Since I'm a fan of Warehouse 13, I decided it was about time to watch Eureka. I've only seen the crossover episode.

Star Trek: TNG 'Family'. I always cry at Picard's admission to Robert during the fight in the vineyard.

'Family' is an all round, understated, triumph.

'We have engaged the Borg'
On the third episode of my Star Trek Sunday (Sky Mix) and we are getting to the end of season 3 with the breath-taking 'The Best of Both Worlds'.
(The story continues with Part 2 and 'Family' today)

Decided to try the tv series 'Sanctuary' from 2008 to see if it's good.

Had a weird day - everything was fine but oddly I felt empty. Came home to a good episode of Warehouse 13. Thank goodness for Artie, Myka, Pete and Claudia.

Right now watching Warehouse 13 episode 'Burnout' on Sky Mix.

Watched episodes of Star Trek Voyager, TNG and DS9 on Sky Mix when I got home. Now some more comfort viewing is needed!

Had one heck of a day. It was a busy shift followed by an in person group 'chat' with our CEO. I had been tasked with asking a difficult question and was ridiculously nervous and terrified. Then I realised that I had just managed to get through something much bigger.

Jumping ahead to Stargate SG1 episode 'Enigma'. We meet the Tollans including Narim, and their advanced technology attracts the attention of the NID and my favourite recurring character Colonel Harry Maybourne.

Sam: You didn't think the colonel had a telescope on his roof just to look at the neighbours, did you?
Jack: At least, not initially...

I used the randomiser to choose at Stargate SG1 episode to watch. 'Singularity' from season 1 introduces us to Cassandra (and the experiments of Nirrti). We also get to hear Jack describing a Black Hole to Teal'c, after Sam reminds them of his astronomical interests.

Having watched all 4 seasons of Continuum in just over a week, I can highly recommend this show. If you haven't seen it yet, put it on your watchlist.

Douglas Bear @nuitfantastique.bsky.social · 6d

Watching the last episode of Continuum 'Final Hour'. It's been fun.

Douglas Bear @nuitfantastique.bsky.social · 7d

Moving on to (the short) season 4 of Continuum and everything has changed, again.

Douglas Bear @nuitfantastique.bsky.social · 7d

It hit differently for me this time around.

Just finished my weekly Star Trek Next Generation marathon. Think I'm still a bit emotional at the moment. Cried my eyes out at the end of 'Sarak' where the mind-meld with Picard releases such grief, sadness, anger and love. plus coming to terms with having an illness.

After Star Trek: TNG 'The Most Toys' and the wonderful Saul Rubinek as Kivas Fajo, it's time for 'Sarek' which is just SUCH an episode. Mark Lenard and Patrick Stewart both do an incredible job. And not forgetting Joanna Miles as 'Perrin' who gives depth to a character we didn't know at that point.

More Star Trek: TNG on Sky Mix this morning. We are currently on 'Hollow Pursuits' and Lt Broccoli, sorry Barclay, is having quite a time of it.

I was late home so watched an episode of Warehouse 13 then back to Continuum currently watching (season 3, episode 7 'Waning Minutes')

Yesterday I got even more good news health-wise, so I'm a very lucky happy bunny.

OK, so here at DB residence we have succumbed to the impending Halloween festivities with a fluffy decoration. I don't yet have a name for our friend but couldn't resist.
