Re: Reviews that Chuck did that no longer exist.
I didn't watch the former but I definitely watched the latter at some point, I remember him joking about being disgusted by the steamy massage scene between Kira and Odo. That scene happens in "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River," which Chuck has reviewed and includes the disgusted reaction. The...

Re: Star Trek (DS9): The Quickening
The only thing that disappointed me about the review was that Chuck did not relate it to the morphogenic virus plot at the end of the series - really, the Dominion were given a taste of their own medicine. It also came right after "To the Death" which is probably when the audience's sympathy for th...

Re: Star Trek (DS9): The Quickening
This is the first review I've ever been disappointed in. I disagree with the final rating of plenty of episodes but this bothered me because there was a lot of really fascinating discussion left on the table. Like I really would have liked more than one sentence about the AIDS allegory or Star Trek'...

Re: Star Trek (DS9): Crossover
Fiction with parallel universes that mirror each other so closely tends to imply a certain level of predestination. So much so it bothers me when things aren't alike. Why is there no Jake or Molly in the Mirror U? How can they mirror each other so closely, with everyone else being conceived at exact...

Re: Discovery Question
Sadly in the US no. Some of my friends use a VPN to watch the British version of Netflix, but pretty sure that doesn't meet the legal requirement. Maybe have a Canadian friend tape it for you since it's on TV there? Barring that, you can wait until the season's almost over, then sign up for a free t...

Re: Star Trek (Dis): Battle at the Binary Stars
I love the photoshops of DSC Klingons with hair. Even as someone who likes the show I was like "Why did they redesign the Klingons so dramatically?!" and then the first time I saw those I realized they didn't and I was stunned by how much of a difference something so simple made on their appearance,...

Re: Star Trek TNG: Firstborn
The writers treated Alexander mostly like a burden, one to be gotten rid of as the soonest opportunity. Seeing him interact with Jake and Nog would have been interesting. Potentially seeing Alexander grow up as more of a bridge would have been interesting, especially as Worf would never think to do...

Re: Bright (2017) - A.K.A. ORC COPS, ORC COPS!
Instead, history is the same because.....who cares, it just is. Yes. It just is. That's how fiction works. The person who writes it gets to say what the setting is, and the audience doesn't. Originally I was going to say essentially what Antiboyscout said. Instead I'm going to elaborate. The writer...

Re: Bright (2017) - A.K.A. ORC COPS, ORC COPS!
I'm with Geek Girl, this film felt a bit lazy with how little difference there was between our world and there's. Will Smith making a Shrek joke really took me out of the movie and reminded me that they weren't really going for a well thought out world. Well, it's about the real world with magic no...
