Aloha Bricksetters... Happy Wednesday/Christmas Day to Everyone in the Forum!
Because it is Christmas Day I have again returned to preside over another BonusBall. I'm also very, very thankful for my Secret Santa sending me a minifigure-scale build of my current truck and some awesome Galidor McDonalds polybags - the first fifty nine (59) unique posts get a numbered entry for Saturday, December 28th UK BonusBall.
Please try avoid double-posts, and I am easily confused and don't count so well.
As I have a wide variety of extra sets, polys, figures and Lego-related whatnot in my inventory, the prize will be a bit of a "winner's choice". The only condition will be that whatever prize the lucky winner chooses - it will be revealed further below in thread. And if you don't care, there's a #30543 Christmas Train polybag with your name on it!
The question for your consideration:
I have the luxury of being off for the next SEVEN days. Other than travelling or being elsewhere (Disney) for a week, I've not had an actual week off in fifteen years. In between my continued LEGO reorganization effort and downsizing some sets I've had kicking around for many years, painting my basement walls and cutting up a fallen tree in my backyard, I plan to binge a couple of shows.
If you had a week off, what television, movie franchise or other visual media would you binge during that period?
@SumoLego's answer:
Tomorrow/Friday it'll be the Mandalorian in anticipation of Chapter 8, which drops on Friday. I also plan to binge Firefly. (I was also contemplating starting The Expanse, or The Witcher but I'm on the fence with both shows.)
Good luck!
Enjoy!

Also, given that it’s holiday time, I’d like to work my way through Pixar’s catalogue with Master (almost) 7 and Master 4. I don’t think Miss 1&1/2 will sit still enough, but we could try.
I'd really like to watch Battlestar Galactica again, but I fear it's too long for a binge...
...a more likely proposition would be all the Star Wars films in chronological order followed by Back to the Future trilogy if there's time.
I’d love to binge/re-watch classic Dr Who and am pondering a subscription to BritBox for that very purpose. Although I think it would take more than a week to get through all 600+ existing episodes...
Thanks for hosting @SumoLego, enjoy your week off.
I would go for The Mighty Boosh. I don't imagine many people outside the UK even know what it is and its a bit like marmite.....
As far as binge watching, I would re-watch the entire Quantum Leap series (a real blast from the past... or is it future?), all 3 Godfather movies, the LOTR trilogy, and Seinfeld of course (it’s real and it’s spectacular!)
Thanks for hosting @SumoLego and please look the other way while I (faulty math) enter 58 more times...
Thanks for hosting @SumoLego
All 5 series of Gotham - one of my favourites of the last 10 years.
I have found myself watching Numberblocks (one for the UK parents) on my own recently, when the little one gets distracted, so probably that or some other kid repeated tv as not watched much of mine for a very longgggggg time
The Expanse is also on the list though - will probably binge that at some point in the near future.
Just the wife and I: Been recommended Utopia on Amazon Prime so I'd like to give that a shot.
Just me: Most likely Porn Hub (or similar).
I've always wanted to binge all the Stargate shows. I've heard their awesome. Same with the newer Battlestar Galactica.
If I'm going the movie route, I'd watch all the Alien/Predator movies. I know some of the newer ones aren't great, but I still like them. The the extended cuts of Lord of the Rings.
