Star Trek: Discovery: Erigah (2024)
Can one get court martialed for stupidity?
If so, N'aan and her security detail, as well as the security chief of the Discovery should be put on trial! How stupid can they be you ask? Let me tell: they put TWO resourceful criminals not into the brig, but into sickbay. They secure them with just one single forcefield, which they have to deactivate every few minutes for the Doc to treat Lak. A forcefield that is filled with icy gases. What about a second forcefield around that inner one? Like an airlock? How about - I don't know - locking the friggin sickbay doors, so noone can simply run out?
And when the find Mol, a ruthless murderer that threatens a crew member with a phaser, why the heck does Booker talk her down when N'aan has a clear field of fire?
Why doesn't the Federation know about Reyner's world being subjected by the Breen? Don't they do background checks on their CAPTAINS!?!?
ARGH!!!
Star Trek: Discovery: Face the Strange (2024)
This season could have been over last week
On the pro side of this episode: the writer himself admits, that Michael's carreer is more than unlikely.
On the cons: I got remembered by season 1 Michael, why I started to dislike Michael in the first place. She's a no one, has nothing to say, yet decides what's best for all and the dump crew is simply following her.
Plus: this season arc could have been over last week. Discovery found the second clue before all others. Great. If that tech is so dangerous, destroy the damn clue! Riddle cannot be solved, tech remains lost. The end. But no! We must give our semi intelligent bad guys every friggin chance to get to the clues and the device. Urgh!
Star Trek: Discovery: Under the Twin Moons (2024)
Much ado about nothing
It could be a nice episode. It has action, it's not too stupid, but... It has - once again - far too much talk about feelings, espeiin the absolutely wrong moments.
The scene on the burrial side could have been entertaining, but thanks to all the BS in previous seasons, I don't feel any tension when Michael and Saru are in grave danger, because - if we leave out the obvious, that they are two main characters & they didn't know it was their final season when this episode was written, I really don't care about any of those characters. I absolutely do not care, what happens to any of them. Pity.
Station 19: For Whom the Bell Tolls (2019)
Pleeeeaaaseeee, do some research on what EMTs do!
This episode is a good one.
But what I have to say is that, not only in this episode, but in most of the series, the EMS part is just terribly researched. The medical part is mostly correct, but the firefighters in this show are supposed to be EMTs only. They are trained for basic life support. They are there to transport mildly sick people to the hospital. For more complex things, there's the praramedics from Medic One. And even those do not operate (as in what a surgeon does in the OR) in the street.
This is a terribly unrealistic thing which bothers me - being a paramedic - very much.
But that's a general thing in the Grey's Anatomy shows, where surgeons perfom operations (as they should) and treat heart attacks (what they should not) and do actually everything.
I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006)
If you liked the first two, don't watch this one!
So here it is. Finally. "I'll Always Know What You DiD Last Summer". A lot of people were eager to see this movie, BUT: It's not an "I Know..."-film.
Okay, it's got the fisherman. And that's it. it is in absolutely no context to the first two parts, except for the fisherman and the title. Well, actually, just the title.
I'm wondering if this is what was going on in the production-office: Producer 1: "Hey, how do we get people to watch our movie?" Producer 2: "I've got an idea. People liked the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'-Movies. Let's make a third." Producer 1: "Hey, good idea. But we won't get Jennifer Love-Hewitt or Freddy Prince Jr. or anyone else from the first two parts." Producer 2: "Doesn't matter. We'll just take the title and let the fisherman kill some other kids, who are not from South Port and who didn't throw Ben Willis into the ocean." Producer 1: "But why would he do that?" Producer 2: "Doesn't matter, they'll have to watch the movie before they can realize that it's crap!" Producer 1: "Cool!"
