Re: Star Trek Odyssey 1x01 Iliad Discussion and Grading Thre
Overall...I gave it a "B" I've always liked the Voyager concept, but felt the actual "Voyager" poorly executed it, I liked the little common sense touches you guys added in, (security chief shuffling crew around, DAMAGE on the ship at the end of the ep!) Story was good, I'm neutral on the whole corey/ro relationship having only seen a couple of hidden frontier episodes. The Archians, hmmm, I'm kinda mixed on this one, at first, I was dissapointed that they were human looking, I was hoping that was only in the Milky Way that intelligent life was humanoid. I guess I was hoping for something really high concept and mind bending, something It would take me a few views to even "Get" what I was seeing as far as the archians went. But I understand this is a labor of love, and the budget is tight. Plus, the Archian Charicters were so well acted and done that I just went with it and bought into it and was entertained. My other nit is the Archian warship, LOOKS AWESOME, great design first off. but only foward firing weapons? maybe there whole tactic is flying out of a wormhole en masse and obliterating their target before it has a chance to respond...some of the acting was "offish" no I couldn't do better myself. but it was a little weak in some areas, plus Ro Having a nervous breakdown and really doubting himself at the end would have been cool, It could have been a charicter strentgh to have him build into an awesome captain as the series went on. Loved the romulan woman as well.all in all though, excellent show, will be looking for future eps.
