Star Trek: Picard: Võx (2023)
Gobsmacked
S3/E9 must rank amongst the top ten of all ST episodes. I never expected what was behind the red door and I watched all episodes of every series. After this I cannot even imagine how they will continue SNW if at all. Even if Picard would retire they could continue for another season with this team as there are enough young actors in it.
I cannot understand some of the negative reviews here, if they want arthouse series or movies watch them and stay away from ST. Do not watch what you don't like!
E10 should be a cracker and I expect the producers to make it a cliffhanger to lead us into S4 possibly.
Carry on the great work!
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Nothing new
Sadly I agree with most of the lower scores here although somehow I enjoyed S3E1, mostly for nostalgic reasons. Having watched ST as a child I remember the total surprise at the technology shown. Sadly 55 years later not much changed even though the years passed in that universe. Ok, so we have warp 9.9. I agree totally with some comments made in some other reviews about the captain of the Titan, how did he get that position, surely not through impeccable leadership. Means the intelligence as a whole of star fleet is in reverse. The bunk bed and dinner scene wasn't funny at all. The shuttle landing on Beverly's ship laughable it was so poor. That spiked ship a copy. Only highlight was again 7of 9. Brilliant move to bring her back. I will not waste my time on mentioning Raffi. Let's see how the show progresses, maybe they can find some writers which have some imagination and actually design something new.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Memento Mori (2022)
Back to the future
Finally ST is back! 10/10. Best episode since the Borg all these years ago in Voyager. Characters, effects, story line, all good. Just haven't worked out how a torpedo drops down in a gas giant....,
Blown Away: Christmas (2021)
Poor
Terrible presenters spoiled this show and made an absolute mockery of the talented contestant. That male presenter is obnoxious and negative, has no clue about anything it seems. Waste of time.
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
Not worth it!
Boring and just silly! Poor story line, unrealistic fighting scenes, no character development, disappointing.
The Expanse (2015)
Excellent scifi
Great sci-fi, would give 10 if not for one hideous character. The producers should definitely get her off the show.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Unbelievably poor
First half plain boring, dialogues rubbish. Then it gets worse. A caricature of Thor, blurred action scenes, nonsensical time travel plot, weird Hulk, battle field done much better in Lord of the Rings and all of a sudden the whole Marvel universe appearing, where were there just 5 minutes before? And Thanos??? A sad follow up to an incredible infinity war.
Star Trek: Discovery: Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2 (2019)
Incredible
I have watched every ST since it's first episode way back in the 60's, and this episode ranks in my top ten. Stylish, tense and entertaining. My only critique, what's with all the beards? At least Spock lost his right at the end! Glad ST is back and series 3 should be class.
