Sith Happens Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Just now, RoyMac5 said: I'm a bit lost with the timelines, will Spock be in Uni3 then? When is it set? No I don't think so. It's set in the 32nd century but its definitely got Vulcans (Or Romulans as they are the same race) in it. Michael Burnham who is the lead character in Discovery is Spocks sister so I think there might be some connection that way. Don't know if you have seen season 1 and 2 so don't want to say too much.

Redemption with Denise Crosby as Sela is also really good. 'He is human and humans have a habit of showing up when you least expect them...'

Watched Series 1 on E4HD (?) and watched Series 2 on Greek Netflix while on holiday on Kefalonia this October, lol. Was happy to see less of the awful PC value signalling at the end of Series 2 and it was much more like a normal series. I prefer my Star Trek a 'western in space' kinda thing ?

Certainly had a thing for Denise Crosby when younger. Wasn't happy when she was killed off by an oil slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah cool you know all the spock connection. It might be a let down of course, Picard was, but this series seems to be written really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Netflix question if you know the answer, when I chose which Netflix to subscribe to I want the UHD one that allows you to view on 4(?) devices. Is it possible to give my log in details to someone else living in Derby and for them to watch Netflix too? Yes. I share my login with a poster here.

Come on that's always been part of Trek, going right back to the 60s series there was a social commentary on racial segregation, communism, and an overriding anti war perspective. All at a time of MLK, the McCarthy witch hunts and the Vietnam war. Call it value signalling if you like. But like it or not, It's a core part of the show. Series 1 was classic Star Trek in that respect. DarkFruitsRam7 and ariotofmyown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they didn't actually script it in. It wasn't written down as lines! Viewers aren't that dumb that they need it explaining to them - it was like a Govt. information prog. 'ooh look how difficult is to be different, etc we should be kind to these people because we're all different'. Whereas Star Trek previous incarnations just got on with it. The story lines told you of the 'social commentary' it didn't need verbalising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Spalletti will be on his Christmas card list. How good was it seeing fans chanting in a football stadium again? There are some real gems on the documentary channel.

Tamworthram Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 It may already have been recommended but I've just finished the third series of Subarra on Netflix. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it myself especially for anyone who rated Gomorrah. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Just started watching "Wire in the Blood" on Prime. I think this was originally broadcast on ITV back in the noughties. So far, so very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will watch based entirely on that... when I have finished 'Undercover'. Subtitled, undercover cop on trail of drug baron, very watchable.

So basically they can paint whoever the hell they like as long as it has a nice background. Still love it and Kate Bryan is lovely. So now I'm totally confused. In last night's episode the judges said one of the guys was the best realist they had ever seen, i. e. he had captured the image in front of him perfectly. He didn't make the final three!

Watched the first episode. @Tamworthramyou are correct to cite Gomorrah. Definitely same ballpark. Hasn't initially gripped me in the same way, actors aren't so mesmerising, the characters so fascinating or the soundtrack so perfect...but its similar...! Awful lot of threads to the storyline so far, so I hope the pay-off is a less intense ride with a more satisfying conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
