Yeah, sci-fi is my thing. With all that is going on in the world a bit of escapism is needed which is why I tend to avoid the crime/murder/political/business and generally darker and more serious series.

Terminator, yes, especially the one with the hot Terminatrix! Pacing myself to one per night so only up to episode 3, but it is good.

If so, if you haven't watched The Honorable Woman then I highly recommend you do.

Same ilk...

Looking for feedback on Criminal UK if anyone on here has watched? As some on here have same tastes as me, better than just googling reviews

Being a big fan of horror, I'm not sure how 2 seasons of this passed me by in 2016. Been a while since I watched the movie, may have to revisit it after. :twisted:

The Exorcist

Did the first 4 episodes last night and really enjoying it. Solid reviews all round online.

Downloads below if anyone interested. I downloaded the bigger file size I believe. Other one seemed far too small for 10 episodes.

We're about to start The Haunting of Hill House, which we've been told is pretty scary.

Thanks for that. I'd completely missed that too. Watched the first two episodes and I'm hooked.

Incidentally, both seasons are 10 episodes. I'm watching them on HDPrime.

Star Trek: Enterprise

I like to dip into the various Star Trek reincarnations (those made after the set stopped shaking), but it's not often they (intentionally) make me burst out laughing. So indulge me...

Season 2 episode 2 Carbon Creek

3 Vulcans are stranded on Earth in 1957 after their spacecraft blows a gasket. While waiting to be rescued they spend a few months in disguise in a small American mining town. One of them, in a most unVulcanlike manner, becomes quite taken with the people and their way of life. He decides to return to the ship to get something to improve the reception on their TV set. The leader says it would be safer to wait until after dark. "I have to go now," says our Earth-lover in a typically deadpan delivery, "I Love Lucy is on tonight."


Should I get my coat...? :oops: :laugh:

Mine used to love the wrestling on a Saturday afternoon, we all had to watch Mick McManus, Jackie Pallo, Adrian Street et al.

Don’t forget Billy Two Rivers - Mick McManus was always the villain and the one to hate - Jackie Pallo loved himself!! Happy memories :cheers:

Thanks. One I'd been meaning to get round to but got forgotten. First season downloaded... it'll have to wait till I've done season 2 of The Exorcist. :D

Same (before my time of course but seems to be forever on the telly). Saying this, I've really enjoyed some of the recent movies so I may have to give them a proper go. Or at least the more recent ones, anyway.

I never got into the later star treks. I've never been a big tv watcher but I remember as a kid enjoying the star trek's I saw. The Picard seasons, perhaps because it was later in my life, I never really watched beyond one, or two.
