The Blacklist IV
The beginning of the second season has an altered and slightly confused feel. This is not only because Tom is still present somewhere, but also because Liz has to hide. Reddington too, of course, but that’s not really something new for him. We’ve also gained Samar Navabi as a team member. Naturally, she isn’t just… — read more

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine XI
In my last post, I was almost at the end of the fifth season, and now I’ve reached it. First, we get “Empok Nor” (S05E24), an episode that once again deserves a big compliment to the set designers. The usual station must be rebuilt again to represent DS9’s sister station, Empok Nor. This episode also… — read more

The Blacklist III
Of course, the father-daughter dynamic between Elizabeth and Reddington is somehow clear from the first episode; it simply emerges from the constellation. However, the series repeatedly leaves you in the dark about the extent to which they are actually related or not. After Reddington kills Elizabeth’s adoptive father, though, the whole thing takes a new… — read more

The Blacklist II
Now, due to ongoing lack of planning, I’ve ended up starting The Blacklist. Although I had my finger on the button to start LOST, Netflix immediately showed me The Blacklist, and that’s where I landed. I didn’t feel quite ready for LOST yet; somehow, I want to save that for later. But right off the… — read more

The Blacklist
I used to really enjoy watching The Blacklist because the concept of a top villain ratting out all his colleagues was quite interesting. Unfortunately, it then took a strange direction, as suddenly Reddington wasn’t Reddington, then he was again, and then suddenly he was Elizabeth’s father. I liked that she then became suspicious and there… — read more

New Material II
And once again, a few new additions have joined my collection. Of course, they are once again illustrious series, but this time we’re going all the way back to 1993 in terms of production year. Personally, I wouldn’t mind going even further back, but that quickly becomes prohibitively expensive. Sleepy Hollow At first, I had… — read more

New Material I
Yes, we live in the age of streaming services, and a few years ago, even before it all started, I had already begun not only watching films and series digitally but also buying them. Initially with Apple, which turned out to be a mistake due to Apple’s policies, and then with Amazon Prime. Calling it… — read more

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine X
Something that I noticed right from the start of Star Trek: Voyager is the very diverse aliens introduced with DS9. While TNG had already gone some wild ways, Voyager and DS9 take it to a whole new level. Physical characteristics are shaped, for example, by various environmental conditions or developments. In humans, this is noticeable… — read more

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine IX
Although the fourth season already shows the first signs of the war looming on the horizon, it still takes care of some characters before heading into battle. With Worf joining the station, providing another link to TNG, this character must first be thoroughly explored. This happens partly with Dax, but Worf also gets his own… — read more

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine VIII
In my last post, we wrapped up season two, and season three doesn’t take long to hit hard with all its events. What was previously hinted at cautiously now reveals its cruel face in the form of the Jem’Hadar. Personally, I find the Jem’Hadar even more intense than the Borg. They’re ruthless warriors with nothing… — read more
