Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997)
A professor in the library...
Seeing the series again, I noticed that the Englishman, Professor Giles, must really hate being a librarian. Every scene in the library show books in disarray on the shelves. If he spends so much time in the library with little to do, he sure isn't doing his job!
Victoria (2016)
A review from a Yank
At this time, I have seen two seasons of the three that are available at this time. I've enjoyed the series so far, but I must take exception to the apparent senselessness of many historical error. I think that if I, a yank, can notice the unneeded and glaring errors, then my English cousins but be doubly annoyed. For example, when the Queen goes to Paris it is indeed a monumental occurrence, but why have it occur in the film in the 1840's, which is almost 10 years prior to the actual event? This is ludicrous and unnecessary.
I can understand some of the blending of people and event for the sake of telling an overall story, but the filmmakers seem to be unaware of their history.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Inquisition (1998)
Half of a Story Arc?
When you watch "Inquisition" is is easy to label, categorize it as another recurring episode that extends back to TOS. The theme of "ends justify the means" is taken to the point that Captain Sisko decides to plot with Dr Basir in the take-down of those responsible for flouting the vaunted Federation Ideals of righteousness.
It is in the very next episode, "In the Pale Moon Light", that this theme is further explored and we are subjected to the greatest episode ever!
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In the Pale Moonlight (1998)
Best Star Trek Ever
Although In the Pale Moon Light" has been acclaimed as one of the best episodes in all of Star Trek, it is better still if you watch the previous episode, "Inquisition", first. The juxtaposition of these two great episodes are opposing as well as similar.
The main theme of both are: the ends justify the means. However, in "Inquisition" Captain Sisko agrees that such a concept is contrary to the vaunted Federation's ideals. Is it not interesting that in the very next episode he uses the same to justify his own lying and cheating to accomplish the greater good!
These two episodes show a captain that is truly human.
