Next generation is how you do it I think.
That series went from pretty ridiculous in the first season(they were finding their feet I say) to really good all of a sudden. It got a bit beige here and there after season two, (who chose that colour scheme for the bridge??) but got better and better.

Not sure ice ever seen the last episodes ever. The films kind of sucked though.

The final episode of TNG is one of my all time favorite series finales. They did that fucker right.

And I liked Generations (the first "Next Generation" film) enough. It was a bit thin, but fine. First Contact was really great, I thought.

I really need to see those final episodes again. If I ever have.
Thexwholexway they dealt with Picard's PTSD was incredible. And he played a blinder in the role start to finish.

Have you guys heard about Love/Hate yet?

Drug/crime drama from Dublin making huge waves. Our national broadcaster in Ireland commissioned it and then BBC started showing it in Britain. It's really really good but different at exploring familiar topical territory in new ways.

I really think some of you would like it. It's huge here.

Though I'm thinking the heavy heavy Dublin accents might be an issue :)

I have not heard of it.But it sounds like something I'd be into. I'll see if I can find it floating around anywhere.

Actually, it looks like at least some of it is on Netflix. I've added it to my list. :thumbsup:
