Besides the bit (too) silly song, this episode was a lot of fun. Not too serious, not too high stakes and lots of energy. Perfect for an introduction episode.
Minus points for killing off Ellen Wong in the first episode.
What a snorefest was this. After a promising 1st episode, the remaining 5 episodes were rushed, poorly written and generally underwhelming. A little better than the whole Moon Knight failure, but with much less interesting characters. I don't expect a WandaVision quality in every show, but let's just hope they manage to get at least back to the level of Loki, Hawkeye or Falcon a/t Winter Soldier.
They are setting the bar high with the events happening at the end of this episode, although a lot of information is still withheld. Hopefully this will result in a fantastic season, and not a massive clusterf. 7 episodes for a whole new balance of power is certainly short, although this might flow over in the 6th and final season
ps. I hope Amos got off earth in time.
This is the first episode I personally felt a bit disappointed about. It felt not very 'amazing', but rather forced instead. Maybe there was too much backstory to cover for a 1 hour episode.
I feel kinda cheated from that fake out with Picard his death. I don't know why the writers tried to put several high emotional stakes into 1 episode, with several of them feeling unneeded, while neglecting many loose threads.
Overall, this show is very good, but after this episode I have a feeling some of the writers have difficulty with creating overall story structure. With (high budget) series being more and more like movies these days (and this series definitely having the allure of one) I also expect more from the writers to treat the stories and characters with more consistency, and not cram too many different stories to follow or (fake) drama into a show. They chose for a season overarching story instead of an episodic one, so a disappointment at the end like this affects the whole show, not just a single episode (although the cracks started to show in the last episode already.)
It is not just Picard's death fake out. Rios and Agnes matching was dumb (but at least it was a hinted at, although without clear explanation) and made no sense for either of the characters. Seven of Nine and Raffi (which tbh was my least favourite character to begin with) romantic involvement tease at the end felt like I was watching The CW network, and made completely 0 sense. Starfleet (Riker) flying in last minute also looked like a result of the writers getting stuck. Soji her motivation for her choices were remarkably underdeveloped. Why did the Borg cube weapons have to be activated, when it is not used at all, except to get abused by the villain. Why do all the synths just agree with whatever Soj/Sutra/Saga say or want. What are the flowers? So many questions are left unanswered, so why did they introduce all those things so close to the end of the season?
I hoped the evil synth overlords would enter the stage, and turn out to be very different than anyone would have expected. I think that would have been far more interesting, match better with Star Trek themes (curiosity and exploration)
I feel disappointed after having a pretty good run this season, that they ended it like this.
A bit of a messy episode, mostly prelude to this seasons conclusion episodes and main enemy.
It sure is a big fanservice teaser there at the end, but as a lover of Voyager I had a genuine Holy S.... moment!
This is starting to go somewhere. I hope the return of Jack is more than just a one time cameo.
It feels like there is missing an episode between this one and episode 10...
One of the best Scrubs episodes
I've been waiting a long long time for this one.
I am fairly disappointed by this pilot episode. It had a lot of bad dialogue, even worse script writing and the acting was just horribly overdone at some points. And I am not even talking about it being rushed or the completely out of character Jimmy Olsen. But since it is superhero themed, I will of course be following it anyway xD
At least it wasn't as bad as the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (first part of) season 1.
The big reveal is finally here. And pretty early too! A good thing I didn't read the UBW story yet, now I am pretty excited for who is still set to fight who. I hope Archer can humiliate Gilgamesh at some point. But I suspect this route too will end in a Saber victory.
