Comments | Alex: I’ve previously reviewed a fair amount of this (but not every episode of this) in the past: https://bureau42.com/view/6800/anime-review-urusei-yatsura-season-1 |
Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Supercop is an excellent film, showcasing Michelle Yeoh’s abilities (especially considering she’d just come off of a short retirement from acting to have a kid), alongside those of Jackie Chan’s – this film is definitely worth picking up – especially considering this version doesn’t have the alterations imposed on it by Harvey Weinstein.” Blaine says, “I’d go with any of the Doctor Who or Star Trek releases.”
Lower Decks is an absolutely wonderful love letter to Star Trek. I can’t recommend it enough. I might start in on His Dark Materials. I thought the books started off strong and then wandered off into WTF territory by the end.
I had never heard of The Center Seat before today and, based on the zero reviews on Amazon, I’d say I’m not alone. I am slightly curious, however.
The Centre Seat is fantastic. Take the DS9 documentary, and make it 11 hours long about every iteration of Star Trek prior to Discovery. It’s must-see for Trek fans.
You, sir, have piqued my interest.
More fuel for that fire:

I would concur on Centre Seat.
Having grown up in the disaster movie era, I must admit to having some curiosity about the Big Bus, a pre-Airplane spoof of the genre.
