Lance the Viewer
You’ve discovered the semi-secret page. In fits and spurts, I consume a fair bit of media, although not much of it current. I talk now and then about what I’m watching and how I can’t binge like most people seem to be able to. Rather than posting about it every few months, I thought a dedicated page might be nice, updated whenever I remember to do so.
The Current TV Rotation
The Rotation generally has 10 shows in it. I like variety in my viewing and usually cycle through, often in alphabetical order which, yes, I know is a weird way to organize your viewing (when a “new” show replaces one I’ve finished watching, the order gets adjusted).
This is where I am right now, the next ten episodes up.
- Intergalactic, S01E02 (2021)
- Rick and Morty, S08E03 (2025)
- Robotech: Macross, S01E07 (1985)
- Salvage 1, S01E05 (1979)
- Space 1999, S02E16 (1978)
- The Tick Animated, S03E06 (1996)
- The Watch, S01E04 (2021)
- V, S01E01 (1988)
- Doctor Who Classic S14E24 (1976) (Talons of Weng-Chiang Part 4)
- Earth 2, S01E05 (1994)
V is a new edition, replacing Eerie Indiana, and I’ve only got five episodes of each of the final season of The Tick animated and the only season of The Watch left, so other shows will appear in the near future, too. I may even already know what they are.
More Sporadic
Things in this group aren’t part of the regular rotation, exactly. They might be things I’m watching with one of my kids or streaming on YouTube once in a while, or even occasionally on a streaming service (we rotate between several of those). Next up:
- Get Smart, S02E19 (1966)
- Starfleet Academy, S01E06 (2026)
- Strange New Worlds S04E04 (2026)
- The Secrets of Isis, S01E04 (1975)
- MacGyver, S01E05 (1985)
And I did just finish season 4 of Ted Lasso, one of the few non-genre things I follow, which was well worth the watch.
The Last Five Movies I Watched
I don’t do a lot of rewatches, but there are a few. I also don’t do a lot of current stuff because I’m nearly always disappointed in the writing, and those I do are getting rarer. There hasn’t been something yet this year that demanded I watch it in theatre. I need more than just eye candy to part with the price of a ticket, so while there are a number of 2026 movies I think I’d like to see, every single one of them falls under the heading of “wait until it comes to a streaming service I already have”. I do strongly believe that we all should
But I do watch movies, typically getting in around 40 a year and this year I’m hoping to hit 50 (I’m at 39 right now) but that will probably come at the expense of slowing my episodic viewing from its already not-rapid pace. I’ll try to update this piece whenever it’s five new ones. Most recent watch is at number one and working backward in time from there.
- The Monster Club (1981)
- Roadhouse (2024)
- Tremors (1990)
- The Day of the Triffids (1963)
- Night of the Comet (1984)
