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 was disappointed with Invasion because Sam Neill wasn’t a lead. I only got up to the penultimate of season 1.

What am I watching? Well it’s always Star Trek. Other than that, The Office Superfan Episodes. Also started Monsterverse.

[–] haverholm@kbin.earth 1 points 2 days ago

Hey, Sam Neill was in most of the first episode! 😆 Yeah, that was a weird stunt casting choice.

Rewatching Invasion now, it's really not that good. It's as if somebody said during brainstorming, "Hey, slow burn is pretty big right now, how about we make this NO BURN?"

Something like half of the screentime is dedicated to a family that just seem to wander aimlessly around North America. Then smash cut to a few minutes of something actually relevant to the story.

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

[–] Ravenmark@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I am caught up on invincible and and fallout.

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

[–] Kabutor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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 5 points 3 days 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

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 3 days ago (1 children)

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

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.

Thank you for being a friend.

Skip Intro?

How dare you, Netflix?!

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

[–] haverholm@kbin.earth 3 points 3 days ago (11 children)

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 2 points 3 days ago

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

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).

[–] Hackworth@piefed.ca 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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 4 days ago

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

[–] rogermccoy@startrek.website 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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 3 days ago

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

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 3 points 3 days 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.

[–] Ftumch@lemmy.today 9 points 4 days ago

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

[–] rogermccoy@startrek.website 8 points 4 days ago (5 children)

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.

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!

probably some star trek

[–] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 8 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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 4 days ago (2 children)

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?

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

[–] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] CCMan1701A@startrek.website 2 points 2 days ago

Nice, my rower is in the utility room far from any tv .. might be time to change this...

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

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.
