if you haven't already, go read the free book on apple books they just put out called Severance: The Lexington Letter
Urgh... Sorry, boring, boring, boring. Super women Kahori and Captain Carter (who for no discernible reason got chosen by the Watcher) against Strange Supreme... yawn.
All they did in these episodes is cry their eyes out and play poor me. The writing and acting is so bad I can't believe I've watched this far. Pure crap.
Very silly but quite fun. I really dislike the episodes that show a convenient Earth-like civilisation, but this one did it quite well.
I was shocked to see Jane watching Harold and Maude on a Google Chromecast at the end of the episode! A Chromecast seriously! I mean the characters all have iPhones and MacBooks so the obvious choice would have been an Apple TV assuming the “company” furnished their apartment with all the gadgets and gizmos. Heck even a Fire Stick would have made sense considering this is an Amazon show but a Chromecast!!!!!
Ιs it that boring and bad or it’s just me?
I literally had to FF the last minutes, god they are so long episodes.
Why does every season finale have to be so boring and meaningless? Was that really necessary to make Captain Carter so powerful? Looks like she is the ultimate soldier who can defeat everyone in the multiverse at once.
It started interesting, but ended up kinda poorly and not making you want to watch the second season, if they ever going to make one. The only fun was Vince Vaughn himself, the rest was meh. Including all other stories - the islanders, the evil bitch, the gay friends or the women around him.
Yeah; this was never going to end well was it. Very shortsighted here of Kirk, he put his ship, his crew and heck probably the whole universe at risk by allowing 'people' entombed for years an opportunity to take a body again
Not thought through enough
Slightly better than the ending of Life on Mars, but that's not saying much. At least you can say that all of season three led up to it, but I doubt the writers had that idea in their mind when the show started, let alone during Life on Mars. So it's retconned to only moderate success.
Both shows were ultimately never as good as I wanted them to be.
I don't know what they were trying to achieve with that story. It didn't work for me.
Good episode, even though I have my usual misgivings. The story line with Shaz is a good idea in principle, but it comes out of left field, and parts are handled in a very ham-fisted manner.
I wonder why Life on Mars was playing when Shaz makes her ultimatum.
Highlight of the episode was a young Mathew Baynton as Tom Robinson. The resolution of the main story was disappointing. I can see how they don’t want to change the past, but come on.
Kirk gets scotty a hooker who turns up dead while scotty holds a knife…did I put the wrong disc in?!?
Kirk should have been removed from command. Who cares if the creature is the same one and it kills? It is irrelevant. There are plenty of such creatures. The medical supplies are thousands of times more important.
Meryl and Ajax need to be booted off this show - they are full of sh1t a all times
I, too, am a bit uncomfortable with this story. They literally force Federation views and values upon a culture that knows nothing about them. Kirk and McCoy claim this is done for the good of the people and only Spock is a voice of reason. Now, this is of course very similar to what western civilization has been doing for a long time to what they think of as "lesser" cultures. But this episode doesn't take a stand against that but rather promotes it. There is the point made that the influence of the landing party turned the peaceful inhabitants, that didn't know the concept of killing, into murderers. But it is again shrugged off, even laughed off, by Kirk and McCoy.
Furthermore, what exactly is/was Val? Where did he/it come from? Was he evil in forcing the inhabitants to serve him or benevolent by caring for them? Is this another case of a civilization building a machine to help them that then turned against them ?
Plot holes over plot holes.
What I found interesting was that Kirk told Scotty to seperate the main section of the ship. I missed that detail before. I also missed David Soul (of Starsky & Hutch fame) being in this episode.
