What are you watching???

Okay, on Enterprise "Exile". Though I can see that its meant to hint at more of the Xindi story line, I really did think that they did not need to have Hoshi get propositioned by a lonely alien with telepathic powers. He (alien) could have sent his message to Archer or even T'Pol.
 
Sherlock Series 4 Episode 1 "The Six Thatchers" - A very solid mystery episode, and I got a bit more of a kick out of it because I remember the original Sherlock Holmes story it was based on fairly well.

Sherlock Series 4 Episode 2 "The Lying Detective" - The absolute worst episode of the entire show (unless episode 3 of this series ends up being worse). Filmed in a very confusing way, written badly, and with basically every character being stupid and/or irritating. The villian is the second worst bad guy in the whole series, after Moriarty. I dropped it after 15 minutes and just read the summary on wikipedia, and I'm glad I did. If I'd seen the end "reveal" after watching the whole awful episode, I would have thrown my show through the screen. This was just absolute garbage. Only my enjoyment of the series overall is making me watch the next episode.
 
Just watched the clip for MacFarlane's new show, The Orville.

Dear GOD, that looks awful. The trailer is supposed to have all the highlights of the show, but I didn't laugh once.
 
Blade Runner (The Final Cut)

I've never seen anything but the first 10 minutes or so of this movie, so I sat down and watched all of it today. It was...interesting. Not a bad movie, but not what I'd call a good movie, either. Mostly it was really weird. The weirdness was definitely something to see, and it could be entertaining. The end section with Deckard and Roy fighting was bizarre but pretty cool at times.

But, the overall plot of the movie was barely existent, and what was there was a mess. The characters were mostly one dimensional if that, especially Deckard. The movie also really liked pointlessly slow shots of scenery. Its ending was also terrible and confusing and didn't even really end the movie. Plus, I have no idea why anyone could possibly think Deckard was a robot based on this movie. Maybe one of the other cuts leads people to believe that?

Anyway, it was definitely a unique experience and I'm glad I saw it, but its not one I'll be coming back to very often (although some of the weirdness is interesting enough that I will probably rewatch it eventually). I'm also slightly interested in the sequel, although I'll wait to see it on DVD.
 
The Producers (1968 film)

An ok film, with the two main characters being probably the best part of the movie.

Saw "Simulant" episode on Enterprise - Felt bad for "Sim" who had to die to help Cmdr. Tucker live. Really brought tears to my eyes when Dr. Phlox realized he was losing his "son". T'pol showed her emotional side when she kissed "Sim" (I think she realized that "Sim" had released Cmdr. Tuckers true feelings for her) and his funeral scene was a tear jerker, too (at least I thought so.) Very good episode.
