Star Trek go deo!

[Scáthach]

Watched a BBC documentary yesterday called Pipers of the Trenches. It was about the bagpipers that accompanied the Scots regiments (Tyneside Scots, Lancashire Scots etc) of the British army into battle in WW1. Jesus it was insane. I was aware that pipers were common on the battlefield over the centuries, but these guys were something else. Being like a mascot or rallying point for the soldiers, they would be unarmed, and first to go over the top of the trench. Absolutely nuts. Bagpipes versus German machine guns... Well, you can see how that would end. Over 1200 of them went to the trenches, less than 600 returned home.

Have that recorded, hoping to get to it during the week. Honestly would have thought their survival rates would have been much lower

[StoutAndAle]

Watched "The Morning Show" - it wasn't bad but I'm not sure if there's a second season in the tank - or if I would watch it. 

[Nail_Bombed]

Started Locke And Key - not bad.... certainly toned down somewhat from the original graphic novel, but the overall theme seems to be holding up well. I guess they had to change the name of the town from Lovecraft to Matheson because of too much familiarity with HP Lovecraft these days? Liking it anyway, one and a half eps in.

Watching Primal at moment. Ginny Tartakovsky's (Samurai Jack) new prehistoric animated series. No dialogue just the basic story, and soundtrack. It's excellent.

Finished The Maldorian earlier. Excellent series. Last episode was fantastic.
Now we've started Star trek ds9. Never followed it when it was on. Grand so far.

Odo and Quark are one of the best comic duo's. It's often subtle the look and snide comments they give each other, but it can be so humorous.

[StoutAndAle]

Watched "Don't Fuck With Cats" over the weekend. Not bad, it's a fairly bizarre story. I'd recommend watching it without knowing the details if you can.

[Nail_Bombed]

Finished Locke and Key last night, overall not a bad series at all, just pales in comparison to the source material. Looking forward to seeing more of it, if it gets enough traction. Joe Hill himself turns up as a paramedic.

Watching Pandemic at the moment. Pretty interesting look at the work that goes into fighting flu throughout the year

[Pedrito]

Just finished up the second series of The Man in the High Castle, thanks to the filthbag Shepherd Carnage. Brilliant stuff altogether, after 2 seasons I'm still not quite sure whaf the hell is going on but it is addictive stuff altogether. It imagines a world in which the Japanese and Nazis have won the war and split the US between them. Well worth a watch.

[Caomhaoin]

Where are you watching that Pete? Amazon?

[Born of Fire]

Yeah it's on Prime Video. Only watched the first episode so far myself, I really like the premise it's just trying to get the time to get properly stuck in to it.

[Pedrito]

Yep Amazon..it feels really B movie-ish at times, the acting can be quite wooden, but a really good watch. The story is very cool.

[Ollkiller]

The Man in the High Castle is normally something I would really like. But I can't because for some reason if the premise is historically something different that happened my brain goes no, that didn't happen. Watched 1 Episode and couldn't watch anymore. Same with that For All Mankind show. Nah lads Russia didn't land on the moon first. I realise it's my fault and not the shows.
