Finally gave in and watched The Covenant. Not the biggest fan of Guy Ritchies style, so the thought of him being involved in a war type film didn't really appeal. I was wrong. He made a good job of it and I felt really tense at points.
Well know cast and a Lionsgate production. I stuck with it for some time, thinking it'll start making sense soon, but no, its dire and i eventually bailed on it.
1/10 and that's only cos I saw Katherine Heigl in her bra!

Unforgotten.
A police thing about solving aged murders, we watched all five seasons and there wasn't a bad one in them.
Not usually my thing but it was good.
They were on TV and not new, but we don't watch much TV so we only discovered them a few weeks ago and we watched one every evening in bed until we'd seen them all.
We watched that on fletnix...as you said...very good.
I saw Star Trek: Strange New Worlds series 1 and 2 were both on Amazon for £6.99, so I bought 'em both.
It's Star Trek like Star Trek used to be! Stories are wrapped up in one episode (pretty much), it's not dark and gritty and depressing, people solve problems by thinking them through, the Captain is an optimist! Plus it's got the best quiff on modern TV.
House of the Dragon. The first season was very good, but the second has felt increasingly with each episode that it was going the same way as Game of Thrones…
The last episode aired a couple of days ago, still not brought myself to watch it..

Just got to the musical episode. Star Trek's first ever one in the nearly 60 years it's been going.
Surprisingly OK actually
Thought it'd be stupid...but if they have can western planet episodes, Nazi planet episodes, Robin Hood episodes etc etc they can do a musical.

Bit of a change for Anson Mount from 'Hell on Wheels*' to 'Larking about in Space'.
* Which coincidentally had Colm Meaney from TNG and DS9 in. Space cowboys?

Speaking of cast cross overs....there's an episode in series two where two animated characters from Lower Decks appear in the live action Strange New Worlds. The voice actors from the former play the same characters in real life.
I never clocked that the guy who voices the lead in LD (purple haired Boimler) is Hughie from The Boys.

As you're a Trek fan you can answer the most puzzling question.
Where are the bogs on Federation ships/why does no-one ever use them?
(Don't think they had any on DS9 either).
