Young Sheldon: Funeral (2024)
Extremely strong depictions of grief
I would have never expected Young Sheldon to be the show to get me to cry, I never cry to television. Grave of the fireflies wasn't enough, hachiko nearly did, but this got me there. It does an extremely good job of depicting how different people grieve, especially how children and young adults deal with it. I want to give special praise to how they depicted Sheldon's grief and how others react to it. Extremely well done.
Intermitting the points of grief with comedy allows the show to really breathe. You get to appreciate the character development that has gone into the show. Rarely does a season finale get to be this complete.
Enterprise: Horizon (2003)
Data in Enterprise?
I have never seen more robotic acting in a Star Trek episode. Anthony Montgomery appears to be trying to make all his lines sound a little extra regurgitated, seemingly reading off a teleprompter. Both Pringle and Parker - playing his mother and brother respectively - are significantly more charismatic and convincing in their roles, despite being on the show only temporarily.
The episode is flawed in many other ways, but Montgomery's abysmal display of acting, or rather lack thereof, puts the final nails in the coffin. The subplot of T'pol seeing Frankenstein is about a thousand times more interesting.
