STARFLEET ACADEMY s1e5: Series Acclimation Mil

 




I am not sure even I can defend this episode. Where is the action, adventure, fight scenes, chases, wild encounters with alien beings, space travel, heck at this rate I would even accept time travel, real space battles and not fake ones, romances, and sufficient science fiction? This was ANOTHER character study. AND with by my count at least five more characters they can do this with or more, are we going to get nothing but character studies and no action adventure sci fi space travel exploration alien encounters and such? It wasn't bad but it wasn't very good either and while I feel Karim did great acting last week, what's happening this week? He was so bad and what is with his voice? And I'm so sorry, the skirt? No, no, and no. It looked ridiculous. Sam? I'm guessing she has a totally different background than the Doctor? I thought holograms were made by humans? Alien entities made this one and somehow got her into Starfleet? And it seems as if that's no secret? They all agreed to this? An emissary? WTF? No, no, and no. This was not great. If I cared one bit about DEEP SLEEP MINE, it would be nice to have seen Jake and Dax again but I could care less. Boring. And we get a voice over by Sisko rather than seeing him? Avery Brooks has apparently been blacklisted? Shrug. Meh. No. And after all the prep between the adults for the meeting we don't see that meeting: sigh. That adult stuff was just another character study. Every episode is now a character study. No, no, and no. Some action is much needed. Oh and the Doctor is being made to be a huge annoying putz and Reno is most unlikable. I don't want to watch any of these "adults" at all. Horrid.


Here is the plot: Due to her own work as an emissary for the Makers, SAM becomes obsessed with the mystery of Benjamin Sisko, the Emissary of the Prophets who vanished at the end of the Dominion War. At the same time, Ake helps War College Chancellor Kelrec prepare for an important meeting with another chancellor with the help of the Doctor and Reno in an effort to make peace between them. Kelrec reveals that he feels that Ake abandoned Starfleet, leading to his animosity towards her. SAM's efforts are unsuccessful, but Professor Illa shares with her Jake Sisko's book Anslem,[a] and SAM has an interaction with Jake through it. Illa reveals that she's Illa Dax, the current host of the Dax symbiont who was friends with Sisko.

THE WORST DOCTOR WHO ERA and hopefully the very last I DID NOT SURVIVE THE RTD DISNEY Aka the Wrap Up Destruction of DW!

  THE WORST DOCTOR WHO ERA and hopefully the very last     I DID NOT SURVIVE THE RTD DISNEY/GATWA error Aka the Wrap Up Destruction of DW!   You know how some of the McCoy stories were “throw in everything but the kitchen sink” ahead of their time and you hated them when you first saw them as incomprehensible low level garbage but they were really just a bit ahead of their time, sort of and you start to like them after reading what they were really about and what was really behind them (I don’t mean the shit like HAPPINESS PATROL and DRAGONFIRE, those suck)? I mean GHOSTLIGHT and CURSE OF FENRIC and possibly the bizarre BATTLEFIELD?   YEAH this season and the last one weren’t like that. They will never grow on me with time and will never be thought of as ahead of the time, unless a moron bomb goes all misty on us and makes us all impossibly dull and uneducated buffoons who like crap TV that’s so bad, it’s not even MST worthy to be riffed bad or n...

DOCTOR WHO-LUCKY DAY (extreme spoilers)

  DOCTOR WHO-LUCKY DAY (extreme spoilers)   Oh fuck! Is today Saturday? Doctor Who new episode? I didn’t almost forget---I did forget. Compare to the Chris Eccleston’s and David Tennant’s stories when I did countdowns and couldn’t wait and it was the only thing foremost in my mind. Now? Could care less. As far as I’m concerned, I’m hoping the countdown is four to the end of the entire series forever.   Let’s see what shitty script we have this time…   Microsoft news asked: “What went wrong with Doctor Who?” Ha ha. Just read my blog.   Hang on, this is gonna be a rough one: that slap happy mentally deficient Ruby is back.   Combine her with irritating, irritable, selfish bint Belinda and you’ve got some really bad TV on the horizon. Read Dark Horizons: it’s a great Matt Smith Doctor novel that does his Doctor right. Unlike Moffat.   Okay…onto LUCKY DAY: stalling here because last week and the week before were almost painful in th...

WHY DOCTOR WHO IS SUCH GARBAGE NOW

 WHY DOCTOR WHO IS SUCH GARBAGE NOW DW is in sad shape right now. A response to a post about the 60 anniversary "stories". What? RTD is shit now. His writer block from Journey's End stuck and never left. He's burned out of DW and sci fi, he was never that great at the sci fi but fortunately he used to make good choices for the Doctor, his personality, and the premise and plots, usually. His time from 2005 to 2008's MIDNIGHT was the best of the modern series, not perfect but entertaining, meaningful, emotionally sound, logically good, solid DW. Torchwood was a huge mistake and crap, a gutter show. Sarah Jane worked but became routine. RTD burned out on DW and wrote a few good things between his first tenure and now (ALL not sci fi and ALL usually about what he knows: gay life and they were okay, if sad). In the meantime, Moffat ran DW (the classic series he hated and always did and he never new the Doctor's personality or how to write for him) into the ground w...
