Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part IV (2022)
They might run out of extras to kill!
They invade a double super secret base crawling with troopers, killer bots, and slippery floors. None of them dies. Script: OK, you're going to get tired of swinging that fake light saber so we'll do it in 20 takes. ACTION.....bzzzz slice, biff, thwack, spliff, zoik, (Batman does a cameo) thud and vomit. They took a 90 degree turn off a cliff on this episode!
The Orville: Electric Sheep (2022)
Special effects don't make a good story.
I nearly fell asleep during most of the inane banter between the characters. What a weak story. Nothing like showing suicide as a replacement for character and stoicism. No wonder Babylon 5 didn't use robots/androids!
Halo: Transcendence (2022)
Endgame or cliffhanger?
I was impressed with the way the whole series was handled. I've never played the Halo game but I have been reading/viewing Sci-fi for 60+ years. Thank the people who put this series together and hope they will release more like it!
The Outer Limits: The Guests (1964)
That's just awful.....awful, awful, awful!
I saw this back in the 1960's when it first came out and the following lines from the old lady really creeped me out as a 10yo kid! "That's just awful.....awful, awful, awful!" It still creeps me out and I'm closing in on 70!
Sliders: The Seer (2000)
Sliders dies in darkness!
I have been fast forwarding through most of season 5 until I came to the last episode. Bad acting, bad scripts, bad special effects. I understand character development but you don't need 2 seasons to do it in. (I was waiting for Maggie to ask everybody "What's my motivation".) I kind of liked the first 2 cheesy seasons. These last 2 seasons only had Rembrandt as somebody they could anchor the show on. If a producer had a wooden stake, they should have nailed this series through the heart after season 2.
Space: 1999: Voyager's Return (1975)
Spigot malfunctions and emits neutrons!
At about 17:50 in, the exhaust of the probe is shown. It is so obvious that it is water that it drips off the bottom of the outlet.....in zero G. ROFL
The Mandalorian: Chapter 16: The Rescue (2020)
StarChicks
Wow, this series is starting to look like "Arrow". You know, a stinker. I wonder how far they can stretch out this series with such a thin plot! If it wasn't for baby Yoda, I would have stopped watching several episodes ago. More good guys and an attrition rate of them would be more believable. 3 women and an old clone can't miss a target on that huge ship but the storm troopers can't hit one! I think I lost 10 IQ points watching this episode and I'm not quite half through watching it.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: Family (1990)
At least it's better than season 1
What's funny is the kid with the British accent that's from France! Stupid oversight!
Star Trek: The Next Generation: Code of Honor (1987)
Makes a steaming pile of dog $#!t look reasonable!
I figured I would re-watch this series since I haven't seen it in quite a while. This one I didn't remember with good reason. Every series has its dogs and this is a rottweiler. Where was this supposed to be filmed, the planet Detroit? I was waiting for someone to go walking by in a pimp outfit.....wait.....they were all wearing pimp outfits. Too bad you can't talk them into burning all copies of this disasterpiece!
The Expanse (2015)
Shohreh Aghdashloo keeps dropping "F" bombs
I consider her quite a casting coup. She really brings an interesting dimension to the show. The only problem is her recent "F" drops from the script. How could you take a classy looking woman and make her sound like a NY city street walker? Fire whoever gave her those lines and try to write in a better dialog. I know it's being done for effect but it gets old after a while!
The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes: The Affair of the Avalanche Bicycle & Tyre Co. Ltd. (1971)
Hilarious!
This guy is a creep and plays the part well. Sherlock Holmes he isn't but an odd and entertaining story it was.
The Invaders: Summit Meeting: Part II (1967)
Evil aliens shoot themselves in the foot!
What superior race carries around the timetable to our destruction in a briefcase? The plot was laughable. What next, a spaceship designed to look like a phallic symbol? Oh wait, that was "Flesh Gordon",
The Orville: Identity, Part II (2019)
Fred Saberhagan where are you?
This is one of the best episodes so far. It reminds me of the berserker series of Fred Saberhagen. Star Trek's Borg, SG-1's replicators, and now this. Thanks to Fred we all sleep a little uneasy at night!
Bad Boy Bubby (1993)
Bubby breaks into the world
I rarely comment on movies but this one is unique in my experience. If you can get through the first 10 minutes, you'll either love it or be completely stunned by it. (Therapy may be required after watching this movie, LOL) I was watching Farscape when I happened to see the guy torturing Ka D'Argo.....OMG, it was the actor from "Bad Boy Bubby". (Liars, Guns and Money episode). Bubby is a must for any collection!
