Re: Discovery Season 5

Episode 3 made me fall asleep twice, so I had to postpone watching it for later. Nothing much interesting happened here, though I did get a laugh when Tillie decided to have the rest of the Discovery bridge crew quickly present themselves to Rayner. I like to think that someone on the writing staff ...

Re: Discovery Season 5

Welp, there it is. The final season of Discovery. As usual, lots of bad editing, dumb dialogue, dumb plot, and we're only 2 episodes in. For once, they seem to give up the "universe threat plot", but considering that it's mentioned in the dialogue that the Progenitors' biotech is basically power of ...

Re: TNG: The Survivors

I completely forgot about the snare trap, it feels completely out of place, I don't know what they were thinking adding that in the episode. The story is quite neat, it's a nice change from the usual God-like beings in Trek, by making this one more humane as opposed to some generic megalomaniac Trek...

Re: Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers

Ah, one series I used to watch as a kid, but almost forgot everything about it. While it only aired in my country around late 90s/early 00s, I don't recall much about it other than "weird cyborg cowboys in space", though there were some parts that were straight out of a horror movie (apparently some...

The Expanse - Season 1

SFDebris Red playlist While I did hear about the show back when it first aired on the SyFy channel, I never around to watch it until it was cancelled and picked up by Amazon. While there are some flaws in the worldbuilding, overall the story is solid and I really like that it tried to do something ...

Re: Madam Web movie

This feels like a movie that should have come out in 2008 or 2010.

SNW: All Those Who Wander

https://sfdebris.com/videos/startrek/w109.php This is one video where I can't agree with Chuck on how the show handled the Gorn. -I don't buy the "it's the opposite of what VOY did to the Borg, so it's fine I guess" reason, because overcompensating for any flaws can sometimes be just as bad. It's li...

Re: For All Mankind

https://sfdebris.com/videos/fam/fams1e01.php I've heard a lot of people praising this show, but I never got around watching it. Seems like an interesting concept, though I imagine A LOT of butterflies are needed for the Soviets to quickly become space competent, and Korolev not dying would have to ...

Re: The Elysian Kingdom (SNW)

I find it amusing that M'Benga's daughter arc lasted barely 3 episodes, with her only appearing on screen for like 10 minutes, I think. Yet another example of "the writers didn't think this through", which is typical of NuTrek. :lol: Also, as a side note, the episode tried to make itself relevant by...
