The fundamental plot could have resulted in a great episode, but most of the potential got wasted.

Stamets & Burnham in their 'emotional' moments become a real burden for the show. Happens too frequently, often for silly reasons and the actors certainly don't show their best performances in such situations. It's painful when the real tragic and drama isn't about events in the script, but the performances.

My favorite episode so far. Yes, I'm one of those strange people who considered "Fly" to be the best episode of Breaking Bad!
I'm impressed by how much story telling and character development they manage to pack into each hour.
And superb acting by "Homer".

After #Picard 1x06 I finally understand that Deanna Troi was really essential in TNG. :thinking:

Jean-Luc seems to struggle to register any emotional distress, even among his familiar entourage and therefore frequently behaves like an insensitive moron.
God bless counselor Troi for informing him all these years!

My feelings about this show in general are still very mixed. But the start was certainly more promising than the recent episodes.
Maybe Jean-Luc can't do space anymore?

I loved the first 3 Bourne movies, so I was inclined to see this new series. It wasn't bad, the action was great in some parts; the plot, while confusing at first, made sense later and was intriguing; the acting was believable. But it just wasn't the same Bourne. Still a good watch though.

His best film yet. Is it exaggerated and manipulative? Yes, it's Michael Moore. What did you expect. However, he always does this to make a point that most Americans are too dense (or blinded by the idea of American exceptionalism) to get. We were once exceptional and he makes that point too. These ideas were originally American ideas. Yes, Europe has a better quality of life and we could too. As someone who has lived both places, but is American, I want us to have a better quality of life. I came back to America because I believed in this country. It's clear from this film that Moore does too.

Okay, this was a bridge episode. But had it to be so very boring? Did any previous Star Trek series ever have boring Mirror Universe episodes?

The only mildly interesting elements were the exchange between Mirror-Saru and Mirror-Georgiou and the other was about this unknown being and its portal. And the latter could have been so much more than just a decent time filler.

That probably wasn't their intention, but despite considering the Mirror Universe crew very unpleasant dull beings, I'd actually have to consider if I'd rather want to see a series about them. After they killed their Michael Burnham ofc.

I really enjoyed this movie. Left me smiling at the end... That is always a good sign.

I watched this movie as a spur of the moment thing. I'd thought it would be another period era romance smut film (which is exactly why I watched it, don't judge), with racial tension thrown in to set it apart. In the end, it became a commentary that applies to modern day, and not just about slavery of colour, but of social standing, spirit and the human race. I had no idea it was based on real lives, which I admit actually made me rate it better.
The costumes were beautiful, acting above average and a few stand out scenes. If you don't usually like period films, then the second half of the film might be more enjoyable for you then the first.

What a wonderful TV serie, I just love the soundtrack. In ratings this serie will never be number one. You just love it, like I do. But many people will just hate it, I can understand that too. Perhaps the BEST tv serie ever made? NO.... Breaking Bad is still the best tv serie ever made.... no doubt. An other option, when you like too see good tv series, I do also love Chernobyl, what the fuck, it was shoot as a documentary, but it wasn't... very gooooood actors. It's all ready number one on the IMDB Top Rated TV Shows list. I did gave it a ten.

I mostly enjoyed this episode. It actually lays the foundation for some very promising stories in the future.

My only nagging concern is that we've already been there in the past. We had great opportunities for this show to carry the name "Star Trek" with honor. Let's hope that they use their chance this time.

Perfectly mediocre. Scarlett was out of character completely i do not know how she got involved in this type of movie. The only one stand out was Zoe Kravitz

I didn't realize until rewatching this much later, but this movie shaped my dating theory from an early age into "take no shit"

So she learned from the letters that Melmont lied and tried to steal the money from her. That he was a mass murderer.

Yet she decided that it would be wise to meet that man again, all by herself. Seriously, how stupid is that plot?

I knew Emily Blunt from several earlier movies but it was The Adjustment Bureau that made me become a huge fan of her. And she didn't disappoint ever since.

Since the initial episodes, this series became highly favoured TV for me and I have now placed it in my top 40 list. THE GOOD FIGHT began by co-opting the creme du la creme talent of THE GOOD WIFE: Christine Baranski, Cush Jumbo, and then added another talented Brit, Rose Leslie, to the core cast. With great writing and the first season casting of some tried and true talent: Paul Guilfoyle and Bernadette Peters, it was off to a great start. Although I thought THE GOOD WIFE faded away and needed to end, this series was a Phoenix rising from the ashes. I initially gave it an 8 (superb) out of 10, expecting it to rise. The second season was 9s (superb) all the way, so, now, at the end of season 2, I'm giving the whole series a 10 (best television) rating out of 10 [Legal Drama] If you haven't seen any of it, I highly recommend this as one of your summer binges!

