I hardly know it. Although there is photo of the cast, and Whoopi Goldberg is in it wearing some ridiculous headgear. I think that sums it up !

Re: Movies - 2018 Strikes Back
Watched "6 Days" on Netflix at the weekend. Based on the Iranian Embassy siege in 1980. A bit dull really. Didn't hold the my attention at all.

But Picard was good. I have really enjoyed Star Trek discovery. I did enjoy TNG at the time but it was very cheesy and I struggle to watch it back now. DS9 and Voyager have aged much better I think (in story). Discovery is great though, very gritty. |

I think it's the writing that let's it down. This one is done by Simon Peg and you can tell. I like him, but he's a comedy writer and not right for this in my opinion. I'd be interested to know what you think when you see it so post your opinion when you do please.

Discovery is great though, very gritty. By gritty, do you mean gory? Just into episode 3 where there suddenly some gore, which is not really my thing...does it continue? Also, why is that vulcan woman called 'Michael'? |

Series creator Bryan Fuller deliberately gave Martin-Green's character a traditionally male name, which he had done with the female leads (George, Jaye and Chuck) in three of his previous series. Martin-Green decided that the character was named after her father.

Suburbicon.
Very like Blood Simple, this, also by the Coen brothers. I really enjoyed it and felt the two storylines going on worked well with each other. Some quite tense moments in a very old fashioned way. |

The use of a male name for Michael is irritating! They swore in an episode and that was too much for me. I know that is ridiculous as I feel ridiculous but for me there's no swearing in star trek! :lol: |

By gritty I mean the story lines have more substance and less idealism than the previous series. With the war and people dying, heavy losses and the like. It makes me feel more engaged.

It's quite cool to see certain bits of tech that did and did not make it. For example, there's an electronic clipboard which is a bit like a bulky iPad! Also, funny how in the 24th century they've cracked light speed, but still need to push a button every time they speak on an intercom. Nevertheless, it's all good. Amazing that it is now 50 years old! |

It might be deliberate. They speak to the ship's computer don't they. When they get into the elevator they tell it where they want to go without pushing buttons. So they could probably operate the intercoms without a button - voice activation presumably. But then when crew walk along the corridors their conversations would be picked up and broadcast somewhere. Think of the embarrassment. :rofl: |
