You are a much braver man than I. I keep putting off starting it :wink:

Youā€™re really going through them quickly! Iā€™m still on episode 4 and any time I think about watching more I just think there are so many other things I could be watching or listening to :joy:

Iā€™ll complete it at one point because I have to. But Iā€™m not in a hurry!

I have had a lot of nights over the last couple of weeks where I have had to be awake with our youngest kid to try to make her fall asleep again. When that happens I donā€™t want to watch something good or something I need to focus on. In this scenario 2 episodes of K9 are perfect.

Iā€™m a couple episodes in and mostly itā€™s not like thereā€™s been any moments where Iā€™m like ā€œwow this is so awfulā€ itā€™s been more like the episode finishes and Iā€™m just like ā€œwow basically nothing happened in that and then it just unceremoniously ended.ā€

Most episodes are like that

A love triangle? Oh no, Iā€™m probably never watching the show then :laughing: thatā€™s genuinely one of my least favorite tropes of all time

Haha. Itā€™s a badly acted and written love triangle. It is magical. But it is not a big focus of the show.

Sounds like K9 might be a cure for restless babiesā€¦

You deserve more than a badge for that - you deserve a bloody medal!

Well done!

Youā€™re part of a very exclusive club - only 3 people have that badge.

Iā€™m more determined than ever to get it now haha.

Did it get better at the end? A reviewer on The Time Scales says some of the last episodes are really good?

Iā€™ve also heard the later episodes improve (although itā€™s a pretty low bar to be reaching aboveā€¦)

I think that the last couple of episodes are among the best but I donā€™t think I would call them good. There are some concepts that I think would have worked in regular Who. One problem is that the episodes are short and they donā€™t get enough time to flesh out the story. It is that it is set in London for no reason.

My favorite episode is probably ā€œLost Library of Ukkoā€. It is about a librarian that preserves planets and I think it is fun. I gave that episode 3/5.

The worst episode is ā€œMind Snapā€ (the lowest-rated thing on the site) which is a clip-show from the other seasonsā€™ episodes.

A clip show? Ha! They are usually bad, but a clip show of K9 sounds like torture.

Just watched the first episode again (made it 3 or 4 into the series a couple years ago).
The Jixen are just Chelonians from the VNAs right?
Iā€™ll try an episode or two a day - then I can watch the terrible clip show in a couple weeks :grin:
(I want that badge!!!)

I have not read the VNA. Good luck! You are welcome in the badge club!

Iā€™m determined to finish this one myself now. Not sure my eldest will continue with me though.

We should have a secret club where everyone with this badge can hang out!
