Okay I will watch ST TNG remastered in 4K.

Although PQ and SQ are only part of the experience, I’ve become very spoiled when it comes to PQ. Thus, I can’t watch anything with “lower” PQ, which means all the old stuffs.

I tried watching all the ST series when they were initially released, but I really hated all of them.

So I guess ST Discovery and Picard are the only 2 ST series I like.

Man, you are missing out. TNG is one of the greatest ever. Granted, I watched it with my parents when it was first on, but they are both huge Star Trek fans. I think they've watched all of the series at this point.

Wow!
I did not realize they made enough off of re-runs to justify this kind of investment, but it sounds like they are doing it right!

I'll watch it for sure when they have remastered TNG series in 4K.

So I read that Seven of Nine is in it. I think I can wait and binge one or two seasons though.

I had to rewind a few scenes when watching Bosch because Jeri Ryan in a dress makes me find my religion.

Might as well turn in my nerd card, because I haven't watched TNG either. Shame on me! My streaming backlog is as bad as my Steam backlog. All hope is lost!

Just read an article that CBS All Access won't work in Linux regardless of which browser you use. I don't use Linux but that seems rather short sighted, especially if folks already paid.

Heavy-handed DRM always leads people to the same place:

Yep she played a great character in Bosch. I wonder when the next season of Bosch is scheduled to be released?

And to think her character never met Picard in any of the episodes..

Bosch is a great series. I just started watching it recently.

I have watched the 1st two episodes of Picard. Besides PQ and SQ being incredible, the story is very engaging, I am totally hooked.

Youtube offered a free watch of the first episode courtesy of CBS but I didn't get all the way thru it. I don't plan on signing up for CBS in any case, tho. I did watch the original ST series on tv and the Shatner-Kirk movies (and the Chris Pine-Kirk ones), but no experience with the other ST spinoffs. Maybe I'll try the free episode again....

If only someone you knew had the episodes and you could just watch them without the hassle....

I thought Picard Episode 2 was a little boring. Episode 1 was much better.

The Drinker is unimpressed, but there's hope yet!

It's funny. Even tho he mostly slams it, I'm gonna check it now out based on those reviews. I know how hyper critical this guy can be and am familiar with his tongue in cheek delivery. I think if you read between the lines he's saying it's not too bad so far, but falls pretty short of "awesome".

Well, if the whole season of Picard is more like Episode 1, then it's great. If it's more like Episode 2, then it's just average.

I quite like the series so far. I wasn't a big fan of ST Next Generation with the exception of the episodes with Q. Those were the most entertaining to watch. When I grow up, I wanna be just like Q.

I've only seen episode 1. I enjoyed it.

Then again: I enjoyed the first half of STD season 1 too....

But if you watch the entire series it would seem that Q never grew up.

You make that sound like a bad thing

What's the old saying? You can only be young once but you can be immature all of your life.
