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 am caught up on invincible and and fallout.

If you haven’t watched knight of the seven kingdoms, I would highly recommend it

Still making my way through Voyager, for the first time.

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.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

It’s aimed at a younger audience but very much the continuation of Admiral Janeway and Starfleet, shame we won’t get a third season

[-] nix98@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I've been listening to X Minus One: https://archive.org/details/OTRR_X_Minus_One_Singles

Radio Plays from the 50s of sci-fi short stories.

I can't see anything through these tears. I'm in SFA withdrawl.

[-] haverholm@kbin.earth 2 points 12 hours ago

Right? I said it elsewhere, but given the show's global traction it would make so much sense to produce another Short Treks season to tide us over into season 2.

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 1 points 4 hours ago

I have no evidence to support anything other than that being a great idea

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago

I just watched The Agency on Showtime. It was outstanding, and I didn't want it to end. I'm also thinking watching classic Doctor Who from the beginning.

[-] haverholm@kbin.earth 2 points 12 hours ago

watching classic Doctor Who from the beginning

Oh, do it! It's kind of a slog by modern standards, but once you get into the rhythm of it, you understand why it became such a beloved, classic show. I watched it all a couple of years ago (minus the still image reconstructions), and it was quite rewarding 🙂

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Where did you find the earlier series to watch, and how was the quality?

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 19 hours ago

im going to be watching tos in about 20 minuts followed by tng.

[-] kieron115@startrek.website 7 points 1 day ago

probably some star trek

[-] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 4 points 19 hours ago

What's your favorite episode so far and why is it episode 4 and 5 combined?

[-] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 6 points 19 hours ago

Definitely those two. Ep. 4 and the Klingon's space play-fight with the Federation over the planet so they could "conquer" it was as adorable as it was believable. After 900 years, losing their homeworld, and nearly going extinct, they still hold on to their code of honor which is the only thing they really have left. Incredibly well done.

As for ep 5, I always shed a tear of happiness when a later series revisits DS9.

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.

[-] haverholm@kbin.earth 4 points 1 day ago

Wow, "full in-universe chronological franchise re-watch"? I'd need a spreadsheet for that, and at that point it'd feel like work more than pleasure 😆 So do time travel episodes like "Time's arrow" and "Past tense" enter first according to year, then I guess The voyage home, First contact and all of Enterprise?

[-] rogermccoy@startrek.website 3 points 13 hours ago

Basically. I have a spreadsheet with 1,300 watch items. Here are the first 10:

All Our Yesterdays The Inner Light Time's Arrow Time's Arrow, Part II The City on the Edge of Forever Storm Front Storm Front, Part II Little Green Men Far Beyond the Stars Carbon Creek

It's been a lot of research and adjusting as I go along. Plus a lot of semi-arbitrary choices between Memory Alpha order, Star Trek Chronology order, etc.

[-] anthropomorphized@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Second for the spreadsheet!

[-] SteleTrovilo@beehaw.org 3 points 1 day ago

I'd think that time travel episodes should be considered based on what time the crew is coming from, instead of where they go. So Voyage Home is still between STIII and STV, and First Contact is between Generations and Insurrection.

This will lead to minor troubles, mainly with Enterprise, since it has a few references to First Contact and The Tholian Web.

Also there's that one far future episode of Voyager where a copy of the Doctor has to clear Voyager's name, which doesnt involve time travel and must therefore be watched between seasons 2 and 3 of Discovery.

[-] haverholm@kbin.earth 4 points 1 day ago

Right, so you don't watch "The trouble with Tribbles" and "Trials and Tribble-ations" one after the other? Because I'm always tempted to 😃

[-] Ftumch@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago

I don't know, maybe I'll give Babylon 5 another watch. It's been a while.

[-] microcapybara@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 day ago

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).

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 3 points 19 hours ago

I loved Earth Final Conflict season 1. Total X-files vibes. Very mysterious and cool.

Season two was... fine. I genuinely can't believe it went on for three more after that.

[-] rogermccoy@startrek.website 6 points 1 day ago

If memory serves it started great with season 1, got gradually worse through early season 4, made a shocking comeback in terms of quality for the rest of the season, and then took a nose-dive with season 5. I'm curious how that ends up matching up with your viewing.

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 4 points 19 hours ago

This is my memory as well, except not so gradually after S1.

[-] Hackworth@piefed.ca 8 points 1 day ago

I always assumed Da'an's name was spelled D'on, and I thought it'd be fun if all alien names were just common names with a glottal stop. Fr'ank. Ge'orge. B'arry.

[-] haverholm@kbin.earth 7 points 1 day ago

New head canon, La'an from SNW is actually called Lon.

[-] dkppunk@piefed.social 9 points 1 day ago

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!

One of our kids recently suggested doing a TNG or Voyager rewatch again with me. It may be time.

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.

If the show works for you, please check out our newest community https://startrek.website/c/monsterverse.

[-] haverholm@kbin.earth 5 points 1 day ago

Oh, that's another show I'm holding out on watching until the current season is finished airing.

I sort of liked the first season despite the heavy "daddy issue" trope. I was hoping that would decrease with that s1 ending,

butlooks like Kurt Russell is still in the cast?

Season two is interesting.

Among other things, the two youngest Randas are in very contrasting places psychologically since Kentaro has had two years between seasons while Cate is dealing with the reality that others have had time to move on psychologically and she has not. (I really like season two Kentaro.)

[-] haverholm@kbin.earth 3 points 1 day ago

Interesting. But I'm also curious about the new kaiju you wrote about over in the Godzilla community. Metaphor for manmade climate change, huh?

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.

[-] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The Scrubs revival is surprisingly good, picking up like there hasn't been a 15-year gap since season 8*.

*Season 9 has been memory-holed.

I'm not watching anything 😭 have to use the time slot for exercise instead now.

The recumbent stationery exercise bike in our family room is the reason I watch as much television as I do.

It’s not intense exercise but it really adds up.

[-] end0fline@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 2 points 15 hours ago

Your comment reminded me that I still hadn't seen Tron: Ares, so I rectified that tonight.

It's...perfectly fine? It looked cool, it sounded cool, it had a basic plot that worked well enough. That meets the threshold of Tron expectations for me.

[-] end0fline@piefed.social 2 points 15 hours ago

I’m glad you finally watched it! Like Legacy, it was a treat to see at the theater for the music alone. I think it was a perfectly serviceable Tron movie and was a natural continuation from where Legacy left off.

[-] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 2 points 15 hours ago

It was a bizarre choice to exclude Sam and Quorra, but all things considered they did it pretty well. Shame we will likely never get the continuation that they laid the groundwork for.

[-] end0fline@piefed.social 2 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, I was stoked to see that picture that Ares was carrying around at the end of the movie, but then was sad when we all saw how the movie performed. We will get a continuation right after Tron: Uprising season 2.... 🙃
