yet another generic awful comedy series on this season lineup. dropped in the middle of the pilot, 2/10. absolutely cliché in the worst way possible.
Saw most of it on cable the other night. A sad clone of Die Hard, with awful CGI graphics. Terrible movie, needlessly complicated plot.
I saw it this evening in a special perview.
Great wiking movie, great story and lots of action.
Must see.
This episode is going to leave you saying "What the frack?!"
Malcolm: And no offense none of you are particularly good actors.
Tell me that was not funny :-P
Dean is bad ass! Mark of Cain is doing good for him. Loved that he popped a bullet in that douche.
I like how they're trying to make the Sand Snakes more interesting (Rosabell Laurenti Sellers cof* cof*). Cersei, you´re almost there, walk the walk Queen Mother!
Dragon ball GT is not true now
OMG,yes.
Ruby Rose has to be one of the prettiest human beings ever.
Finally a classic Orphan Black episode again with hilarious clone swaps!
I. FREAKIN'. HATE. NORMAN. He's so disgusting.
Thea has the best line. "A bunch of superheroes hiding out at a farm house, I feel like I have seen that before in a movie."

While the whole Felicity story is getting more and more annoying, the most ridiculous thing in this episode was that ARGUS did not block the security details for their dead agent with the missing eye. Oh come on...
I hate Felicity's upset voice. She should have died lol. Now Thea will probably be killed by Malcolm and is on the tombstone. Meanwhile she's much more useful than Felicity.
Finally a new Gundam series without a whiny little emo protagonist!
I hope Darhk slaughters Felicity.
I hope Darhk destroys the world so that I don't feel like I need to keep watching this show
I hope Darhk slaughters Felicity.
The movie made me feel compassion for the missionaries, the villagers and even made me understand why a government would go to such lengths to "murder" an idea. Even though I believe that both sides are wrong, the government being the worst of it, doing to the extreme to stop indoctrination and the church trying to pass their believes as the only truth that, for me, is totally taking advantage of people who are in a almost complete state of despair.
But you cannot stop the feels, even if you don't believe, you can fully enjoy this movie.
Another episode full of unexpected twists and revelations. After being introduced last week to the Tardigrade ("Ripper") as a rampaging monster that will slice you up, I found myself quite delighted to discover that it's actually a cuddly creature who seems to be depressed. Michael figuring this out has warmed to to her a lot more, and I really like her being in science mode rather than "I'm-going-to-act-rashly-because-I'm-clever" mode. It's also our first hint that she does has some empathy once she sees how the Tardigrade is hurting. Her approach to learning about it was delightful and so in-keeping with what so many of us love about Trek.
I think it's time to address the characters on this show. There's a lot of talk in various forums about how they are not true to the spirit of what Star Trek has shown us before. That's just not true. People seem to be forgetting that it wasn't really until The Next Generation that Roddenberry imposed his rules about humans having overcome petty feelings like jealousy and animosity, with no conflict allowed between Starfleet crew members. And then people also seem to forget that the rule was disregarded more times than I can count, with all of the writers (correctly) pushing against it as much as they could. It was a noble concept but a terrible one for telling stories.
Lt. Stamets does seem to be overly critical and confrontational, but I find myself enjoying seeing a human being acting like a human being rather than some sanitised idea of what one should be. And this is certainly not a new concept within Trek if you remember any number of human scientists who appeared on the various shows before. Off the top of my head, in TNG Dr. Leah Brahms was a stone cold bitch to Geordi when she discovered how he was modifying her engine designs. If we go closer to the era of Discovery, then we have Dr. Richard Daystrom from TOS who was was crippled by feelings of resentment and endangered people's lives.
A bit more troublesome is (was) security chief Landry. She seemed to be downright hostile and condescending. Again, we have seen examples of other security officers acting this way across TNG, DS9, etc. but I was finding her a bit much to handle (and I had a similar issue with Rekha Sharma's performance on Battlestar Galactica), and I can't say I'm sorry to see her go. She was the most un-Trek like character on the show, almost malevolent.
