Star Trek: Picard: Võx (2023)
Season 3, Episode 9
10/10
Wow! Just wow! Check on your Trek friends!
26 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Where to start with this incredible episode.

From the writing to the production efforts, to say this was an episode offering fan service is simply not enough for the ability to provide new information incorporating classic Trek story lines with new characters and making a declawed character (no disrespect, Voyager) a formidable character and terrifying character once again.

Bringing in the previous episodes, which already encompasses so much classic information and references from across Star Trek's history, bringing it to an unfathomable climax. This truly showed Terry Matalas and the rest of the writing and production team's passion and respect for the subject matter. The Borg.

But then; to also bring back the Enterprise-D after her unceremonious and early, untimely death, makes Terry Matalas Star Trek's new caretaker, president, or even sovereign. I bow down to everyone involved in making this episode & season to the screen.

As Pumba once said in the Lion King, "I gravel at your feet."

Star Trek: Picard: Imposters (2023)
Season 3, Episode 5
10/10
Picking up my jaw off the floor
26 April 2023
Ro Laren!? Are you kidding me!? Amazing episode, and such a beautiful scene between Ro & Jean-Luc in the holodeck. So much of their story tied up neatly in such a short amount of dialogue. Give Terry Matalas an Emmy. Bravo!

Bringing in such a popular character, like Ro, with such a rich history in TNG has put forward such an opportunity to open the door to not just other multi-episode characters and plots but my mind explodes with ideas for episodic characters and plot lines that the fans and new trek watchers can watch to go back and revisit classic trek!

This episode in my opinion truly opened the door to the idea of an amazing legacy series which can have the freedom and creativity to expand on everything trek we've been wanting and begging for, for over thirty years now!

Well done everyone involved, especially Terry Matalas.

Dreadful! Fictionalised nonsensical mess!
23 February 2022
I was so hoping for this to be something special and an interesting glimpse at a much loved public figure.

Instead we got an Americanised monstrosity of the most out of touch proportions!

The movie has zero flow, has absolutely no central plot and doesn't offer any character description let alone development, it completely relies on the audience already knowing the characters and an expectation that you know who is playing what public figure, there is no set up, no direction and it is almost completely unwatchable.

The ending holds no conclusion, nor does it close the story it's telling and will leave you completely drained without relief or climax.

Likely to be added to the scrap pile of terrible biopics that literally have zero charm or anything of substance to take away!

Comedic glimpse at young First Nations people
8 September 2021
The kids are alright, I found this a fantastic albeit short journey and front seat into younger First Nation Australians. The ln-your-face humour and fun cast of characters that could also be appealing to the LGBTI community as well as Australian People of Colour. We need more diverse shows like this! I thought this was a great ride and laughed out loud many times. Only thing was it was a bit short, I'd love to see more!

Glorious reimagining! Brilliant!
30 July 2021
Couldn't believe my childhood was finally being rebooted.

While there are a few things people are angry about in this show, I consider them all snowflake incels insecure in their own lack of masculinity.

This is a great re-telling. I loved it! Love Teela! Loved Mark Hamill as Skelator. Cannot wait for Part II.

Kevin Smith is triumphant once again in another modern retelling, taking on cultural nuances and giving so much depth that was always there before, but blinded by marketing. Just incredible! I'm here for more!

The Morning Show (I) (2019– )
10/10
Welcome back to TV Jennifer!
1 November 2019
What a fantastic return to form for Jennifer Aniston! Her ability to encapsulate a character right from the first episode with such depth, with an incredible supporting cast including a role that could only be played by an actor like Steve Carrol, the complexities of such an intensely debated topic as the MeToo movement, which has been so integral in allowing society to take that important step forward, while allowing narratives to take place that under different acting ability could very easily lost. Reese is exceptional in a role that feels formed to her.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this program about a program can take us!
