So Sci-Fi club has been sluggish and I know I'm having trouble keeping up with it myself. So how about we mix things up for a bit?
I'm thinking we try something a bit more ubiquitous and easily accessible: like something off Netflix or Hulu or along those lines. There's various titles to choose from.
A few suggestions to throw in the pool:
Black Mirror on Netflix
Cowboy Bebop on Hulu
For a series, we would just pick the first episode(s) and focus discussion on those, or have a general discussion for those already familiar with them.
Anything on those sites you highly recommend or really want to see? I'll see what people come up with after a few days and we'll decide on material for the next club by the end of the week.

Just a thought: rabb.it could be useful if some want to watch together (simultaneously).
Good idea in general. I'll just say that I found Cowboy Bebop to be kinda dull, while Black Mirror sucked :)
I'm very late to the Cowboy Bebop crowd, so I can understand why it has such a passionate fanbase as it does though I totally get your point. It's a show that I think could do with a solid overhaul, but that rarely works out well and I do not think they could capture the same feeling the show has. I'd argue that Firefly makes a better CowBop than CowBop does, at least for western audiences; they replaced the background setting of "Japanese cities in Space!" with frontier towns and modern cities, so that's at least twice as good.
Yeah, I do think I would've enjoyed it more if I had gotten into it much earlier. If you haven't seen it, Samurai Champloo is great.
