone who ever really watches anime but I randomly tuned in to the One Piece live action this weekend and finished it, it was great.

                                            I am also really enjoying it! the only complaint about it I have was that my kiddo was so excited to see it, he’s a big fan of the original, but like…man, that’s some TV-MA violence for a TV-14 show, just imo. he’s 11, gonna have to wait.
