Doctor Who - The End of Time (Part 2)

Posted on 22nd February 2012 in Movie Review

Our concluding look at the end of an era. The Master has conquered the world and now plans to rescue the Time Lords for his own evil purposes. The Doctor saves the day and spends the rest of the episode wandering around saying goodbye to people. Don't worry, that's much better than it sounds.

We begin our look at the first half of Tennant and Davies swan song, featuring the return of everyone's favorite extrovert, the Master. Guest star's Bernard Cribbins as the Doctor's faithful if aged companion and Timothy Dalton as Lord Spits-When-He-Talks.

The Next Generation - Ship In A Bottle

Posted on 18th February 2012 in Movie Review

Opinionated Next Gen Episode Guide closes out the TNG Barclay episodes (we already did Genesis) with the return of Moriarty, a villain originally created to be able to defeat Data. Now, he defeats the entire crew without ever leaving the holodeck. Be careful what you wish for.

Doctor Who - Evolution of the Daleks

Posted on 16th February 2012 in Movie Review

The conclusion to the story of the Dalek's evil plan in 1930's New York. The Doctor alternates between screaming at the Daleks and helping them in this ill-advised continuation of the conflict between the Doctor and his greatest enemy.

Doctor Who - Daleks In Manhattan

Posted on 14th February 2012 in Movie Review

From the future to the past, the Doctor now battles the Daleks in 1930s New York, where their army of pig men and construction of the Empire State Building will pave the way for a new Dalek force. And none of that is mockery, that's what really happens. I know, I can't believe it either.

Voyager - Unimatrix Zero (part 3)

Posted on 11th February 2012 in Movie Review

Opinionated Voyager Episode Guide draws Unimatrix Zero to its ridiculous conclusion as two small ships take on the baddest ship the Borg have, and it's an even fight. Plus, the battle between Janeway and the Borg Queen is revealed to be a contest: which one of them is the more crazy?

Voyager - Unimatrix Zero (part 2)

Posted on 9th February 2012 in Movie Review

Opinionated Voyager Episode Guide continues the look at the cliff hanger of Unimatrix Zero. Janeway takes the greatest single tragedy of Picard's life and turns it into her plan to start a Borg civil war, and isn't starting civil wars what the Federation was founded for?

Doctor Who - The Parting of the Ways

Posted on 7th February 2012 in Movie Review

The final half of the series 1 finale. The Doctor now faces his oldest enemy in force with nothing but his wits and the people who run a television station. God help us all.

Doctor Who - Bad Wolf

Posted on 6th February 2012 in Movie Review

A look at the first half of the series 1 finale. The Doctor, Rose, and his new companion, Captain Jack, are brought back to Satellite 5 and forced to participate in deadly television shows. It's farfetched.... it assumes it'll take 200,000 years instead of the more likely ten.

Voyager - Unimatrix Zero (part 1)

Posted on 4th February 2012 in Movie Review

Opinionated Voyager Episode Guide brings back a brand new episode to remind you why this all started four years ago. In the first part of this ill-advised season cliffhanger, Janeway plans to turn a group of drones just looking for a few hours peace away from the collective into her own army, and will do anything, no matter how ridiculous, to make it happen.

Doctor Who - Rose

Posted on 2nd February 2012 in Movie Review

Kicking off our month-long look at new Doctor Who, Rose. A teenage girl becomes pulled into the world of a 900-year old alien time traveler and wants to join him in his tiny wooden box. A popular family show in the UK.

The Man From Earth (Part 1)

Posted on 31st January 2012 in Movie Review

A look at the film: The Man From Earth, final script by Jerome Bixby before he died. It's about a guy who can't die. Even I'm not so tasteless as to make a joke about that.

Part 2. The conclusion to the look at Bixby's final work.

The Next Generation - Realm of Fear

Posted on 28th January 2012 in Movie Review

Opinionated Next Gen Episode Guide returns to Reg Barclay. No holodeck worries now, no, he's just a hypochondriac who is terrified of the transporter just because their are lovecraftian horrors within it.

Threshold: Trees Made of Glass (Part 1)

Posted on 26th January 2012 in Movie Review

Yes, the pilot episode of Brannon Braga's post-Star Trek series, Threshold. You've probably heard about it, but have you actually seen it? No? Then prepare to be filled with... something. Aliens and mutants threaten and all that stands in their way is a quasi-fascist government project called Threshold. Enjoy!
