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.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Mini Series. I normally like a good old fashioned creature feature with the monster being in the ocean....this one just was not that good IMO.



Kind of disappointed in this, Normally like Mike Flanagan movies/shows. This one was a tad too tweener. It is not terrible, but just kind of meh to me.

So that was two shows I was looking forward to and both have been disappointing.

Looking forward to Crystal Lakes and Yaga. I imagine Yaga will be the lesser of the two. I just hope one of those two turn out decent.

Started watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man on Disney. I like the alternate universe in this one. I also like all the callbacks that aren't quite the same.

I have been hooked on several westerns lately. Watched Deadwood and cant believe i never was interested in it before. Followed it up with the movie that came outc10 years later that resolved all yhe conflicts then watched Godless and really liked it. I say the finale gunfight was best gunfight ending in any western. Last week we finished hell on wheels. Great series about building the railroad in the late 1800s. Glad I was not born in that time.

Loved Deadwood.

Loved Hell on Wheels but the last season or two were kind of meh

You might like Longmire. It was basically a modern western with Longmire being the sheriff.

You do not get the magic of the Wu and Swearengen dialogue.

I saw one episode where they interact a lot. It was pretty epic, but not enough to keep me watching.

I'm not sure how long I lasted, but yeah, at some point early in season one it goes from great Western, to Shakespeare Meets the Wild West, and becomes a burden to follow.

Oh man, I love Deadwood. The girl the plays Calamity Jane is hilarious. And Ian McShane and Timothy Olyphant are both terrific.

Started watching it because of timothy olyphant. We had just finished justified and loved his Raylan Givens character. Had to find him in something else

The actress that plays her is an attorney in Sons of Anarchy. I kept doing her voice when she came on.
