Do you watch soaps?

[Foxaèr]

There are a few others I am now remembering.

One I liked, which was canceled, Savannah

I only watched the beginning of this one, Passions

Also, I've been watching the remake of Dynasty

Do you watch soap operas like "Days of our Lives"?

Hera fumed when she learned the scroll she was holding over Zeus' head had been stolen from her safe deposit box.

Aphrodite kept Ares busy so Hercules could escape from his temple without being detected.

Cupid bought Daphne's engagement ring back after learning she pawned it because she is broke.

Eros guessed that Discord, who is not feeling well, may be pregnant.  Psyche, who was to elope with Eros, ran off after Discord revealed she and Eros had made love.

Artemis was wounded after she fended off Nemesis, who was after the gold talisman Hades gave her.

Hermes could not dissuade Clotho, who quit the Fates because she can no longer work with Atropos. 

Apollo comforted Hestia, who was devastated that Poseidon wants to continue living with Themis.

Hephaestus fumed when Aphrodite refused to marry him until things are right with Hera.   Soon after that someone killed Hera's peacock, then sent the dead bird to her with a note that said, "Happy now?"

After Mnemosyne was attacked a second time, Pan checked on Morpheus, whom he thinks is the culprit. Pan searched Morpheus' room for a toga Mnemosyne said got torn when she struggled with her shrouded attacker.

Achilles went to Troy after Themis suggested that was where Paris was holding Helen captive.

Ares decided to pit Hercules against Zeus as part of his plot to oust Zeus as King of the Gods.

Tantalus was stunned when his long-lost daughter, Niobe, returned to claim her share of the family ambrosia.

Like Star Wars?

Or Star Trek

Or game of thrones 

Or that new Amazon series allegedly set in pre-LOTR middle earth……


The days when each episold is a largely independent transaction that must be justified on its own merits is gone.   Instead it’s all a package deal in which you such up all the bad on the premise that there will be some good eventually.

I am a Trekkie, and I live 35 miles north of Riverside and pass through it on occasion going north/south on US 218.  Some mention there of Star Trek, but the town seems pretty much oblivious to it.  Have not been to a Trek Fest yet (if they are still going on); one of my life's goals, though.  The most salient image was that of a guy dressed as a Klingon with a corresponding blaster that was a squirt gun.

I guess what is a bit fascinating with shows like "Days of Our Lives" is since it is going on for 58 years they don't expect you to start watching the show from the beginning, but just tune in without knowing who is who or what is going on. Even the writers of the show don't know the past stories. I mean, it does have story arcs that spread over episodes or even seasons.
Although from my brief foray into soaps, it does seem like there is barely anything happening in each episode. You can miss like 10 episodes and it won't matter.

Nope, no soap here.

Klingons carry disrupters, not blasters. You will now have to repeat your plebe year at Starfleet Academy.

Do you watch soap operas like "Days of our Lives"?

No. I hate soap operas! I live to watch and watch to live only sci-fi - sci-fi horrors, sci-fi sort of comedies (like "Pluto Nash"), but most of all - sci-fi tv shows, such as the one in my signature which I got addicted to and such as "Stargate SG-1".

[Gwaithmir]

No. Thank you, and goodnight.

Klingon blaster is a phaser.
