Psych: An Evening with Mr. Yang (2009)
disappointing spoiler s03e16
An excellent idea for a comedy show to try drama occasionally. Sadly it totally failed. The script was wrong on almost every level.
Where does it go wrong? Firstly a serial killer who doesn't kill? An episode with no deaths? Secondly Shawn and Gus keep up the gags and EXPLAIN to us this is how they work so don't hate them? Why should we? It's why we watch the show!
No suspense. The waitress didn't die? why? And where we seriously expected to believe Shawn's mother was going to die? I don't think so. Therefore no suspense.
The only time it achieves any dramatic interest was when he turns down a date with Julie because he was on a date! He then acted like a gentleman and grownup by lying to his date about why he was so put out. For a moment I thought he might tell her the truth put he made a joke.
In a word disappointing
Starhunter (2000)
star hunter 2300 - loved it
I haven't seen the first series so I can't comment. A friend sent the second series over. I put off watching it for ever but when I finally saw it I was in love! Obviously descended from Blake 7 but in a good way. Loved the raiders, wished there was more social stuff. Much better than firefly which is an obvious comparison. The acting and story telling are more restrained. I guess it is a matter of taste. Probably not sentimental enough for American viewers and not quite as raw as it could of been. Callen, for those older enough to remember did angst ridden better but this was an excellent try. Sort of like Forever knight in space. Loved the actors, the space ship, and most of all the stories. Could have done without the hyperspace. How I wish there was more. Once again shows that ideas are more important than money and this has plenty of ideas and given the limited budget they used them well.
