Book Rating
Read this on holiday after watching Season 1 on Netflix. As an avid reader, I usually enjoy the book more than the movie/tv show as it has more details, more story, but in this case I didn't enjoy the book as much as the show. I just didn't get the same feeling from the book. It might have been different if I'd read the book first, but I don't know what was different this time.

Blatantly disregards canon, full of unlikable characters, nauseating camera work (0 more)
STINO (Star Trek In Name Only)
This show opened with a mission to violate the Prime Directive, and just went downhill from there. If you want to see Star Trek, watch The Orville.

Love this series
This is a great book. I never thought that I would of liked a book like this so much but I fell in love with the characters and the writing. I can not wait for the next book or for the next season to the TV show.

Epic
I don't know what I can say other than "wow this is incredible" to sum up this book. Hard to choose between this and The Ocean at the End if the Lane as his best, but remains one of the best novels ever written.

Superheroes, time travel, doughnuts and talking chimps
Contains spoilers, click to show
Another day another superhero tv show - right?? Well this one is really something special. Was hooked from episode 1. The best way I can describe it is a not as dark watchmen tv series. Bunch of kids with powers adopted by man who turns them into a superhero team. Years later they reunite when their 'father' dies. Then happens time travel, drugs, assassins, talking chimps, bird watching, robots, JFK conspiracies, the apocalypse and doughnuts! Like watchmen this has an amazing soundtrack which adds to the quality of the show. This would get 10 out of 10 but I just find Ellen Page terrible and every scene with her just made me cringe so (SPOILER) when she turns out to be the villain (sort of) I was quite pleased!! Watch this show!!!
