I’m re-watching The Magicians with my wife, since she’s never seen it. It’s been long enough since I watched it last that I don’t remember a lot of things that happened, so there’s a lot of “I forgot got that!” moments for me, which is fun.

    Currently rewatching both Star Trek Voyager and Malcolm in the Middle.

    Voyager is better than I remember.

    Malcolm feels like it has barely aged somehow. Amazing show.

      I went back and watched the other old Star Treks after not having watched them when they aired but Voyager was the one that seemed not worth my while. Should I check it out?

        Well, all I can say is that I’m finding it like comfort food. A nice easy watch at the end of a day when I have the kids in bed.

        If you enjoyed The Next Generation then there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy it.

        I’m watching an AI upscaled version that I found as the one on Netflix is a bit potato quality. They never released a voyager bluray because the TNG one didn’t sell well so it’s not really their fault.

        How they managed to keep those fresh for seven seasons is honestly beyond my tiny little mind. Massive, massive props to the writers.

        We’re six seasons in now and the outrageously good openings just keep coming.

            Light bulb is an all time classic. So relatable and so well implemented.

            I have to admit that I’d forgotten about spider but I laughed, again.

            We’re watching them slowly and to be honest I’m finding it hard to think of ones to reciprocate with.

            I originally watched Malcolm on my PSP on my morning commute back when the PSP was a really new piece of technology and even I was encoding the episodes myself. It was perfect train fodder.

            The thing that stood out to me was (while stifling laughing) thinking during season 7 “Good GOD. How are they still pushing out such quality in the openers seven seasons in?”
