Hello /c/sciencefiction lemmies. I've put together an image of some of the most discussed shows from July 2023.
Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching or plan on watching in August?
Here is last months post. What are you Watching? (July 2023)
Strange New Worlds we're enjoying. On episode four.
Deep Space 9, first watchtrough, last season, 5 eps to go.
Can't wait to see how they wrap this up!
I think "I'm a Virgo" is flying under most people's radar. Just finished it a couple days ago and I highly recommend it. It doesn't initially present as scifi but there are definitely scifi elements that come in to play.
Also S2 of Good Omens was great. It felt a little... pointless compared to the stakes in S1 but the writing was great and it was a very fun watch.
Silo was sooo good! Best thing I've seen this year.
Red dwarf
Electric Dreams
It was recommended to me as "what [Black Mirror] should have been."
I binged the first five episodes a week after the newest season of Black Mirror was released and the remaining five just this week.
My go-to comfort show that I'm always re-watching is Mystery Science Theater 3000. But I've also been watching Uploaded on Prime and I'm enjoying it a lot, although the second season less so than the first.
A rewatch of "The Expanse" and occasionally Star Trek:TOS. SNW Is unwatchable.
I agree. I tried for about maybe 5 eps, but the romanticism was annoying and the Spock plot made no sense. Like do these people even know what a Vulcan is? Or are they like Abrams and just like changing whatever the hell they want? Sad because I love the premise of the show.
A long time ago, Star Trek had some decent writers writers, many of whom were classic science fiction authors. Now all they have is a bunch of younger screenwriters that do not have a lot of life experience. Yeah, TOS and TNG could be cheesy at times but most of the episodes had substance. Kurtzman's Trek is like a CW show that's written for teenagers. SNW is definitely strange and new but it's not very good.
I want to watch foundation and silo, but want to try reading them first. Unfortunately, I don't think I have any good sci-fi to watch at the moment other than those two.
You can always watch season 1 of silo, then read the books. It’s going to be awhile until we get season 2, and season 1 only covers book 1.
Currently finished the last season of STD, will finish the latest season of STP, and going to start the 2nd season of Foundation.
Star Trek: Enterprise.
Archer is kind of a shit captain tbh, he literally can't cope with leadership outside of "that's an order", but it's nice to see how the federation came to be.
I'm watching Blake 7. It's giving be a Tom Baker Dr. Who vibe.
Funny, I just mentioned Blake's 7 in another comment. Regarding Tom Baker, there was a, thankfully, abandoned plan to have him as The Doctor in a literal walk-on in a Blake episode, where Blake and The Doctor say hello to each other in passing. However, there was intended to be a much bigger Who tie-in. The Big Bad at the end of the first season was originally going to be the Daleks.
Nothing. YouTube, i guess. Hopefully Oppenheimer some time this month. Tv has been so disappointing lately. It all feels so samey, so much like Disney, which feels like everything.
