We were watching the season premiere of the The Big Bang Theory and I saw the promos for a new show Scorpion, which would come on after.  It didn't look too bad so I decided to watch and see if it was any good. I liked the overall concept.  I mean, a group of genius hackers -- what's not to like?   http://www.cbs.com/shows/scorpion/ Yes, the first mission was a bit "over the top", but it's a TV show so what else do you expect.  I'm also not too sure...

There are very few shows I watch on TV, but probably my favorite that I wait for each year is Falling Skies which is on TNT. The fourth season is starting on June 22nd, and from what I've been reading and watching it looks like it's going to be a good one.  If you are not familiar with the show, it's basically about a group of survivors from a catastrophic alien invasion. Steven Spielberg is the executive producer. Any other fans of the show?  We can use this thread f...

What's the last movie you saw?  Doesn't matter if it was at home or at a theater. Last one I saw was Captain Philips.  I thought it a pretty good movie, especially since it was based on real events.

I just finished watching season 3 of Star Trek: Discovery . I thought we had a thread on this show, but I couldn't find it, so we'll just start with this one. I've always been a huge Star Trek fan and I've watched Discovery since the beginning. I like the show overall but didn't care much for the whole remake of the Klingons and a bit of that story in the first season.  I liked season 3 and thought they did a good progression with jumping into the future and starting to rebuild the Fede...
