Galaxy Quest, a review by DJ Doena

Tim Allen    ...    Jason Nesmith
Sigourney Weaver   ...    Gwen DeMarco
Alan Rickman   ...    Alexander Dane
Tony Shalhoub   ...    Fred Kwan
Sam Rockwell   ...    Guy Fleegman

Robin Sachs   ...    Sarris

Synopsis: Jason Nesmith is a former TV star who played the role of "Commander Taggart" in a show called "Galaxy Quest". Now he attends conventions, gives autographs and opens electronic stores. His co-stars aren't doing much better. But then some real aliens come to Jason in the believe that all the stories about the "N.S.E.A. Protector" and its crew are also real. And they need him and his crew to save their race.

My Opinion: I've been a Star Trek for a long time but I've never been that fanatic that I can't enjoy a good parody or homage like this one or the german "USS Highlander" movies. I especially liked the well chosen cast with Tim Allen as Shatner copy (when the stone alien ripped his shirt off, he even walked like Shatner in TOS ), Rickman who is this Shakespeare actor and basically hates his GQ role by now, the tough Alien woman Weaver who is now doomed to repeat the computer and Rockwell as prototypical Redshirt. And of course the geeky fans who dissect every episode for canonical errors.

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

7. Bachelor Party
Original Air Date: 11/16/1999


Guest Stars:
Kristin Dattilo
Carlos Jacott
Ted Kairys
Chris Tallman

My Thoughts:
A good episode... we find out a bit about Doyle's past in this one. Cordelia is really starting to like Doyle by now. But at this point she still don't know he is part demon. At the very end of this episode Doyle has a vision about Buffy... so this must be the prelude to the first time Angel goes back to Buffy for an episode.

My Rating:
