Re: VOY S4: Living Witness

The Doctor hopes that Janeway is spinning in her grave. Apparently, her final resting place is in Stanley's Death Park, in one of those fancy spinning coffins.

Re: ENT S4: Borderland

Archer is a freakin' genius. How else would you describe a captain who would dock his ship, with a gang of augmented murderers who got their ship, by taking out an entire crew of Klingons. I mean, there is no way that they're going to use that docking connection to invade and assault your ship.

Re: ENT S3: E²

What is up with "Enterprise" and the plasma injectors? They appear to be the most essential part of the ship. But, they don't have any extras? They are small, portable, and are, apparently, standardized across ship designs and races. Why does the Enterprise not have a storage closet filled with them?

Re: ENT S3: Damage

"Enterprise" goes from worse to worse. If that crew ever made it home and if they encountered any other races, they had to issue a warning about the marauders called humans. Archer is a dirty, filthy space pirate and the worst representative that humanity could have sent out into the galaxy. Apparently, his greatest "strength" is his ability to rationalize any act, no matter how repugnant. He's the embodiment of everything that's wrong with "Enterprise".

Re: ENT S2: A Night in Sickbay

Archer is the worst of captains. He's not the first Earth starship captain. So, you would think that he would have learned by example (and by reason) not to take his pet into someone else's house. His reasoning is that he transmitted the dog's genome to his hosts and if they had a problem, they should have told him not to bring it along. Is it reasonable to assume that an invitation includes your pet? No. It's like Archer arriving on Betazed, being invited to a diplomatic function, at the 5th House and being insulted, because his hosts took offense at him lighting up a cigar and using the Sacred Chalice of Riix as an ashtray. Some things are just, obviously, not done in someone else's house. He never seems to learn his lesson.

Re: ENT S1: Fallen Hero

It wasn't a bad episode. But, that count to warp 5 was... anticlimactic.

Re: VOY S3: Macrocosm

A bad rip-off of TNG's "Genesis", with some Johnny Bravo aliens thrown in for comic relief.

Re: ORV S1: Firestorm

Watching it now - when it's clear she's in a simulation when she shoots Isaac and is bleeding, she has that whole Ripley in Aliens vibe going on, even the music matches.

Kinda hot. :)

Re: ORV S1: If the Stars Should Appear

Less great than last weeks episode, but still good. And Liam Freaking Neeson??

Re: ORV S1: About a Girl

Fantastic episode.

Re: ORV S1: Command Performance

Not bad.... not bad at all!

Re: ORV S1: Old Wounds

Followed jammers reviews on my 700-odd episode rewatch of the ST universe series. So glad he's reviewing The Orville and letting people comment, feels good. :)

First episode was quite enjoyable, makes me want more. :)

Re: VOY S7: Friendship One

He may as well have been wearing a red shirt....

Re: VOY S7: Human Error

The finger-licking scene to check for levels of "sodium chloride" in the sauce.

Bloody hell, that was erotic.

Re: VOY S7: Body and Soul

Doc-centric episodes and Seven-centric episodes are my favourite.

This one was a joy. Love seeing Seven play difference characters. :)

Re: VOY S6: Virtuoso

2 stars, upped to three by the scenes between Seven and the Doc.

NO ** YOU'RE ** CRYING!!

Re: VOY S6: Blink of an Eye

A thought I had in terms if time dilation and compression and so on, these comments start in 2007, for a show first observed on 2000, and more and more people are commenting as the years go on - 3 comments per year initially, and 13 last year. Every time someone comments, we're adding onto a log book of sorts, something that may be preserved for a long time, and each comment we read may have been posted yesterday, or a generation ago... imagine the technical and other differences in our own culture between the first comment and the last?

For example right now, a loaf of bread is £1.00 to £1.70, the iPhone 7+ is the pinnacle of mobile phones along with the Galaxy S7 Edge (I think), typical broadband speed here in the UK is about 20Mbps, Trump is in power in the US and about to bring us to the brink of WW3 (not really, I hope), we're about to enter the era of the superbug because of our overuse of antibiotics, and climate change is starting to get VERY real due to the inability of some of our leaders to tackle it.

I wonder how things compared in 2000, in 2007, will compare in 2050?

Just thought that was pertinent to this episode.

Re: VOY S6: Blink of an Eye

Lovely ending too. Very poignant. East three stars. I love time-augmented & time-travel episodes....

Re: VOY S6: Blink of an Eye

Fascinating episode, watching effectively our own history, our superstitions and inventions and breakthroughs.

Re: VOY S6: Fair Haven

This Irishman thought this one was a lot more charming than it should have been. Don't worry, I know Hollywood can't do an Irish accent and I accept that. :)

"Delete The Wife."

Brilliant....

Re: VOY S6: Pathfinder

@Gus:

"And he's going to guide "project voyager", how can that possible succeed with an obsession-hungry person like him at the helm?"

How can it not??

Quote: "Obsession is a lazy word used to describe the dedicated"....

Re: VOY S6: Pathfinder

A very satisfying ending. :)

Re: VOY S6: One Small Step

"The Yankees, in six games"

NO, YOU'RE CRYING!!!!!

Re: VOY S6: Riddles

No-one commenting on the little eyebrow homage at the end? I am disappoint. :)

Re: VOY S6: Riddles

2 stars? Not a great fan of Neelix, but I thought this one was quite sweet. 3 stars, easy.
