Yes, you need a really strong storyline to fill that many episodes.

Finished Stranger Things and on to Sherlock.  Only got the first episode (movie) done.  Finding time to watch it will be slightly challenging, I feel.  Also giving Galavant a try.  It's pretty good, though I feel could be better.  Also, catching up on the last season of Big Bang Theory.  I don't care if other's don't like it, I do.
Me and Wissenlander had babies!

not together.

finding photographic evidense that Wiss smiles is going to be hard...

Always the nonconformist. :::cheers:::

I tried to get into "Into the Badlands". (That could have been phrased better.) I really like the opening credits.

Unfortunately, the rest is rubbish.

Into the second season of Star Trek: A New Generation.  I feel like I'll never get through it all.

Series one and two were the absolute worst.

While I agree with that assessment - the Tasha Yar subsect of religiously hardcore Trek fans just issued a Fatwa on your ass.

I'd love to hear someone defend that episode where the people from 'planet of the Irish stereotypes' get dumped (by the Enterprise) on the planet of 'people who reproduce by cloning' and Picard tells them they have to have sex with each other.

Good luck! I think the last episode of series 2 is a clip show!

Are you discussing "The Next Generation" ?

Or is there a 'New' series I know nothing about?

I don't think there was any Guinness involved.

I've been watching Mystery science theatre 3000 via a smart TV
For those not in the know, MST3K is a show in which either Joel Robbison or Mike Nelson and their robot puupet companions 'watch' an old movie [usually of the B grade variety] and have a mocking commentary over the top of it.
If you thought Battlefeild Earth was a bad sci fi movie, check out 'Space mutiny' instead. Atleast Travolta wasnt trying to defeat his enemies by running over them in a pimped out golf cart

I forgot about the thrilling subplot where Worf has Klingon measles.

Also, it's funny that the story was intended to be pro-immigration and pro-abortion, but managed to give the exact opposite impression.

When I was 9, one of my friends would always get me to watch TNG with him. It used to bore me to tears

I never really watched it, but my impression has been more of a drama than sci fi.

Most of the episodes he showed me prominently featured Wesley and the female security chief [Trisha Yard?]
Anyway, from what I understand, Wesley is hated in the fanbase for good reason. Honestly; what were the writers thinking: "why get the robot or Leforge to fix something when the obnoxious teenager can" :eusa_wall:

Not sure if VHS tapes count, but I'm finishing Frank Delaney's 1987 BBC mini series The Celts, while going through my VHS/DVD collection to see what I want to keep and what can go into the yard sale.
This one's a keeper.

As for current shows, there is literally NOTHING on TV worth a minute of my time, with the possible exception of the weather forecast.
Lies & propaganda, all of it.

I didn't catch the pro-abortion part? Is it supposed to be justified when they phaser their stolen cell clones?

It didn't really seem like a pro abortion moment.
