I'm rating this show very high - because I frankly enjoyed it - despite the very political themes used.
The show touches on some very controversial issues - namely immigration and abortion.
It tends to heavy skew and dramatize one side of the whole debate.
All that aside - very touching story - this whole series is just a joy to watch.
Its essentially a "love story", the choice between the man she loves or her sister.
Watch it. Enjoy :)
Tucker Carlson Jokes. - ok.
This whole episode, while funny - I totally laughed.
Just goes to show, how much certain networks absolutely hate fox.
Anyways, try to enjoy the episode.
Ok!
Shaping up to be a really good series.
I'm not looking to nitpick - Not really looking for historical inaccuracies.
I predict there will be two types of opinions on this show. Those who enjoy it for what it is, and those who will find every little detail wrong and nitpick. I strive to be the first, and enjoy it for the entertainment that it is.
All Right! Now this is starting to feel like I'm watching a Star Trek.
Little bit of action finally starts happening.
The previous 4 episodes were basically all back story and setup. Now things are finally starting to happen.
Love the kick ass Number 5, she always makes the show much better.
If the show can keep up this momentum its going to have a good run.
All I could think was, "God I'm itchy", "Don't Scratch, Don't Scratch"... "How can he not pick at that"
Tho, this whole "pollution" push in Dr. Who is frankly woke nonsense & pandering to a crowd of extremists. Keep your nonsense out of our shows. I can stomach one or two such episodes. Fine. You've made your point, you've preached your message. But if the whole show becomes an ode to wokeness I'm out, and frankly the ratings are going to plummet and the show is going to tank. People watch these shows to escape the real world, not to be lectured at. If you don't take these words to heart your going to destroy Dr. Who.
I just started watching this show. So far the story while interesting and predictable. Falls a bit flat, I’m watch it simply out of boredom.
Let’s face it tho, if it wasn’t for a great cast and good looking individuals. There would be less people watching.
Similarly thoughts when I watched it. The whole series just falls flat on its face.
I watched the first couple episodes. I'm surprisingly actually enjoying it. I have to watch it with English subs unfortunately for me I don't understand Norwegian. So that personally takes away from the enjoyment of the show having to read everything. But I am trying to not let that be a factor in influencing if I like the show or not. I was expecting the show on first glance to be English, and was a bit disappointed it wasn't. However, I do think it has interesting potential as a series. As a story line its intriguing. In other words. I'm trying to give it a chance. I wonder if there is a dubbed version around.
On a side note, the location it was filmed was absolutely stunning and beautiful.
The whole climate spin on things turns me off, comes off a a bit preachy. But that's a personal reaction to it, trying not to let it affect my enjoyment of the series.
Its very disappointing that shows I enjoy stoop to throwing political jabs at fox. Funny yes - I actually laughed. But it shows the bias of the writers. Leave politics out of it, stick to writing a good story. We don't care to be lectured on your political beliefs - nor your hatred of fox news. I am watching this show to escape the politics of everyday life. So because of that it automatically gets a lower rating from me.
Other than that. I enjoyed the episode.
Slow episode.
It was basically more backstory, and setup. A few introductions to characters and general maneuvering of rolls to set the stage. There wasn't really anything that stood out and wow'ed me in this episode. Overall this episode was important because of its setting of the stage. I enjoyed watching it.
I think the whole series has a lot of potential. From what I can tell its my kind of star trek. I'd like to see more tech and discovery and adventure. As exploration and 'the unknown' are aspects of star trek that make it star trek.
Anyways, Good episode. No real action, just a lot of talking and exploration of characters.
The setting up of the "good" and "bad" guys. - So for this alone - watch the episode so you know what's going on in the future.
Enjoy :)
Oh, The Rhyming... Seriously... The Rhyming!
Such a great episode!
Love the surprise appearance of an old face. Hope to see more of jack in the future.
Interesting twist. - The potential for some new cool lore.
Bit of criticism of the season, not the individual episode.
