Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Genuinely terrible film
It took me two days to get through this mind numbingly stupid movie because it has no plot to speak of. Things happen because the script says they happen. People say things because the lines were on the page they were given. 1960s Scooby Doo cartoons have more substance than this mind numbing pablum. The protagonist is called "the one" by her alternate reality husband (at least we know the writers have seen The Matrix), but she isn't smart enough to keep the books on a laundromat, operate a computer or know what a business expense is so she's in constant trouble with the IRS (which has nothing to do with anything else that happens BTW). But, for "reasons" she is the central figure in the saving the multiverse from her own daughter who is an obvious rip off of Harley Quinn. There is nothing original or thought provoking about this travesty.
The Expanse (2015)
Did they fire the writers from Seasons 1-4?
The Expanse started strong and seasons 1-4 were spectacular sci-fi. Season 5 doesn't feel like the same show. It's almost entirely people sitting in offices talking. Maybe COVID shut down production of any scenes that would have been interesting.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
Who writes this junk?
Can't get past the first episode. They're hundreds of years in the future and have FTL drive but they have to send a suited crewmember into a debris field to take pictures. Someone should have packed a GoPro and a couple of remote control drones, and maybe a telephoto camera. This doesn't remotely qualify as science fiction. Do any of the writers have even the slightest bit of interest in science or any real world experiences to draw on?
Stargate Universe (2009)
What happened to all of the technology?
This series is supposed to take place in the Stargate Universe and after the other two series. Where is all of the technology that Stargate Command has been accumulating for years? Why can't they figure out how to control a ship that predates all of the technology they already figured out how to control in Stargate Atlantis? Why is the ship smart enough to know how to defend itself, when to stop and fix itself, but not smart enough to interact with it's occupants? It's supposed to be fantastically advanced computer technology after all, where's the AI? Why does a ship that can FLY THROUGH A STAR to replenish it's power need to turn the lights off to conserve energy? How does a ship that can FLY THROUGH A STAR get damaged and holes cut in it by tiny alien ships full of blue fish men? This ship has been traveling for a million years or hundreds of thousands of years (it seems to change form episode to episode) so why the hard time limit for stops? I mean it's supposedly stopping because something they need that is on a nearby planet but it always, sadistically gives them barely enough time to get whatever it is that the ship stopped so they could get. Let's be honest BSG did very well and this is a ripoff of it to the point that the producers and writes just don't care about all of the inconsistencies. The Stargate audience was supposed to just go along no matter how absurd it got.
