Battlestar Galactica: Maelstrom (2007)
B. Good, but not the best.
These two people above are idiots. While the episode before this, the one with the working class was pretty bad. This one was better. The people above are expecting some big thing to come up. And so am I. But in order to understand the "big thing to come up", we need to understand whats going on. Starbuck had a contract for the series, unlike Billy, so when she died, shes going to come back. This episode explains more about Starbucks past so we may know what the plan is. Overall, this was a good episode. And it did't have what I call a "Sit Down and Talk" ending like its predecessor.
To the idiots that wrote the two above: I mean every offence to what you write and what you believe. Don't be like most of America. And in case you're wondering, I would say this to your face.
Star Trek (1966)
Better than Star Wars
I really enjoyed this show. Being born in the 90's, I laugh at the graphics and backgrounds of the show. But, really, I love this show. Some of the episodes (especially the later ones) are really tacky and dumb. But the earlier ones like "The Menagerie" or even "The Cage" were the best. One thing about Star Trek is that it had brought up issues that were controversial at the time. Like the episode with the black and white guy and the white and black guy. Showing that even though they are different, they can live together. One of the better ones would be "Mirror, Mirror" where Kirk, Lauhura, McCoy, and Scott go to a parallel universe. They came out with a remastered one where they digitally enhanced the graphics. It's on at 5:00 on Sunday. It's on the channel that used to be on UPN.
Battlestar Galactica (2004)
The best sci-fi/action/drama show on TV.
I am one of those people who can say, "I've been watching the show since the beginning." And I can definitely say I am glad to. This has got to be the best show on TV (in my opinion). From season to season the show has gotten better and better. When Season Two ended with the fleet jumping away from New Caprica (dumb name), I was left really angry because I wanted to see what will happen. I really liked the connections made with the events on New Caprica and in real life today. (Some of you won't like this) When the Cylons came, they claimed to be freeing them. When the US entered Iraq, we claimed to be freeing them. Right now in Iraq, there are insurgencies fighting our soldiers and blowing themselves up. In the show, Tigh, Anders, Tyrol, and the others were blowing themselves up to get rid of the Cylons. Really, this show mirrors Star Trek (original series) in many ways. Because the original Star Trek brought about issues that were around at the time. In a deep way, so does Battlestar Galactica. If you are a fan of one of the three words I used to describe it in the summary, then you would love this series. I recommend it to everybody.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Entertaining
All of the Lord of the Ring movies were good. I enjoyed watching them in theatres with my brother on New Years Eve. However, like Star Wars and other movies and books, the theme of the movie is shallow. It's the usual Good verses Evil theme. "Destroy the ring to save Middle Earth"! I liked the Return of the King the best, but it really fell apart at the end. It was annoying how Frodo destroyed the ring and the next half-hour of the movie was just stuff. But I got a good laugh about the orgie scene with the hobits, the old man, the blonde long haired dude, the brunette and the redhead. That was probably the gayest scene (not that there is anything wrong with that, it's fine if that's who you are). So I give this movie a B and give it entertaining.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003)
Incredible
This game is incredible! The game is so big and you can choose to help people or kill them or make their lives miserable. You can decide to become the Dark Lord or you can turn to the light side and be a Jedi Master and save the galaxy. I have played it at least fifteen times and every time I have played I always discovered new ways to play the game. Although it is a Star Wars game it is almost completely different from the movies. You can interact with the people in your team and get involved into their story lines. Except an old man in your group. Well maybe you can and I haven't done that. It is a really big game. Although I thought a planet you have to travel to, Manaan, was pretty boring, the rest of the game was great. I was curios to find was that a space station you can go to at Yavin, was not in another copy of the game that two of my friends had. It sucks for them because in the game you build a lightsaber and can put crystals in it to make it more powerful and to have different colours. You could have yellow, or red, or green, or blue, or violet. But two other crystal colours you can buy near the end of the game are at that space station. But a really hard thing to do (for me) was to turn to the dark side. It was really sad to ruin these peoples lives (even though they probably deserved it). But, that is just me.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Horrible
It wasn't true to the book. They needed to have more about it, and they needed to redo the scene were the Drumsdrang and Beuxbatons students came in. They also needed to redo Ron. They put in the stupid boyish acts like when he was looking at the girls. I mean, if they were going to make the movie of the book, they have to make it what least somewhat the same. They did good with the Philosopher's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets. But when the got to the Prisinor of Azkaban the just lost it. This movie had the way of being good, but it wasn't. And another thing, how come most of it was at night. Like during the second task, it was supposed to be morning. This movie (in my opinion)is horrible. I really think that they need to redo it. And Dumbledore, he wasn't that calm old man. Instead he was rather angry and impatient. Especially when Harrys name was chosen for the Triwizard tournament. They left out many important parts and people:
- The Dursleys weren't included
- They never find out Hagrid isn't half giant
- They didn't put in Dudley and the Ton-Tongue toffee
- Ludo Bagman wasn't mentioned
- The discussion between Dumbledore and Fudge didn't come up, which should have if they are going to make Order of the Pheonix
- Winky and Dobby wasn't in
- Hermione never catches Rita Skeeter as an animagus, which is also crucial in the Order of the Pheonix, only not as much
- Weasley's Wizard Weezes are not mentioned
- Harry never got the money for the Twiwizard tournament
None of these came up during the movie. I find it kinda sad that my favourite Harry Potter book was probably my least favourite movie. If you ask me me, they need to redo it. I mean, I could probably direct better than Mike Newell did.
