My thoughts about Interstellar:

There is something to be said for reading up on movies before you watch them. Usually I don't. I don't want to go into a movie with my expectations too high. But then again, not knowing anything may still set your expectations too high. In the case of Interstellar, I wish I had read more about it. If I had, then I wouldn't have bothered to watch it at all. I would have realized that it was not my cup of tea. That's not to say that it's a bad movie. I have no respect for people who dismiss a movie that millions of people love as crap. You should acknowledge that people have different tastes. I belong to the small minority that didn't like 2001 at all. So I should have realized that I wouldn't like Interstellar either. It looked darn impressive, and I liked some of the performances. Surprisingly, I didn't much care for Anne Hathaway. I've liked her before, but not here. Don't quite know why. So if by chance you haven't seen it yet, and you wonder what to trust, my two stars or IMDb's 8.7 score, I say ... Trust no one!

I rate this title

I just had to watch this great episode which was on the same disc as the previous one. Lt. Barcley is working on a project to establish contact with Voyager. After being kicked off the project because of a wild idea of his and because of his holo-addiction which makes him interact with the Voyager characters on the holodeck, he gets councelling by Deanna Troi. At the end he proves that his idea was right and Starfleet has two-way contact with Voyager for the first time. This episode also marks the first appearence of Admiral Paris.
I like the fact, that the Maquis members in Reggie's holodeck simulation all wear the clothes they wore in the pilot episode instead of a Starfleet uniform with different rank insignias.
