Kevin Sorbo ruined Andromeda.

Didn't you get sick from your second shot also?

Is it worth getting?

I've been in such a gaming rut lately... I'm so bored.

How bad is Skyward Sword? I never played it.

Good night!

It's happened before. Gorillas with albinism have been ostracized by other gorillas.

Not my Gorillas... :(

Jigglypuff. Sing. Catch.

Simple.

Yeah putting Abra to sleep is very effective when you need to catch it.

I don't know why Duncan but I've never had issues catching Abra. I love Alakazam.

Chimpanzees were a mistake.

'MERICA!

S1:E4 - The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry

So I appreciate that they at least tried to make this into a Star Trek episode. They tried to show that the TG wasn't a ruthless and hostile alien but a misunderstood lifeform that only acted in self defence. Which they now have to torture in order to use the spore drive... :/ but hey they tried! I also like that they tied the theme of this episode into exploring more behind the tech of the spore drive.

I don't understand what the point of that security chief officer was. She was there to just be an asshat for a couple of episodes and than die? Tuvok, Worf, and Odo wouldn't have went down like that. They also wouldn't be intent on dissecting a newly discovered lifeform.

S1:E3 - Context is for Kings

So this episode begins with a predictably dark opening sequence where it wasn't needed. The introduction to the U.S.S. Discovery should have been handled in a much better way. Still a cool looking ship. The spore drive looks great, but way outta place for this era's Trek technology, it's a neat concept though.

I'm glad that we finally get to meet some more staple characters to the series like thicc Tilly <3, and Lorcan (you know this man is evil from the way he secretly puts that alien creature in captivity). I also enjoy the engineer whos name is escaping me right now. It's a shame that the episode didn't flesh him out more, the parts on the Glenn should have been longer and done just that. I see Burnham is also once again having trust issues. Instead of building the trust of her new crew, she's sneaking off behind their backs and going into places she's not authorized too. I like how Saru knows what kind of trouble Burnham is going to bring.

One final thought on the intro to Discovery. The theme is growing on me, but the actual intro itself reminds me of Enterprise. Don't care for it. I liked Voyagers intro the best out of all of the series.

S1:E2 - Battle at the Binary Stars

So despite the awful looking Klingon ships and whatever those stargate looking fighter things were, that was a good battle. I enjoyed watching it. I thought it was stupid that the Klingon messiah ordered the ship to cloak (dropping shields) in order to decloak (with shields still dropped briefly) in order to ram a ship. Also found it stupid how nobody on the Klingon ship thought to scan for photon torpedoes while using a tractor beam (not a transporter :/ ) to bring aboard dead bodies. That must have been an old Maqui trick that the Klingons were unaware of.

Now onto Burnham. I have no issue with them trying to give her Vulcan characteristics, but did they have to make her Spocks adoptive sister? Come on now. Plus in these first two episodes, she has real difficulty figuring out when the correct time to be logical is and when it's time to be emotional. Like logic would have dictated that she use her phasers stun setting in order to proceed in capturing that Klingon messiah... a plan she thought of! Instead she gets mad that he kills her captain, and she kills him. Thus doing what she previously warned against. I also find it strange that after seven years of serving on the Shenzhou, she'd still rather reach out to Sarek all the time and rely on him, rather than the support and advice of her captain and crew. Might explain why she chose mutiny over trusting a woman whom she's apparently been close with these past seven years... even becoming her number one.

One last comment on this episode. Why the fuck is Starfleet handing out life sentences instead of rehabilitation? I know it's mutiny but come on Starfleet, sentencing a sentient being to life in prison without any hope of rehabilitation seems as if it goes against the ideals of the Federation.

I'm going to watch a few more episodes later but I need some fresh air, so I'm going for a walk in the river valley.

So I have big issues with Star Trek: Discovery. I once made it to the first nine episodes and then I tapped out. I heard it gets a little better later on though in season two and three. Also heard it doesn't. I'll try to give this show a fair shot but bewarned, I'm big on Star Trek lore and I hate how this show shits on it.

S1:E1 - The Vulcan Hello:

So I'll start off with giving the show credit for how nice the special effects look. Which is also a problem when your show is set before TOS. I know they tried adding knobs and joysticks to the consoles but still... that space suit Burnham uses looks better than Voyagers :/

I also like the look of the U.S.S Shenzhou. I've always liked the look of a lot of the federation ship designs and this is no different.

Now my biggest gripe with this episode and the series as a whole is th Klingons. I took one look and couldn't believe how they massacred my boy. What the flying fuck are these? Bald, ugly ass masks, and all they do is speak Klingon and that takes up so much time. They also care about dead corpses, when we know that Klingons don't give two shits about an empty shell. And don't get me started on those fucking "bat'leths."

Also what the hell was up with all of these awful designed Klingon ships that showed up in the end. Not one fucking D7 Klingon Battlecruiser. Remember CE when Klingon ships used to look good? I remember. :(

I know I'm nitpicking with this one, but canonically speaking the Klingons do not have a cloaking device at this time. They gain them when they make their alliance with the Romulan empire later on in Kirks time.

I liked Saru the best so far. His species sounds interesting, and I hope to learn more about them in season 2 or 3. Saru is also pretty smart. He knew to leave the Klingon artifact alone and also how TO FOLLOW ORDERS. He actually reminds me of a good starfleet officer.

I liked the captain as well. She seemed like a good starfleet captain. I know what happens to her because I've seen the first nine episodes. Still I liked her character despite how brief her appearance was, kinda wish she never died in ep.2

So I'm going to leave it here and review/rant abou Burnham after watching episode 2. As a whole, the changes to the Klingons really take away from the episode for me personally. I couldn't get over it enough to enjoy this episode. The actual story arc of the Klingons starting a war with the Federation is a good premise for a show set in this era, but falls flat on its face when the show decides to disregard these same Klingons and makes them unrecognizable.

Play and learn through trial and error.

Looks expensive to fix.

No

Alberta would separate if it did.

Damn I loved Dragon Age back in the day.

I liked the mage origin.

Goodluck!

Bane should chokeslam Batman through the cage ceiling in a Hell in a Cell match.

6 had more driving than 5 though. 5 was good but I liked 6 more cause of all the action.

Well I finished 1- 6, hopefully one day crave will have 7 and 8 available.

I have no idea what to do now.

Where I live... the pint is cheaper than the blizzard.

5 was not as good as four. Too much talking and not enough driving. Like they really cut down on the driving. I was hoping Han respawned like a video game character but I guess this takes place before 3.

I liked the ending action sequence with the vault. They should have had more of that in the movie. Like 80% of the movie should be dedicated to driving, 15% shooting things up, and 5% beautiful women.

I'm onto 6 and more beers.
