Star Trek: Voyager: False Profits (1996)
Ahh... greed
Probably as good an episode as any to note the contention, the illogic that is Janeway's segways. Will get involved because the Ferengi tainted the culture. An impressionable culture (Prime Directive-ish).
Oh, but the dramatic Ferengi say the prople will miss them (you mean, the people that had their cultural trajectory hicacked? Another verse in the them on correcting the interferred with culture. So, what does Janeway do then? This still substantiates the evil, so of course what she does is... send them back to the planet. What??
Over and over is the Federation contradiction of get the most advanced weaponry to never use them. Rabid people that do not want you around and want to kill others asking for your protection.. what to do? Oh, just talk with them. When we're not blasting them, which will lead to saying sorry.
Really tired of that dichotomy, which is represent the most in Voyager series.
Oh, and... maybe.... get close to a worm hole when you're about wanting to jump in fast? Just a thought.
Oh, and why is their every kind of medical discipline on board these ships, even counselors, but never a Speech Pathologist (SLP for voice disorders and over pronunciation of stage diction type personnel)?
Star Trek: Voyager (1995)
Still trying to watch
Giving the complete run a start. Still encountering some of the original issues for me. Like seeing some of the characters I only saw from periodically turning it on during later seasons; so I get to see origin, which they did right away it seems. Still helps to follow as I watch and for my favorite characters. That is, hope to watch. My project of finally seeing all of the Voyager seasons is already hitting the same unfortunate nebula wall for me. Yeah, some of the plot holes on situations that didn't make sense, or seem could have been remedied more factually. Not even the campy episodes, which I know would encounter and so can excuse, as the Trek flare up that is in all of the series (although getting a little concerning as still in every new episode so far, but hoping will be more grounded later seasons. No, the same main grating issue that my make me have to abandon the mission of watching Voyager is... The Janeway captain. OMG that gravelly voice. Is what kept me away before (well, okay, and some of the actions as well). I'm thinking a show runner maybe thought, "let's only just rev up this Katharine Hepburn look even more!" as season one progresses ( check it out... even the hair style, and of course she had the voice, but not this much!)
So... I'm going to keep giving it a go, since I know the style changes later on, and the only series I haven't seen yet. But unfortunate to see right out of the gate; already hitting the fast forward button I tried to not.
Good to have favorite characters for maintenance and helps to know will be more to develop later seasons.

Destination Fear (2019)
Same Hollywood dope
Even in Canada, and after the 2012 series... let's do the angle again! Along with the dozen other "para" shows out there, that never show anything, some on 6th year, always suck viewers in on an illusion, "maybe next time!", cuz current mentality would. It's a studio production! You think actors are sincere? And this one is only using sound. Unbelievable. Blair Witch tech. dumbed down. Unreal.
Same twenty somethings (how they get pitched production, no idea), running around with $1000 equipment, in a $100k RV, because doesn't ever twentysomething have that?
Ueah... that's about right.
Hope this gets canceled soon.
"Hey, Travel Channel, I got stuff from Oregon State Univ. (used to be a civil war depot) that would freak you out! But I need an RV so I can do my hair between shoots (and the assistant throwing items).
Final Score (2018)
same retribution recipe
Same overdone rescue/action formula. And yet... do some more! And, make it really extra benign to appeal to the masses, I guess. Writers... care? Think people are stupid? Are you kidding... they obviously don't care, and yes, they do know the goers will watch anything. "Motorcycle scene done badly? Dude, here's 20... give me a ticket!"
"Everything but the obvious? Let me in! I forgot I don't care."
But, in attempt to deliberately not do any content... at least have some make sense.
Uh, keep a SAS team in a helicopter. Whatever you do, don't let them do their rope deploy thing to the roof and help.
Oh, and scoreboard tied to bomb? Gee, I don't know. Maybe covertly tell to stop the score clock due to a crises? nah....
