Yes, damn that illness in 2018! Soooooo close. I would have preferred another go at London rather than Berlin again, but having him come back to Europe was way, way beyond what I expected anyway.

Musically right?

I LOVED the ending. But the film wasn't quite worth the payoff. Oh, and that truck chase! OK, two things I loved about the film.

Terry Matalas explains what went wrong with season 2, and also reveals some things that didn't make season 3.
 
Some quotes that stuck out for me:

I’ll watch it because it’s Star Trek and if it’s good then I’ll be happy.
 
The thing is, origin stories for certain aspects of Star Trek mythology would almost certainly be better as flashback episodes of shows set in TNG and beyond era. Even if the reason for the flashback was a bit cheesy… some “contemporary” issue where the origin provides a parallel that informs the “present” being the most obvious approach. Or time travel. Or a long lived alien they encounter. Or whatever someone with more imagination than me can think of. 
 
That way you get little glimpses of the history of the Star Trek universe without it being  the sole reason for the show or film’s existence. I mean First Contact effectively did that with the first warp flight and meeting the Vulcans. It didn’t need to be an entire show or film set in that era (ie with a brand new cast). 

The weird thing there is that, by the rules of time travel that Dark Fate established (Skynet future stuff arriving into a timeline where Skynet does not exist any more for years afterward until the REV-9 and Grace appear) they actually had a way to sidestep John's death. All they'd have to have said was nobody else volunteered to be a protector, so John went back himself.
 
Not that it matters now anyway. The next film looks to be a total reset, without any of the characters or settings of the previous films.

Wouldn't this just be a 'prequel', and not a 'prequel to the Kelvin films' given it's supposed to take place decades before? Therefore, it'd be a prequel to all Star Trek series bar Enterprise.

Received the CD yesterday. They mention John Williams building in the liner notes.
 
Listening to the score this morning. Really fun and solid work. Between the original, Afterlife and this you have a nice Bernstein trilogy.

Yeah I disagree that Beyond “didn’t click with fans.” I think most people waited for it to stream, but the fans who actually saw it, generally seem to have liked it.

Yep. All I got to say to Sony about releasing it when they did is...
 

Just saw it. Loved it. Really bummed that it's doing so poorly. It deserves better.

It was a huge mistake for Sony to release it when they did.

TBF there are better examples to pick from Ant-Man. I'm sure MODOK looked EXACTLY as stupid as they wanted him to.

Saw the film today, basically it’s Kong’s Story but it was mindless Showa Style fun. The pace was good, just enough human interaction to catch your breath between the monster mayhem.
 
The music was a slight improvement, they used an orchestra as well this time.  But there moments where it sounded like cheesy 80’s synth. 
 
I don’t understand how they claim Godzilla’s original music wouldn’t work but then allow a lousy pastiche version to represent Godzilla and someone else. 
 
I'm disappointed that as the films progressed they moved away from the tone of the 2014 film and Skull Island too. 
 
I’d give this one 3 out of 5 stars. 

You keep his name outta your f***ing mouth!
 
 
 (in case you thought that I was insulting you)

Listening to Desplat's G14. It's really good, isn't it?

You mean the Academy Award winning, highest-grossing OG Godzilla of all time? Nah

And an expanded release session dump of Rogue One!

They said yes to the Wrong John.

It's not our fault that they took the decision to cancel AotC instead of doing it the right way.

No jokes today, just an unfortunate apparent reality.
