I'm back! It's been missed for quite a few weeks due to poor physical and mental health but I'm back!
Too bad it was this episode
It's just not my favourite. It's not the worst thing I've seen but not the best either
The story isn't a horrible concept but Shatner's acting was....variable to be kind and shit to be unkind.
Frankly it only ranked as high it did in some categories because of unicorn dog.
The sexual assault scene was difficult to watch. I understand it's place in the story and I appreciate how they handled it and how they were not at all depicting it was a positive thing. Still fucking hated it though
So saying that, the scores:
Story: 7/10 - it's a Jekyll and Hyde inspired story and the added pressure of the crew on the planet needing to be saved was a decent story line
Acting: 5/10 - it's this high because mainly the other actors didn't deserve such a low score
Cheese: 8.5/10 - UNICORN DOG. Also the moment evil Kirk in intense eyeliner first turned to the camera with dramatic lining was really funny. Evil Kirk had a lot of funny moments
Enjoyment: 3/10 - not my fav episode at all
Effects: 3/10 - they couldn't get a double that at least looked a little like Shatner?
Charm: 4/10 - all of that is Unicorn Dog
Cringe: -8/0 - that one scene was awful. Also why do all evil entities in the galaxy hit on that one Yeoman?
Aged Like Milk: -1/0 - mostly the lighting, acting and directing choices
Why did you release Killian Jones and the Jolly Roger?
Did I? Don't be fooled, mate. My dear captain and his jolly crew are still very much a part of the game. My control hasn't dwindled simply because the location has changed.
It's amusing to watch people live under the delusion that they have a free will once they leave here. Everyone is exactly where I want them. Don't forget that.
Sorry not sorry, but the scene where kagome just pulls the magic heirloom sword free like it's no big deal after watching these two strong ass grown demons struggle and fail is peak comedy.
