I’ve now finished the second disc of the first season, and I think writing an article for each disc is a good rhythm for Westworld. The series is very dense and covers an incredible number of topics, especially regarding artificial intelligence and artificial consciousness. Yes, artificial intelligence and artificial consciousness are two entirely different things… — read more

Stargate as a whole and Stargate SG-1 (SG1) in particular is another series that helped me through a difficult time. This is also the reason why I refuse to watch the series on Freevee, as the commercial breaks are simply incredibly exhausting and unbearable. Furthermore, I still find it extremely sad that Stargate Universe (SGU)… — read more

I’ve now finished the first three episodes (one disc, as I’m watching the whole thing on DVD) and I’ve totally forgotten how good this series is. What you notice immediately is the pacing, because even if you already know what it’s about, the build-up is relatively slow and takes its time. You’re meant to understand… — read more

What I have to say about Westworld or how I find the series is not quite simple, because somehow it would simultaneously imply that other sci-fi series are not particularly good, which I absolutely do not mean to say. But let’s give it a try. Westworld in its series form, thereby excluding the 1973 film,… — read more

Warehouse 13 is such a lovely mystery feel-good series. The stories are told in an exciting way, the setting is interesting but not overly cluttered, and there are fascinating connections to historical events and even some urban legends like the Philadelphia Experiment. Add to that an extremely likable cast of characters who aren’t too stiff… — read more

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

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

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

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

With the frequency I started posting at the beginning, I need to dial it back a bit because I can’t really keep up anymore! Especially since I started writing too late, so I’m now further ahead in watching than in writing, which doesn’t make things any easier. On top of that, I’m not writing directly… — read more
