    Fun Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)

    I think that with her character they were trying to recreate that antagonistic/friendly relationship of Spock/McCoy with her and Data. The problem was that in her very first episode, the way she was written just came across as disrespectful of Data. And given how popular a character Data was by...

    Review Series 11 (2018)

    I'd be quite happy with that casting choice. But since it's been reported by The Mirror I'll wait for someone a little more reputable to report it before I believe it.

    Review The Munsters (1964)

    I'm not convinced that this isn't one of those shows that was just "right for the times". I have a suspicion that it won't catch people's imaginations in this era.

    Review The IT Crowd

    My 12 year old son started watching this on Netflix for some reason and yesterday he forced me to sit down and watch the first couple of episodes with him again. It's hilarious. I don't know how I've never managed to see it before.

    Review The Defenders (2017)

    I'm torn between wanting to watch it right now and waiting for my son, who's just started season 2 of Daredevil (and I'm rewatching with him).

    Fun Star Trek: Enterprise

    I must say I did enjoy S2E15 Cease Fire. Probably helped by guest starring two of my favourite ST regular guests, the always awesome (and usually alien) Jeffrey Combs and the gorgeous (also alien) Suzie Plakson. The developing relations between Humans, Andorians, and Vulcans really does seem...

    Fun Star Trek: Enterprise

    Haven't started on the 2nd season yet but its high on my "must watch" list. At the moment I'm trying to play catch up on Game of Thrones because my niece is going insane from needing to talk to someone about it and all her family and friends are behind (I've been her sole outlet over the last...

    Fun Star Trek: Enterprise

    I know what you mean. Ever since I had kids any storyline where kids get hurt in anyway pretty much gets me blubbing. I loved season 1 of Broadchurch but I really struggled with what happened.

    Fun Star Trek: Enterprise

    Yeah, given the Vulcan's clear resistance to change demonstrated in this series, it's hard to believe that it was fully accepted as a normal Vulcan attribute just a few decades later in the original series. Reed is just depressing, Archer is arrogant and downright rude at times, T'Pol comes...

    Fun Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

    I never had an issue with the original change in appearance. I was happy with the understanding that the way Klingons appeared in the first movie was intended to be viewed as the way they had always appeared but were restricted by makeup limitations at the time the original series was filmed. My...

    Fun Star Trek: The Original Series

    Mostly I agree with him, but the fact that this is coming from PETA makes me want to go and swim with dolphins just to spite them.

    Spoilers Game of Thrones (2011)

    It is possible for a castrated man to still feel some sexual desire and even to get an erection and have sex. It's rare because the loss of testosterone significantly reduces the sex drive but it's not unheard of.

    Review Twice Upon a Time (2017)

    I'm really looking forward to this episode

    Fun Star Trek: Enterprise

    Season 2 espisode 14 "Stigma" A fairly heavy handed AIDS allegory - or at least that's how I saw it. I think I'm starting to figure out what my main issue is with this show. I just don't care about any of the characters. Even with Voyager, which was fairly poorly written, I had an attachment to...

    Review The Orville (2017)

    Based on everything I've heard and seen so far Orville is on my "much watch" list. Discovery is on my "maybe check out a couple of episodes and see" list.

    Spoilers Game of Thrones (2011)

    I'm still playing catch up in season 5 and not overly motivated. Having read the books, it seems that the quality of the show has reduced as they move further away from the source material.

    Review Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)

    Exactly. What they're talking about is more of an "interquel". The story of a mad man and his followers imprisoned on a world and waiting to be accidentally rediscovered so they can escape and kill more people. I'm picturing lots of scenes of them sitting around looking out at the inhospitable...

    Review Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)

    While I'd assert that most prequels are completely unnecessary, this one would make most other prequels seem worthwhile in comparison.
