Name: Alexander/Mr.Picard
What TV have you been watching? Still Star Trek: TNG. But I'm preparing for a "Dynasty" re-watch. The show gets a reboot later this year and I want to be ready, haha.
Any recent season finale knock your socks off? The only recent one I've seen was Walking Dead's and that... bored me. (The entire show bores me these days, I have no idea why I'm still watching it.)
Book to television. Do you watch any shows like this? What are your thoughts on how medium transfers? No, not really. At least I can't think of any right now. I remember having problems with this when they turned Stephen King's The Dome into a series. I didn't like it much (but I liked the book even though it was WAAAAAY too long).

What do you think of the reboot of Dynasty? I only know the original Dallas and Dynasty a little bit, but I really enjoyed new Dallas, so I was looking forward to Dynasty. But actually the thing I liked most about Dallas was the old proper Dallas people, and the trailer for new Dynasty looks just super boring to me.

Yeah Dallas wasn't exactly a real reboot, it was more a continuation. I didn't like that one much, the kids looked nothing like the kids we saw on the original show, I'd have expected at least SOME resemblance... but I also enjoyed seeing Sue Ellen and Bobby (and JR) again, definitely! But... I tried to watch the first season but couldn't get through it, the older folks just weren't enough to hold my interest. With Dynasty I feel differently, it seems to be a complete reboot and I love the trailer BECAUSE it's so bad, I can't tell if it's intentionally bad or not but Inlove it, lol. (I'm weird.) However, I've always been more of a Dallas fan than a Dynasty one, maybe this is why that trailer doesn't irk me.

Ah. Well even though I'm not a massive fan, I'm definitely more attached to Dynasty than Dallas, so the new Dallas didn't hit any emotional buttons for me and I just enjoyed it and I liked that it enjoyed itself, which a lot of tv doesn't really seem to any more. Whereas I'm already a bit ugh about the new Krystle and how she's not a patch on the real one lol. I can totally see the appeal of its badness though. I hope it's glorious.

I'm a sucker for the first nine Dallas seasons (I'm one of those folks who like the Dream Season haha) and I'm way too atttached to the characters and the setting and that continuation just didn't cut it for me. I didn't hate it or anything tho, I just could have done without it. lol Yeah the Dynasty reboot seems to put Fallon into the spotlight instead of Krystle? That's gonna be interesting. And I love the new Steven, I really hope they'll fix the issues the original one had (what with him claiming he's gay but then marrying Sammy Jo and whatnot,I get it that the show couldn't show the things it should have due to it being the 80s, he WAS groundbreaking as a character) but looks like as if they'll do just that. Ah we'll see. A lot of people are saying the show will be canceled just like Nu!Dallas was and I'm inclined to think the same thing but hey, until then we might as well have some fun, lol.
