I'm watching the sitcom Tacoma FD. It's on Crave in Canada and TruTv in the USofA.

https://www.trutv.com/shows/tacoma-fd

It takes place in a firehouse in Tacoma, Washington. Funny but not PC.

I finally got around to finishing Black Mirror and it was good. I did like episode 1 the best.

I re-watched Extraction and then watched Extraction 2 which I liked

We both watched and liked:

I've been watching & rewatching all the Marvel & Star Wars series on Disney+, but I have the feeling I'm the only one on here that's really into them :D

Not like you but we did just watch the 4 episodes of Secret Invasion and I just checked that episode 5 comes out tomorrow.

I also watched Muscles & Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators and it was good background noise while working. I use to watch it way back when so nice flashbacks.

I'm enjoying Secret Invasion, but a word of advice to anyone thinking about watching it: watch (or rewatch) Captain Marvel first |shake|

I really like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Showtime.
I've always been a Star Trek fan.
I'm on Ep 8 of S1 now.

I watched Army Of Thieves yesterday (2021 film) which was much better than I thought it would be. Sucked me in where I watched far more than got work done.

Figures, wife is going away for the weekend so I should wait OR just watch it and not tell her :D

JustRobert 2023-11-13 01:45 PM

Didn't watch Loki over the weekend but I did watch Blue Eye Samurai which I thought was great. Don't normally mention the anime stuff I watch but this one was worth mentioning.

Evil Chris 2023-11-24 01:38 PM

Bodies (Netflix)

Good sci-fi, time travel type of stuff.

Greenguy 2023-11-28 08:06 AM

JustRobert - PLEASE give me the Cliff's Notes version of WTF is going on with this Dr Who show I watched last night!

JustRobert 2023-11-29 10:23 AM

First off, Dr Who regenerates, brilliant, which is why different actors across 60 years.

Last Dr was female (first female Dr) and she regenerated into this Dr which happens to be a past Dr that Donna was a traveling companion of. Rose, Donna's daughter name, happens to be the name of a traveling companion of this Dr's before Donna as well.

These are specials which happen around the holidays and I believe there is just one more with this Dr before he regenerates into the new Dr (Ncuti Gatwa) which will be the first Dr of color and possibly gay. He previously played a gay character in the show Sex Education (I found this show quite funny and it's on Netflix).

I believe they are doing these specials with this Dr (David Tenant) because his character with companions Donna and Rose really brought in a mass global viewership their first time around.

As for the episode itself, when we finished watching we both felt like someone had fast forwarded through some scenes (probably cut for time) so that probably didn't help new viewers like yourself.

Ummm... ok?|lol|

I have the feeling I'm going to get in over my head if I travel down this rabbit hole of watching old episodes to get "caught up"

*ALSO*
True story: When I was a kid, Dr Who was on PBS, which had all kinds of kids programming back then. I remember watching it once & being scared shitless by the traveling phone booth. I swear, it haunted me for YEARS!|lol|

They did carry the first run of shows before they went on hiatus. Spooked a lot of children so you're not alone :)

Then they fired it back up in 2005, this is when I started watching, on BBC America. I'll admit that the Weeping Angels give me the heebie jeebies sometimes.

The good part is you don't have to get caught up and it looks like D+ deal is from this point forward so you shouldn't be tempted |lol|

These special are different to get viewership back, my opinion, before the new Dr enters and then it'll move forward like normal and will much easier to follow along, hopefully.

ArtWilliams 2023-11-30 11:56 AM

Watching on Discovery the last couple of seasons of

I Almost Got Away With It
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1420152/

It's a true crime documentary that is very interesting and yet badly done. They interview the ex-fugitives, now prisoners, about their crimes. They also recreate them. Often actors will have multiple roles like brother of the criminal and then you'll see him as gas station attendant later in the same episode. The props are crappy and sets look fake. That's part of the fun.

jollyhumper 2023-12-03 10:49 AM

I have just finished the 3rd season of Star Trek Discovery.
If they had cut down on the emotional reaction shots, the season would have been half as long |lol|

I do not understand a word of their technical dialogue either, but I love it.
Looking forward to begin S04

J:)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr Who! 1st was good, 2nd was great, 3rd I have to rewatch, but I did like it.

I'd forgotten how much I love that Douglas Adams style of writing with what seems to be inconsequential foreshadowing.

Glad you like it because I know how picky you can be sometimes with sci fi. I totally brain farted and did not realize the 2nd and 3rd specials aired until yesterday |banghead| Hopefully watching tonight with the wife!

They don't seem to be following any sort of release schedule|lol|

I won't spoil 3 if you didn't see it yet :)

JustRobert 2023-12-12 10:08 AM

We watched specials 2&3 last night and they were really good. Far better than the disjointed 1st one, imo. At least we know the next one is the Xmas special.

So I searched Dr Who & found 13 seasons on HBO Max and I watched the 1st 3 episodes of Season 1...

Tell me it gets better|lol|

I had to check the link to see where they started which is when it rebooted after a 16-year hiatus. This is when I started watching.

It does get better. I liked Rose but thought the Dr was OK. The only spoiler I'll give is that he's there for only one season. The Dr for season 2 is played by the actor from the current 3 specials you just watched. This is where IMO the shows got much better.

BTW I have MANY questions! Like in S1 E7, Rose had a different boyfriend all of a sudden, then next episode, it's back to the black kid |huh|

I should also mention that I LOVE the cheesy effects|lol|

Greenguy 2023-12-27 09:18 AM

|tardis| UPDATE

I just finished S2, where I got to see Donna for 1 episode. I thought she might pop back up at the beginning of S3, but it's just Martha Jones now.

I'm not going to watch the new ones again until after I get caught up so I can rewatch the 1st 3 & see everything I missed |thumb

JustRobert 2023-12-27 10:11 AM

You're moving right along and I understand watching all those and rewatching the specials leading up to the new DR and then Xmas special. New episodes dont start till spring so you got time |thumb

Greenguy 2024-01-01 09:13 AM

Just started S4 with Donna |thumb

I've been meaning to tell you: When I was a teen, my friends & I watched the Sex Pistols movie Sid & Nancy. Early on, Johnny Rotten & Sid were eating franks & beans when Johnny suddenly started shouting EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

From then on, for no reason, my friends & I would just start shouting EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! at each other|lol|

Here's the clip on the YouTube

I just got to the end of S4 where he wipes Donna's memory. Onto the next Christmas special, as they really seem to like them a lot |santa2

Bitconned (Netflix)

The scam story of Centra Tech. Really good watch.

jollyhumper 2024-01-17 01:19 PM

I have seen the first episode of True Detective s04 on HBO.
Looks promising, I'm sure it will be a good one.
Jodie Foster is good, as always |thumb
