For me the casting isn't the issue, it's the writing (i.e., what they've done with the cast). Everyone is rather bland, especially Addison and Ian. Yes, Ian, the quintessential tech-geek-with-a-quirk trope, but here relatively mild regardless of whatever eye-makeup or funky sports coat they put...

As a casual fan I would've literally never questioned Seven as a Starship captain if not for this thread. I think she's more than qualified. And she did work under a chain of command for some time with Janeway so it's not like she's unfamiliar with the protocols. Her experience counts probably...

ELVIS! Great movie! Probably my favorite of the recent musical bio pics (Respect, Rocket Man, Bohemian Rhapsody), and I say that as someone who doesn't consider himself a fan per se (50s oldies were never by thing).

The production timeline was extended and interrupted multiple times due to the pandemic and Jeff Bridges battling cancer and covid. Some scenes cut from season 1 will serve to open season 2. [linked article contains s.1 spoilers]...

Just to highlight a few things that I'm enjoying that might not be on a lot of folks' radar: I just finished Paper Girls and started A League of Their Own on Prime. I liked Paper Girls, but two episodes into League, it's a bit soapier than I was expecting. I heard it gets better. Ten Percent...

It almost sounds like you never watched season 3. Yes, season 4 did drop the viewer into a slightly different world and advanced time line, but it's not a total jump from the Westworld theme park-focused seasons.

Well, she's Illyrian and that's what they do. They are species that regularly practice genetic modification. But worse, as the adage goes, "it's not the crime, it's the cover up." She lied to Starfleet about being a genetically altered Illyrian.

I'm not as versed in TOS or canon as many are here, so I was really confused in the finale (great episode overall, btw) about this 100 years of war (or peace?) with the Romulans. When Pike was trying to negotiate with the Romulan commander to come to a peaceful resolution, the commander talked...

My only gripe about this series is anything having to do with the Mrs. Baldwin/Gordo Jr tryst. There's a s.2 recap on the service where some of the cast members seem to share my feelings about it (Eww!)

Watching something like this and Dark Winds makes it even less likely I'll get to some of the other network drek piling up on my DVR since early spring.

More correctly, Jesse James Keitel was designated male at birth. From GLAAD Media Reference Guide: How to describe the fact that someone is transgender. Transgender should always be used as an adjective. For example, "Marisol is a transgender woman." If your audience needs clarification about...

Not really. The ending of Outer Range raises more questions than resolves, adding to the frustration. Just not enough payoff IMO.

I started bingeing Night Sky last week, though I heard some complaints that it was slow. It roughly has a similar premise as Outer Range (mysterious secret portal-type thingy on someone's property). It's so much better than Outer Range. Once you get past the first couple of episodes (which are a...

That's what the "Skip Intro" button is for. They know most people use it, so why even try anymore?

And not just any child. I got the sense the child chosen was extra special in some way, like finding the next Dalai Lama. We were never given a sense of what made this child so special unless it was his prodigy-like intelligence (or was that common among children of this highly technologically...

I definitely felt like I've seen this story before, but I could probably say that about 90+% of the sci-fi I watch. It was well done and I loved the planet's "geography" if you can call it that. Reminded me of Bioshock Infinite (video game). But I totally saw it coming with all the secrecy about...

I was more curious to see what this was about than to start the new season of The Boys. Through three episodes I'm hooked. Yes, the first episode was a bit of a slow burn, but it really picks up from there once the show zooms out to incorporate new characters.

Vivian Lyra Blair (Leia) is a great little actress, one of the few bright spots in this otherwise uneven series. But then again, I like precocious kids. I'd much rather watch kids that are portrayed as too smart for their age than adults who are too stupid.

I figured this episode would turn it down a notch after the intensity of the Gorn episode, but I didn't expect something this entertaining. I loved the way it developed some of the main characters' personalities and backstories while also incorporating the high-stakes element of the...

I squeezed in part of one episode last night (the desert one) and was blown away by the visuals. I can't help but wonder, though, how much of the depicted behaviors are purely speculative, projecting current animal kingdom behaviors on the dinosaurs. The show doesn't really go into explaining...

I have Hulu currently ($1/mo BF deal) and decided to finally give Orville a shot. The trailers for the first season didn't appeal to me when it first aired—coupled with the certainty that if it was any good, Fox would immediately cancel it. But I've since heard a lot of good things about the...

I thought the series lived up to the promise of the first two episodes. It was solid, well-produced, fun ride. With the Madrigal characters and Soren's world, they are obviously setting up for future storylines. I hear a lot of hardcore Halo fans are still losing their minds over this. Video...

It got revisited in season 2 of Lower Decks, albeit with one of that series main characters.

Most "episodic" shows these days have ongoing character arcs that span the season if not multiple seasons, while the episodic aspect concerns the serial killer, murder trial, medical emergency, etc. of the week. I don't see how it is in any way problematic that all Una-related matters weren't...
