I just finished season 2 a few minutes ago, and I have to say this is one of the coolest, most fun, intriguing and beautiful Star Trek creations ever. I love all things Star Trek, from TOS to SNW, and this stands out amongst them. I wasn't to keen on a computer animated Star Trek show when it started, but I quickly grew to love it. The characters are interesting in their own right, the plot is engaging and unique, and the graphics are great. Despite being on Nickelodeon, this is not really a kids show; much of it would go way above (most of) their heads. There are also fun tie-ins to TNG and Voyager that kids likely haven't seen, and are definitely geared more toward adults. The main focus of the show is a ship called the Protostar, which is one of the coolest ST ships ever, harnessing the power of a star to achieve incredible speeds. If you are a Star Trek fan, and are having doubts about watching this: just give it a chance, and you will love it as I do.

Mad Max: Fury Road made me love this franchise more than the first 3 films, but Furiosa is not like any of them. It is not a story of escape, but a story of survival. I love that the actors in Fury Road were given the full screenplay to this movie before they started filming, giving them insight into the backstory we didn't even know. I think that helped FR be the gem that it is. Furiosa is a perfect prequel, bringing back the same actors from FR (except for Hugh Keays-Byrne RIP) who are alive at this time, showing places only mentioned in FR in glorious detail, and leading directly into FR. The action is amazing, outdoing FR in the scale of vehicular mayhem. And yes, the VFX are a bit odd, but sometimes seems deliberate, bc practical shots look like CGI. But there is no reason to dislike this movie, bc it isn't Fury Road. Nothing will ever top that. Instead just enjoy it for the amazing prequel that it is...

This has to be the most strange, original, funny episodes of any Star Trek series ever! To crossover a cartoon (I say cartoon and not animated series bc it is a comedy) and a live action show has been done, but never this well... The acting is perfect, the comedy reflects from the previously animated characters to the real ones; and it just makes for a very entertaining episode. The fact that it might not be a one-off and the consequences of this encounter may end up affecting the characters in both series, made it seem more impactful than simply doing this for the comedic value alone. I do love the fourth-wall comments about feeling 2-dimensional, etc., which imply that Boimler and Mariner know that they are supposed to be animated... It was definitely one of the best crossover episodes ever...and it was very fun to watch!

This was hands down the best Marvel movie in the last few years. They really tapped in to the emotion in this film...diving deep into Rocket's traumatic past. There was all the action and humor that we've come to expect from a Guardians movie, but they've gone a bit beyond with this one. It is all about family, and the lengths the characters will go to for them...which something not always found in the MCU. They really bring it full circle in this one; resolving some character arcs and promising some new ones in the future. Overall, it was very entertaining, and I recommend it for any Guardians fan or MCU fan!
