Lemmy World Rules

Hello /c/sciencefiction lemmies. I've put together an image of some of the most discussed shows from July 2023.

Are there any science fiction TV series you are currently in the middle of watching or plan on watching in August?

Here is last months post. What are you Watching? (July 2023)

Strange New Worlds is marvellously strong this season. I’ll also watch anything Star Trek in first run but it’s appointment television this season.

I watched Silo and liked it. Read Wool, the first book, after the season finale and found the characters thin, 2D.

I picked up the remastered DVD set of the 1970s show the Star Lost because Silo reminded me of its premise somewhat. I’m working through them.

Currently rewatching agents of shield, season 5 right now. As always, was floored by the Aida character, mallory jansen was phenomenal in that role, absolutely killed it.

Can't wait to see how they wrap this up!

I'm watching Blake 7. It's giving be a Tom Baker Dr. Who vibe.

Just finished Titans. Almost finished with Babylon 5 rewatch #14. Gets better every rewatch.

Looking forward to the last episodes of Silo.

Two episodes from finishing Silo. It's a solid 7/10 for me, so far.

I want to watch foundation and silo, but want to try reading them first. Unfortunately, I don't think I have any good sci-fi to watch at the moment other than those two.

Frankly, you'll enjoy Foundaton more if you don't read the books first. Otherwise, you'll be sitting there shaking you head wondering why they continuously mangle the core concept of the books so badly, despite characters occasionally directly stating how it works (only for the same episode otherwise showing utter disregard for said statement)

You can always watch season 1 of silo, then read the books. It’s going to be awhile until we get season 2, and season 1 only covers book 1.

Star Trek: Enterprise.

Archer is kind of a shit captain tbh, he literally can't cope with leadership outside of "that's an order", but it's nice to see how the federation came to be.

Currently watching Dollhouse which I'm not sure if qualifies as scifi. Planning on watching Altered Carbon after this though.

I have always loved Stergate. I grew up watching this and I rewatch the whole thing every few years and I have been itching to rewatch it soon. Also just recently finished The Expanse. It was hands down the best scifi show in recent history, my favourite will always be Firefly though.

Me and the missus have binged "Citadel" this past week and its shaping up to be a solid sunday-show! The spinoff coming in 2024 seems fun too!
