I don't know how I can make the message above any clearer: "[T]hat is not saying it is bad, that is not saying it shouldn't have been done." Structurally, this episode is composed entirely of what are normally subplots - that's something I don't think any Trek episode has ever done, and so for that reason, I don't think can be adequately compared. If you don't agree with that, that's fine, I just ask that any rebuttal be to what I actually say and not to things that I didn't.

I think chuck is just going to have to live with some heat on this one. Don't really see any way around it.

Re: SFDebris: Family
Oh well. He's a reviewer. And any reviewer is always going to say something that a lot of people will disagree with.

Re: SFDebris: Family
I honestly agree with him. You've got less a conventional episode and more like three subplots running together. It's not a bad episode but it's not one I leave the TV on the channel for.

Re: SFDebris: Family
This review makes me question his ability to honestly separate his ability to analyze from his desire to bash.

Re: SFDebris: Family
He did seem to reach on this one a lot. Along with the "its not trek" lines.

If you want to be reassured, go and watch his TWoK review again. That was his finest hour, without a shadow of a doubt.Mikey wrote:This review makes me question his ability to honestly separate his ability to analyze from his desire to bash.

Very true Seafort, I've watched that review several times.

I gotta agree, here. Yes, the TWOK review was great, but this one is just... he really was reaching, IMHO.Mikey wrote:This review makes me question his ability to honestly separate his ability to analyze from his desire to bash.
