Big Sky (2020)
Compelling series, a little too "serial."
This is an awesome crime drama set in beautiful and rustic scenery. It's also great to see the beautiful and formidable Katheryn Winnick kick butt again since "Vikings" ended. Still had to deduct one star for the series being too "serial" in that all episodes and even from season to season are all one single story line and if you happen to miss one ep, you'll have lost track of the narrative for the next one. Interesting that every episode ends in a cliff hanger resolved in the very first scene of the next.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Neutral Zone (1988)
Hint at things to come?
The manner in which the Federation and Romulon outposts along the Neutral Zone were destroyed seems consistent with the work of the Borg. The Borg had yet to be encountered in the series at this point.
Dead Like Me: Nighthawks (2003)
Selecting the scenes is an art.
Some people disparage this episode as a review of past episodes, which relies on clips from those old eps to fill up space that could have been spent on original content. But such shows are a TV tradition and appear in all decent sit-coms.
The real art in this type of episode is to select the scenes that best make the point of the writer, and to spin a yarn in which it makes sense to do so. On both counts, this ep succeeds.
I would rate this ep in the center of the curve. Not too high for the reasons cited by the haters of the ep, but definitely better than they would judge all such episodes of good shows.
