Re: TNG S5: Disaster

1.5 stars

2.5 base minus one half for annoying children, and another half for a woman giving birth.

Its only because im feeling generous that i dont knock another half off for the singing

Re: TNG S5: Darmok

This episode was silly. The humans efforts to demonstrate english was absurd and unrealistic. I laughed when picard began communications with them by spouting out a big long string of gobbelty gook, instead of something like... *points to self* "PICARD". But its not all the humans fault, did the tamarians make any effort to understand english....at all?
Also agree with jammer, it took wayy too long for picard to figure out it wasnt a death match, and it seemed out of character to me that he spent his time sulking around his pathetic attempt at a campfire, and not being all olive-branchy picard.

Lastly, although its an interesting concept, lets be honest....a civilization that communicates only in metaphors would still be living in mud huts, not building starships. Its too restrictive, and not nearly detailed enough for that level of technology

Id give it maybe 2.5 stars for a couple touching scenes and an interesting concept.

Re: TNG S3: The Offspring

Sorry, but i didn't enjoy this episode like most others here seemed to. I found Lal incredibly annoying, her hair, the way she talks, the way she walks. Pretty much everything. I hated her. I mean...that helmet of hair was just distractingly horrible, and why does she walk like C3PO if data walks normally? But it wasn't just physical issues, i also found the interactions between her and Data were overly cutesy and predictable. In a series already crammed with "human behaviour appears weird to non-humans" jokes, this was pure overkill.

And the admiral was ridiculous too. Cold, heartless one minute, blubbering the next

I wasn't the slightest bit touched by the end scene. Omg....just die already! I only wish they'd shown her being recycled for scrap. Good riddance
