    Orville: New Horizons (Spoilers)

    I kinda expected this to be a twist - she decides to go back, takes her toys with her, and hands them out to her people, and sees how everything goes bad. And then, when the quantum core bombs hit the city, the simulation ends, and Kelly explains that they knew what she was doing and decided to...

    Sandman Trailer (and Neil Gaiman commentary)

    Just finished the existing episodes. I really enjoyed the show (hence already being finished). As mentioned, I am not familiar with the source material, but with all the visuals I've seen, I totally believe that this was based on a graphic novel. I enjoyed how the story unfolded, it wasn't...

    Star Wars:Andor Trailer

    The way I see it, the setting of the Rebellion era before the Death Star is just a good place to tell stories. Not because there is something particular about that era that needs to be "clarified" or anything - just because fighting an oppressive regime is a neat thing to show. I don't know if...

    Lance Henriksen and Peter Weller: EnWorld Decides

    But Lance had Millenium, the X-Files spinoff! And didn't he fly Blue Thunder? Oh, wait, that was Roy Schneider. Peter Weller had a decent one-time role in Fringe. Maybe I have to go in favor of Peter Weller, though Lance Henriksen is more present in my mind.

    What film(s) have you seen the most times?

    Almost certainly Matrix. Followed by First Contact. Those were the films at the end of my teenage years that hit all the right spots for me. And I still had the time. Matrix is one of the few movies that I saw multiple times. Once regularly, once in a double feature with the sequel, and another...

    Sandman Trailer (and Neil Gaiman commentary)

    I guess I see why Gaiman and Prattchet collaborated a few times... They both seem to prefer describing death as a kind figure that cares for humans. They probably shared more things in common... Maybe I should read more of Gaiman's stuff? (But that would first require to start reading again...)

    1st image of James Webb Space telescope(JWST)

    I am not sure how far it was actually when the light spend 4.6 billion light years to get to us. At the time it left its origin, I think it would have been closer than 4.6 billion light years away, but due to the expansion of the universe, the distance the light needed to travel was actually 4.6...

    1st image of James Webb Space telescope(JWST)

    Lots of photos around the web(b) these days showing spectacular nerd space sci-fi naughty word on Webb's images... It gets kinda repetitive, but I guess it represents our desire to really see something immediately exciting and maybe get out of our daily life and concerns... I am certainly hoping for...

    Umbrella academy season 3. No spoilers please

    I liked this season, I might have liked to know more about some of the Sparrows (?), but I guess what I particularly enjoyed how they systematically embrace the absolute dysfunctionality of the family. It is kinda ridicilous how little they manage to work together and coordinate, of course, but...

    Stranger Things 4 - Any good?

    I still have to watch the final episode, and that could of course turn everything around, but so far I enjoyed this season a lot. The new characters work pretty well. Even though the whole Russia plot so far lacked believability. I dislike that the characters are seperated so much, but every...

    But can a person really still be called typical if it's stretched so thin that has nearly twice the radius of the sun? Some might consider him to have an over-inflated ego.

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    Well, that seems to describe every Captain character we spend any amount of time with, though. Pike, Picard, Sisko, Janeway... And I think Starfleet is okay with that, because they know their handbook is a good start, but you don't know what you'll meet out there and you have to adapt. If you...

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    This was a really nice season finale. I like how Spock subtly changed to be colder and less expressive (considering he already is rather cool and less expressive) in the future - kinda what he will always become. I don't know yet quite how I like the Kirk actor, but I am a bit optimistic - he...

    What is and isn't Space Opera?

    I think many episodes of Star Trek are indeed not space opera, but whatever specific genre that episode matches. Some sci-fi horror turning the crew into avatastic ancestors or a murder-mystery with a space ghost. Deep Space Nine's Dominion War certainly falls in the scope of soap opera. TNG's...

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    Wow, I totally forgot that this view on humanity came from Babylon 5. It was my idea of what humanity's role really is in the Federation, but it seems my idea actually came from also watching Babylon 5. I mean, some say it's because humans might glue two warp cores together just to see what...

    If you had a robot…

    Telemarkters might be different - they are coming in to annoy you and take your money. A robot that actually does stuff you want might put you in a more positive emotional state. Unless of course you bought the Freemium Robot subscription that occassionally plays advertisements. "Master, the...

    Star Trek Strange New Worlds, what did you think?

    He will be missed, though there was talk that at least the actor isn't leaving Star Trek. But even so - we will miss the character. TOS costume department really don't seem to match the capabilities of the new Gorn. I guess I can live with that retcon. Though it seems as nasty as the Gorn are...

    Orville: New Horizons (Spoilers)

    For some reason, I completely missed this episode, becuase the next one I watched was yet again a different story. But I watched it now. Didn't care much for the story, the scenarios just didn't mesh well into a story, and it was mostly going through the scenarios without doing much. In a way...

    Dr Strange 2: In the Multiverse of Madness (Spoilers)

    If it's not an innocent bystander, a villain or a hero, maybe it's a force of nature? Maybe a bit like an avalanche - someone could have triggered it, without any intention to do so, but once it started... But I suppose forces of nature you can manipulate emotionally is... unusual. She can still...

    The Orville vs ST: Brave New Worlds (Poll)

    Is the poll and title still fixable, by the way? I am very biased towards Star Trek, but Strange New World so far has been really amazing. I think the new season of Orville (nor the previous ones, really) has so far not been as good. But I am very happy I can have both.
