Trakt (on their Discover page) should list this as Star Trek Universe and not Star Trek Timeline. It's not a timeline list.Original comment before realizing that Trakt didn't author the list themselves:

@stryjewski The list page header clearly shows my profile summary, but I accept that you likely scrolled right past the header (as I often do) to get to the content. I don't think that believing the list to be site-created excuses the personal attack (the people behind this site are individuals, too, after all)—but apology accepted.
FWIW I've edited the list description to reflect that it's strictly a release-order list. I can't change how Trakt's "Discover" page displays the list, though, sadly. I had no say in its featured status—just found out it was featured one day when suddenly I started getting likes on the list at an alarming rate! :)
This is an adolescent high school soap dressed up as a wannabe SciFi. Maybe it's just trying to find its legs, but I very much doubt it.
The whole thing looks like it was developed on a shoe string budget and then someone spent half of it on lunch.
I only rolled my eyes several times this episode.

I remain hopeful. Stargate Universe seemed like a soap opera too with all the interpersonal drama at first, but it grew out of that.
Too late to avoid cancelation, but it did grow out of that.

Pressing onward with previously planned story beats after Josh's actor left the show was a questionable choice.
This movie is just a shortened down version of season 1. There won't be anything new that you haven't already seen. I guess it would be good for quickly summarizing season 1 before starting season 2.

In 2024, with season 3 of the series starting, a refresher is exactly what I'm using this and the season 2 summary movie for. That's pretty much the best use for them, getting reacquainted with a franchise in less time than it would take to re-watch the whole thing.

@stryjewski I never claimed the list was ordered by in-universe chronology. That said, 183 people disagree with you and think the list is pretty great. Maybe you just need to search for lists with "star trek timeline"? https://trakt.tv/users/ruben_vw_/lists/star-trek-timeline (@justin this URL auto-links incorrectly without backticks because of the underscores)
Hey! Is this list in the order that I have to see? All produced tv shows are here?

All the Trek series and movies that have been released are here, yes, ranked by production order.
Season 2 (Astral Ocean) - a bad sequel and, taken standalone, a bad show. Awful directing, annoying one-dimensional characters, a messy, convoluted plot. Overall, just bad.
Even if you liked E7, I wouldn't recommend this.loading replies
Shouldn't this rating and review be attached to season 2 specifically?
Watched this episode for the two minutes at the beginning featuring Sasha Craig, AKA Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue's yellow ranger.
Not the worst use of an hour, but I could have used another scene or two with her, especially had it been used as a bookend.

>watching anything just because of a short scene with an actor you like
GREAT use of time. :P
@donxy Netflix has since dropped the streaming availability. It's DVD-only now. :/
This episode has some great moments but also highlights some of the worst things of this series. Basic internal logic is forgotten, it goes from one thing to another not resolving the first thing. too many different ideas are crammed in without resolving them giving little room to breathe. lacklustre episode that had more potential. this must have been known as it is evident audio is added after the live recording (characters speak without moving lips) to help explain. overall very amateur hour.

@aztele WRT your other comments on this episode, posted just a few minutes apart, you can edit comments and [spoiler]spoiler-tag[/spoiler] things inline. (I frequently do an edit or two in the minutes following publish, because I invariably forget something the first time.)
The Season 5 episodes list it's all wrong!!!
"We Love You to DeAth" it'a a special! It's not the 5x13! "How the 'A' Stole Christmas" it's the real 5x13 and not the 5x14! And finally "Through a Glass, Darkly" it's the unaired 5x14 episode and not the 5x13"!
Please fix it!loading replies
@gigaberry This is just a note from the future, to say that TVDB's mods are still just as obnoxious, stubborn, and logic-resistant as they were back in 2015.
Well, there is the mediocre to bad acting, the not very ambitious writing. And than there is Avery Brooks whose portrayal of Hawk made this worth watching for me. That and the fact that I like those kind of characters. The loner with the mysterious past.
You will also recognize a lot of familiar faces playing roles on this show. A lot of whom have long become stars in there own right. One thing I can never get into my head watching shows from that period: did people really wore such ridiculous clothes. I do remember shoulder pads but those look like a quarterbacks. Maybe I'm just blocking it out.loading replies
@finfan I'm just curious, where did you find/watch this show? I just found out about it, but it looks like my only option is to buy the home video release or try to get it from my local library.

