What are you Watching? (August 2023)

I’m watching Foundation (just started, so I’m on s01e01!), Silo, and I’m planning to rewatch Babylon 5.

They Cloned Tyrone is a surprise for me. Great modern scifi/blaxploitation film, though I have about 30 minutes left to finish.

Finally finding the time to finishAndor and what the fuck?! How is it so good???

Strange new Worlds. I think it's the best Star Trek series since the original. I don't think the casting is particularly great, but Anson Mount makes up for it. Like William Shatner was born to be Captain Kirk, Anson Mount was born to be Captain Pike.

Currently watching Farscape. Such a bonkers show. About to finish second season.

Rewatching The Expanse. First 3 seasons are so intense and so good

Watched silo, then read silo. Excited to see how the show adapts the next book.

I've been binging Lower Decks and looking forward to the new season, it's really a solid show and is definitely more than it seems.

Red Dwarf re-runs, now and forever 😁

Rewatching Westworld, the first season was truly a masterpiece.

I've been working my through TNG. Watching every episode in order for the first time. I've always loved the show, but I only used to catch random episodes when they'd come on TV as a kid. Been slowly working my way through all of Trek for about two years. I started with ToS and it's movies, then watched The Animated Series.

Strange New Worlds, I've been watching as new episodes release, but when I heard the praise for the Lower Decks crossover, I decided to start and finish Lower Decks before I catch up on SNW. I'm about halfway through the second season of Lower Decks right now.

Discovery almost killed my interest in New Trek, but man the Orville and SNW really revived my love of Star Trek.

Once I finish Lower Decks, I'll get back up to date with SNW and keep working through TNG. Once I finish TNG, I think I'm gonna start Picard.

Oh, and I've also been keeping up with Futurama and recently watched Hello Tomorrow! And The Big Door Prize on Apple TV. They were both okay.

I'm watching Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I don't know how I missed this back in 2008. It's real good.

Man, I wish to see more of The Expanse

Foundation and a re-watch of Rebels (so good!)

Currently re-watching The Orville for the 100 somethingth time! Love the show so much!

I've been watching the X-Files. Back in the day I'd only ever sometimes catch episodes here and there on TV, so this is actually the first time I've sat down to watch the whole thing. Only partway through season one at the moment, but really digging it.

Still waiting for the new season of "For all mankind", started right after when the Expanse ended, right now I'm starved for a good scifi

I’m enjoying strange new worlds. Best trek since voyager. Though s3 Picard was fun as hell.

Currently watching Second season of Foundation. And also started watching 3rd rock from the sun.

Mid-way through the second series of Dark. It is consuming me. It's so well done, there's not even time to consider plot holes.

I'm rewatching Lexx. The greatest and best show ever made!

Just finished Orphan Black again. Still a fav.

Right now Strange New Worlds which has been extremely good this season following the merely OK first episode; Foundation which seems to have improved the weakest arc - the actual Foundation arc - from the first season; and Futurama which, on the evidence of the first episode, I can best characterise as being 'back'.

Strange New Worlds has been dropping straight bangers

Very nice list. I’m watching Secret Invasion, finished watching Silo (now reading the first book), and I plan to rewatch Babylon 5 to get ready for the reboot and also the new animated movie. I also intend to continue watching Star Wars Rebels (only watched the first three seasons).

A friend wanted to show my SO and I Twelve Monkeys (the TV series) badly enough to buy the whole thing as a box set, so the three of us have been working our way through it, we're in season 2 now - it's been a lot of fun

Fringe, and rewatching agents of shield

I watched Silo on my 3-month free trial to Apple TV. Great show, 100% recommend.

Started watching Farscape. I've only seen season 1 when it aired in Finland the first time. It's stuck with me ever since and while it certainly has a lot of problems, it holds up quite well as a camp scifi action show.

Currently in the middle of season 3 of that 90s sci-fi show Sliders. The theme definitely, to me, goes from amazing in seasons 1 & 2 to what feels like more of a campy and more generic theme, but so far I am still enjoying the show.

I think "I'm a Virgo" is flying under most people's radar. Just finished it a couple days ago and I highly recommend it. It doesn't initially present as scifi but there are definitely scifi elements that come in to play.

