Here comes another revolutionary episode and the Mirror Universe is introduced! I knew it already thanks to Deep Space Nine, but now I finally discovered how the idea was born in this fourth episode of the second season of Star Trek: The Original Series entitled Mirror, Mirror. What can I say… I still feel overwhelmed … More Star Trek: TOS – S02E04, Mirror, Mirror
In This side of Paradise, the USS Enterprise heads to a rural colony on a planet that has recently been subjected to radiations which are lethal to humans called Berthold rays. No one responds to the communication attempts, so Kirk is convinced that he can’t find survivors. Surprisingly, once on the surface, all the 150 colonists … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E24, This Side Of Paradise
In Al di qua del Paradiso (This Side of Paradise il titolo originale) la USS Enterprise si dirige a una colonia su un pianeta che è stato recentemente soggetto ad un tipo di radiazioni letali per l’uomo (i raggi Berthold). Nessuno risponde ai tentativi di comunicazione, quindi Kirk è convinto di non trovare superstiti. Invece, una … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E24, Al di qua del Paradiso
I loved Get out (2017) and I went to the cinema to see Us with very high expectations. It turned out to be a mistake. It’s not that it’s a bad movie, not by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s not even particularly good as it’s a bit confusing and derivative. What a shame! … More Us: Movie Review
And here’s another episode with a mad scientist! After What are little girls made of? in which the good Dr. Korby had transferred himself into the body of an android and was dreaming of replacing humanity with a bunch of robots, in Dagger of the mind there’s a psychiatrist who for no reason at all … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E09, Dagger Of The Mind
It’s not easy to summarize this episode: there’s an intelligent part on what it takes to make a human being, there’s yet another Kirk duplicate as in The Enemy Within, Kirk is abducted for some vague reasons, there’s a love story with nurse Chapel (Majel Barrett) who had recently confessed his love for Spock (in … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E07, What Are Little Girls Made Of?
The title already says a lot about this episode: Mudd’s Women. It’s raw , crude, and it goes straight to the point, a bit like the plot of the episode itself. There is an abyss between the previous The Enemy Within, intelligently written by Richard Matheson, and this Mudd’s Women written by a naive (at … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E06, Mudd’s Women
And here’s the fifth episode, The Enemy Within, which is basically Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde, but Star Trek style. All in all it’s not a bad episode, but there’s a clear issue with the writing/editing, and it shows an unbelievable lack of sensitivity towards rape that feels very creepy. But let’s proceed in an orderly … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E05, The Enemy Within
Ed eccoci al quinto episodio, Il duplicato (The Enemy Within il titolo originale), ovvero il Dottor Jekill e Mr Hyde in salsa fantascientifica. Tutto sommato non un brutto episodio, ma con un chiarissimo errore di scrittura/montaggio e con una mancanza di sensibilità verso il tema dello stupro che mi ha fatto un po’ accapponare la … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E05, Il duplicato
