But I fully acknowledge it would probably come out terrible. Either be a CW level teen/young adult drama with a bunch of beautiful people whining how their lives are so hard because they are beautiful or it would be SG Universe 2.0 where its younger and hipper like the 200 episode parodied. My hope...

Think of it as an intimidation tactic. The Klingons set up these deep freeze fanatics, then tell the Federation, "Even if you defeat us, Klingon warriors will continue battling you for generations to come. You may as well surrender." They just didn't account for a future where they've made peace wi...

I spent the review wondering what part of the episode could have caused the meltdown in the description, until Chuck finally explains at the end... there was no part. Nothing stood out. That was the problem. Total mediocrity is probably the worst thing for any critic or reviewer to deal with. It lea...

I've lost track... are you still working full-time AND dealing with all this? Because this sounds like a full workload all by itself.

Yeah, the Hinterlands give a really terrible first impression for this game. I think I got past them eventually, but still ended up putting down the game because the exploration in this game felt miserable, hard to navigate and with virtually nothing of interest except combat, which wasn't varied en...

I think it would have been easy to resolve the contradiction between "they're sending someone to copy your amazing engine upgrades" and "so you're the one sabotaging my perfect engines" by making their exchanges a balanced point / counterpoint about the trade offs in his modifications. Yes, he got ...

Then again, just look at Zipang - an anime with essentially the same concept. You can draw whatever you want in an anime, so you're free to depict the explody part to your heart's content. But you still need a story worth telling, and despite taking its sweet time, it *also* peters out into an unsa...

I re-watched this one just a month or so ago, and I loved how the characters consider Arthur's story through not only continuity, remembering that Jack the Ripper once showed up to berate Delenn for a few hours, but also actual history, noting the gap between Old English and the modern form. Man, sc...

I don't mind much of the show, at least toward the beginning. I'd chalk up its ultimate flaws as being the same as Voyager's and Enterprise's: tremendous potential that the writers/executives jettison in order to stick with the routine (routine Trek in the case of VOY and ENT, routine modern sci-fi ...

Not only was this what got me into Star Trek at the age of seven, it was also one of the only movies that ever actually made me cry. (Optimus Prime dying in the Transformers movie came close, but not quite.) I also decided a few years ago that it's got my favorite sci-fi action as well, because not ...
