Star Trek: Voyager: Mortal Coil (1997)
Season 4, Episode 12
1/10
Another mambo-jumbo
27 June 2012
Warning: Spoilers
These kind of episodes, as far as I'm concerned, have gone beyond "boring" , they've gained the status of "ridiculous".

Neelix dies and he's revived by 7of9 after 18hours. He then looses his faith because he realizes that the Talaxian afterlife is a lie. His reaction to this news is typical to any brainwashed individual: he panics, he's hysterical and loses the will to go on with his life.

Another very low charisma character that I personally dislike - Chakotay - comes with his "tools" and the spiritual rambling commences. Near the end of the episode Chakotay says to him that the absence of any kind of afterlife can lead to a stronger faith. What?! Not only it doesn't make any sense, but one would think that a 24th century Starfleet officer would slap that clown (Neelix) on the head and ask him to stop believing non-sense suited for children that can't sleep.

It's true that Star Trek is not about only science but also about human condition, ethics (not morality), adventure, etc. but it is certainly not about religion, spirituality (what is that by the way?) and superstition.

Star Trek: Voyager: Sacred Ground (1996)
Season 3, Episode 7
1/10
Science vs Spirituality
25 June 2012
Some reviewers before mine are made by what one of the better review author would call "scientifically-illiterate audience" and boy I couldn't say it better myself.

It baffles me how in the 21st century there still are people that would call this mambo-jumbo "One Of Voyager's Most Profound Episodes!" Another one said that it was nice to see that "the captain have to rely on something other than science or engineering to solve a problem". Oh but there is NOTHING else one could rely on to solve a problem other than science. Amazing what people say without even thinking.

The amount of delusion people still live in saddens me a lot. I love Star Trek, Voyager included, but I have to give this episode one (1) star. What a waste of time...

If I 'd live forever...

...I wouldn't mind seeing movies like this. The plot is not special but at least the acting is very bad. When i say very bad, i mean like BAD. Knowing that o bomb have been implanted in your head would make you panic like hell, but no, that's not what is happening with one of our character. She's very chilled about that and acts like a bug injected one egg in her body and a short visit to a doctor would make this problem disappear. Oh, did I mentioned that she's hot? That didn't save her bad acting though.

The male protagonist is as bad at acting as the other character interprets, except maybe the actor in the senator's role (Danor Gerald) who's about to be assassinated. He is more natural than any other actor in this movie.

There're some fight scenes that are pretty good, but that's not a reason to spend more than an hour watching a movie that will bring you nothing new, nothing to think about and more propaganda about evil countries.

Unless you are very bored and you have absolutely nothing to do instead, don't watch this title. Do your shopping for the next month or year and also save some money.
