  STARFLEET ACADEMY-s1e6: COME, LET’S AWAY (SPOILERS)   What all the conflict in the reviews have caused is that…we or rather maybe just I, can’t really watch with a freedom of just watching. This episode, like all the others, like all TREK really, has issues but it’s fast paced, action packed, and makes more sense. Sure, why are cadets allowed on the bridge in a crisis? Why are they training on a real destroyed ship when there are holodecks? If Tarima could do that, why didn’t she just do it sooner? And SAM continues to not make sense: if she’s a holoimage person, she should not be able to be shot or at the very least, she can vanish and go onto the ship to safety. Her entire presence is a mistake, despite her still doing more to save the team than say, Jay Den, who seems to toss one of the Furies (who gave them that name? aren’t those female monsters from Greek mythology?) and Kyle who shoots maybe one or two?   It’s truly shocking that there are two deaths (S...

  DARK SHADOWS  584 “But don’t worry, Maggie, you’re safe just as long as you’re with me.”   “Julia, you’re using common sense again. When did common sense or reason ever mean anything to Adam?”   “Now, we must only think of Vicki and the family. There’s only one way we can save that family.”   KLS, no reprise. Barnabas is in the lab. Julia has big ear rings. They guess that Willie kidnapped Maggie. Julia gets an IDK.   Barnabas flub, “Use Julia…use Maggie.”     Willie carries Maggie into the mausoleum. Even HE later admits he should never have brought her there, as stated before, too many people know about that room although it’s possible Willie thought it was a double bluff: since Barnabas and Julia both know about the room there’s no way he would ever hide her there!     Barnabas gets his own IDK. “It may be too late to do anything now.”     He also flubs, “It’s all…we’d never be able to cov...

 VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA-TERROR ON DINOSAUR ISLAND  TERROR ON DINOSAUR ISLAND Writer-William Welch Dir-Leonard Horn   Teaser Benson, a crewman on Seaview, is what Kowalski calls a gold bricker. He asks him or Patterson to switch duty watches with him--a duty that Bishop has put him on (Bishop is the name of an officer from Season One). Pat goes to sonar watch. Ski suggest Benson ask his buddy Grady, "He's your pal."   Benson muses that Ski is right--he can talk that kid into anything. Sharkey and Nelson are in the Flying Sub (NOTE: the backdrop of the interior of the Flying Sub looks a bit odd--as if it were wooden, not well lit, and perhaps not the entire Flying Sub set-up). An island seems to rise out of the water at them. They believe they are witnessing the birth of an island. Chip gives lee a pressure report and Lee warns the Flying Sub--but it is too late. The Flying Sub heads for the crater which is blowing up! Nelson tells Sharkey to grab hi...
