Hello /c/sciencefiction lemmies. I've put together an image of some of the most discussed shows from July 2023.

Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching or plan on watching in August?

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

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

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.

Frankly, you'll enjoy Foundaton more if you don't read the books first. Otherwise, you'll be sitting there shaking you head wondering why they continuously mangle the core concept of the books so badly, despite characters occasionally directly stating how it works (only for the same episode otherwise showing utter disregard for said statement)

Lol, sounds like maybe I just shouldn't watch the show then.

You can always watch season 1 of silo, then read the books. It’s going to be awhile until we get season 2, and season 1 only covers book 1.

Veep. Some guys recommended it to me from the [email protected] sub. Thanks guys

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!

After hating the abominations that DIS and PIC where, I really enjoy SNW!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed on all points.

I can't believe all the praise for s3 of Picard. Are people really so excited to see the TNG actors on the screen that they failed to notice that the writers have them playing entirely different characters from who they used to be?

Honestly, even though the show is named "Picard", I can't see this Patrick Stewart character as the Picard I once knew.

Do you have any idea how bad the writing has to be before The same character played by the same actor seems like an entirely different person?

I mean, even when they fucked up Luke Skywalker in the sequel movies, he still felt like Luke Skywalker.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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.
