I'm currently watching "The Missing" on Netflix. I've finished Season 1 and am now 3 episodes into S2. The second season starts off much better, I think, and the whole concept of this series is very interesting!

I keep going back and forth - do I like Fringe or X-Files, Fringe or X-Files. Fringe wins. But tough choice. Mulder and Scully are awesome.

The end of Ozark…is weird for me. It feels it’s not the end. Are they planning something after or is it done on purpose. Doesn’t feel like a conclusion to a story.

It was a bit of a shocker, but how do you end a show like that? Drugs and money laundering isn’t going anywhere in real life, so it would be unrealistic to make it look like it has on TV. I think they did very well. It’s over, but it isn’t.

Finished up Moon Knight. I liked it. A little confusing with all the split personality shenanigans and alternate perceptions, but dug the “super heroes as avatars of deities” angle. Opens up a bunch of possibilities for storylines. Kinda adjacent to Neil Gaiman‘s “American Gods”. The book anyway, I never saw the tv show.

Finished Star Trek Picard season 2. It's too long. It felt boring at times, they could have done 5 episodes and it would have been enough. But I really, really enjoyed the last episode. It reminded me so much about good old Star Trek.
There were two things that I absolutely loved...
Picard giving Q a hug before he died. He did the whole thing for Picard, to help him, he cared about him. Q always came over as the bad guy, very annoying, so this was a little different. They said goodbye as friends and it only took them 35 years. I've never been a Q fan, never liked him. After 35 years I have to say, I'm going to miss him.

The second thing I really loved... Wesley or rather the traveler. Wow, just wow. Finally we got a glimpse what Wesley did since he left in TNG season 7. I'm going to ignore his appearance in Nemesis. Been wondering if/when we would see him, had hope for season 3, but Wheaton said he's not going to join the crew for season 3. So this was very welcome, real shame they didn't let him talk the Picard. That would have been a nice touch. But his role and what he / the travellers do reaches all the way back to Gary Seven from TOS. That episode aired over 50 years ago. I hope we get a little more of him in season 4 or 5 or...


That being said. I started Star Trek Strange New Worlds. Why exactly do we need this? It starts after the events of Discovery travelling to the future. I get it, people freaked out when we got Pike in Discovery, but a new series to bring him back? And what's with Spock looking like he's wearing a wig? For some reason he looks worse and older than young Leonard Nimoy. Also, we can't do without the name Kirk? Even if it's Samuel Kirk, which ironically was played by Shatner with a fake beard in TOS, but only as a dead character. I'm not sure where this is going, but so far it seems a little boring. Time will tell.

Cos he was

so this was a little different.
Nope, still annoying as hell

Good riddance.

Not a 100% nerd out Trekkie, but the Samuel Kirk would be James T's brother while I assumed this was their father the guy that will save his crew while being in command for 5 minutes in the 1st reboot-movie.

But all in all it does seem this show will go back to TOS and in some degree ENT, aka cowboys in space (just not as cringe as in Firefly??)

I finished Outer Range on Prime last night. I thought it was kind of slow and could have been shorter but the revelations in episodes 7 and 8 made it worth while and have me eagerly awaiting more.

It would have been nice if you had put those answers in spoiler tags.

Terrible last season. Terrible acting.

Really liked it and can't wait for season 2! The main character is great and fits the roll. big ole thumbs up!

I finished it today, a couple of daft moments but overall it was great, well done and a bit old school, stayed away from woke rubbish, just an old school thriller writing.
Now I need to finish Outer Range.

Finished Outer Range yesterday. Meh. While the last episode speeds things up a little, it's just a confirmation of things that were somewhat obvious after episode 2 or 4 (they release two episodes per week). So we got some confirmation and some things are still left open, there really wasn't any surprise. Overall, the season was too long and too much family drama instead of mystery. They should pick up the pace for season 2, if it get's renewed.

Well, Ozarks is all wrapped up. The ending? It’s a bit of a cautionary tale, like the scorpion and the frog. Not a satisfying conclusion, in my mind, but whatever, it made it’s point and I think this is how it ultimately intended to end from the start.

They could have dragged it out, but they didn’t. And they could have ended it any number of ways. On the other hand, after a good start, I think The 100 went on way too long. The last few seasons were just plain boring, but for some reason I pushed it, several days of my life I’m not getting back.

I'm late to the game, but started Doom Patrol. I like it so far. It's one of these over-the-top shows, but still done very well. Plus, Mark Sheppard is in it, so it can't be bad. :p

Don't get me started. Loved The 100, but it should have ended after season 5. They never should have blown up earth again, they never should have used the space ship to escape to another world. While the end of that season (the whole Monty thing) was very powerful, it went to hell after that. It essentially repeated the Alie VR-thing in real world and if that wasn't enough, they copied the Stargate plot for the last season. It was painful to watch. Perfect example of what happens when writers run out of ideas, steal stuff from other shows and make details up as they go.
