The Orville Episode 7 review
In 'Majority Rule', The Orville goes into darker territory with a story that could be straight out of Black Mirror. (Okay maybe it is).

Star Trek Discovery Episode 6 maxi-review
Solid episode of Star Trek Discovery tonight. This show is like being in a bad relationship, you keep getting hurt but, when they show you a moment of kindness, you keep coming back again with hopes they have changed. This time it was worth it.

Great story, great characters. THIS should have been the series pilot. It is a shame CBS is dooming the series behind a paywall. … Continue reading Star Trek Discovery Episode 3 mini review
Star Trek Discovery Pilot (2 episodes): mini review
All flash and little substance. The first 2 episodes tried to establish the start of a war with the Klingons*. It only succeeded in starting a war with itself. The first hour was promising and enjoyable but fell apart in the second act. One positive note, the lead actress, Sonequa Martin-Green, is tremendous in her … Continue reading Star Trek Discovery Pilot (2 episodes): mini review
