I haven’t watched TV in years; kids and my previous job really killed that.

There’s SO much out there since I last picked up a remote, and I have a fucking huge backlog.

I’m open to anything, as long as it’s well done.

Series I liked: Vikings, Norsemen (hysterical), The Americans, GoT, Man in the High Castle, Expanse, Spartacus (Batiartus is amazing)

I’m scratching the surface of Boardwalk Empire, but open to other rabbit holes.

    The spore drive is such a fundamentally stupid concept, i can’t believe this show was green-lit. Not to mention that it suffers from the same “more advanced technology than TOS, despite being nominally a prequel” problem that Enterprise does. They should have started from 900 years in the future, IMO.

      the tech itself is not more stupid than any other of the space magic in the show.

      I agree that it would have been much better if they didn’t do it as a prequel. But they basically retconned it into a future-timeline show in later seasons. Which helped a lot.

      My main problem (and that of a lot of people) is the complete focus on michael. and forcing a TOS connection of her via spock. It makes the universe feel small.

      Later seasons focused on more characters, but never could shake michael as a center point
