marlowe Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Ack - I threw my back out and am now bedridden for the weekend, at least. We're going into reading period at my undergrad, so there isn't much studying or work that I have at the moment. Anyone have any recommendations for movies available on Netflix or readings I can access without having to leave my bed? Do the BBC's "Sherlock" if you have not already checked it out. AWESOME stuff.

I just re-watched Star Trek: First Contact for the first time a while. It is awesome. This and Star Trek II (and IV) is da best ones. Also, I am drinking right now. Yay! Star Trek in the canon FTW.

marlowe Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 What is a 'prequel'? TripWillis and marlowe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonessrampant Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Star Trek on the whole is ALWAYS better than Star Wars, even though I still quite like Star Wars (at least episodes 4-6). I'm a huge trekker, though, so my perspective may be biased. I will second (third?) the Sherlock suggestion. DO IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelevinfan Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Unfortunately I've already watched all of Sherlock, otherwise that would be the most brilliant suggestion ever. I'll check out Star Wars and Star Trek, though! Never really seen either, so this should be fun :-) (especially egregious since I focus on sci fi...) Thanks for the suggestions, all!

obrera Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I just re-watched Star Trek: First Contact for the first time a while. It is awesome. I had to re-watch First Contact for one of my seminars this year. I had forgotten how awesome it is. I don't know why learning science in junior high couldn't be this fun....

Don't worry, spasticlitotes. I will never judge you for this. Also, hi. I get to join the party again, having finally received an acceptance! It's sad how excited I am to pick classes when I haven't even heard back from the majority of the schools I applied to, and thus have no idea what classes I'll be picking from -- YAY ANYWAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekim12 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Season 1 of Downton Abbey was deliciously good. Season 2 was meh. It's getting all too British soap opera-y. Sherlock is wonderful. For other British stuff, try Black Books or Black Mirror. The first is hilarious sit-com. The second is creepily plausible sci-fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
