I'm watching Star Trek Enterprise. It's not as great as Next Generation, but it works. I didn't like Deep Space 9 at all.

Why did you bounce off of DS:9? Many fans consider that to be peak Star Trek.
I've been working my way through The Expanse again. I couldn't get into the books for some reason, despite being an avid SFF reader, but I love the show. (It happens to me for some reason--most of Gaiman's works I'm meh about in book form but like on the big screen. Same deal with Game of Thrones--never got through the books in HS, even though I was reading other big fat fantasy at the time, but found the series...until the last few seasons...good.
Anyway. The Expanse probably the only SFF show I've encountered that actually feels like lit SF.
And for me, given most movie/TV SFF is a deacde or more behind lit SFF in ideas, it's nice to actually see the types of stories made into a show.
Silo and From.
Just finished BSG with my wife, can't believe I never got around to watching it until now. Amazing, I thought the ending was good, even though I know a lot don't.
I think the ending would be better appreciated today, first because it's not as bad relative to some recent disasters. But also because we'd be more aware of how the writer's strike at that time impacted the show.
Finished The Silo and started Outer Range. Silo was very good all season and Outer Range is very weird and interesting.
I’m currently finishing TNG, on the final episode, also watching Babylon 5, SNW, Farscape, getting ready to start DS9 and SG-1
I also just recently binged all episodes of seaquest DSV
That is a ton of things to be watching all at once. Have you ever seen these shows in the past or is this your first time watching them?

probably more Fantasy Western but, Ive been watching Wynonna Earp
Man, I am STRUGGLING to keep up with media. There is so much I want to watch and so little time. That includes TV, movies, video games, books, sports...
I am currently watching Star Trek: DS9 for the first time, loving it but i'm moving through it so slow. I also want to watch Silo, Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Mythic Quest, Welcome to Wrexham, Full Swing, Drive to Survive, Strange New Worlds...
It's overwhelming! It will take me years to watch all this. I don't know why I suddenly just can't keep up.
I know it's not sci-fi, but I'm rewatching SOAP. This and WKRP are the near pinnacle of comedy tv.
I'm currently partway through the first season of From. So far its a good mixture of monsters + mystery + sheer WTF. I just hope it continues to be coherent and eventually leads the viewers to a conclusion that, if not "reasonable", at least follows some sort of consistent internal logic. That's the part that typically winds up disappointing me in shows like this, so... fingers crossed, but so far so good.
