Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine So what are you WATCHING? Part 2

Yes. NBC's young head of production, Brandon Tartikoff, gave that succinct instruction to the creators and producers.

Lately, it's all Green Party videos and reruns of The Carol Burnett Show. Apparently my brain is trying to give itself whiplash. o_0



Oh, and mr_xeno wanted to check out Queen's Gambit on Netflix. Which was okay, I guess. It's not something I'd deliberately seek out on my own, but I suppose I'll watch it again if he feels like it.

I really liked Queen's Gambit, Cleome.

Miami Vice is holding my interest. I 'm halfway through season 4. I just watched an episode called The Cows of October. It's probably the funniest MV episode of all.

I've also been watching Voyagers! It's on the NBC app, along with Miami Vice, The Six Million Dollar Man, Buck Rogers, and a lot of other cool shows. The app is free, but has commercials. Voyagers! isn't as good as I remember, but it's still fun to watch.

Lance! Buddy!

Yeah, we may watch more of Q.G. later on. Sometimes these things do take time to really get cooking.

Hugs back atcha!

I thought QG was good. Not great, but good.

By the way, the NBC app has a lot of great shows, but it is the worst app I have ever seen. Sometimes it will start playing hours after I have stopped watching something. (This happened once in the middle of the night. It started, loudly, all by itself. Now I completely close the app from my tablet when I'm done watching it.) It glitches sometimes. Sometimes I start it and the sound doesn't work. Great content, but it tries my patience.

Alternating between country and Power Station videos tonight. Don't know why.

AIRWOLF, baby! On Peacock, for FREE (I don't care about the commercials, I just keep my finger close to the mute button on my computer.)

The best of the 80s super-vehicle shows (i.e. Knight Rider, Street Hawk) by miles and miles!

Conventional wisdom among fans has it that each of the first three seasons was weaker than the one before it. I disagree -- I think each season was better than the one before! That's why I started with Season 3 instead of Season 1.

The S3 premiere episode, Horn of Plenty, has Richard Lynch as the baddie. Connoisseurs of schlock will immediately recognize the name of this delightfully creepy icon of 80s genre entertainment. Even better, it's directed by Sutton Roley, one of the most stylish prime time TV directors of the 60s, 70s, and 80s (he did one of my favorite Mission Impossible episodes, The Test Case.) How Roley doesn't have his own Wikipedia entry is beyond me -- and he's also the director of the fourth S3 episode, Fortune Teller, which was the episode that got me hooked on the show in the first place! Can't wait to get to that one!

Ann, there is a ton of classic TV on Peacock and NBC. I could waste way too much time on those...

I just discovered Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. I love this show!

I'm only on episode 2, so no spoilers!

My son and daughter have been recommending that show to me. Sounds worth a look.

Currently inactive Legion Worlder Mattroplis, also located in the Cincinnati area, is a huge fan of that show!

Oh yeah, I've also been periodically watching Voyagers!, if anybody remembers that show...

I've also watched the first couple of episodes of Eureka. It's ok so far...

I liked Eureka, it was quirky/funny. Other Syfy shows like Warehouse 13 attempted to go that way but, IMO, got a little too goofy for my taste, while Eureka was generally just absurd enough for me (although occasionally an episode went over the line...). There were also some cast that were easy on the eyes.

But probably my favorite Syfy show of the last decade was Killjoys, which I just rewatched recently. Fun! (And not nearly as goofy as most of their fare.)

As for recently watched, I just caught up on the first six episodes of The Expanse season 5 yesterday, and wow, that show continues to be awesome.

Yeah, I'm digging the Expanse quite a bit. I was so-so on the first couple of books when I read them, but the tv show is making want to go back and check them out again.

The actors make quite a difference, I find. I didn't really get into the first couple books, but the acting has really sold me on Drummer, Amos (my two favorites), Naomi, Avasarala and Holden.

Drummer and Amos are probably my faves as well!

I actually avoided the show when it was on Scy Fy because I'd been so disappointed in the books, then I binged the first four seasons last year and really enjoyed them.

Peacock's got Stephen J. Cannell's STINGRAY! Aw yeah!

I also enjoyed Eureka. Good fun and good light-hearted scifi.

One of my local stations has Supergirl seasons 1 and 2 on their website so I am watching through those. Not particularly deep but I am enjoying them. Just got up to the Hank Henshaw reveal which was fun but had been spoiled for me some time ago. I wonder how I would have felt if I hadn't known.

I tried watching The 100, but I just couldn't stomach it much more than one season.

I enjoyed The 100 quite a bit, but it's definitely very CW, especially at beginning, so your tolerance for that king of teen drama has to be high.

Something about that Belter 'Space Jamaican' accent totally revs my engine. It's hot. It's cool. It's tepid. It's all-temperature sexy!

And Amos just has the best line in the entire show;

Kudos to Set for the Buffy quote!

Heh, Buffy had a ton of great lines, particularly in seasons 2 and 3, IMO.

Yeah. The Ghandi line was possibly the funniest in the whole series.
