I didn't watch that at the time (I wasn't that into Star Wars) but knowing me, I was probably kind of PO'd that Wonder Woman and The Incredible Hulk were both preempted.

Enjoyed The Orville.. I think that The Orville is much better than Star Trek: TNG. 


Here are my 3 favorite SciFi Shows:


1. The Expanse
2. Star Trek: Discovery
3. The Orville

I really loved the latest series of Red Dwarf. As for The Orville, it's been renewed for next season but only 18 episodes not 22. I wonder if Seth Mcfarllane has spread himself out too thin with Family Guy and American Dad

Anybody else a fan of the Gor books by John Norman?

I first got hooked on these in the early 70's. DAYUM,but Norman was a good writer with a vivid imagination!

I wonder that too. Family Guy is not funny anymore and American Dad was really never funny.

It looks like most of the movies on the list are horror, more than anything else. The only one that I really want to see is Your Name, I don't think I have any interest in the others.

@Freya

When you say "rebooting",are you talking about re-running the classic series,or a new series with new writers?

What network will be broadcasting it?

Ugh, sounds like they are introducing leftist politics into it.

Thanks for updating .

The Twilight Zone was Rod Sterling. I can't see it under anyone else. Even the movie was stinky.

And the writing on it was phenomenal.

The 80s version was hit or miss.

As for the Zone.


1. It was good for back then and way ahead of it's time. I didn't care for the 1hr long episodes (well some of them).
2. Movie was OK, but just a remake of the classic episodes.
3. The 80's version was OK, but it was hit or miss.

Rod Serling had the greatest speaking voice in history.  HIs dialogue was iconic on its own.

Hey. I'm trying to watch that Lexx series. But it is so weird and goofy, I really don't know what to make of it.


What do you think about Lexx? I'm curious.

[Free Vulcan]

Decent movie called CHAPPIE on Netflix.

I never watched it, but I remember seeing ads for it when it ran on SciFi (now SyFy) and thinking that it looked more silly than serious. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