Also S2 of Good Omens was great. It felt a little... pointless compared to the stakes in S1 but the writing was great and it was a very fun watch.

Nice list! Thanks for that. What is "From?" Wouldn't have heard of it had I not seen this.

I'm waiting patiently each week for a new Strange New Worlds and Futurama.

Good Omens, just finished like candy, Lexx, struggling, worth it ? compare to Andromeda S1...

Recently started a TNG rewatch and was surprised how many good episodes were actually in seasons 1 and 2.

Edit: Why did autocorrect turn seasons into dragons?

I'm watching Blake 7. It's giving be a Tom Baker Dr. Who vibe.

Deep Space 9, first watchtrough, last season, 5 eps to go.

Can't wait to see how they wrap this up!

Just finished Titans. Almost finished with Babylon 5 rewatch #14. Gets better every rewatch.

Looking forward to the last episodes of Silo.

Currently rewatching agents of shield, season 5 right now. As always, was floored by the Aida character, mallory jansen was phenomenal in that role, absolutely killed it.

Strange New Worlds is marvellously strong this season. I’ll also watch anything Star Trek in first run but it’s appointment television this season.

I watched Silo and liked it. Read Wool, the first book, after the season finale and found the characters thin, 2D.

I picked up the remastered DVD set of the 1970s show the Star Lost because Silo reminded me of its premise somewhat. I’m working through them.

I want to watch foundation and silo, but want to try reading them first. Unfortunately, I don't think I have any good sci-fi to watch at the moment other than those two.

Two episodes from finishing Silo. It's a solid 7/10 for me, so far.

I'm reading Dune :)

Mainly The Witcher, Strange New Worlds, and Foundation at the moment.

Strange New Worlds we're enjoying. On episode four.

Finished the two seasons of From that are out recently :) more like binged watched them actually 😅 I loved it, I was afraid of watching a modern kind of lost (never really got into it), but it is totally different, and rally my type of sci-fi horror/thriller. The actors are also doing a great job!

Currently watching Dollhouse which I'm not sure if qualifies as scifi. Planning on watching Altered Carbon after this though.

I have always loved Stergate. I grew up watching this and I rewatch the whole thing every few years and I have been itching to rewatch it soon. Also just recently finished The Expanse. It was hands down the best scifi show in recent history, my favourite will always be Firefly though.

Star Trek: Enterprise.

Archer is kind of a shit captain tbh, he literally can't cope with leadership outside of "that's an order", but it's nice to see how the federation came to be.

Me and the missus have binged "Citadel" this past week and its shaping up to be a solid sunday-show! The spinoff coming in 2024 seems fun too!

currently trying to finish up season 2 of the mandalorian so i can finally start season 3! problem is i've got too many shows i'm trying to work through lol.

Veep. Some guys recommended it to me from the !moviesandtv@lemmy.film sub. Thanks guys

I really enjot fan made Star Trek New Voyages: https://youtube.com/@startrekphase2DE

Silo is great! Cant wait for the new season. Considering reading the books before it comes out

I just started watching The Orville (Fun little story: when I went to start it I got it mixed up with The OA, and spent the whole first episode of that wondering when the spaceship was going to show up). I'm not sure I'd call it good TV, but it's enjoyable!

Kids are watching Clone Wars. I'm caught up on SNW. I'm at season 4 of TNG. I plan on watching from TNG up to Enterprise, including movies.

My first watch of DS9!

Currently finished the last season of STD, will finish the latest season of STP, and going to start the 2nd season of Foundation.

Strange New Worlds, and From.

My go-to comfort show that I'm always re-watching is Mystery Science Theater 3000. But I've also been watching Uploaded on Prime and I'm enjoying it a lot, although the second season less so than the first.

I just recently watched silo, and I'll be keeping up with that, I'm keeping up with strange new worlds, and I've recently started a re-watch of Stargate.

I'm all left.

A rewatch of "The Expanse" and occasionally Star Trek:TOS. SNW Is unwatchable.

Red dwarf

Electric Dreams

It was recommended to me as "what [Black Mirror] should have been."

I binged the first five episodes a week after the newest season of Black Mirror was released and the remaining five just this week.

Nothing. YouTube, i guess. Hopefully Oppenheimer some time this month. Tv has been so disappointing lately. It all feels so samey, so much like Disney, which feels like everything.
