Ignore the Good Reviews
16 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
When they talk about room clearing, it's not tactically entering a structure and clear rooms of possible threats. It means this awful show clears living room of viewers.

All these good reviews talk about how this is a great espionage show. There's almost no espionage, but just one plant partying with the target. They do more domestic action than actual ones overseas. We all know that TV CIA does not do any domestic spying. All that is done by TV FBI.

The family life of the lead will give you a headache. Way too much domestic life trauma.

The problem of this show that it takes liberties of things that we all know in these types of shows. Like you don't shoot someone with a suicide vest. 99.9% of the time, they'll have a dead-man trigger.

Robotic and Razzie Worthy
25 June 2022
Carano cancels herself again with terrible and stiff acting. Reviewers are saying this is her comeback from the backlash of her insensitive comments. But this is merely a statement of what a horrible actor she is...

When they try to cancel Sean Penn, he wins Oscars. But Carano is worthy of winning the Razzies.

A Different Voyage
23 June 2022
I was getting TOS vibes. It felt nostalgic. The writers are differently pulling all the stops. I have to admit, I was getting impatient, but it paid off at the end.

Another "Star Trek" Win
9 June 2022
It's rare that I rate anything a "10." It means it's perfect. This is why I watch so many Star Trek shows after TNG, in hopes to get that perfect show. None came up until now. The episodes keeps getting better and better.

I Smiled... A Lot
3 June 2022
This episode surprised me. I smiled a lot. I mean, I laughed a few times. Aside from the very light side stories, Captain Pike delivered a memorable and quotable speech at the end.

Carrying on the tradition
13 May 2022
Star Trek has always been "woke." Some are commenting on that.

I'm looking for more adventures. Looking for more connections and discoveries. So far, it's seems to be in the right path.

So welcome. Enjoy this 5 year mission into more.

Yes! Finally. Disney+ has a winner
31 March 2022
We all feel like Steven with a V and want to be like Marc dealing with all the crap in the world.

Great action, and character development from the get go. Woo haaa! Yes!

Intense Performance; Biased Reviews Compares to Original
1 October 2021
Folks will always compare movies if it was a remake to original. Often giving a lower rating than the original.

I didn't see the original so I don't have a biased review.

This was intense.

Lego the Movie meets the Matrix
13 August 2021
It gave me that Master Builder meets Neo vibe. Down to songs, "Everything is Awesome" and Mariah's "Fantasy" playing constantly in the background.

Nevertheless, I really, really enjoyed this movie with my wife and son, along with 3 others in the theater. It felt good coming back to an actual theater. I always waited at the end of a movie's run until I go out watch and this kind of felt like that. But, this was the very first movie I watched on opening day. And this was a real good one to watch.

Three Seasons to Finally "Boldy Go..."
7 January 2021
Most of the reviews missed the entire plot for this season, or entire series. While most series establishes a premise for the how a show will go in a few episodes, it took Discovery 3 seasons. It's a launch of new "discoveries." I admit, I was impatient. I was bothered by seeing this is very different than all the other Star Treks. But it wasn't. It took time, heck it took over 700 hundred years, to finally establish its intent to discover.

Watched with Tears of Awe
18 December 2020
I saw the original in the movies when it was released in 1978. As a kid, I was awestruck. Now I watched this episode with my kid and I saw the look in his eyes was the same as mine when I first experienced SW.

By the way, he called it. I said, NOOOO!

A Legit Martial Artist - Bruce Lee and Danny Inosanto
27 November 2020
Diana Lee Inosanto is a practitioner of Jeet Kun Do and Filipino Martial Arts. I didn't recognize her until the credits but her skills with weapons made me realize she really knew her stuff. It's awesome to see Bruce Lee and Danny Inosanto represented by Ms. Inosanto. Awesome!

One of the Two Best Lawyers
11 August 2020
If you ever need a good civil lawyer, you can never go wrong with one of these two Mike or Harvey. But if need a good criminal lawyer, better call Saul.

Best Show to Binge Watch During Lockdown
20 May 2020
Rewatched it after it ended a few years back. I remembered the plot, I remembered that I enjoyed it. But I forgot the subtle nuances and it made it more enjoyable the second time around. Best watched during this lockdown.

A Worthy Continuation of a Trek
26 March 2020
There are many types of Star Trek fans. And many of those fans hate change. One thing for sure that we all love as trekkies is to "boldly go..."

"Picard" just does that. It continues the tradition of going to places we have yet to discover. Whether it be space, subspace or our conscience, "Picard" carries that tradition.

And the Emmy Goes to
24 December 2019
This episode will help get the entire series and cast some deserving Emmies.

They were able to put a lot of twists in one episode. I found myself cursing and cheering, laughing and crying.

Adults are bad, teens good.
18 October 2019
I get it. The teens are much more "woke" than the bumbling adults. I found the commercials in between scenes more entertaining than this.

Worked at the Prison
19 April 2019
After the Marine Corps and fresh from graduating at UC Davis, I was hired to work at the San Joaquin Juvenile Detention Center. At French Camp, near Stockton, the facility was in the middle of nowhere. When they gave me a tour, they told me that Cool Hand Luke was film there. I could see a VHS copy of the movie at their library. New inductees would be shown the film.

I never get tired of watching this movie. It's methodical, but well acted. After 25 years of leaving and finding other work, I still enjoy watching it.

What Did I Just Watch?
2 April 2019
This just didn't seem genuine. It's reaching. I found myself wanting it to end so I can check out the next episode and give it one more chance.

Great Performance by Nyong'o BUT...
26 March 2019
Ms Nyong'o performance was one of the best in her career. She shines. However, the performance of others in this mediocre pseudo-Hitchcock thriller falls short...way short.
