I had a great conversation with someone about Strange New Worlds this morning! I was talking about how much I loved Hemmer and that his character felt like a mashup of Bones & Scott with a dash of Chekov to me.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm trying to figure out where I can access British Ghosts. I expect I'll enjoy it if I see more than a 2 minute clip. I know I like the female lead (even though I can't remember what I know her from).
I haven't watched either Ghosts myself, but is that Nurse Barbara from Call the Midwife? (Also Bonnie on recent Grantchester, but she will always be Barbara to me.)

Haven't seen CTM, but yes, that's Charlotte Ritchie.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I haven't seen the Brit version, but the American Ghosts is delightful.

Just here to put in a plug for the unabashedly, ridiculously delightful Renegade Nell on Disney Plus. I binged all eight episodes in two days. Great writing, making a bizarre premise tons of fun, and the protagonist is played by the pitch-perfect Irish actress Louisa Harland, who I first fell in love with as the wonderfully weird Orla on Derry Girls. It shouldn't be as good as it is. Bonus: Lots of white guys complaining about how the premise of a woman being in a war and becoming a highwaywoman is absurd while completely ignoring the pixie named Billy Blind who gives her super fighting powers.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Renegade Nell
I have only watched the first episode so far, but I second the recommendation.

Strange New Worlds getting renewed is good news; Lower Decks getting canceled is bad news, but it had a good run nonetheless.
