We’re trying to rewatch Invasion now that it’s concluded (or cancelled). First season is heavy going, lots of parallel plots that only slowly intertwine if at all, and not necessarily so much happening in every episode.

Next will be a For all mankind rewatch to be fully prepped for the upcoming season 5. Let’s see if we can time it so we can binge the new episodes without a week’s wait in between…

    Going through a Star Trek Voyager rewatch from the beginning. I’ve done this with TNG and DS9 a couple of times and constantly rewatch those episodes. I’ve only gone through Voyager once and I don’t rewatch it much, so it’s kind of newish to me again.

    Other than that, reading my Star Trek novels from the thrift store and borrowing Blu-rays from the library to rip into my collection. I really want to do a watch of X-Files again!

      I’m not going to lie, to me X-files aged even worse than most Star trek shows. Or more to the point, the real world fully embraced the show’s conspiracy theory, suspiciousness of government, and tinfoil hattery.

      I can’t look at Fox Mulder anymore and not see some Alex Jones nutter with an IRL following that sucks up his ravings… 🙃

        I get where you are coming from, but I have too many good childhood memories of watching both shows with my family. I refuse to let some chodes ruin it for me. X-Files was the weekly thing to sit down and all watch together.

        Don’t let the dumb dumbs ruin things things you enjoy 💚

          No, sure. I have very fond memories of X-files too, from the original airing.

          But my latest attempt at a rewatch took most of a bottle of rum to sit through a handful of episodes. My liver just isn’t up for X-files anymore.

            I still watch a lot of X-Files. However, these days I skip all the arcs and prefer the episodic monster of the day episodes.