Something I've noticed in this season. Each episode is trying to cram a lot of information into a short run time. There's not 'time' ironically to explore and 'have fun' because there's not enough episodes in the season. It's just all too condensed. In my opinion it needs to be spread out, make more episodes, play with the characters a bit. - The whole cast of this doctor seems to be 'rammed down our throat' if you understand what I mean. We are just supposed to like them all, and I do. But there's no reason why. There's something off, and I just can't put my finger on it apart from the condensed episodes. If you understands what I mean and can shed some further insight into 'what feels off' about this whole season. Let me know. - I'm scratching my head trying to figure it out.
Woah! Expectations Exceed!
I came into this, with very low expectations. The previous star-treks are a tough act to follow. Yet, this first episode surprised me. It set the stage for some great storytelling. Opening up a whole new chapter in star trek's already diverse universe.
This episode was rightly titled Remembrance, it set the stage for what I hope to be some exciting and amazing stories. It showed some really cool tech, some really cool places. If the show can keep going with this and even greater enthusiasm, we are in for one hell of an amazing show.
The one worry I have is Patrick Stewart, he is an amazing actor that's driving these stories. The whole existence of the show revolves around him, and consequently his health. The question I find myself asking is, does he have it in him? He is one hell of an amazing actor. Yet, the show is missing chemistry - desperately trying to leverage past relationships to build relevance. Time will tell if this works, I suspect there is hidden potential yet to be realized in some of the new actors. They're just "no name" actors standing in stark contrast to a legend, Patrick Stewart.
I'm definitely going to be following this show. There is definitely some potential here. So, I'm going to sit back - and try not to be too harsh and critical. I want to take it in for what it is.
Enjoy it - while it lasts. Lets hope 5+ seasons.
I blasted last weeks episode pretty badly. This week was a complete 180. Probably one of the best episodes of Dr. Who. I have seen in ages. I love Tesla. I've been to the falls. So many great things about this episode. The "bad guy" threat was a bit weird. I suppose they needed some kind of protagonist tho. Best joke was when he called them AC/DC, and told them to stop arguing. So good. If you haven't watched it yet. I highly recommend you do. If your at all like me, and love to tinker with electronics and read the history of inventors, you will love this episode.
So far one of the best new shows around.
Bam!
The Season Premier is off to a great start!
After the loss of the character at the end of season 4, I was not sure how it would be the same. - Yet I think it was the right decision, to keep the show fresh and moving. This episode didn't disappoint. There is new challenges for our group to work out. New Magic in the air. New Quests to be solved.
The world and story has so much potential, so many stories that could be told. Hopefully the whole of season 5 doesn't become a eulogy to our lost character. - Yet the pain of loss is obviously driving the remaining. Its going to be interesting to see where it goes from here.
Very disappointed in this episode. Usually Dr. Who, is great. This one was a non stop lecture on climate change. Someone is really pushing the climate change cult religion these days. Trying to scare people into supporting it. I have a feeling someone got paid an awful lot of money to include this theme in Dr. Who. Makes you wonder, just who's trying to manipulate things - and just what exactly do they gain from it.
Probably the absolute WORST episode of Dr. Who, ever made. Its sad, the new doctor has so much potential - if not for terrible, terrible scripts.
Ok, so I've been waiting for this show since I heard about it.
Well worth the wait!
The episodes are way shorter than I was hoping for, lets hope for multiple seasons for years to come.
The first episode was barely a taste of what's to come.
I actually like the fact that its not all out at once to binge watch. This lets me watch each episode as it comes out and savor it until the next one.
All in all, this series is shaping up into being quality entertainment that I suspect is going to bring me hours of enjoyment.
It reminds me of 'firefly' and that gritty space cowboy feel to it, set in the star wars universe.
Good job Disney - Its a huge job to live up to the "Star Wars" name, to produce a show that's worthy of carrying on the name, is a tall order. If what I have seen so far, quality acting, amazing story, attention to details, holds true for the rest of the run of this series. Its going to be a hit - and a well deserved one.
The creative team and workers deserve a round of applause for a job well done. - Keep up the good work Disney.
Good first episode.
Be interesting to see where this show goes.
I think the white vs black aspect of the show. Is going to inflame an already tense situation in the world. While its these kinds of themes that make a show good, it also serves to stir up peoples anger.
I think the show has a LOT of potential.
The world building and tech is what interests me. The obvious political bias of the writers just pissed me off.
