Since I haven't seen it yet, I can't really comment, but I have that technique used in many other series. I always thought of them as time fillers. It is how you take a two hour movie and make it into an 8 episode series. Many of those episodes that go back to fill in the back story, at least in my opinion, can be done in a few minutes. It is just another idea that has been overused and is now cliche.

No, that's not the case here. Everything is important, and intense. They could have just shown everything in chronological order, but at the end of each episode they show the present, to remind you of what's at stake, and ....I don't want to give anything away, so I'll leave it at that.

Let's just say I think this was a very effective way to up the intensity.

Star Trek Stange new worlds.
This current season was a mess. There were a few episodes I liked, some that were just meh and some that were *** episodes.

I like the idea of trying new things. Especially with Star Trek, if you have watched a number of the different shows, you will see they tend to have a few basic stories in each one....A haunted place, some reason where the majority of the crew are missing and only one member is awake and present. An episode where the crew is in a fairy tale setting or a vintage earth setting. You get the idea.

So i applaud trying new things for a series that has had many incarnations. However, some of the new things are just goofy. The everyone is singing episode, this seasons puppet episode or the soap opera one. Just goofy. In the past that would be a Q episode.

It is a shame this series has went off the rails. I think it has some good characters and cast. But there is only one more season and I hope they at least do a better job like in the first two seasons compared to these last two.

Discovery was much better IMO

I really liked Discovery until about Season 4. At that point, it just got too weird and disappointed. I can see why they quickly decided to end it. It had gone off the rails.

Wrapped up season 1 of Stuart Fails to Save the Universe last night. That went by way too fast. I wish the episodes were longer. At any rate, I really enjoyed it and look forward to season 2.

Agreed. The episodes fly by much too quickly and always leave me wanting more.

It would have been much better without all the heartfelt speeches, with only minutes or less to save the ship.

Australian 6 episode mini series.

Not bad. This is one you can watch with the wife as it is like something you would see on lifetime but just better overall quality.

At the time posting this, there is only one more episode left.

Peacock has 2 October premieres I'm eager to watch:
- Disclosure Day, Spielberg's aliens movie, free to stream in about a week
- And I'm going to watch the Crystal Lake TV show that spins off of Friday the 13th

Always down for a Netflix documentary. Good one coming out this week about Lorne Michaels, SNL Creator. Always a sign you're about to die when Netflix pulls out the life documentary for you -- Jerry Jones, Hulk Hogan, Vince McMahon, Arnold Schwartzengger, and so on....

Go into Disclosure day with lower expectations and you will be ok. It was so hyped up esp with it being a Spielberg movie that it was hard to live up to the hype. I personally liked it but many were disappointed.

Also...Looking forward to the Crystal Lake show as well.

I have not watched a full season since Season 6. Season 5 was terrible but 6 was bearable. Tried watching a few episodes of the next couple of seasons and just quit watching it all together.

Season 13 trailers made it look like they might have a mashup of the Coven season and the Freak Show season which both were pretty good and Twisty the Clown was pretty wild.

SO i decided to try this season. Oddly they were only half hour episodes when they used to be an hour. They let out the first three episodes at once. It was do discombobulated that I was thinking here we go again.
A week later they put out the next three episodes. I watched episode 4 and that was it for me. Had to quit it. Seen a few others saying the same thing. Was jumping around too much, hamfisted and just confusing.


Which again is a shame as the first few seasons were good. The cast always did a good job as well.
