K9 - How?!?! Why?!?!

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

You’re really going through them quickly! I’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:

I’ll complete it at one point because I have to. But I’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 don’t want to watch something good or something I need to focus on. In this scenario 2 episodes of K9 are perfect.

I’m a couple episodes in and mostly it’s not like there’s been any moments where I’m like ā€œwow this is so awfulā€ it’s been more like the episode finishes and I’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, I’m probably never watching the show then :laughing: that’s genuinely one of my least favorite tropes of all time

Haha. It’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 babies…

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

Well done!

You’re part of a very exclusive club - only 3 people have that badge.

I’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?

I’ve also heard the later episodes improve (although it’s a pretty low bar to be reaching above…)

I think that the last couple of episodes are among the best but I don’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 don’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 seasons’ 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?
I’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!

I’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!
