Marry Me (2022)
Three words
Predictable. Suck. Fest.
Oh. Gee. I need to have 150 characters to submit a review.
I just can't see how I can find enough words to describe just how god-awful this steaming pile of crap is.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: Symbiosis (1988)
Just give 'em some Naloxone
Of all of the TNG episodes, this one has always been one of my least favorites. In fact, I have had nothing but disdain for this one. I almost stopped watching the series after this was initially broadcast.
Why?
The whole drugs-are-bad-just-say-no nonsense just oozed Nancy Reagan at her unleveled-headed worst. The actors who played the addicts were just barely convincing.
I've skipped over this episode almost as much as skipping over DS9.

Welcome to Flatch (2022)
Give it a chance
From where I'm sitting, those who are giving this less than five stars and seriously negative reviews are people who have only watched the first episode. I've watched all seven (currently available via streaming), and it has potential. As a rule, I generally give a new show three or four episodes before deciding. If you're a fan of Paul Feig's work, you'll know what to expect - quirky, absurd and off-beat.
This show isn't a dig at small-town America, nor is it a knock-off of Somebody Somewhere. I grew up in a small town, so it's kind of relatable.
I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Enterprise: Marauders (2002)
Mel Brooks Should Sue.
Let's create a perfect replica of the settlement so we can help the settlers and miners.
Seriously?
The only thing missing was the reverend praying "Oh, lord are you going help us to be successful, or are we just jacking off?"
I've liked the series up to this point, so far, but this is one episode I'll pass over the next time around.
Star Trek: Discovery: The Vulcan Hello (2017)
Way Too Much Lens Flare
I'm barely through this, the first episode, and I'm already completely annoyed by all of the lens flare. This is exactly what turned me off to the JJ Abrams. Star Trek series. Decent story, but come on - back away from all the goddamn lens flare already.
Strange Empire (2014)
The Worst Thing to come out of Canada since... The Final Sacrifice.
Oh, Canada.
What were you thinking when you green-lighted this bargain-basement attempt at producing a "PG" rated version of Deadwood? I managed to suffer through a total of about 2 hours of the overall 10 or so. This was after forcing myself, ala Clockwork-Orange-style to sit through the first episode. I'm honestly stuck trying to figure out what was the absolute worst part of this series: The horrendous over-acting, the first-year-of-school-lighting, the "I'd-like-to-take-a-shot" approach to directing, the "Oh, gee, they did this on whatever western I watched last week" writing style, or the lack of anything that even resembled historical accuracy.
If you have a choice between this and a root canal without Novocaine, take the root canal. At least the dialog and the acting will be more authentic than this worthless waste of time.
Since I made a reference to The Final Sacrifice, (1990), I should point out that this film was bad enough to get the MST3K treatment eight years later. Strange Empire couldn't be saved by the folks behind MST3K, it sucks that much.
