After Neegan i think people would actually like to see the characters fighting for survival, as in subsistence living against hordes of Zombies and how they manage to avoid a scenario where someone dies in their sleep and raids the entire settlement.

Instead they try rolling out more baddies and it just doesn't work, all more of the same.

The beginning was epic though, wasn't it? Imagine waking up to a zombie apocalypse.

That start was as gripping as lost was initially. The first 5 minutes and I was like, HOOKED. When's the next episode????? Both those shows seemed to fizzle a little bit. I may go back to TWD though eventually. I always wondered if Rick ever came back.

LOST was shite the second that black smoke appeared.

It fell fast and hard. Was completely ridiculous toward the end. But damn, that first episode.

The book was really good.

Have any of you watched, "The UnXplained with William Shatner" on NetFlix?

We finished Dopesick (8 episodes) and thought it was very well done. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for something to watch.

I'm watching the third episode of The Old Man, and I just found out something amazing, that I will not reveal, for those that have not seen it yet. I will say that it has something to do with the TV series Arrested Development. Yeah, I'm liking this show.

[Esteban]

^^ there's a love story here, for sure.

I thought the twist in episode three was brilliant. I don't know if it's related to what you're talking about.

Same here. Should make the rest of this play out very interestingly.

Ok, what is "The Old Man" about? Sell it to me.

Yes, I'm sure we're talking about the same thing.

Here's the trailer.

Man there's a lot of "lone wolf good guy with crazy deadly skills vs big bad government" stuff at the moment. All with the exact same score apparently.

One of the things I like about The Old Man is that it tells 2 stories, with the other story being about the young man.

Captain Blood did you like Strange New Worlds e8 because you have kids? Or just because?

My kids don't really watch or read any science fiction.
I love the writing, the characters (particularly Ethan Peck), and the CGI. They don't hit it out of the park every time, but it's been a great show, even the ones that are less interesting. I would rate it as good as the original series, certainly better than the next generation.

Did you watch episode 8, with the choice the Dr. had to make? That was why I asked.

They were again BOLD in casting characters, much like in the original series. Uhura was queen, and Dr. was king. Pike was the sniveling weak assistant

I quit watching after the whole barbed-wire bat thing.

Since the beginning I've thought it was a weird Bible analogy. No electricity, no water, no care, but somehow Rick stays alive in a coma?

I think I said this earlier, but Captain Pike reminds me a lot of of John Hamm
