Star Trek Discovery – Season 3

So, how to solve the problem of "Discovery feels too advanced" and solve the problem of, "The writers want to make Star Trek but mostly ignore most established Trek canon concepts." What if you just... Catapult the plot 930 years into the future. I am not entirely against the time travel angle of the plot. I am a bit against the "930 years" part. For one, now there is the opposite problem, where everything doesn't feel advanced ENOUGH. Like seriously, did society just plateau? This is literally the equivalent of being a medieval knight to our present day. Even if…

Star Trek Discovery – Season 2

Ok, so, I will probably just go with being a lot more spoilers on this post. It's an older show, chances are if you care you've watched it. I was a bit less spoilers in my Season 1 write-up, which functions a bit more as just a review. I also want to preface this a bit that, I watched Star Trek Strange New Worlds before watching this season. This is notable because this season is effectively a sort of, soft pitch/pilot for SNW. Captain Pike is captain of Discovery this round, replacing Lorca, who of course, got vaporized last season.…

Star Trek Discovery – Season 1

I have been mostly avoiding the newer Star Trek shows. One, I was under the mistaken impression that they were either part of the New Movies timeline, which I dislike, or they were yet ANOTHER new Timeline. It does not help that Discovery really, REALLY feels like they initially intended for it to be a new new timeline. Everything about this show really feels way more advanced than other Trek shows, which is way weird because on the timeline of Trek Show continuity, it's second after Star Trek Enterprise. It happens roughly 10-15 years before Star Trek TOS. I am…

Halo Series (Season 1 and Season 2)

I've finished up watching season 2 of this show. I really hope it gets a Season 3. With COVID and the strike and everything else, who knows. It hasn't officially been renewed but also hasn't officially been canceled. I'm not sure what that means overall besides it will probably be several years before the story continues, which kind of sucks. I really love the whole short-season aspect of modern TV, but I don't understand how that means it also takes 2-3 times longer to make the seasons. There will be some spoilers for the series in this little write-up, though…

Star Wars Ahsoka Season 1

Note: This ended up way longer than I expected it to. Despite efforts to convince me to do otherwise, I can't handle watching shows in weekly episode instances anymore. Sorry, I just can't. So the method these days is to simply, wait for them all to be available, then binge them all in a few sittings. I can barely spread these sittings out. For Ahsoka, I watched 4 episodes one night, then a few nights later, I watched two more. It was getting close to my normal time to go to bed, because that's how old people work. I said…
