My reaction
Concept:
Once again, the concept of the show as a whole is great, although the episode-by-episode concepts average out to much less - about 2.2/4.Story:
Rounded up from an average of about 1.8/4.Characters:
Average: about 1.7/4.Dialog:
Average: about 1.9/4.Pacing:
Average: about 2.2/4.Cinematography:
Average: 2.0/4.Special effects/design:
Average: 4.0/4. I suppose I was a lot more lenient on this category than I should have been. Whatever.Acting:
Average: about 2.1/4.Music:
Average: about 3.9/4.Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good,
). It hurts me. It hurts me to only give classic Star Trek a 7/10. But I've got to be honest. Well, no, if I was honest, it would get a 6/10, rounded up from an average of about 5.8. Thing is, there are no great episodes in season three. Some that I like quite a bit, but not a single great episode. And a surprising number of bad episodes. This whole looking at, and keeping record of my reaction to, every episode individually is quite revealing.Objective Rating (Average):
