Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Spock Amok

Following the tense and dramatic “Memento Mori,” Star Trek: Strange New Worlds shift gears for a far lighter episode featuring the Enterprise in space dock that turns out to be the best episode of the series so far. The title of the episode comes from the arrival of Spock’s fiancé T’Pring (Gia Sandhu). In an attempt to bridge the gap between them and understand each other’s position, the Vulcans take part in a ritual that unintentionally swaps their consciousness into each other’s bodies. Despite neither being happy about it, hijinks ensue as Spock (who is actually T’Pring in Spock’s body) is needed in delicate trade negotiations with the R’ongovian Protectorate and T’Pring (who is actually Spock in T’Pring’s body) is called into duty to help with a Vulcan who will only meet with her.

“Dragons of the Undead” is all about getting the shyest member of Dragon Club some confidence as Alex (Aimee Garcia) is forced to step-up after her dragon Feathers is kidnapped by what the kids mistake for a crowd of zombie dragons. The truth to the dragons turns out to be far different that what appearance may suggest. The look of the dragons works, even if that means we get stuck with D’Angelo (Marcus Scribner) thinking he might be turning into a zombie in what becomes the episode’s running gag. Thanks to Alex’s quick thinking, Feathers is saved, and their work together helps uncover the true nature of the strange dragons.

Wrath of Man

  • Title: Wrath of Man
  • IMDb: link

Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham unite for a by-the-numbers revenge flick. Statham stars as a notorious violent crime lord who takes a job as the new security guard for an armored car company that has been the target of several recent robberies, including one that killed his son. It doesn’t take long for the other members of the company to discover H (Statham) is way overqualified for the job and there’s obviously something more to the story of what he’s doing there (which will be exposed slowly in a series of flashbacks that lead to inevitable questions of how blind everyone working for the company is in not recognizing H).
