Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
I can't disagree with this review more! Jammer clearly put a lot of thought into it however.... ;-)
I got tired of reading the phrase "on its own terms" in the review. Voyager worked "on its own terms" at what It set out to be, a one hour action adventure while being entertaining. However jammer doesn't rate it highly because it doesn't live upto it's potential.
Into Darkness "works on its own terms" as a blockbuster movie while being entertaining but doesn't reach anywhere near its potential unfortunately.
I think the difference we are seeing is the review now of a casual Star Trek fan compared to one who used to be invested in the franchise.
The movie itself? Dull, uninspiring and simply disappointing in my opinion :-(

Re: Star Trek Beyond
This movie is proof that Into Darkness and future Star Trek films didn't need to trash all over Star Trek to be a good movie!
3/4 stars

Re: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
Hey guys,
Just thought I'd way in as someone who didnt see or hear almost anything about Star Wars until I was about 16 not quite 10yrs ago.
When I first saw this movie, I really wondered what all the fuss with Star Wars was about. I liked some things, the kid was good, the pod race & Jar Jar wasn't. But it seemed slow & ponderous.
However I then did enjoy AOTC but on repeat viewings that's just got worse.
So going back to the OT as someone who didnt see them originally when they come out, nor had them spoiled, they are far better movies, but to be honest I found them glorified fairytales & that were alright, I could never understand the hype.
Maybe thats because I'd been watching Star Trek since a young age, perhaps I was used to space, the weirdness, wonder & aliens Idk...
But yh... those are just my thoughts in response to @latex_zebra & Jammer about how newcomers view the moveis.... Enjoy! :)

Re: DS9 S6: Profit and Lace
This one is funny. A bit sexist too. But seriously take a break & enjoy the lighthearted fun you know... DS9 gives plenty of everything from its stories, & this is a comedy one.
& this episode deserves a star from all the haters who like "arc" & "serialised" shows because it plays into the Ferengis final evolution at the end of the series

Re: DS9 S6: Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night
Wow @Robert I appreciate your quick & detailed response. I'll have to watch & listen closer in future!
I always knew there was a reason I identified with Bashir! lol :-P
I still find it a little odd never to hear of Kira's siblings again... but hey :)

Re: DS9 S6: Inquisition
I dont understand this complaint of "all this never really happened." The writers are showing us how this what if premise would play out, they're the ones telling us this is how the characters would react.
Finally, its not all "undone" by the end because it impacts Bashir, adds Section 31 to the series & we see the regulars debating it.
The idea could've been quite bland but in the end the writing & performances take this familiar idea & make it intriguing & a lot of fun!

Re: DS9 S6: In the Pale Moonlight
Is this episode bulletproof? No. Is it interesting & engaging? Yes. 3 out of 4 stars.
The ideas & debates put forth are certainly entertaining.

Re: DS9 S6: Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night
Really? @Robert. That's interesting to know. Is this mentioned in the series? Or in books?

How about Kira having brothers? Isn't this never seen or mentioned again? :-O

Re: ENT S4: These Are the Voyages...
The really insulting thing? It HAD to be framed by a TNG episode, like there weren't enough movie's or references to them enough...
How about some DS9 or Voyager characters showing up? Ohhh...no...cause the creators dont love them, they just glorify the averageness that is TNG...

Re: VOY S5: Extreme Risk
Hmm...i didnt like this one, but I will say, why cant you just enjoy the hour that is on without over analysing??
Its a decent hour, things will happen off screen, this is the story that has been told competently. Maybe we should look at it this way, instead of the writes not continuing the story in late episodes, we should use our imagination for ourselves?? Rather than being spoon fed everything....
Im not necessarily an advocate of this, im just playing devils advocate and seeing if anyone might agree with that...?

Re: BSG S3: Crossroads, Part 2
Just guessing here...but isnt Starbuck the final cyclon because she is resurrected at the end of this episode??

Re: BSG S3: Maelstrom
This was boring and didnt make ANY sense.... I still dont think Starbuck has any special destiny, I used to like her, here she is just wasted.... :(

Re: Jammer Goes to L.A.: Voyager Pitch: The Warning
I liked the other pitches better, because I can actually see why this one was rejected.... has been done before to an extent and Voyager didnt really need it again.... still, seems a decent story in its own right :)

Re: BSG S3: Taking a Break from All Your Worries
I dont understand how Baltar is the bad guy??? If he had not co operated, he would have been shot and someone else (maybe Gaeta?) would have taken his place and signed the death warrants correct??
So Baltar just did what was necessary to stay alive, which makes him a bad person, but not a traitor. The Cyclons would have just dragged someone else in and threatened them to sign.

Re: TNG S5: Ethics
Thats because the show is not about the answer, its about the questions... Thats why everything is reset every week, to ask more questions on a different subject.
However its still TV, so it has to attempt an interesting story also.
