Anyone get the feeling that this is what preceded the events in the Expanse?
The show continues to disappoint with its narrow focus on Michael's emotions and personal journeys. It strays from the Star Trek ethos of exploration and diverse perspectives, centering almost exclusively on her character. This approach diminishes the broad appeal of the universe, reducing what could be a rich tapestry of interstellar storytelling to a monotonous solo narrative. The series might more aptly be titled 'The Michael Saga: Emotions in Space,' as it fails to capture the quintessential ensemble spirit that has defined Star Trek's legacy.
The Chernobyl disaster is something that has always been of interest to me. Even though this is a dramatization not a documentary, it seems to be striving for accuracy and realism in its depiction of the event. I watch a lot of Horror and I'm probably desensitized by that frequency. But this episode had my heart thumping as the plant workers and firefighters fought the disastrous explosion. It's scarier than any Horror film that I've seen in a long time.
This episode did a great job of recreating '80s Soviet Union Pripyat. The architecture and styles looked accurate. The most stunning recreation was the stifling bureaucracy and buck-passing that was no doubt present in the Soviet socialist state. So many layers of supervision. So many organizations and titles. This episode appears to accurately portray the dismal, incentive-sucking grind that citizens of a communist society experienced.
Ok so this episode turned the show 180 degrees. I feel no sorry or empathy for the guy, he is mentally ill and sexually depraved. And to know that HE is the actual real man it make this show very very sick.
The narration is way to much after the first episode.
What a great movie! What movies should be like. This needs to be viewed in theaters! Highly recommend.
Having been around for the 1st top gun I was afraid about this one. But it did not disappoint I heard people say it's better than the original... Well it definitely is!! The casting of Rooster is amazing. Also seeing Val Kilmer again brought a tear to my eye. What a movie and the music of Hans Zimmer is epic as always!!
What an experience! It was magnificent and really powerful. Brilliant lead actor.
Nice to see Timothy Olyphant in anything StarWars. I never realized I needed that. Then again Olyphant, should be in everything.
Awesome episode, one of the best.
Coming back from cinema and all i have to say is that is one of the best sequels i have ever watched.It was a unique experience watching this in cinema because everything worked in a perfect way from great directing to a well made script.It will probably make you feel emotional during it's time and you are going for sure to feel the nostalgy.Sorry for my bad English i am not in a perfect level but don't miss this one it's a little bit of a masterpiece.
8.7/10
Now I have seen 2 episodes it's clear that this show is what many Trekkies have been looking for : mystery of the week with some food for thought, camaraderie, some humor and (if it's not to much of a bother) some pew pew flying stuff in space.
Mount, Peck and Romijn hit the ground running in their own spin-off but Gooding as Uhura is amazing. Can't wait for an episode focused on the medical team. Of course I can't help but like Ortegas and La'an, although I see some similarities with a certain Naomi Nagata & Camina Drummer, but I'm certainly not complaining about that.
The special effects are amazing and the writers do an excellent job with giving known characters more depth while still respecting what other writers have done. The way they get Pike's command style smack dab in the middle of Archer and T Kirk is very impressive. Strong characters but with flaws. This is a crew I would actually like to be part of, something that hasn't happened since Enterprise ( Team Trip Tucker all the way )
If they can keep this up I say : "6 seasons and a movie"
Astonishing performance. It’s a really good movie and worth watching if you are both a fan and a movie lover.
Man, there's too much drama in every single episode, everybody is constantly crying for every minor thing, it's exhausting.
Is it really nescessary they put all this crap in the show? Can't they just make it the way it used to be? About science, anomalies, real space adventure with tons of mindblowing enigmas and riddles and problems to solve...instead of this soap drama. This season is so bad. What is this shit.
Sorry for the language.
Who watched this after the Coronavirus?
excellent series and these writers did a superb job !! they should be doing the writing on the discovery series because the writers doing it now suck.
thank you for an excellent scifi adventure! you all did a great job!!!
I saw the movie before when I was still very young and found it extremely funny from start to finish. Not so long ago I showed it to my girlfriend and we both had to laugh a lot.
Hardly any of my friends know this movie, which in my opinion is far too underrated. It was an insider tip of my father at the time.
Definitely value to be watched.
Eddie Murphy at its peak. "I I I I I I WANT THE KNIFE". Charles Dance is the bad again and I still entertaining
Hey Fenkins - this is a story already written many years ago by Stephen King. It’s a book. They are doing that because that’s the book. Good vs Evil. Heaven VS Hell. Literally the whole point of the story. You must feel silly.
The movie is way too unrealistic. No one plugs in a USB cable on the first try.
The “almost showing the detective” thing is getting old!
Now this is entertainment!! - If you love mystery, sci-fi, and non stop action, then this is the show for you. Parts remind me of Blade Runner and Total Recall. If you like this sort of thing then check you 'Expanse' also. I binged watched this, and can't want for a second season.
That was the weakest episode of this season so far.
And I still don't understand why they needed to name a "random recurring character" James Kirk for no apparent reason, since it's obviously not Kirk (they could have called him Jim Carrey).
When Episode VIII is released, the Star Wars franchise will have spanned a period of forty years. I'm glad that the Star Trek motion picture franchise was compressed in comparison, though the Star Trek universe has already existed for fifty years. Aside from both being set in space, there really is no comparison except for my love of both with Star Trek being responsible for my career choice in computer technology. I also remember standing in the long line to see Star Wars in 1977 and again in 1979 for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Space, the final frontier...A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Haha, LOL. never had so much fun this movie GOTTA SEE! i mean Will is amazing. must see.
