What TV series are you currently watching?

Doctor who and a documentary about wrecks in the Bermuda Triangle. Surprisingly I actually watched through the whole Star Trek lower decks series and got to the end this time.

What do you think about this season so far?

Well that's another one over with ending weirdly @nakedisnatural wha did you make of it? Seemed rushed with Ncuti's departure

I'm in the Doctor Who space quite a bit and I found out the finale episode we saw wasn't the original ending. The original ending had 15 and Belinda dancing in a club and Susan looking over from afar as a cliffhanger. But since the Disney+ deal was (and I think still is) up in the air, Ncuti decided to leave to pursue Hollywood instead as apparently he's a rising actor and is saught after or something along those lines. I also heard that Ncuti was still deciding when The Robot Revolution aired.

The finale itself though, I believe it was the best they could have done with the lead character stepping down. While I enjoyed the Chibnall era, I think it would have been executed much worse if it was written by him. The regeneration vfx was really mid and weren't as good as 13's regeneration imo.

I have such mixed feelings about 15s era - I quite enjoyed watching most episodes at the time but im not sure I would go back and watch many of them. I've seen the stuff about the nightclub ending, and it would have been pretty cool and a better set up to the next series than what we got I think, but when you still don't know if you're getting another series and you know you definitely aren't getting one with Ncuti, I agree its the best they could of done, and still sets up an interesting era for whatever comes next.

I can't really blame Ncuti for wanting to leave with no guarantees of another series, he's not really in a position to be turning down work to wait around for Doctor Who I guess, but I hope Russell isn't just taking advantage of the fact that David/Billie/Catherine would drop everything to return, and he actually has some kind of story planned.

just watched tencent's three-body, which i've been told is the only good adaptation of the three-body problem - i haven't seen any of the others, and i'm still on the third book, but what i hear about the netflix version is not promising. anyhow, aside from a few sticking points, i'm satisfied. but if i hear that ringtone one more time i swear to god

We'll just have to wait and see what's next. I did read that about Susan supposedly being in the ending but given the way the story was going up to the point where Ncuti decided he was leaving I personally felt it was even more obvious as Amy being pregnant with river song so I'm glad that bit got scrapped at least.
