Star Trek: Discovery (2017–2024)

Too much whispering

[5/10 · 22 May 2022]

In the next season, for the love of God, don't whisper so much. It's not interesting and does not project intensity. It's just lazy writing, directing and act.

NCIS: New Orleans (2014–2021)

What happened?

[4/10 · 5 January 2021]

This show was so good now the writing is weak and trying overly hard to be politically correct. The show has gotten lazy and self righteous.

Star Trek: Discovery: Unification III (2020) Season 3, Episode 7

Ruined by whispering!

[8/10 · 26 November 2020]

Please, for the love of all that is holy, let Burnham speak up. The whispering is just so distracting. It just ruins the show.

Star Trek: Discovery: Die Trying (2020) Season 3, Episode 5

Getting better.

[7/10 · 12 November 2020]

Best cold open so far. I hope that Ms. Martin-Green gets away from the Paul Giamatti school of projecting earnestness. That is, she whispers too much. She is a very talented actress as was shown in The Walking Dead, but she comes off here as a bit wooden and the whispering is undercutting her power.

For All Mankind: Rupture (2019) Season 1, Episode 8

Cheap plot device

[4/10 · 26 December 2019]

Really disappointed in this story arc. I really find the death of the child of the main character a cheap plot device. Especially when the kid is "troubled". Just lazy writing to create artificial tension away from the main focus of the story.

The Code (2019)

Liked it better when it was called JAG

[3/10 · 23 July 2019]

This a sad imitation of JAG, only the acting and writing is much worse. Even as a non-veteran, I am disappointed in the errors.