The return of the Klingons to the main story had me a bit worried, as they were by far the worst thing about the opening episodes. I'm glad to say I was more impressed with them here, despite many of the fundamental issues still hovering in the background. I was immediately intrigued by the relationship between Voq and L'Rell which came through even though the makeup barely allows the actors to emote. I wish we had gotten a better look at the Birds of Prey, though, they were little more than blurry shapes.
If this episode revealed anything, it seems that Captain Lorca and Michael are going to end up severely at odds. Michael could see that the Tardigrade was in distress and is clearly not comfortable with the moral dilemma - but there's no way that Lorca is going to take that as any kind of consideration. Someone like Captain Picard would certainly not allow one creature's suffering at the expense of other's safety to continue, but Lorca is very different. Stamet's summary of him last episode as a "warmonger" is beginning to fit. I think that where the true Star Trek spirit is going to appear is with her desire to end the war through more peaceful means while pushing against Lorca's more bloodthirsty ways.
Also, finally we see why there's a gap in the ship's saucer and I LOVE it!
I don't think I've ever been this bored watching a show with so many sex scenes. But then again I've never seen Fifty Shades.
This is interminably slow and I watch it on 1.4x speed.
The film is pretty enjoyable if you think of it as a police-themed action movie. If you expect some deep analysis of a society divided by races, social and economic status you will most likely be disappointed.
The conclusion to the cliffhanger could not have been a surprise as a lot of us were already suspecting the parallel universe theory. And at least it explains certain things people were negative about. Now there are different things to be negative about and guess what - it´s OK. Everybody is entitled to his own opinion. Sure this is different and yes it is not TNG or DS9 or even VOY like. So what ? You don´t like it ? Fine - don´t watch.
I like where this is going and I am saying this as a decade long fan of Star Trek. Of course now they have to be aware with their writing a bit more because there are already established facts in place of the Mirror Universe. One thing I don´t like was how easy Burnham fell into her role and the guilt stricken face after killing that guy did not convince me. Oh, yes one thing I definately don´t like is all the sex. It does nothing for the story and seems to be just there to be there. But I for one am looking forward to what will developing out of this more than I was before the break.
Remember Star Trek has always been about tolerance.
Well, well, well. The plot thickens. The crazy-eyed lady appears to have powers similar to Jessica's. I need to know who she is and what her connection to IGH is.
That skull in the furnace was horrible, even though I was kind of expecting them to find remains of a person in there.
Give me Trish as Jessica's sidekick! That's what we deserve! I love how protective Jessica is of Trish, no matter how much it infuriates her. To me, this is the ultimate love story of this show. Nothing else comes close.
Is Griffin trying to steal Trish's story? I knew I didn't like him!
Jeri's speech was incredibly touching. ALS is the stuff of nightmares. I'm kind of glad to see her and Jess working together again. Chao and Benowitz won't know what hit them. Also, Foggy freaking Nelson! It's always great to see him.
Whoa. That OP is just pure FIRE. Damn. That got me so pumped up for the rest of the show. Persona games/shows always know how to make one flashy intro and that one was awesome. Loved the continuation of this episode as well. Things from the game were really well adapted, and I liked how naturally most things flowed. The battles with Personas are a little bit too video-game-esque but that's just nitpicking. I'm really excited to see first Palace all come together at the end.
Morgana sounds and acts awesome. Even Ryuji isn't too annoying so far. And Ann in that bikini... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
When you're sitting in front of your TV, rolling eyes, yelling at the screen "Come on, just die already!", then there is something fundamentally wrong with the pacing and presentation of an episode.
Finally he died!! Can't wait to see Madison's death as well.
People are changing sides faster than the human eye can see.
It's like an effing "wheel o' betrayal" …
