Stranger Things on Netflix.

This show is awesome. It's a mix between X-Files and Twin Peaks.

Sounds right up my alley! Thanks for the tip.

It really is fantastic, at least so far. I think the wife and I finished episode 3 yesterday, and we wanted to keep going. It's going to be sad when we finish the 8 episodes and have to wait a whole year, haha.

The music is pretty darn good, which is a side benefit.

Is it a Netflix original series? I really enjoyed Bloodline and Jessica Jones.

Yes, it is! Which makes it even better, haha. I have enjoyed most of their original series.

Might have to look into that one myself. Finally got done watching all of the episodes of Star Trek:Enterprise on Netflix. I had caught a few episodes here and there when it was originally on but never really did see it from beginning to end.

Now I'm wanting to know who I can write a letter to to get that time back.. because wow, what a waste that was.. lol

Definitely look into it! You can watch the trailer if you want, but I think it gives a tad too much away.

No worries, I never watch the trailers because they always show the stuff designed to make you watch the show, and as a result even the worst crap on the planet can be made to look pretty appealing in the trailer.

I remember a movie called Kangaroo Jack that came out when my kids were a lot younger, they wanted to see it because it had a talking Kangaroo in it. It was marketed as a kids movie, so we thought sure.. we bought a copy.

Turns out the talking Kangaroo is only on scene for like a minute and a half, and the reason it's talking is because one of the main characters is having an acid trip. The movie is about two guys who get sent to Australia by the mafia to do a contract killing. It's about as far from a kids movie as you can get. Sad thing is even as an adult movie, it royally sucked. It was supposed to be a comedy. Not even close. I've seen documentaries that were funnier.

So ya, since then, I avoid trailers like the plague. For TV shows/series I watch the first couple of episodes and if they can get my attention I watch the rest. If by the end of the first or second episode I'm still not getting into it, I move on.

Never watch Enterprise - and probably never will based on your review, lol. I enjoy the new Star Trek movies having been subjected to the original series reruns when I was a kid. My favorite space sci fi show is the revival of BSG with Edward James Olmos although it got a little hinky toward the end.

I loved the original BSG as a kid, was excited to see the remake but terribly disappointed in it. The starbuck rewrite was just dreadful, with all the hokey mysticism, and the ending was just idiotic. Oh, earth is actually full of cylons even though that makes no darn sense. It also made no sense that the human form cylons would be in charge of anything. The whole plot just seemed to be very badly thought out.

Loved Edward James, he made it at least somewhat watchable. Spent most of my time thinking how nice it would be if someone tossed starbuck and Apollo out of the nearest airlock. Couldn't stand either of them. Seriously? The whole human race is on the verge of extinction and the highest priority for either of them was their own personal b.s.. put your daddy issues aside we've got bigger crap to deal with.

Whoops.. sorry, got of on a rant there... lol

I was ok with Starbuck being a woman but I expected more from the ending.

The gender thing didn't bother me and honestly it could have been really interesting if it had been done well. I didn't think it was.

Starbuck came across as the same cookie cutter character you usually get when people with no military experience do zero research and try to write a military character.

She's the sort who any military would have gotten rid of long before basic training was even half way over because she can't follow orders and that gets people killed.

Supposedly she gets a pass on talent, but no military does that because they can't. But you see this same ridiculous character template used over and over again in tv and movies.

Apollo was far more disappointing for me, in the original series he was one of my favorites. In the remake I just wanted to slap him and scream grow up in his face.

So ya, can't say as the remake really did anything for me, which was a real shame. It had a ton of potential but it was doomed from the get go with bad writing and really bad plot lines.
