Well unless there is something good on the SyFy channel,  I consider that channel dead.

Killjoys new season just started.  I like that one.

I thought you were watching Krypton? I'm still recording it but haven't watched any of it yet.

Oh, come on. They have more sharks than the Discovery network. :silly:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

At least they're getting a chance to wrap up instead of just pulling the plug like most SyFy shows...

Well I took one for the team, and finsihed up Another Life on Netflix. If you want to watch fine, be warned it has every cliche (plus a tranny character) on that show.

@kevindavis

Isn't that required by law now?

I think the law just makes it a felony for a tranny role to be played by a non-tranny actor.

Sometimes there might be somebody named "Orville" or "Oscar" inside a Bathhouse Barry,though.

True to form, SyFy has now canceled Krypton.

The Magicians is still going though - the books were OK so maybe I should give that a try.

FYI, if you have the NBC App, they are now showing Buck Rogers.

I'll have to check that out - I think I have old analog recordings, hopefully these will be better. 40 years is pretty old though so maybe not much unless they've been redone for digital...

Well its looks like they have cleaned it up, however, you can really see the cheezy late 70s special effects.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Well I'm almost done watching Buck Rogers.


1st season was OK.  I really liked the Dracoinan Empire episodes and didn't care for the Gary Coleman apperance.  Neat to see Buster Crabbe.
2nd season I'm almost done and I can see why NBC stopped it. It was like a cross between Star Trek / Battlestar Galactica with a classic comic name.  Eric Gray did have some nice looking legs though.

Anybody jumping into Carnival Row or Dark Crystal? I don't get 0bamaflix but will probably put CR on my watchlist for later this year.

Well, I saw Ad Astra (the Brad Pitt movie) and I loved it (now that is shocker right????)


It was cerebal, the visual effects was neat, and the story was neat.


The movie did have a nice little homage to 2001 and there are 3 actors from the movie Space Cowboys who appeared in the movie.
