Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993)
I wish they made it today like they used to
The allure of a modern "Star Trek" adaptation that isn't incessantly action-packed cannot be overstated. Where other adaptations have erred on the side of high-octane thrillers, a refreshing change of pace would be one that harks back to the meticulously paced narratives of "Deep Space Nine" (DS9) and "The Next Generation" (TNG).
DS9 championed a measured approach, showcasing rich conversations, comprehensive discussions, and a deep exploration of alien species and their unique cultures. It shone the spotlight on the multitude of galaxies beyond our own and presented us with an intricate tapestry of interstellar politics and diplomacy. This immersive dive into the diverse species served as a magnificent reflection of the principles of the United Federation of Planets.
Similarly, TNG's success was largely due to this shared approach. Like DS9, it reveled in the complexity of its characters and the expansive universe they inhabited. It was never merely about the thrill of space exploration; instead, it was about what that exploration said about us as humans, and about the power of understanding, empathy, and peace in an often hostile universe.
What made both DS9 and TNG truly special was the strength of their characters, each one masterfully crafted with depth and nuance. These characters weren't just placeholders in a larger plot; they were individuals with distinct personalities, and compelling story arcs.
A contemporary Star Trek series that revives these successful elements could indeed become a beacon for fans craving a more profound, character-driven exploration of the Star Trek universe. It is not merely about relentless action sequences, but about the journey, the wisdom, and the spirit of discovery that lie at the heart of what made Star Trek truly 'great.'
Manifest: Duty Free (2021)
"Sometimes I forget how old you really are"
Either writers are idiots or they think we are. This sentence from Michaela to Cal says it all. Let's reconsider the facts: Passengers on the 828 skipped five years. For them it was like minutes. Cal didn't magically grow five years emotionally, mentally or physically. So Michaela saying to him: "Sometimes I forget how old you really are"- saying he's so wise - is just moronic.
I wonder if the show is ever gonna get somewhere, because it's already season 4 and nothing major is happening. Usually things like this get cancelled. Also, this minimum character on imdb is in the same ballpark as that sentence.
The Blacklist: Marvin Gerard (No. 80): Conclusion Pt. 2 (2022)
I hope this is the end
Even though I was not fan of Elizabeth in the later seasons, it ended so badly with her. This entire season was so weak, with such bad episodes that I really hope for the sake of the story that it's over. It ended well enough that I can just forget the last season and remember the good stuff from before.
The Blacklist: Between Sleep and Awake (2022)
Who writes this stuff?
This is the most predictable thing I've seen. It's exactly how things work in Hollywood and never in real life. I thought writers have moved on from this, at least in more serious shows. Blacklist used to be better than this. It looks like a throwaway season altogether.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
So many missed opportunities
I hope the next Matrix movie is called "Matrix: Redone", where they remake this into a proper movie. This cannot compare in any way to the first three installments. That's all I have to say about it.
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Had so much potential
An excellent franchise that somehow can't get on the right foot. It was a good attempt and I'm giving it a good mark just because of the legacy, and I want to see more and better Mortal Kombat movies (or tv shows for that matter). It has so much potential, but this seems half-baked and rushed. Movie seems like it started with one thing in mind, and ended with another. The Mortal Kombat tournament should be a grand event, with epic champions and gods and whatnot. And here it's basically a fight in the schoolyard, and that's it. Seems like the original two movies got that part much better.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
An excellent Batman interpretation (extended)
Fantastic serious story with great writing, very good philosophical questions presented and excellent effects. The storyline seems to blur the lines between good and evil, there are no clear good guys or bad guys. Even the Batman says "we're criminals" since he's a vigilante. Overall, great presentation.
Oh, and BTW, Ben Affleck is the best Batman so far. And he's so good looking.
The Blacklist: Ogden Greeley (No. 40) (2021)
An excellent episode in otherwise weird season
This is one of the highlights of this season, very well written, emotional, and it gives incredible insight into characters of Raymond and Harold, the kind we have not seen before. It was not an episode about Liz, which is additional bonus. As far as I'm concerned, it would be ok to just continue the story as if she had never existed. I'd be fine with that. Episodes like this one are way more interesting than Liz's emotional crap we're used to seeing.