I had no idea what this movie would be about and that really did benefit my experience.

I'm probably overrating this episode by 1 point, because I'm too excited that we finally had another great episode for this show.
Anyway, it IS a great episode, with a nice mix of revelations and story + character development.

Oh, Danny. You naive precious little puppy. Clearly you haven't been in the real world for 15 years. You can't go around telling people who think you're crazy that you are a warrior and the Iron Fist. But aww, poor soul. He has no one. :( I'm also starting to like Joy. I mean she already had her doubts and I loved how she proved it with the M&Ms. Unlike her brother, she seems like a decent human.

Spectacular effects with a weak grip on realism. What do you expect from a Michael Bay film?

"This is a true story", but no doubt the real details are less…Hollywood.

A very original fairy tale. The unique animation might be off-putting for some, but it is something that makes the movie all the more magical. This is a lovely work of art for both young and old.

Encanto is better than I initially expected it to be. It has lots of charm, the songs actually contribute to the story. Usually I despise Disney's tendency to provide some singing under any circumstances.

It's still "only" a 7/10 because the climax of the story couldn't keep up with the excellent rest. The general story buildup was great too though, as it left much room for the characters to develop depth.

Count no man as happy until his end is known

Μηδένα προ του τέλους μακάριζε

Yeah, "all that Greek shit" that the writer doesn't even fucking know that it was Solon who said it to Croesus!!!

Solon!

Wait, did he fake the voice before or during the heist? If during, the timeline doesn't match up, but it seems he got the idea when he saw the two kids in the street that reminded him of his own past.

But if he faked the voice before... Well, why not use that directly? Was it a plan B? Did he forget he had the voice until he saw the kids?

None of this make sense to me.

Cate Blanchett is amazing. But that's true for pretty much all of her movies. And this one has nothing else to offer. Unless you are a kid or have kids.

There is so much that makes little to no sense at all, I simply can't be bothered to sum it all up.

The two or three times this was somewhat amusing, can't compensate for the pain all the rest of this movie caused.

Hmm. I don't get the enthusiasm for this episode.

There is extremely little relevant material for the greater story arc. We already knew about as much about the red angle, the only new information is that somehow life on several planets would end. Wow!

Considering this story deficiency, the plot is shockingly bloated, feels very 'constructed' and is often enough illogical. I won't bore you with details why it was completely unnecessary to travel to Talos, when simply sharing experiences was enough to heal Spock. Or how disappointing and shallow the Spock-Michael interaction was. Or how the communication with Pike could have been far more efficient, if they hadn't used Vina and her mastery in missing the point.

Do not believe ratings for this truly amazing movie and go watch the Michael Cimino-approved version of 219 minutes. It is one of the best films ever made and a true masterpiece (that has cruelly been bashed or overlooked for too long). Photography is breathtaking, music is astounding, the actors are great, the narrative technique is close to a literary feat with the very effective use of ellipses (used perfectly by Cimino in The Deer Hunter as well) and the overall story is really human, touching and down to earth. It is a grandiose American epic with a philosophical spirit. It is one of the best proofs that cinema is Art.

It wasn't as bad as Luke Cage, but Iron First certainly isn't a good show without flaws either ... heh, actually my average episode rating is 5.615.

My biggest problem: Danny certainly isn't the smartest cookie in the world.
But he actually had pretty much nothing else to offer either, besides his problem with using his head just once.
Fighting? - Even here his character was annoying as ****. And Colleen was a much bigger joy to watch.
The craziest part though is that Ward, of all options, was by far the most interesting character, with the most interesting development and, compared to others, his decisions made actually sense from his perspective. Sometimes.

A good episode, but nothing special. Some minor decision making made little sense, so does "the science".
I also frequently feel like they'd recycle too many elements from previous shows and movies. "Riding on top of an explosion" is getting old, for example.

And about the show in general: I'm a bit disappointed by "the hounding" from setting to setting, within few episodes. So far Discovery's priority certainly isn't to deepen the plot, rather than jumping to the next climax.
