  1. I would give Enterprise another shot, I watched it for the first time a couple years ago and seasons 3 and 4 and substantially better than the first 2. Season 3 is one of if not the darkest seasons of Trek and it deals with one major plot the entire way through with a couple unconnected side episodes weirdly thrown in. As mentioned season 4 is one of the best seasons of any trek series, you get several well executed 3 episode arcs. it also has one of the worst finales in the history of television, the 2 parter that proceeds it should be the finale and would have worked excellently in that role.
  2. Police Story 1 and 2 I'm a huge fan of doing it for real in movies so the actions scenes are pure bliss for me the rest of the movie are a struggle especially the middle 50%+ of the first film and Jackie is not a terribly likable character at least in the first movie. action /10 everything else 4/10
  3. This show is just all over the place and is barely being held together by Pike. Why oh why did the have to bring back Tyler/Voq he is the worst. Even by trek standards the explanation of how the doctor is alive is full of what. They desperately need to stop making Burnham the main character, they do not need to get rid of her just make it a total ensemble piece where she is just another player on the stage. What is the deal with section 31. In DS9 they are a hyper secretive group that seemingly consists of 3 guys in a room moving chess pieces around and no one knows they exist, on discovery they a large organization with ships and officers that operate more or less in the open and everyone knows about them. Also having S31 be an official organization and having empress space hitler as a high ranking officer in it really undercuts any moral authority starfleet is supposed to have, starfleet is supposed to be overtop eye rolling at times good guys and now they are ok with a genocidal murder in one of their most potentially dangerous divisions.
  4. China episode was solid and that electric supercar was a grip monster.
  5. Bad times at the old royale It is not till you watch someone try to make Tarantino film that you really realize what Tarantino can do. The slow musical scenes in this do not work the way they in Tarantino's film. The script was fine for what it was and Daniels gives a great performance but it is unquestionable missing that special touch to take it to the next level. 6.5/10
  6. This thing was a miracle of engineering, the planned mission length was 90 days, it worked for almost 15 years https://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-mars-opportunity-rover-20190212-story.html
  7. percentage-wise these numbers actually aren't all that high it turns out. Outside of young people most groups appear to be the same as they were prerecession.
  8. average new car price in the US is $35,742 average median personal income is $31,099 gee I wonder why people can't afford cars
  9. ok one this week, Saru's plot felt very forced though, I will reserve judgment on it till we see where they go with the character I like the engineer, glad she stuck around. She plays off well with Stamets
  10. pickup truck episode was crap newest one with the Urus and the the outstanding Jim Clark documentary was great, Hammond's horse rant was also something else.
  11. big lebowski I don't know how I have never seen this movie till now. Straddles the line between great Coen flick and nonsense, more on the side of great though. 7/10
  12. made from newly found 65 mm footage. Some of this looks like it was filmed yesterday on modern cameras. that shot at :50
  13. A Place Further than the Universe A sweet kind hearted coming of age friendship story. It was a nice change of pace for me to watch an anime series that didn't involve saving the world or punching monsters in the face. This is just the story of 4 normal high schoolers going on an adventure and bonding. Some funny moments, some sad. Tells the whole story in 13 episodes. 8.5/10
  14. I understand why they would want to use Jericho in the main-event since he is almost assuredly the most well know wrestler in the company and will draw a lot of attention to the event but saddling Omega who is arguably the best in ring worker in the world with someone that is pushing 50 could go poorly.
  15. I've never worn blackface, a klan outfit or dressed up as a nazi. Can I move to VA and be appointed to governor immediately?
  16. problem is that requires me to know what I want and not just impulsively buy something because it is on sale how long are these flash sales?
  17. Punisher Season 2 probably the best paced marvel show, all the plots moved along and didn't feel like they were there to just fill time. 8/10 Goblin Slayer I have no idea why people think this is a good series, generic as fuck characters and action. No unexpected developments or plot moments. Also it is SUPER rapey, like this is the best way to describe me watching some scenes 3/10
  18. mine did too but I paid significantly less through out the year because of the lowered brackets, I came out ahead when all is said and done.
  19. A hit job doesn't have to force someone out just make them and by extension the party look bad
