What are you binging at the moment?

[Zecke]

Since we all spend more time at home right now due to the human malware, what do you watch to pass the time? (P0rn doesn't count ;-))

I worked from home for almost a month but couldn't stand it. And then my company went straight against the governments policy which still is: work from home as much as possible unless you really really can't. But our policy now is: come to the office unless you are sick, displaying symptoms or someone in the same household as you has either tested positive for covid-19 or is awaiting testresults.

But anyway, I'm currently watching The 100 on Netflix. It has it's ups and downs but it does keep me watching because I wanna know what happens next.
Season 1 started as a cheesy teen-show. Season 2 was the best so far. I'm now at season 5 and it just keeps re-inventing itself by bringing in another faction or antagonist when they just dealt with the previous one. It is a bit frustrating to watch at times as they experience constant setbacks, and being double-crossed and betrayed and some characters just make dumb decisions but for some reason I keep watching it

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.

It's a little weird, and a little sad, but very entertaining. I encourage you to get past the first episode or two, it gets better as they set everything up and introduce everyone.

We've been watching Timeless and Travelers on Netflix lately, unfortunately that's done now so will have to find something else to watch...

I fiinished The Man in the High Castle yesterday, that was a kinda dark and bleak series, especially for a german. It gives off a twisted vision of what could have happened and it reminded me once again that we can never let it happen again.
But I think can use something comedic and lighthearted now. Like Star Trek Lower Decks xD

Not really binging but when I have the time I'm currently rewatching Star Trek Voyager, to me one of the best Star Trek series.

Yeah Voyager was good but imho DS9 was better. Character arcs and stuff.

[TheCaptain]

The only thing I didn't like about Voyager was mainly the final season. They didn't really make any big progress towards getting home and I kept wondering when was the main story going to continue because the season kept coming with filler episodes and holodeck novels and then suddenly it was all over in the last 2 or 3 episodes or something.

I might try DS9 after finishing Voyager, I tried before but could never get into it. So far I've watched Star Trek ENT, TNG, VOY, and the new Picard series. I didn't like Discovery

[Zecke]

DS9 has a huuuge bonus if you binge it. Due to the density of it, if you only watch one episode a week (as the original format was), the catchiness doesn't come across. But in the binge format, story and character arcs get a lot more dynamic. Don't get discouraged after the first few episodes, it takes a bit of world-building and character introduction before the stories really take off.

New season of Disenchanted.

And a constant loop of SG1.

[TheCaptain]

And a constant loop of SG1.

Oh yes, and that! Such a cool series, I've lost count how many times I've rewatched that over the past 10 years or so

[Zecke]

And a constant loop of SG1.

Best episode was the one with the time loop and O'Neal is golfing through the portal and losing. His. Mind.

[TheCaptain]

In the middle of my backswing?! And the bit where he drew that face on a plate with ketchup

EDIT: Damn, forum doesn't do all caps...

I like the one where O'Neill (with 2 L's) went invisible and the word-jokes Teal'c made about it

[Zecke]

And planting a big one on Carter xD

I've discovered a fault in Star Trek Voyager. They say they are 70.000 lightyears from earth and it would take 70 years to get back. I'm currently on Season 4, episode 1, Scorpions part II. The Borg wanted to turn Voyager back to the nearest Borg occupied planet and cancel the agreement to guide Voyager through Borg space after helping them defeat species 8472. In conversation between Chakotay and Seven of Nine, Chakotay argued that the trip back would take 5 days, in the wrong direction. Next, when Janeway recovers in sickbay, Chakotay tells her the Borg want to track back and says it's 40 lightyears.

So, 5 days to travel 40 lightyears would mean that 70.000 lightyears would take 1750 days, or 4.8 years.
