I can't get around to watching everything, so I have to choose which one that I really want. imageManaged to stay awake to watch the grand tour for the first time. At the moment I think it's a bit boring.Been watching Deep Space Nine for the second time, that's on Monday to Friday. Got the next generation and voyager on DVD. Have you watched the ghost whisperer? Got that on dvd. It's good, it's got a story ark through it.image

    Aym, ah you do know a lot about place to call home. I wasn't thinking of that baby, got things muddled up.image

    Ds9, is a star trek production. Based on a space station, orbiting a planet call bajour. The people on the planet have just fought off a 50 year occupation of the Cardasseions and from the space station. So the federation of planets help bajour to re build their lives and their planet. Where the space station is there's a worm hole where ships can travel through it,traveling from one galaxy to another. But on the other side there's a race that doesn't like it called the Dominion, they've bread a race called  the jem hadah, to fight for them, so they start a war with the federation and any body who gets in there way. But they can join them.And be controlled by them.

    I watched Six Wives aym, it was interesting to hear more about the history of the wives and not focus on Henry so much. 

    I like "The Trek" too Loganimage. Wasn't that keen on the Dominion War storyline though. Voyager is my favourite, but I still have a soft spot for the "cheesiness" of TNGimage. Live long and prosper

    Aym, red dwarf is good. But it's more of a comedy than star trek.image

    Watching strictly tonight. Seen last night's it takes two, they showed a clip of a colie dog watching strictly and he  was close to the tv bobbing up and down to the dancers.image

    Kitty2, live long and prosper.image

    Red Dwarf was meant to be funny.  I remember loving the first series of Star Trek back in the 60s but when I see it now it is unintentionally funny and cheesy.   OH and I also enjoyed the later spin-offs but Voyager was our favourite, especially after 7 of 9 joined the cast.

    Loved that dog on SCD2 last night.   Our two only react to wildlife or acts, dogs and doorbells on TV.  

    The best bit about Xmas TV is the old musicals.  They said that last week's Musicals SCD had them all but they missed out all the Fred Astaire and Gen Kelly decades and many more.

    Looking forward to Xmas Bake Off and Last Tango but don't know about any other goodies yet.

    Aym, ok. Look forward to seeing it.image

    The only thing is Friday's show is its an hour long, which is too long.image

  • LoganLogan Posts: 2,532

    Aym, I'm glad that you have watched the other series.image Have you watched Happy Valley?image

    Kitty, Obelixx, there's a new series of star trek to be made next year, about may time. Because it will be the 50th anniversary of star trek.Starting in the states, it will be a bit like ds9, the story will go on through the series.image

    Yes I know red dwarf was meant to be funny. I liked it at the time and my son had all the tapes.image

    Which I had to put up with, but I didn't mind really.image

    I've heard whispers about "Discovery" online Logan, but still not sure where the plotlines sit in the Star Trek universe?  Didn't get into the "Enterprise" series as I was still busy with job & young 'uns when it premiered. This one seems to be coming to Netflix, with Bryan Fuller at the helm.

    I did enjoy the movies in the JJ Abraham's reboot series, an exciting new timeline with more than a few "nods" to the back storyimage. He was able to create a new story whilst tickling the boxes for die hards ( in the same way as DS9 Trials & Tribbleations did)

    Logan - never saw the Enterprise series as by then we were in Belgium with only BBC1 and 2 on cable so 2 decades of ITV and other channels passed us by.   Now we have satellite so can catch up on stuff on the many channels that just seem to do repeats.

    Will have to keep an eye out for the new Star Trek but May will mean longer days and warmer weather and more time outside and less in front of the box - in theory.
