  1. I have had nothing but a bad time with - their customer service is atrocious, their phone and email contact system is beyond belief and frankly wish I had never got my broadband with them. I am in the process of dumping this subsidiary as their parent company is not much better!!!!!

  2. 情聖 was disappointing. One of the last Cinema City films. The studio specialized in comedies, but tastes shifted. #film #TV #NowBaoguMovies #NowTV

    That’s a lot of Trek! I have watched it all as it came out with the exception of a few episodes in 1966 before the neighbour kid pushed me to try it in TOS season one. So, I am always impressed by younger newcomers who systematically binge to catch up.

    Understand your love of ‘The Magicians’. :packetcat_smile:

    I’d like to recommend however that you give ‘The Ark’ a try if you haven’t been already. Its second season finale just ran on Syfy US last week, and will be on Peacock as of this week. ‘The Ark’ is a Dean Devlin creation that appeals to a lot of Star Trek, Stargate and classic sci-fi television fans. Like 90s Star Trek, it’s getting better as it goes on. Hopefully, it will be renewed for more seasons.

    Outside the US, it’s available in many countries but across a diversity of services. Check out the hashtags below to see if you might have it.

    I am in the process of setting up a new group chat bot account for ‘The Ark’ that interested people in the fediverse will be able to follow.


    There’s also interest in a group rewatch/watch and discussion here. I’ll be setting up a schedule in a few weeks. Input will be welcome!

  6. CW: The Ark - satisfying S2 Finale makes the case for S3! It’s the Earth exodus show that just keeps getting better, avoiding the narrative pitfalls of its predecessors. Aspirational Sci-fi lives!

    Glad you found this!

    Please keep the comments coming, with content warnings to cover spoilers as many are just finding this show.

    2 for 2 for The Ark in terms of landing seasonal arcs!

    While a show with a longer commitment might have drawn out the quest for a habitable colony planet for another season, bringing that story to a close after two seasons makes for a kind of resolution overall.

    Splitting the original crew, removing the main human antagonists one way or another, and introducing the question of alien civilizations in the final scene sets up the potential for a wider scope of interactions and exploration as the show hopefully moves forward to a third season.

    Wondering about what others thought of the introduction of some kind of virtual staging for Homebase 1.

    (Is there anyone who doesn’t think Homebase 1 is a tribute to Moonbase 1?)

    A few of us are looking to have a watch/rewatch party going soon. Look for a group bit account and a schedule to be announced soon.)

  8. Dean Devlin’s 20th century sci-fi television homage ‘The Ark’ is bringing us its S2 finale ‘Fortunate’ tonight!

    Would love to be running watch parties for this show if there were more than a handful of us here who were regular viewers. Perhaps we can get something going for a rewatch cycle?

  9. After seeing The Ark’s season 2 penultimate episode* this week, I’m hoping that NBCUniversal greenlights a third season.

    It’s a rare low budget Syfy Original that has a second season better than its first.

    I’ve already posed the question ‘Why aren’t you watching this?!!’ to Star Trek and Stargate fans who keep saying they’re hankering for an aspirational, upbeat classic sci-fi show and are less concerned with expensive production values or perfect scientific explanations.

    If you like Dean Devlin products like Stargate, Godzilla (1998), Independence Day, or listen to ‘The Inglorious Treksperts, I’d be very surprised if this isn’t your thing.

    I’d argue that if you liked 60s and 70s sci-fi shows such as Space 1999, The Starlost, Ark II, and the original Battlestar Galactica, you’ll find much to enjoy with this one.

    With a bit of digging, I was able to find that it has a broader international distribution than many realize, it’s worth tracking down in your market!

    And if you happen to have checked out The Ark since I last posted, I’d love to hear what you think.

    *Edited: I keep thinking the season is done as I’m just not thinking of 12 episode seasons anymore.

    Thanks for amplifying! This Polygon piece on ‘The Ark’ is hitting all the right notes.

    The only question is why aren’t even more Star Trek and Stargate fans watching and talking about about The Ark. The show has both of those in its DNA.

    Tonight’s episode 2 x 10 does feel very much like something from peak TNG or Voyager seasons. And there were even moments when I felt it could have fit in the first season of Space 1999.

    But, like SNW which is even less serialized, The Ark keeps steadily advancing character development regardless of whatever weird scifi thing is going on.

    Best of all, I realized when I tuned in tonight that it wasn’t the season finale - The Ark bucks currently trends with 12 episode seasons that allow time and story space for the ensemble to each have the focus.

    “Why do we like it so much? The Ark Podcast” ?!!

    This sounds like it might have a future 😅 :packetcat_wink:

    “Why and how is it surviving when other low budget sci-fi shows are not?” might be the best question — and other than my personal effort here to amplify and get some momentum with Star Trek and Stargate fandom, what’s getting traction?

    Perhaps it’s the unrepentant cheesiness of Dr Who, as some have claimed. (Not enough of a a Whovian to catch the homages that others are seeing.)

    So far, all I see for podcasting about the show is coverage on the general SyFy podcast. So, any live watch posts here are likely novel content.

    But other than a few countries, the distribution outside the US is spread across a plethora of smaller linear and streaming services. In addition to ones I’ve noted already, it’s on Binge in Australia, Sky in Ireland and Switzerland, Universal-Prime in France, M+ in Spain, Canal+ in Austria, and BluTV in Turkey.

    Clearly, the younger but dedicated fandom for ‘The Ark’ is talking about it elsewhere and who knows where they’re watching and talking about it. (Not checking for Discord channels, the subreddit has about 2.5K users.). But somehow across all of it, there was enough viewership and fan support to get the show renewed once.

    There is a wiki on Fandom but they’re not keeping up with the season 2 releases. the-ark.fandom.com/wiki/The_Ar

  12. @HippieScubaSteve

    Can I possibly persuade you to drop ‘The Ark’ somewhere into that watch queue if you haven’t already given it a try?

    I’d genuinely be interested in your take on it.

  13. Secondo JustWatch, Netflix domina ancora il mercato italiano dello streaming nel Q2 2024, con quote superiori a Disney+, Now TV e Paramount+ combinate. Netflix ha visto una crescita dell'1% a giugno, mentre Paramount+ ha perso l'1%. TIMVision e Infinity+ continuano a crescere stabilmente dall'inizio dell'anno. 📺🇮🇹 #Streaming #Netflix #DisneyPlus #NowTV #ParamountPlus
