Any shows or flicks we should check out? My partner wants a break from their first foray into Deep Space Nine.

    We just remembered we’re halfway through Cosmos: A Personal Voyage.

      Yeah we should get back to BSG. Those first couple of seasons are great and my partner hasn’t seen it. Been meaning to check out Shadows and Our Flag, thanks for the reminder!

    Any limits on sources? Any particular genre you’d prefer?

    Just work your way down the IMDB Top 250

        Not…Trek…? I’m not sure I follow.

        Do you want to watch Lower Decks?

          I’m not a fan of anything since DS9. We will eventually finish DS9 one day, check out Voyager because like I said it does have it’s moments but then we’ll leave it there. I can’t get into any of the new stuff, it all seems pretty scattershot.

            I’ll just say, a lot of the newer stuff has been more miss than hit for me, but Lower Decks is absolute top-tier Trek.

    I recently started rewatching S1 of Shadow and Bone, since I was surprised to learn S2 came out in March (shows how much attention I pay to Netflix lately). It can be a bit ‘YA’ sometimes, but the aesthetics and world-building are enough to keep it interesting.

      I didn’t mind the first season but I dont remember much. I liked the setting and some of the minor characters more than the leads (the actors are fine, just the characters were kinda meh). I vaguely remember the story partly being told through flashbacks. I despise flashback storytelling.
