If only I had heard of Dalek Relaxation for Humans while trying to move over the forum!

A big thank you to @subspatial for kindly allowing NiteSciFi to reside on his server, This will provide a new home for the forums for hopefully many years to come. At the moment the forum is accessible through subspatial.net/nitescifi, with the main nitescifi.com domain acting a s a redirect. If you spot any issues, just let me know! 🙂

Oops - fixed! 🙂 Helps if I use the "Make links never expire" option...

I'm really looking forward to Obi-Wan, but I'm holding off until the whole season and will then binge watch it all. Orville - I only watched the first few episodes, need to give it another go as I didn't give it a proper chance. Also not seen The Boys. I'm so bad at watching shows. Miles behind everyone else. 😞 Currently working through The Handmaids Tale, which actually I'm loving at the moment.

Funnily enough, I've just been rewatching all Doctor Who and have reached Season 4 with CT. I always quite liked her on the show.

Hi guys, I hope you've been coping well over the last Year of Hell. I had a bunch of issues with the domain which took an age to resolve, so apologies all for the downtime! Made a few changes to the forums - all old content can now be found in the "Archives" to keep things a bit tidier. I might move a few of last years discussions into the new sections. I'm also looking for a few suggestions: NiteSciFi's slogan - currently "Science Fiction Community" - maybe you can think of something better? 🙂 Forum Banners - are you happy with the images for each forum on the home page? Layout of the forums / categories - Any suggestions most welcome.

The media definitely doesn’t help. But what’s worse is SOCIAL media. Did you know 50% of Facebook users are Virologists, and the other 50% are legal experts? so many arrogant pricks thinking they know the lifecycle of the virus and how to stay safe (or thinking it’ll just give them a mild cough so no need to worry about staying indoors). i want to get rid of Facebook so much... but just can’t bring myself to do it. I must secretly enjoy the negativity. I hate people.

How is everyone coping with the current crisis? I’m still working as normal (my company supplies food to vessels so quite critical) but my partner and son are both off indefinitely. Thankfully no one we know has caught it yet but the UK is definitely getting more severe. Is everyone ok health and job wise? One our biggest suppliers (very big UK foodservice operator) told us they have £5m worth of stock going out of date very soon - it could break them. 😳

Season 3 did have a couple of cringe worthy episodes/moments, but it was great to me. It was the first time since the dominion war that we had a proper story arc. When enterprise was first aired, I don’t actually think I watched it properly until season 2 - that’s when I felt they were making it more “Star Trek” and less something new and different. (Which always fails if you don’t look after the older fans too) Minefield and Regeneration were awesome. Our first taste of the Romulans and Borg in one season! Season 4 was definitely very strong. The mini-arcs, I loved. I wish they did this more before.

Although part of me hopes they do resurrect the Borg and repair some of the damage Voyager did to make them look weak.

Spoiler tag added! So, 3 episodes in. I'm very pleased so far, although pacing is a little slow in places with episodes 2 & 3. I was hoping to see more previous cast by now - 3 episodes in and they just kind of dropped Hue in there with little introduction... :S But it was still nice to see him. I'm really liking Doctor Jurati's character - I hope she sticks around. (photo below if you're like me and still having to google the main cast to remember their names) I'm curious to see how the whole Borg thing turns out. I can't quite tell if they're going to be a main component of the season or if they're just using the borg cube to house the Romulan storyline.

Ahhhhh! 24 hours! (For us in the UK) Unbelievably excited! 😄 😄 😄

This may only be for UK users currently. Britbox (a BBC/ITV collaboration - their attempt at a Netflix style platform) have just added 600 classic doctor who episodes for online viewing. https://www.britbox.co.uk/doctorwho I thought this was quite exciting - first major attempt at (legally) deploying the back catalogue of Doctor Who online for streaming. 🙂

Is it really that Borg themed? We’ve seen the cube once but as has been theorised, this could just be 7of9’s toy rescued from when the Borg collapsed in voyagers finale. Lal is a good theory - I just watched that episode of TNG. Great potential there.

I could not be more excited about this. It could be Patrick Stewart sitting in a chair talking for an hour and I’d still love it.
