startrek enterprise was added to netflix recently so I started watching it last night mostly out of morbid curiosity. I can't believe they started off the whole thing with stupid time travel bullshit. I didn't even make it halfway through the first episode.

I didn't even make it halfway through the first episode. i've tried to get through enterprise several times and i can't do it. the most success i've had was just cherry picking a fan list of the best eps. unsurprisingly every single "best" ep is in seasons 3 and 4, after they shook up writing and production. even the best enterprise episodes are second rate tho

one of the things i really liked about both tng and ds9 is that the powerful and important male leaders are shown talking to other people and listening to them and giving a poo poo about their advice tos really had none of that. if anyone ever talked it was to explain what was going on. and voyager. jesus. voyager would have literally been better as a silent film ala chaplin* *in this version of the show neelix or the token borg lady is the star and the federation types are supporting cast

(basically the federation is space-america)

dredd was way more amazing than it deserved to be for being a remake of a hokey mid-90s action movie also if you enjoy dredd, watch the raid: redemption

track 21 is the music for when dredd shoves the slo-mo inhaler into ma-ma's mouth and then throws her rear end off the roof, great scene.

at first I was a little disappointed that the entirety of dredd took place within a single building, I guess because I was expecting something more like the Stallone judge dredd but the movie still owned and I hope there are many sequels
