Just watched the Star Trek / Deep space Nine tribbles crossover.
29 years between the original episode and the DS9 crossover, and 25 years since the DS9 ep to now.

I watched that episode a couple of nights ago!! Brilliant.
 
We still haven't got all the way through the Spider-Man: Far from Home film - due to OH's work schedule atm and the fact it is over 2 hours long. Very silly so far but I do love superhero films and it has some great action sequences which let's face it is really why I watch them. Love MJ, she should be the star of the thing.

We watched it yesterday. The daughter loved it. It's a great mix of teen drama, comedy, action and intrigue. I didn't really like the overblown CGI action stuff, but it was a lot more integrated into, and an important part of the plot than the usual fare.
What I liked about it was that even before any superhero stuff came into play, there was already a decent human drama, in fact the non directly superhero stuff was all a lot more fun.
I kind of wish we had all seen this at the cinema as a family.

Good to hear! Should hopefully be able to finish it in the morning when OH gets home from work - when he has back to back shifts he doesn't get a lot of time for R&R at home but we're halfway through the film so should be able to see the rest in the morning.

I don't think we noticed it was so long. Watched it all in one go. I could tell from the noises my daughter made that even though it was just on netflix, it was more of an event.
 
Lucifer is back! :)

I would advise those with a less than perfect memory to maybe watch the last ten minutes of the previous episode first, because the new one jumps right into it and pretty much continues from the last scene in the previous episode, with no recap offered.

Is is it actually watchable then?
Ive always dismissed it as looking like a dramatic Satan version of the real housewives of blah blah blah :D
 
Same here. I had another look at it based on T&P's post and dismissed it again.
It’s a six-season series! You cannot have explored it in that much depth.

I personally think it’s great entertainment. Interesting premise, as well as asking very valid questions of Christianity, morality and religion in general. It hasn’t ran into six seasons and been wrestled out between major TV networks by being shit.

Perfectly okay not to like it, but to anyone debating whether to check it out, I would certainly say worth giving it the benefit of the doubt for a bit. Any show enjoying good reviews across the board like this can’t be that bad

ETA: Tom Ellis is simply magnificent in it :D

Watching this today and loving it.
Amazing scenery.
Makes me want to live there 🙂
Bit of a derail from this thread but I thoroughly recommend you search for cab view videos of the Bergen/ Flam Norway railway on YouTube . If you think what see on this show is stunning, check those out..

ETA: back to the show, few castings have ever got it as right as the kid they’ve chosen to play Loki in this series :D

Loving S2 of Ragnarok, I wish I'd gone back and watched the last episode of season 1 first though as I have trouble remembering plots (or should that be I lose the plot? :D ) and could not for the life of me remember what had gone on!

It is very good quality overall, with some great performances.

I have stopped for tonight because I am tired and my concentration is starting to slip, so I will watch some more tomorrow or Monday :)

EDIT: Forgot to give my customary English dubbing review for those who cannot manage subtitles alone - good quality as with the rest of the production.

Finished Ragnarok. Just fantastically bloody good. And with very limited action sequences or special effects, and virtually fuck all green screen. Marvel, take heed.

Can’t wait for S3. Hopefully as the pandemic winds down we won’t have to wait too long.
 
Watching High on the Hog and it's good - it's centred around food/cuisine but is heavily about African-American history through the focus of food and cooking. Very informative, at times upsetting/emotional, great cooking.

S2 definitely has more special effects than S1, as in it has some :D
