Genesis

Post by Nickswitz »

It's up on OOEG, it's so stupid, not as bad as Threshold, but pretty darn stupid. Any comments on it, I like to laugh.

Here's the ONGEG review of it.

In terms of stupidity, it's TNG's Threshold.

Yup, Evolution going haywire, with random non-human-related genomes. Someone didn't think when they made this episode.

OT, how do you make a link say something, I've always been confused by that.

We have a whole thread full of helpful hints like that in the Announcements
Linking

This is pretty simple to do, you can either just type out the link address:

http://www.ditl.org

But this looks ugly and messy, it is much better to make it into a URL link. You do this by adding the address into a URL bracket, the URL button is found at the top of the page near the IMG button.

Code: Select all

I'm far more inclined to agree with Graham's review: A fun little episode, despite the silly premise. Actually, looking back at what Graham wrote for DITL, I'm a little surprised he gave it ****, as I would have expected him to crap on it more due to the absurdity of the plot. But as I said, I agree with the rating, as I found it was one of the more interesting episodes they had that season.

I have a much harder time separating the absurdity from the action.

And, for that matter, the badly laid-out plot, as ONGEG pointed out. The only good bit being the actors' peformances

I imagine it all depends on what you find enjoyable. A good plot and story some enjoy, some enjoy special effects, some enjoy good always winning...different people have different standards of enjoyable.

There are parts (like the performaces as Seafort mentioned) which I do find enjoyable. I thought Stewart was almost as good as in the Star Trek "Family Guy" episode. However, I can't spearate the crappy parts enough from the good bits to qualify it as a decent (or even mediocre) ep.

I was something like 7 or 8 when Genesis first aired - and it scared the crap out of me. Not so much anymore.
