The first season of Star Trek Discovery ended a couple of weeks back and Anita finally managed to catch up with all the episodes. I must say that the series was more gloomy that I would've hoped but it ended up on a happy note. But there would be plenty of twists to come I was sure.
We also finally learned where Captain Georgio wasn't from Ipoh but Pulau Langkawi. I was sure that would be an important information for future quizzes.
On the whole I felt that the second season should be more upbeat. I could only take solemn tone a certain amount. It would be no fun it it was too serious like it was with Battlestar Galactica. The franchise had however carried enough for me to root for the second season ...

I had been watching the trailer for quite some time and when it finally came out today, I watched ethos first couple of episodes straight up.
"Lost in Space" received a Netflix reboot and the story was quite compelling. The Family Robinson was there of course - to keep the old nostalgic storyline going - although the premise was different.
Another bit that got me was one of the daughters was clearly not theirs. Hollywood wanted to keep the diversity thing going on I guess. I found that rather distracting.
Clearly Netflix spent a ton of money on this. The acting was solid, the special effect wouldn't be out of place in a mobile blockbuster. Now, the story arch must meet expectation. And expectations were pretty high ...
I watched 3 episodes so far. Another 7 to go for the season ...
