For me TNG is good right off the bat and has better individual episodes, the end is also not guff and Patrick Stewart is the best. But I'm not sure it can better the 2-3 series run of consistently good stuff that DS9 does.

I didn’t realise how far behind I was on Inside No. 9, so watched the first episode of series 3 last night. Probably should have seen the end coming in hindsight but it got me.
Sisko is such a fucking legend :cool:
The Stand is being remade.

Questionable timing...
It was announced about three years ago, wasn't it?
Can you get away with random episodes of Drive to Survive?
Pretty much, although there are loose 'storylines' that run through the series, but each episode has its own sort of focus.
I liked the latest Picard but I'm not keen on the pacing at all. The best thing about the older series was you could have a well explained stand alone episode which never felt rushed. Here we dip into set pieces then out rapidly before it's really explored.
Definitely all over the shop.
And as soon as those holograms appear they have to be muted, andToggle Spoilerwas absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah agree. It's such an outlandish coincidence that it's hard to get past it. Still, at least we got to see Riker.
Watched most of This Country last night and I loved it.
I need to get back in This Country. The last episode I watchedToggle Spoilerwhere am I upto?
That was the last episode of season 2.
You've got a special and then season 3 (which is 4 episodes deep right now) to watch.
:youpi:
Thanks.
Decided to start on The IT Crowd and whilst the first season was pretty good, the opener to the second season is brilliant.
The whole of it is fantastic, but yea, it definitely picks up after season 1.
Just try to avoid Linehan's real life thoughts on..... well, anything really.
Aye, he's a bit of a twitter twat.
The further I get into Watchmen (two episodes to go) the more I fear that it might be a load of old shit.
I suppose it has two episodes to tie everything together but I'm not really feeling the main story arcs as it's currently panning out or the thing as much of a sequel in general. The Veidt stuff is particularly ludicrous.
It definitely pulls everything together toward the end and those last few episodes are really good but I did sort of wonder what the point of making it was beyond somebody really wanting to do a Watchmen sequel.
And I think it makes the ending of the original less interesting.
I was the opposite. Quite enjoying it but felt it went to complete shit in the finale.
Interesting. How so? Because it got increasingly action-y or just that you weren't happy with how they actually tied it together?

The (disgracefully under-followed) 'No Context Sopranos' Twitter account has been in some right form recently. You forget how lol it is.
lol I thought that was Dr. Manhattan in a costume. I may have misunderstood the entire show.
:cab:
That's given me a proper good lol, Phonics. Needed that.
:D
That takes some effort.
Dream Team series 3 onwards on Youtube :drool:
Half tempted to throw in some Malcolm In The Middle, Simpsons and Rescue Me for ultimate Sky One nostalgia.
Fucking hell, how have I not found that before.
Just lock us down now.
Malcolm in the Middle was never anything more than horrendous.
Watch White House Farm - it's great.
Robots can teach themselves to mind meld. Okay.
Malcolm in the Middle is one of the best shows of the 00s.
I wasn't a fan.
Just finished Altered Carbon season 2.
I enjoyed it but I much preferred the first season. Kinnaman was a better lead and I liked the style of the first season a lot more, it felt more unique and engaging to me.
The season finale was very good though.
My main issue with malcolm in the middle is that I find lois a mostly irredeemable character. I know shes written to be a strict, authoritarian but ultimately loving parent but I always thought she was a cunt. Especially when compared to uncle phil and aunt viv in the fresh prince, for example.
Harsh, considering I think she’s written brilliantly and often based on my own mum. :uhoh:
I've started watching the original Star Trek. It's definitely got a certain charm to it still. Got to love Shatner chewing the scenery all over the shop. He also seems to unnecessarily have his shirt off quite a lot, and is always giving the eye to the female members of the crew, whether the story seems to call for it or not. I bet he went through half the cast.
I've noticed that the severity of Spock's eyebrows (and sometimes even his skin tone) seem to differ greatly from episode to episode. Also, I'm only about ten episodes in and there have already been two, separate instances of an evil, duplicate version of Kirk running around the Enterprise wreaking havoc. :D
There seems to be a new female which takes his fancy every single episode too.
