SFDebris: Warlord

Post by Tyyr »

What, no one? It's a mediocre episode and an average review. I think he pegged things pretty much dead on though partly the whole, "walk in and shoot everyone" plan has more to do with the limited budget of a TV show. You can't really show off the grandeur of a planetary ruler and the depth of scheming needed to overthrow them on a weekly TV show budget.

Although I really bursted out laughing when he listed all the alternative to War, Janeway-style :mrgreen:

Not to forget they'd probably have had more budget for real conquering battle if they didn't had to make Neelix' feet special effects, nor pay the babes/beach set presented at the beginning of the episode, which contributes absolutely NOTHING to the story whatsoever.

But hey. Boobies > action scene relevant to the plot

I don't know, how expensive can these be, really?
