We're trying to rewatch Invasion now that it's concluded (or cancelled). First season is heavy going, lots of parallel plots that only slowly intertwine if at all, and not necessarily so much happening in every episode.
Next will be a For all mankind rewatch to be fully prepped for the upcoming season 5. Let's see if we can time it so we can binge the new episodes without a week's wait in between...
I'm late to the party, but started Starfleet Academy last weekend and am up to episode 8. Absolutely loving it and regret not watching it as it aired so I could gush about it with the rest of you all. That also caused me to miss the AMA with Karim, and that saddens me more than you can ever know.
Trying to stretch those out, so mixing in some backlog of Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, and The Golden Girls. As soon as I have the time and attention span to start another new series, I'm gonna watch A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
I’m on a rewatch of some other Roddenberry goodness, Earth: Final Conflict. I’m in season 2 now.
Non negligible amounts of plot holes looking back (and even at the time) but on the whole it holds up. I’m mostly watching it on a phone and I’m impressed at how good it still looks (most of the time).
Going through a Star Trek Voyager rewatch from the beginning. I’ve done this with TNG and DS9 a couple of times and constantly rewatch those episodes. I’ve only gone through Voyager once and I don’t rewatch it much, so it’s kind of newish to me again.
Other than that, reading my Star Trek novels from the thrift store and borrowing Blu-rays from the library to rip into my collection. I really want to do a watch of X-Files again!
If there's no new Trek, that means watching old Trek, right?
Trying to finish my full in-universe chronological franchise re-watch for the 60th anniversary, which means an average of maybe 75 minutes of watching Trek per day through September 8 if I want to get it to line up. I started back in April 2024, but there's a lot of Trek out there, and I'm already falling behind. (Ideally it would've been 58 minutes per day. This includes watching some episodes multiple times if they take place in multiple time periods.)
For what it's worth, we'll arguably get some new Trek soon whenever the "season finale" of Scouts comes out. 😂 Only one episode left if they don't get renewed.
I’m watching Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (M:LOM) which is in the midst of its second season on AppleTV.
And…my partner finally conceded to give the show a try. So, I’m rewatching season one with them. They say, based on being in the middle of season one that it’s the thing they’re enjoying most on tv just now.
While M:LOM does have creatures and kaiju battles, like the best Star Trek, the show’s emphasis is on its diverse characters and their stories.
The show has all the high quality we’ve come to expect of both AppleTV and Legendary Entertainment (Dune) science fiction productions.
M:LOM is designed as an entry point for those unfamiliar with the Monsterverse continuity or the 70+ year Godzilla franchise more generally. The action shifts back and forth between telling the stories of two generations: one in the mid 2010s and the other in the 1950s. It works well as it comes together at the end of season one.
I tried some time ago ST Prodigy and found too silly, I heard some encouraging comments about it and Im giving it another try. 6 episodes in Im enjoying it more than the last attempt.
I think tonight is going to be a Tron Legacy kind of night. I have phases where I watch it at least once a week and I think I’m entering one of those phases now.
Biding my time until Daredevil: Born Again drops season 2.
And waiting on For All Mankind season 5, but the trailer for it really didn't do anything for me so I'm not as pumped about its return as I've been in prior years.
