Hello all,

We didn't seem to have a thread about what people are currently watching thread so I decided to make one.
If there is such a thread already I will merge this later with that one.

I am currently re-watching an old cartoon called Exo Squad, one of those cartoons that initially seemed to have be made to push toys. But I have to say that it holds up very well regarding storylines and characters. The plot is about a future war between mankind and an artificial species called the Neo Sapiens which was originally created as a labor force to assist with colonizing the inner planets, it handles themes like slavery, genetic engineering, racism.
Some refer to it as the American anime.

Next to that I am also watching Star Trek Deep Space Nine, having decided to finally give the entire series a chance after I only watched bits and pieces of it during the series' original run years ago.
It is much better than I originally recall, maybe because my taste is a bit more developed, or I am just hungry for any Trek that isn't NuTrek (made by Kurtzman and Secret Hideout)

Once I am finished with Exo Squad I am going to give "For all mankind" another try.
 
Haha.

I am going to start 11/22/63 in a couple days. I've heard good things about it and I loved the book.

I've been wanting to watch Heathcliff too. I like old cartoons.
 
I just finished Exo Squad, that was a fun cartoon series. Too bad it ended on a cliffhanger, I would love to see the series continue with the new threat that was introduced in the final episode as well as the spin off series the producers wanted to make.

Currently I am finishing the old D&D cartoon which I also started several weeks ago. Then its back to DSN.
 
Me and my gal tried watching the Finnish series "Konflikti", but it was an absolute slog for three episodes that just served nothingburgers. So we gave up. Not sure what to watch now though...
 
I am currently watching the words on pages in a book called Jurassic Park.
iz gud
Very different from the movie even just 46 pages in.
 
At the moment I'm re-watching (for maybe the third or fourth time?) the classic Star Trek run of TOS through to Voyager, including the movies. Just finished The Wrath of Khan today, and it's still an amazing movie.

I think Wrath of Khan is a good movie but also that it is sort of 'overrated'. Overrated as in that several Trek movies tried to emulate it which I found very disappointing as it feels that writers couldn't come up with ideas for an original story or think the only good Trek movie is one that tries to mimic WoK.

What do you think about the series Star Trek Enterprise as you did not mention that one.
My personal favorite season is season 4 as that one felt like a prequel to the Original Series, even if it was a bit fan wank-ish sometimes.
