it may sound controversial... but I like DS9 ... there I've said it ... will run and hide now 

Yep! Got the box set, going 3rd on the list & then there is Babylon 5, then back to the beginning.  But I've only seen stuff that has been on freeview type TV & because I need then it on disc to kitchen watch.

Awwww    

aye I liked it, not liking this new attempt, have u watched Orville ? 

I haven't - on searching, I see its either Hulu or Disney?  Never had a sub to either, and not really likely, I'm afraid.  I'm waiting to see The Last Of Us, I loved the teenager that played Bella Ramsay in GoT, and I love all apocafic.

Anyhoo ... still not feeling wonderful, so I'm sticking with Killing Eve at the moment.  Brilliant double act at the centre, and scenes stolen by Fiona Shaw

Having seen SSS's workings out of his fuel costs, it reminded me to work mine out, for the period of 24 Nov to 3 Feb.  I'd already done 3 Feb to 13 Feb, which was £5.50.

24 Nov to 3 Feb, though, I splurged over Christmas, which I had to have at home because everyone I was supposed to be with had pneumonia and there was also 12 days with the Lovely Moggie here - I had my living room door open to the hall the whole time, and the hall is **freezing**, there's an issue with the water meter and bad insulation, blah blah.  So, over that 71 day period, with a total of two weeks of heedless expenditure 😂 it was £7.13 a day, the financial total was £506, so the website tells me.  I'd have spent over Christmas anyway, of course, but that 12 days with Lovely Moggie would have cost a lot less, so I'm okay with that.  And I've had the subsidies anyway, of course.  Life goes on.

you will love the last of us,  shame you wont get to see Orville, although seasons 1 and 2 are good ot gets a bit lame after that, maybe a good thing u will miss it, I started shouting at the tv in season 3 lol 

it's a comedy by Seth MacFarlane who is a big trekkie fan

Was never a huge fan of DS9 and haven't watched Firefly (notable to me only because it has the actor who plays Casey in Chuck - any Chuck fans?) or Atlantis or Stargate. But watching Star Trek (the original, TNG and DS9) was a regular excuse for not going and doing my homework after Neighbours when I was a teenager!

For some reason I have been thinking about the star trek original episode about racism.  You remember the one where one race had the left side & one the right side of their faces black & one was supposed to be superior to the other.  It's a pity more people didn't take it on board & realise just how ridiculous racism actually is.  Gene Roddenberry was a genius - well in my not so humble opinion anyway.

Oh, just had a look, its Adam Baldwin!  He started in the X Files, though its not in his imdb bio.  He's in the X Files listing of actors though. Maybe he dislikes that as much as Jason Momoa tries to forget Atlantis 🤣  Fans never forget 🤣

I couldn't remember his name, but you're quite right. He's a good actor!

Didn't see this at first, badmemory, sorry.  Yep, I agree, he was brilliant - astonishing that the networks didn't realise about this one, and shocking that people objected to Kirk and Uhura kissing.  I can understand Nichelle Nicholls feeling under-used and wanting to leave, but its true that Martin Luther King asked her to stay.  

I met Leonard Nimoy (at a convention in London).  Just sayin' 😁