@finfan I went and found Becker "somewhere in the depths of the internet" myself, because it has both Ted Danson and Terry Farrell, so I'm not above watching shows (at least the first few episodes or first season) just because of cast connections!
Streaming is indeed not an option at all, but for a short series like this one it might actually be practical to just find it at the library and dedicate a week or two of TV watching to just the one show. Thank you for your considered opinion on whether the show is worth buying! I think I'll just keep my eyes open for now, and maybe start looking more actively in a few weeks (after I return from an upcoming trip abroad).
A decent 90s sitcom that stayed on the air too long. The show goes downhill as it goes along and it takes a steep decline when they have to replace Cody.

@justin All I hear is "This is an historical artifact and we shouldn't delete it" :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Awful, unfunny, sexist nonsense. Poorly drawn stereotypes inhabit a world of dark farce. Overtones of rape, incest, and anti-feminism abound. Just do yourself a favour and watch something else. The only thing this movie gets any points for is the entertaining character of the female psychiatrist, but by the end of the film, her character has fallen apart, as even she joins Ted's harem, until he gets too frisky and tries to rape her. I hated this movie, and I bet you will, too.

All the moral complexity and historical sensitivity of a Disney sequel.
At least Judi Dench is brilliant. As usual.

It's (almost literally) spelled out at the very beginning of the ending credits. Watch the video carefully.
very promising start. Looking forward to the next ep.

"start"? This is the season finale, lol.
2 hours premier of session 3 was postponed because of the shooting in Orlando. My prayers to the families.
Hope with have soon a new premiere date.loading replies
Easy to see why it was postponed, now that I've watched the episode. Too much too soon for the original airdate.

There's a lot of implied drama, but the screen time is spent mostly on obnoxious guy from other school calling Harada "princess" constantly. Meh. Put us inside Gou's head, ffs!

Mockingjay Part 2's biggest mistake is being completely faithful to the book, considering that it is the worst one of the trilogy. They had the chance to make the story better but chose to stick to what they had. Being the final chapter of the story, it has emotional bits, but miserably (and unfortunately) fails to sell them, rushing the scenes which we were supposed to remember the most. However, its political and action turmoils are its best parts and were beautifully developed. After all, piecing the four movies together, it remains a good story.

In fairness, I'd bet that Suzanne Collins had creative power over the screenplay and vetoed any rewrite of the ending (or would have), even though the ending is super cringe-y. Just cutting the time skip into the future would have made it better. And an open ending might have been just what the series needed, considering that there's the potential for a fifth film, according to Jon Feltheimer (Lionsgate CEO). But we're stuck with this.

— @aag's review (https://trakt.tv/comments/62697, and we need proper internal link markup on Trakt!)Seriously. The big dramatic moments are unbelievably rushed—there's no time to dig into them. There's too much focus on bad CGI and not enough on characters. Basically every character is 2D at best, except maybe Katniss and Peeta. But that's also due to sticking true to the book. None of the characters in the books were particularly well fleshed out, either, as I recall (from reading them 3 ½ years ago).
I also found the story very predictable. Obviously there's some amount of subconscious influence from having read the books, but it's also just absolutely clear when the big surprises/twists are going to happen, and what they'll be. They end up not being surprising at all. (Not to belabor the point, but the book had this problem too.)
My other big issue—which applies to the whole series—is that we barely see anything that happens away from Katniss. I know it's quite common in YA novels to present a limited first-person perspective from the protagonist's point of view, but in a big political saga like this I feel like that severely limits the storytelling.

@aag "romance bullsh*t" is right. YA novel or not, that was much too heavily emphasized. (Now that you fixed it I can edit the brackets out of my quote :D)
