"Whats The Nature Of The Medical Emergency".

Advantages: Brilliant Extras, Smart Looking Case, 5.1 DD Re-Master, Good Value
Disadvantages: 4:3 Aspect Ratio, Two Original Episodes Missing.

For the first time ever, Star Trek Voyager is on DVD, and wow, what a difference it is to video! Season 1 comprises of six discs, which are contained in a very posh sleek box made of hard plastic. This really is of high quality compared to the region 1 version, the writing on the outside of the box is in silver, and inside it is all padded so the discs don’t slip around in their sleeves. (See the pics)! The discs are contained in open plastic sleeves ...

Deep Space Nine - Season 3

Advantages: Fantastic Episodes
Disadvantages: None

This season of Deep Space Nine is one of my all time favourites with some excellent episodes. Set in the year 2371 with the dominion emerging as a force that will have to be reckoned with. Some brilliant episodes, the best I think being Past Tense which is a double episode, where Sisko, Jadzia and Bashir are stuck back on earth in the year 2024 where the idea of what happens if the government and the people just put all the unemployed and people ...
...rest of the world and conviently forgotten about! Another great episode is Facets with Dax gets to meet her previous hosts, which creates an interesting character for Odo to become! Two episodes with special guest appearances, Jonathan Frakes returns as Will Riker in one and the delightful Lwaxana Troi returns for an episode with Odo. The other great episode in this is Second Skin - where Kira wakes up to find herself surically altered to be a cardassian ...

The Coming of Shadows

Advantages: Great story, good characters, dark and gritty (just the way it!)
Disadvantages: Occasional dodgy CGI

...we are again with another Babylon 5 review from yours truly. The Coming of Shadows is the title of one of the episodes and also the overall title for Series 2. WHAT IS BABYLON 5? Babylon 5 is a space station set up to further peace in the galaxy in the late 2250's. It sits in neutral territory and is peopled, aside of the human staff and crew, largely by diplomats and businessmen of a bewildering array of alien species. In the first series we were ...
...replaces as Station Head of Babylon 5, fought during the Earth-Minbari war. Sheridan gained fame when, after the death of the ship's Captain, he took control of the Agememnon and destroyed the Minbari Warship 'The Black Star', the only Minbari warship lost during the war. This earned Sheridan the nickname 'Star Destroyer' among the Minbari. Claerly then, his appointment as the Commander of Babylon 5 was bound to upset the Minbari. However, Sheridan ...

Review of Twelve Monkeys (DVD)

Saving the universe when your grandad was in diapers!

Advantages: Great effects and a wonderful cross over cast
Disadvantages: I would love to have seen more of the Enterprise 'B'

...of two of the greatest star fleet captains is done with great thought and a tremendous script. The film opens with a bottle of champagne floating effortlessly through space until it hits the side of the Enterprise B...an Excelsior class ship. Now I was delighted to see this as one, I didn't know much about the Enterprise B and two, the Excelsior class has always been my favourite kind of starship...it was just such a jump up from the original Enterprise. ...
...members of his merry crew are there to celebrate the inaugural flight of this great ship. After the ceremony, recorded by loads of journalists (which is a GREAT moment - 'Captain Kirk, how do you feel about being on the bridge of the new Enterprise?.... oh fine...fine' There is of course the usual emergency situation. Now I don't want to spoil the film or the main events of the story but I am safe to say that the disaster introduces us to a much ...
