Kingdom on Netflix.

Early days, only a couple of episodes in, but the premise is basically Zombies in Feudal Korea. It is a South Korean production and no expense has been spared. The acting, costume, effects are all top notch (although for the love of god, subtitled, not dubbed) and it looks like they are doing an interesting take on the zoms themselves as well as having a good and intriguing plot for the main protagonists.
Yep, believe I sang its praises in this very thread a while back. It's a good show, and the second series maintains the quality.
I loved it too, glad it's been picked up for a third run.

Star Trek TNG update. Star date 12345.6

Have finished season 4 and now starting season 5. It is very good.


I love the Worf/Klingon intrigue episodes. I wonder if they perhaps should have made more of that aspect, instead of just having a handful of them. Worf's life amongst humans was always one of the most fascinating aspects of the show.

I got up to the Minuet episode and skipped forward to Best Of Both Worlds and I think I’ll go from there.

Picard and Riker fawning over that lass was just too cringey to go on :lol:

Actually, I've been surprised at how much cringe still exists in S4, it doesn't completely go away. Like in 'The Host' where Beverley Crusher apparently has sex with Riker's body without his consent.

Worf's position as Chief of Security was fascinating given that he had his arse handed to him in every scrap he ever got into. ;)

The Worf / Klingons stuff is handled in more depth during DS9 after season 3 when Worf joins the show. It's well worth watching if you haven't seen it already.

Finally finished season 2 today. It is genuinely one of the funniest things I've watched in a long time. The awkward situations are a wonder to behold :lol:

It's really good. Given where season 2 finished up, it's slightly disappointing that S3 is a prequel - mainly as I really want to know what's going to happen next - but I'm sure it will still be as good.

Yep, I've got DS9 lined up next. All 7 seasons. Then Voyager.

I've figured it'll take me another year to finish all 3 of them.

Watched the first episode without realising it was a prequel. It's still very funny, the shitting log makes a triumphant return :lol:

Watched the first one tonight, Orm's tunnel network was genius :lol:

Also, I swear me and my wife literally had the discussion about 'how did people work out which mushrooms were edible and which are deadly" only about a week ago, so that bit was fun.

Late to every party as always, just finished the latest season of Better Call Saul. Damn that was good, that show just goes from strength to strength. As with S4 it has prompted another Breaking Bad re-watch.

I’m later. For some reason I stopped watching after S2 and I have no idea why. I just finished watching all of 1&2 again and it’s so good! I had forgotten just enough to where some of it was still surprising.

I am envious then, as I said above each season comes along and blows away the one before. Enjoy!
