I HATE this episode. Not because it's the worst episode - it's far from being as bad as, say, Outrageous Okona. No, I hate this episode because it seems to combine a lot of TNG's worst tics into one awful package. Moral handwringing that doesn't make any sense? Check. An unsympathetic culture presen...

Watching it - great as always. These videos are amazing. What I still don't understand though, is why the midi-chlorians were supposedly "necessary". Okay, so you need some mechanism that gives Qui Gon the evidence of Anakin's potential necessary to compel the Jedi Order to let him train Anakin. Tha...

A real solid TOS episode, one that would have been a disaster in TNG or VOY. Hell, in those shows, someone on the crew would be vociferously arguing that they should all just beam down and let themselves be disintegrated because of the Prime Directive (and the writers would expect us to take that ar...

I was in the process of saving up $400 to have Chuck review the video game Life is Strange when he stopped taking requests. That game is PERFECT for his reviewing style, both for where it shines and its faults.

My opinion of it dropped over the years mostly because, unlike the originals, they are really difficult to rewatch, and I don't thi...

I'm not gonna sit through a whole "Lucas turned the Dark Side by making the Prequels" narrative. OK. If I ever see one, I'll be sure to let you know. :D But seriously, when I eventually do the prequels, I plan to continue doing what I am, which is to try to present an honest assessment of the man a...

This was king of the hill for a long time by the simple fact it acknowledged female sexuality at all. "Good girls don't want sex. They don't kiss. THEY DON'T EVEN HOLD HANDS! IT'S THE PUREST FORM OF LOVE!" I'm a heterosexual Asian male, part of a group whose capacity for sexuality has long been bar...

I checked out the Anime News Network and Yuri Nation reviews of this and none of them mention the rape or abuse . To borrow a phrase from Chuck, that's like writing a biography of Nixon and leaving out Watergate. I'm still left confused and profoundly disturbed at how many people think this was cut...
