To be fair though Niamh is a dastardly pirate so she has access to unlimited content at a five-finger discount.

I personally would never :worry:.

I've never watched even 2 minutes of Seinfeld but I've decided I won't like it. I'm not sure why.

ALL of their faces annoy me so probably just that.

I hear it was good too but then I look at their faces and I just don't believe it can be good.

Since the upgrade from PS4 > PS5 (I got the discless version) ... I don't even own anything that can play a DVD. None of our current laptops or computers even have optical drives.

Although actually, did PS2 play DVDs? I actually can't remember. We still have a PS2 hooked up for SSX Tricky, so if PS2 plays DVDs, then I guess I could take a trip to ye olde days and watch a physical box set :laugh:.

Were they as annoying as their faces suggest?

Eerie Indiana (only one season of this too, a travesty for both)

Only one season, but also a spin-off set in another dimension!!

Was a Big Brother fan, too :laugh:.

However, I don't think I've EVER seen them in order. It's one of those shows where you don't really have to though, I suppose, each episode is it's own thing.



I tried a BSG rewatch a couple of years back because I loved my first watch, but I found it just didn't work the same :think: I was up all night with my eldest when I first watched it, and properly binged it (like 5 eps a night start to finish) - and I think part of what made it so great was that sense of "dread" because they were constantly on the run, facing overwhelming odds, and that's what made it so intense (along with feeling like I was actually there because I was watching it so much :laugh: ). Anyway - I found that on a rewatch, it just didn't hit the same because it's not got that element of unpredictability. So it shall forever remain that very intense start-to-finish experience of watching all 73 episodes + the movies in the space of 2 weeks :shocked:

Honestly I literally slept 7am - 1pm, worked 2pm - 10pm and spent the night watching BSG while holding a baby. It was a strange, strange, yet very cosy time. I remember I had headphones on a massive extension cable from the TV because it had to be silent, but that was in the days before **** like bluetooth headphones :joker:.

1 - 3 are great (despite S1 clearly being very low budget), 4 is a bit ropey in all honesty, some great standalone episodes but overall meh. I enjoy 5, and actually 6. 7 I think is good but it's an intensely focused "finishing up" season - I can't imagine anyone getting much out of it if they haven't actually seen the rest of the show :joker:.

My personal favourite season is S3.

You should watch Angel as well - objectively, it's actually a better made show overall, definitely more consistent.

I don't blame you for thinking that.

But the Show however does have a certain charm to it for me that most of the other Shows of it's type just don't have imo.
