Nor do I care much about Worf's father or his stupid honor.

:)) I know the feeling.

If Klingons were a real race, I'd be racist.

Mission accomplished, Mr. Roddenberry.

The Guild-- Seasons 1-6

A clever idea for a series, one which inspired Joss Whedon to do Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog.   Si is deeply involved in The Game, an MMORPG, which she participates with her local guild, The Good Knights.  The context isn't as clever as the format, in which each episode lasts less than ten minutes each.  So a season of 12 episodes is seen in the length of a feature film.  This makes for a fast-paced character-driven sitcom, suited especially for video game nerds, but us friends (or parents) of video game nerds can really enjoy it too.

I spent the last few nights watching it all, and it was a lot of fun, occasionally satiric, and certainly many laugh out loud moments.  Nothing deep, but a good time was had by all.

4/5

I have just begun watching Star Trek from episode 1.

So far the first 3 episodes have been stupidly similar. Someone on the crew either gets possessed or isn't who they seem to be.

Also people die in every episode. On episode 3 Kirk has to kill a friend he had known for 15 years. Damn this ship is dangerous.

I've watched the first three (of six) episodes of the BBC show Happy Valley on Netflix Instant. It is a really good show.

Kind of had this same idea too. Unfortunately I've started and fallen asleep 3 times in the first episode, which has pretty much derailed the project.

I made it til season 3, where the budget gets really low. Some things are better left to be watched as highlight reels on Youtube.
