That was really impressive.A Dark Song has been on my radar a long time. Finally got around to watching it, and it very much lived up to my expectations. Highly recommend it for fans of Gothic Occult Horror, emphasis on the occult. Without revealing anything, a middle-aged professional woman meets up with a strange geeky man and the two hole themselves up in a Welsh mantion for several months to perform a lengthy ritual from a grimoire.
They're all new to me as I never watched more than a handful of episodes when it first came on the air. I've finally begun the 7th season after several months of intermittent viewing. The scripts are hit-or-miss but the characters are enjoyable. 1st season was not so hot and I was disappointed they killed off one of the few characters to actually have a personality at that point.About to start So4E10 The Loss
Yep, first season has a few stinkers in it. I skipped a few on my recent watch because when it came on I found myself rolling my eyes going... "Uggh THIS one"They're all new to me as I never watched more than a handful of episodes when it first came on the air. I've finally begun the 7th season after several months of intermittent viewing.

The idea of sitting around on a space station and not exploring doesn't appeal to me much but I may give it a look once I get through The Next Generation.Yep, first season has a few stinkers in it.

I HIGHLY recommend DS9 if you haven't watched it yet. IMO, it is the best Star Trek series out there.
They do explore, the wormhole central to the show is the doorway to the Gamma Quadrant. They use runabouts at first and then later get the defiant. Its much more than sitting around on a space station... much, much more. ;)The idea of sitting around on a space station and not exploring doesn't appeal to me much but I may give it a look once I get through The Next Generation.
You need to make that a triple and include Howard the Duck.I am trying to find a time and a platform for my double feature of Super Mario Bros and Masters of the Universe, and then hopefully an audience.
Deep Space Nine is the most consistently well written Star Trek series. Full stop.The idea of sitting around on a space station and not exploring doesn't appeal to me much but I may give it a look once I get through The Next Generation.

The first episode of Transformers War For Cybertron. It's got my interest...
Just skip the mirror universe episodes
Watched the final season of The Protector, it was OK but not as good as previous seasons.
Agreed. I quite liked this take, especially the interpretation of Merlin.Cursed was good, sort-of Arthurian but Fae-based.
Season 1 or 2? I'm watching Season 2 currently.Currently watching Umbrella Academy.
The Daleks all yelled Doctorrr whoo? After their memory was purged of him.I watched the second half of season 10 of New Doctor Who over the last several days. I enjoyed it, though ultimately the 'invasion of the monks' plotline was not all that gripping, to me at least. I would have liked a bit more discussion of why the monks wanted to take over the earth, since they did not seem to be getting much out of their rule, as far as I could see. I enjoyed "Empress of Mars" a good deal, largely for the Victorian army on Mars element. The last two episodes, "Word Enough and Time" and "The Doctor Falls" were pretty good too, I thought, though they had some odd plot holes. The most glaring was the idea that the Doctor could not simply evacuate the people from level 500-ish up to the Tardis on the ship's top level to escape. The Doctor claims that, because of the time dilation on the ship, this will give the Cybermen (at the ship's bottom) years or decades to prepare for his arrival at the highest level of the ship. It would, but to get to the top level of the ship they would have to go through exactly the same time dilation. So even if they spent years preparing down below they would still arrive after he and the refugees did--they should have time to get in the Tardis and disappear.
I also found Missy's attempt to be the Doctor at the beginning of "World Enough and Time" hilarious, particularly her introduction of Bill and Nardole as "my disposables: exposition and comic relief." Was this the first time in the show's history that someone suggested that the Doctor's name really is 'Doctor Who'?
Now I find myself wishing that, instead of the way this season ended, the Doctor had been lost--he guides the ship into the black hole to stop the Cybermen, or something similar--and we got a season of Missy, Bill, and Nardole looking for him, with the two of them constantly having to guide her into doing the right thing rather than the obvious or effective one. I've become quite fond of Michelle Gomez in that role; I was never that keen on John Simm as the Master.
Fuck that noise. Intendant Kira is not something to be missed or looked away from. What is wrong with you?Just skip the mirror universe episodes

I couldn't get past the first season. I might revisit, but the protagonist doesn't seem to show growth, and it's annoying.
Season 1 or 2? I'm watching Season 2 currently.
I'd also recommend the Order and Ragnarok just based on these three that you've watched.
Wife and I finished Umbrella Academy Season 2 over the weekend, and while I enjoy watching
It does seem to just go from one 'rule of cool' moment to another without much thought to wider questions or implications. I was genuinely OK with a lot of it, early on when it was spoofy and not taking itself too seriously... but as it took on more gravitas those things became more glaring... and weren't smoothed over by pop-song montages.Wife and I finished Umbrella Academy Season 2 over the weekend, and while I enjoy watching, ultimately I have no idea what the show is even trying to do with it's main plotlines, they seem to just meander along.

Watched Vibes on TCM Underground, a middling 80s high-concept psychic-supernatural comedy that coasts for a while on the charisma of Peter Falk, Jeff Goldblum and Cyndi Lauper before being dragged down by a determinedly mediocre script.
Lauper is far more of a natural comedian and actor than Madonna, it's a shame she didn't get to make more films. She does provide a fine song for the end credits and is cute and sexy as hell too.

Season 2. Just as confusing as season 1, but enjoyable enough.