The Blacklist: Elizabeth Keen (No. 1) (2021)
No one is that stupid
Did the writers of this show change? Why is Red now dumb all of a sudden? I don't like Liz becoming the main character on this show, and it seems it's heading that way...
Star Trek: Discovery: That Hope Is You, Part 2 (2021)
I sincerely hope that this show DOES NOT get renewed for season 4
I thought I would never say this about any Star Trek, but this experiment called "Discovery" is a terrible failure. Let us all please forget it and not continue it. Let us re-evaluate what we learned and get back to basics. This IS NOT Star Trek, whatever this show was, it could have had any other name and still be the same.
That quote from Gene Roddenberry in the end really threw me off. That message was about knowing others and exploring, which has nothing to do at all with what Discovery has been for the last 3 seasons. It is a disgrace to his message and ideas.
Homeland: Prisoners of War (2020)
An excellent ending
An excellent ending for a fantastic series. I don't think it could have ended better. Would not mind another 2 seasons, but if this is it, I'm very happy with it.
Star Trek: Discovery: Terra Firma, Part 2 (2020)
It was an ok episode
For all the micro-situations that happened this season, this one was the best. Focusing on a few characters all the time is not to my liking when thinking about Star Trek... I only had to skip about 30 seconds of this episode due to boring emotional crap - much better than other episodes this season.
Hope this show finds its way, for the sake of the name Star Trek, and I hope other episodes go up from here.
Star Trek: Discovery: The Sanctuary (2020)
Star Trek: The Desolation of Smaug
In this episode, the dwarves have entered a great forest where they are ambushed by the elves and the Elven King Thranduil. The dwarves somehow manage to escape and on their way are intercepted by the horde of orcs. The great battle ensues... Thranduil himself catches up to the dwarves but in the end decides to let them go. Meanwhile, the Smaug is awakened and is raining fire from the skies to the city of Laketown. Through great sacrifice, the Bard and his cat are able to launch an attack against Smaug and chase him away... the battle for another day.
The only thing missing in this episode were the barrels.
Star Trek: Discovery: Unification III (2020)
Not Star Trek
There are certain expectations in people's minds when someone says Star Trek.. This show does not comform to that.
Next TV shows coming:
Star Trek: Full House,
Star Trek: Marisol,
Star Trek: Home alone,
Star Trek: Baywatch,
Star Trek: Rescue 911,
Star Trek: The Terminator.
The production crew think they can add "Star Trek" to anything and that this is enough. Well it isn't.
This whole dissatisfaction with Discovery is simple to explain. This is NOT Star Trek. If you remove wording Star Trek from it, then the show can go on as it is, as some kind of third-rate drama which no one will watch.
Star Trek: Picard: Nepenthe (2020)
Exceptional
Such a fantastic episode to watch. So much emotion has been put into this, and it really showed. Spot on. Made me cry.
Better Call Saul (2015)
Nothing is happening in this show
It's S05E03 as of this moment, and I'm still waiting for the show to begin. Everything so far has been completely forgettable, no big events, no impactful situations. Three seasons spent on Jimmy's brother which basically has nothing to do with anything that's happening later. They could have explained Jimmy's life choices in two episodes.
Any highlights of the S04 come from characters that came from Breaking Bad... And they are few and far between.
This show is a completely missed opportunity.
Star Trek: Picard: Remembrance (2020)
It's been long 19 years since last Star Trek
Finally they made a new Star Trek show. Thanks for that.
Episode is so well written, beautiful, down to Earth (as they say), intriguing.. Almost brought tear to my eyes a few times. Hope to see Data more often, not just as a guest star...
Greta (2018)
Terrible
So many stupid situations that only really annoyed me. No major plot development, no character development, no mistery, just plain stupidity. Just go watch it so you can see for yourself.
