  1. The scriptwriters for these 3 seasons sound like the ones Mitchell and Webb lampoon in their skits. The ones who write doctors who have such amazing lines as, " This man is poorly. Nurse, get me the medicine that will make him feel less poorly! No, not that medicine, the OTHER medicine!!"

  2. You have to realize, YOU are not the Customer. The Marketing and PR WEASELS at Paramount are only interested in The Advertiser Gods who they pander to. See the various YouTube (ironically) channel videos on The Ensh*tification of The Internet. We, and our data from data miners, are the product, just like the Sheep are the product which is why the butcher pays the shepherd.

  3. Listening again, and the whole arc sounds like a more and more Vulture Capitalist production, with scriptwriters just pulled off the streets as needed, and who know there is no repeat gig, so who cares? Really bad script supervision and a producer who only cares about the $$$$, not the quality, because they're bailing after their stint, too. Isn't that the story of far too many series, nowadays? Little, if any, commitment to the product, just the paychecks, resumes AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, MAKING CONTACTS AS ENABLERS OF PRODUCERS' NEEDS. BTW, who is Kurtzman related to, because HE is the Nepo Problem at it's nastiest.

  4. As a person who thought they were going to see a epic version of the Story of Beren and Luthien, or the Story of the Simlarils and the Two Trees in Prime's Prequel to The Lord of the Rings twaddle, there are a LOT of other people who have grown tired with lacklustre, hackneyed, "Not Good Enough to Get a Novel Published" Screenwriters in Hoollllllywood, as Bullwinkle would say it. Even P.G. Wodehouse, the guy who penned such souffles as the Jeeves and Wooster series, was head hunted for Hollywood, and returned to Reality years later with as close to a visceral hatred of that sucking black hole as he could manage. Let's face it, The Borg is a Get Out of Jail Free card for Really Bad Writing! The Shiny Red Robots of Vortis were FAR more entertaining (q.v., BBC's Hyperdrive). Did they at least play Floyd's "In the Flesh" for those Nazi scenes?!

  5. So, I guess it's somewhere along side the road for all those 'light-years ahead' DISTANCES that they forgot the solution? BTW, it was already solved by the asserted time of the FIRST Star Trek, anyway.

  6. Sounds like I go back to re-watching Queppu, Lallakkists, Red Shiny Robots of Vortis, and Star Fleet command tormenting Capt Mike "Hendo" Henderson on the Camden Lock. "Kill the Humans, End their Cullture ...." That and a lot of Asian costume dramas and rom-com series, which are far more innovative and well written (i.e., not scripted by the stagnant, polluted Hollywood scriptwriter pool). Thanks for suffering so we might live! Kinda a commentary on US productions that your video sounds FAR more interesting than the actual series you reviewed. "Brought the word 'Bad' to new levels of Badness. Bad Acting. Bad Effects. Bad Everything. This Bad Film just oozed Rotteness from every Bad scene ... Simply Bad beyond all infinite dimensions of possible Badness ..., Well, maybe not that Bad, but, lord, it wasn't Good!"

  7. Circle the wagons. Did you mail your comment to the teachers? Have a relative that went through a similar program in London, and that seems to be par for the course.

  8. Oh yes, and I have the same problem you have with these series, only with the LOTR (except The Hobbit MOVIES, plural). The mindless drek we got shilled, which was only Cowboys and Indians in Middle Earth, means I will NEVER SEE A GOOD PRODUCTION because of the "It's Already Been Done" Syndrome, and now Prime has done the same to The Silmarillion and the first ages. Amazing how Dr Who seems to get it mostly right ..., except for the horrible, Let's Do "Scooby Do Dalek Busting Team" scriptwriter that Jodie got blindsided by.
