Star Trek: Picard (2022) – Monsters, and Mercy
Monsters is probably my least favourite episode of Star Trek: Picard Season Two, and perhaps the whole series in general. It changes several things about Picard’s (Patrick Stewart) established past, though they can be argued the other way, the age of his mother, Yvette (Madeline Wise) when she died, there’s next to no mention of…
Star Trek: Picard (2022) – Assimilation, and Watcher
It makes a kind of sense for Lea Thompson to direct an episode about time travel, and that’s who sits in the director’s chair this time out as I continue to explore Picard Season 2. Assimilation was written by Kiley Rossetter and Christopher Monfette and it was first broadcast on 17 March, 2022. La Sirena…
Hill Street Blues (1982) – Phantom of the Hill, and No Body’s Perfect
While the dog hunt continues things take some interesting turns for the precinct in Phantom of the Hill. Written by Michael Wagner and David Milch from a story by Steven Bochco, Anthony Yerkovich, and Jeffrey Lewis it first aired on 2 December, 1982. Grace (Barbara Babcock), who we haven’t seen in a while, pops up…
Hill Street Blues (1982) – Rain of Terror, and Officer of the Year
It’s Renko’s (Charles Haid) birthday, and his friends at the precinct go all out to make sure he has a good time though it partly backfires, in Rain of Terror. The present is a call girl, something Renko doesn’t realize at first and then is angry about before reaching a slightly amicable ending. Written by…
Mean Streets (1973) – Martin Scorsese
Some people, when you say New York, think Woody Allen. Me, I think, Scorcese, gritty 70s images, and tough guys like Pacino, DeNiro, Keitel and Walken. The next film on the What Else to Watch list from DK Canada’s The Movie Book following its recommendation of Taxi Driver has four of those things, Scorsese, 70s,…
Quantum Leap (1990) – Animal Frat and Another Mother
Sam (Scott Bakula) is back in school, when he leaps into Knut ‘Wild Thing’ Wileton, in Animal Frat. This Animal House-like episode was penned by Chris Ruppenthal and aired 3 January, 1990. It’s 19 October, 1967, and Sam seems to be Big Man On Campus, but as always, he’s there to put something right,…
V – 30 Years On
The Visitors arrived 30 years ago this week. Kenneth Johnson’s aliens who came to earth posing as our friends while hiding not only a horrible appearance but an equally terrifying agenda premiered with the original mini-series V. The sad thing is, I wasn’t allowed to stay up and watch all of it, and we certainly…
