Can’t say I’m surprised Scream 7 sucks the big one, i lost interest when Christopher Landon’s version fell apart

My 40th Birthday is in just over a month and it’s making me wish I still had some friends around to celebrate it with

Mark Kermode reviews Scream 7 www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZZ0...

A new VHS arrival that I think was called “The Bus that Couldn’t Slow Down”👇

Quark to Worf: “Keikos gonna have another baby” Worf: “Now” (Worf delivered Molly in TNG’s Disaster and Accession delivers a great call back to that episode and Michael Dorns timing sells the scene very well)

The better storyline in Sons of Mogh is about the Klingons secretly mining the Bajoran star system to cut it off from the rest of the quadrant

Flashback Friday 👇

Sons of Mogh is a very disappointing episode, Tony Todd was great as Kurn on TNG and had excellent chemistry with Dorn he deserved as good an exit as he got in Final Destination Bloodlines last year

Bar Association is a great Ferengi episode that highlights a big shift in Rom’s character arc as he learns to get out of Quark’s shadow like Nog did

So another legacy studio is folded into another because of greed, A sad day for film fans the world over

RIP Rob Grant, Red Dwarf has made me laugh a lot over the years and it’s quartet of characters are still memorable for me today 😔

A horror film worth watching this weekend is Christopher Landon’s Drop the movie he took on after his Scream VII fell apart, It’s a very enjoyable horror/thriller that uses a single location very well

Rene Auberjonois does a great job selling Odo’s heartbreak that Kira loves Shakaar though Quark was correct, He had to tell Kira how he felt about her or leave it be and move on with his life

Odo loves Kira, Odo loves Kira

The making of Speed 2 has become one of those where all involved were like "We really didn't want to make it and knew it would suck" and Reeves was like "Yeah I'm good" and passed on making it

A flaming fun compilation of Alf Stewart yelling from Home and Away m.youtube.com/watch?v=0blt...

The latter, he should've owned up to the mistake regarding his choice of phrase much better than he has, Grace is who she is, she's forthright and doesn't hide it nor does she hide who she is

Speed 2 should’ve been so much better than it was, a mix of the first film and the Poseidon Adventure would’ve been great but alas we got what we got

Homefront and Paradise Lost were meant to bridge Season 3 and Season 4 of DS9 before Paramount wanted it changed and we got The Adversary to end S3 and The Way of the Warrior to open S4 instead, It’s a minor miracle S4 is as good as it is as the Dominion and Klingon storylines conflict at times

Pa Sisko is right, if he was a Changeling an old chef would be the last thing he would want to imitate, He’s also right when he says you won’t catch Changelings using some gadget, you’ll only spot them out by knowing the person their imitating better than they do

The TNG cadet uniforms were much better than the ones in DS9, they actually looked like proper uniforms as opposed to grey pyjamas

DS9’s Homefront introduces Ben Sisko’s father played by Brock Peters from Voyage Home and Undiscovered Country, The character was referenced in The Alternate in Season 2 but here you meet him in the flesh

Something that both TNG and DS9 use well is Michael Dorn’s comic timing, he has a great knack for humorous moments

Mortal Kombat II looks like a lot of fun, hopefully we get some more Kano goodness like in the first film

Our Man Bashir sees Bashir as James Bond and is great Bashir/Garak episode that also makes use of the other crew members in unexpected ways, This holosuite program wouldn’t appear much after this episode as MGM/UA were very unhappy with the Bond esque holosuite program

“I am as far beyond Klingons as they are beyond you” (John Colicos voiced Apocalypse in the X-Men animated series)

It's a real shame that Michael DVD was shut down, that place was a fantastic archive of DVD release dates here in Australia

@antoinettelattouf.bsky.social Good work on We Used to be Journos today Antoinette

The Sword of Kahless was the first episode of Season 4 to properly use Worf after Way of the Warrior as the other episodes had barely featured the character as they felt like they were ready to go before Worf was added to the show

Nog is now off to Starfleet Academy but Quark and Rom are taking him there, Little Green Men also marks the first use of Waste Extraction which is the closest Trek ever got to naming a bathroom/toilet

The Sunday episode is worth watching, it shows the more things change the more they stay the same

More of this please in 2026

Watching Crime 101 on Saturday, hope it’s good 🤞🤞

The early episodes of DS9 Season 4 were clearly thought out before Worf was added to the show as he barely features in those episodes after Way of the Warrior

David and Margaret review Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 1999 www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/wat...

1999 is remembered as an iconic movie year but boy were there some high profile duds that year, Looking at you Phantom Menace, Spy Who Shagged Me and Wickity Wickity Wild Wild West

The best thing about Wickity Wickity Wild Wild West (and the only reason I went to see the movie in 1999) www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zXK...

Rejoined is one of the few attempts in this era of Trek to touch on sexuality which was barely touched upon during those years because of both Rick Berman not wanting to do it all that much and the restrictions of Syndication where markets would air the show at different times

A show to show your fam @literaryminded.bsky.social

I’m sorry Dr Bashir but Chief O’Brien is right about the Jem’Hadar they are killing machines and breaking them of the white could’ve made them even more dangerous and that is a risk that can’t be taken

Season 4 of Star Trek Deep Space Nine also saw the creation of a new title sequence and a shorter more action packed version of the main theme both of which would stay in place until the end of the series

Had to get a new VHS of Jagged Edge hopefully this one gets the thumbs up from the LG VCR Video Doctor

Halle Berry in the Criterion closet is worth a watch, That woman has aged like a fine wine 😍

The Way of the Warrior is an excellent start to Season 4 of Deep Space Nine, it has an exciting action climax and ups the stakes in the Alpha Quadrant, The addition of Worf to the show was also well done

The Klingons invading a sovereign system in Cardassia based on little tangible evidence probably didn’t resonate much in 1995 but in 2003 when Way of the Warrior it would’ve been much more resonant

Tonight's earworm www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSyv...

The Klingons have threatened Kasidy Yates (the Sisko’s new girlfriend) and her ship, The Sisko hopes you die honourably but should any Klingon wish to beg for mercy the Sisko will listen to their pleas

Kira not having an imagination and learning to have one is a nice addition to her character, This is a woman who grew up under Cardassian occupation and learned to fight from a young age

Avery Brooks finally got to be bald on Deep Space Nine starting with Season 4 of the show, Season 4 also saw the addition of Worf on the show which I hated when I first watched the show in 2005, Worfs addition was seen as a move by Paramount to boost the shows ratings
