Star Trek: Discovery

Two mentions of zombies. What?

also watched Enterprise and liked it (sometimes seems like I’m the only person on Earth who did that).

No you’re not, my wife likes Enterprise as well. Though it is a shame they basically cancelled it when the story finally got really interesting…

One thing I always wondered about was why never anyone in the film industry considered turning Perry Rhodan into a series….
I mean, plenty of stuff, plenty stories, never ending material…

I have liked the series so far.

Both Discovery and Expanse are good…

I find Silvia Tilly a bit tedious as a character though… I never thought I’d say this but I prefer Neelix :-)

I really enjoyed Enterprise. It’s a pity it was cut short – it was really only just warming up (TNG also took 3 series to really warm up)

As an engineer and lapsed PPL it is rare for me to post but this caught my interest!
Nice to hear others enjoyed Enterprise but hated the final episode and it was cut far too short.
Watched Discovery Episode 1 whilst we were in Wichita for maintenance on US TV and hated it, mainly because you got 7 minutes of program followed by 4 minutes of Adverts. Since then have watched the next two without the adverts and after Episode 3 have started to warm to it. I’m keeping an open mind
As others have mentioned The Expanse is worth watching.
I tend not to watch or get interested in US series until they have been out for a few series, far too often they are cancelled before getting into their stride (Enterprise, Firefly, Dresden Files, Dark Matter etc)
The above probably indicates more about me than I would normally wish to admit

It’s just a huge shame that Firefly was cancelled. The one series it ran for was good, it was a nice change from the hoity-toityness off Star Trek, and it had some good humour in it, too. It’s the closest TV ever got to the idea of Elite (computer game).
