@KALofKRYPTON well 20 years after Nemesis would put it about 12-3 years after the destruction of Romulus so we already know Picard was no longer a Captain, he was an Ambassador at that point so maybe in this new series he still is

@RogerRoger also i have changed all my Social media profile pics to Picard #JeanLucPicardIsBack

@WanderingBullet That's a good question. I know sometimes they included that into BtAS other times they don't. Don't they also included The Adventures of Batman and Robin as part of the series as well?

I've been watching a ton of Star Trek recently. Would be very cool to see Picard again. For the record I did enjoy the latest series, Discovery. Not perfect but definitely enjoyable.
Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

@LieutenantFatman Discovery is a good show! Just really want CBS to say its either alternate time line or just tidy it all up!

@LieutenantFatman @KALofKRYPTON yeah Discovery isn't as bad as people make it out to be but it does have some issues that need to be fixed

still with a brand new show runner for season 2 maybe they will be able to fix it

@Tasuki I've always thought The Adventures of Batman and Robin was a different series but Wikipedia says that Batman: The Animated Series is also known as The Adventures of Batman and Robin. So apparently they are the same.

@RogerRoger Doesn't seem like Amazon (US) has the basic version, only the Deluxe Limited Edition.

@WanderingBullet Yeah I think the later seasons of BtAS was renamed adventures of Batman and Robin because they included Robin alot more. It may have also been a marketing ploy since Batman & Robin was the latest Batman movie at the time.

@Tasuki I see. Thanks.

@RogerRoger @KALofKRYPTON Star Trek Discovery is getting a DVD/blu-ray release in November, U.S only currently no news on a UK release, will you be buying it if we get it?

@FullbringIchigo Nope.
It's been a decent show despite the many flaws, but I've no wish to re-watch it.

Second season looks like they're planning on making it significantly more fun, which will certainly help.

Thankfully, The Orville has shown that post-BSG heavy-grim-drama Sci Fi isn't the only TV sci fi that works.

@KALofKRYPTON yeah the Orville was pretty good, better than i expected it was going to be, i think that's out on DVD soon too, October i think

but your right not every show has to be dark and gritty like BSG or GOT but i guess because they are popular other shows are going to chase them

@RogerRoger IF we get the Picard series, i'm excited for it but apparently they haven't found a distributor for outside the U.S yet

@RogerRoger Good to know. Thank you. Amazon's (US) product info sometimes isn't very accurate when comes to movies or tv shows. I still remembered when I pre-ordered Avatar: The Last Airbender Blu-ray set it stated that it only has 1 disc in it when it was supposed to be 9 discs instead. There were other Blu-rays I bought from them too that had incorrect content information as well.

@RogerRoger unless CBS decide to roll out All Access over here, there have been rumours about it

So I have been catching up on the current season of Arrow. Wow this season is probably the best one since season 3. I will admit though the first 5 episodes or so was a bit slow to get into bit after those episodes I am finding it hard to stop watching. I hope that Flash and Legends is this good.

@Tasuki Never managed to enjoy Arrow.

From the casting, to the early 'not Batman'-ness to the flashback happy presentation. Just don't like it.

The Flash is alright. When it's good it's really on fire, which is often, admittedly - but I'd really like them to ease up on Barry. They promised that for last season that it wouldn't be 'everything is Barry's fault' all over again, but they just can't seem to help themselves.

Legends is dumb and annoying (they are too crap at everything), but entertaining enough most of the time. Hopefully the addition of JC and more magic stuff will work. Black Lighting was surprisingly very good, but I'd say the best of the CW DC stuff continues to be Supergirl at the moment.

@KALofKRYPTON Lol and Supergirl is the one I can't get into. I enjoyed the first season but midway through season 2 I just lost interest in it and haven't gone back to it. I might try it again once I finish the other shows but I don't just something about it doesn't interest me.

@Tasuki it is rather helpful that I find Chyler Leigh and Katie McGrath incredibly interesting.

Season two picks up for the second half. It's all pretty good from there onwards.

The producers total fan-service cameo selections are also much appreciated too, and even matches The Flash. I would say surpasses - but no-one's better than Dawson's Dad Flash! They even chucked in Julio from the old Flash series too!

Posted here to keep some thread segregation going...

How do you guys feel about the upcoming Watchmen TV show? I'm not sure but I'm assuming it will have deeper ties to the recent comics (which I've mostly not bothered with) than the original.

I'm not sure the concept really works for such an uncertain format - but I would like wider connections with the Arrowverse - as it opens up many possibilities given the scope of the Doomsday Clock/Rebirth comics.

Which as far as I understand poses that Doc Manhattan is directly responsible for The New 52 universe, and the resultant other multiverses as he attempts to fix reality following his observations of Flashpoint - I could be wrong there, shout up if you've read it!
