PopTV picked up One Day at a Time!
If you don't know PopTV...who does? I think most people only know it for Schitt's Creek, which is another awesome, sweet series.

What is even happening?
The first three (original) seasons of Veronica Mars have now dropped to Hulu.
The new season drops July 26th. Will this be the place to discuss it?

Didn't we have a Veronica Mars thread?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
We did (do). It is currently in the closed threads folder. It was voted closed, so I don't know whether or not we need to vote to reopen.

Yes we did, -t. It's here: Kalshane "Veronica Mars: Annoy, Tiny Blonde One. Annoy Like the Wind." May 25, 2007 7:12:28 pm PDT
A while back, I asked in Bureau if the thread should be reopened, but I don't think my question got noticed. I probably asked too early.
I don't want to be a pain in the ass, so I thought maybe this was the better place to ask. While reopening the thread would be my preference, I don't really care either way. I just want to talk about it wherever we talk about it.
Sorry for the X-post DX.

I just started watching Star Trek Discovery. (I wasn't going to shell out for another streaming service, but they dragged me in via the upcoming Picard series.) so far, I'm enjoying Discovery. The mycelium network concept is pretty cool.

I look forward to your thoughts. It's definitely a ride.

Hearing "fuck" on a Star Trek franchise show was unexpected, that's for sure. I have a sense that someone really wants to grimdark Star Trek, and add moral complexity, etc. But honestly, the original series and Next Gen both had a fair bit of questioning the Federation's relationships with the new people it ran into, so mostly Discovery seems to be giving the people writing captions for lengthy Klingon speeches a steady gig.
I like the lead, Michael, and several other characters, and connecting with characters is a big part of why I watch a series. So I'll probably keep with it. The production values are nice. And one of my coworkers is a serious Trekkie but hates tardigrades (some sort of squick for him). So after he comes back from vacation, I'm looking forward to discussing the series with him.
