Sisko and O'Brien land on a planet filled with people who have rejected all technology. scared

O'Brien seems to be getting a lot of screen time lately. Is it to make up for him only ever getting about three lines in The Next Generation? dunno

I suppose that after about 130 viewings Wendi might realise that it's rubbish. yes

I still don't have a telly. bawl

And it isn't rubbish. It totally reinvents the rules of drama. rant

Plot, structure, logic and coherent characterisation are all dispensed with in Ridley Scott's new story-telling paradigm.

He majestically proves that none of that is necessary as long as you have a woman in it with a pleasing voice.

Have you seen the new one? Maybe at the cinema or some other such place?

You mean he's gone and done it again? And they always claim you can't recapture lightning in a bottle. Excited

Wikipedia wrote:
Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com highly praised Alien: Covenant, giving it four out of four stars, and stating that the film's structure, although repeatedly borrowing from the Alien films, serves a purpose not unlike the James Bond film series or Star Wars, "where part of the fun lies in seeing what variations the artists can bring while satisfying a rigid structure." He also emphasized that like previous films of the series, real-world logic should not be applied to the film, and "[i]nstead you have to judge it by the standards of a fever dream or nightmare, a Freudian-Jungian narrative where the thing you fear most is what happens to you.

Sounds terrible!

And the review knows nothing of Freud's ~~pseudo-scientific b*ll*cks~~ writing either. Possibly Jung, dunno about that.
