No one knows me anyway. <br /><br />I never mentioned the actor's weight. I think she is very pretty. I am also female. I don't care if a story has a female overture. My favourite characters in Trek were always female. I would never be so rude as to mention someone's weight. <br /><br />I just happen to think from what I saw that doctor isn't acted at all well. I keep expecting her to pull a folded up paper from her sleeve with the lines written on it.Imzadinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781097081383681822.post-72684603517124181462011-02-10T07:07:54.017-08:002011-02-10T07:07:54.017-08:00I haven't written my review of Penumbra yet, b...I haven't written my review of Penumbra yet, but I have to say there's a LOT of action in it, you clearly just quit too soon. The show is centered on the female cast, and perhaps that is not what you enjoy. I also disagree with you about the Doctor's acting abilities. Some people just don't want to look at an overweight woman, and that is all they can see. Perhaps that, and not her acting, is your real issue. I do notice that you did not sign your name to your comment. I hope you'll think about what you say, and consider signing your name to whatever your say. If it's not good enough for you to put your name on it, it's probably not worth other people's time to read.<br /><br />-- Barbara Reader<br />-- Star Trek ReviewedBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610107924714620889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781097081383681822.post-73507457879530674142011-02-08T10:36:49.289-08:002011-02-08T10:36:49.289-08:00I watched the first 2 episodes and enjoyed them. t...I watched the first 2 episodes and enjoyed them. they had many good parts and faults. generally it was an intriguing tail and a very cool concept.<br /><br />I gave this episode till half way before stopping watching. It was all talk, talk, talk! Even TNG's most "talky" shows threw in a little action or changed the pace, and had some interesting camera "ankles"<br /><br />As fascinating as this regards the Section31 coup you have to wonder if this is Star Trek at all. It looked like Star Trek but it felt more like Babylon 5.<br /><br />The female doctor CANNOT act- I'm sorry- but she can't- and her wig is more believable, which is really saying something. The Vulcan ambassador is a caricature at best. <br /><br />At the end of the day Star Trek is money making TV series that is there to entertain. Osiris in this episode didn't entertain me at all. In fact I stopped watching. It needs more depth to the writing- bring us more impacting drama! Not all stories should be told through dialogue. <br /><br />I enjoyed the first 2 episodes. This was a disappointment, however I look forward to hopefully watching a better written epsiode. production values were an improvement on the last 2 eps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781097081383681822.post-22002302083144607092010-07-28T07:12:30.946-07:002010-07-28T07:12:30.946-07:00Damn!

Seems like someone must have pissed in your cheerios before you watched it. It's cool that you posted a link to an alternative review, though.<br /><br />Other than the technical issues, the only thing that really jumped out at me is that the guy who plays the captain needs to be a bit more athoritative and stop looking down when he talks. It makes him look weak. <br /><br />The guy who plays the admiral on the starbase has the whole command thing down perfectly. He makes for a guy one could believe as a high ranking federation officer. <br /><br />I didn't see the bad guys as "1950's comic book" kind of guys. It kind of goes along with the whole attitude of the Romulans, the Cardassians and let's not forget the cocky attitude of Section 31 Agent Luthor Sloan. The Section 31 agents are following their basic slogan of "by any means necessary". If that means being stormtroopers for a while, that's what they will do. If it means being assassins, same thing. They adapt to the situation. <br /><br />The series may have gotten off to a rocky start, but I think it has the potential to be a really interesting series. I just wish they would hurry up and release the next episode. I kinda want to see what happens next.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781097081383681822.post-68556690966479343462010-04-28T11:58:21.776-07:002010-04-28T11:58:21.776-07:00good points:

It seemed to have a certain muffled quality at times, and then at other times seemed too "abrupt." Maybe microphone quality or placement, or editing?<br /><br />The show should get better as time goes on. It actually started to feel "tighter" towards the end of the first episode. Part of that was the action finally picking up, but I also got the sense of the actors and production crew starting to hit some kind of stride.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781097081383681822.post-18224414743360899142010-01-05T21:22:00.787-08:002010-01-05T21:22:00.787-08:00After re-reading Anonymous 12/10/09 12:55 PM, I am...After re-reading Anonymous 12/10/09 12:55 PM, I am wondering if he could be a Pakled?Iannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781097081383681822.post-76736273643060111612010-01-05T19:45:11.612-08:002010-01-05T19:45:11.612-08:00To Anonymous 12/10/09 12:55 PM
First, your "...To Anonymous 12/10/09 12:55 PM<br /><br />First, your "review" sounds more like a personal grudge. If I were a betting man, I would say you have an axe to grind with Osiris. It almost sounds like "the red hair girl" rejected your sexual advances or something. Also, your grammar and syntax would lead me to guess that English is not your native language.<br /><br />Second, Osiris is a fan based series. The production will not be on the same level as what comes out of Hollywood, but when I watched it, there was no doubt it was a Star Trek series. The spirit of Trek is very much alive in Osiris and I cannot wait to see where the series takes us!Iannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781097081383681822.post-56086079350062634842010-01-05T19:29:00.608-08:002010-01-05T19:29:00.608-08:00Looking beyond the horrible brutality of this unfo...Looking beyond the horrible brutality of this unfortunate attempt at the English language, this "review" seems more like a personal grudge than an actual film critique. <br /><br />The impression I get is that this was written by someone who either auditioned and failed to get a part or someone who participated in the production, most likely as an extra or a featured extra, and they felt they weren't appreciated enough. The whole thing feels like a juvenile temper tantrum poorly disguised as "review". The reason behind this is, given the credits listed on stosiris.com, the two main people he is critisizing (the captain and the ensign) also have the jobs of Executive Producer/Director (the captain) and Casting Director (the ensign). Of course, this is just my impression, I could be wrong. It may just be a coincidence.<br /><br />As stated by others here, this is the pilot episode. There are always bugs to work out and improvements to be made. I have no doubt that, like any show, each subsequent episode will improve upon the previous one. <br /><br />When it comes to camerawork, one thing to take into account is that this is done entirely on a green screen set of unknown size and this can severely limit the available angles and shots that could be made. Again, being a pilot episode, shots and angles will undoubtedly improve as the series progresses. No one is an expert the first time they do something. <br /><br />In regards to the red headed ensign, her character comes across as an enthusiastic rookie who is eager to please and completely unaware of the potential darkness that comes with service on a starship. Given the plot, I expect this to change as the series goes deeper into the civil war-like plot. <br /><br />Star Trek Osiris shows a lot of promise as a series. With the lack of new Star Trek shows on TV. This feels like a show that will give a lot of Star Trek fans a much needed fix. When I watched the first episode, the first thought that came to my mind was that it feels like a Star Trek show. If it had the budget and sets of shows like Voyager and DS9, I could very easily see this show making it as a TV series.Maxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781097081383681822.post-47643477080451531322010-01-05T14:24:56.684-08:002010-01-05T14:24:56.684-08:00This review is high-larious.

I do a little acting myself and I didn't see anyone who was out of place or even struggling with their role. I even laughed a bit because the Captain didn't look old enough to buy beer yet, and I felt the same way with Star Trek: TNG with Jonathan Frakes as Cmdr. Ryker at first. Ryker turned into a bad-ass by the end of the series, and that may be the case with this show, too!<br /><br />It seems like these guys paid a lot of attention to the details of Star Trek, and are staying pretty true to that legend, even while trying to give it their own twist. If they continue along that path, each episode should get better and better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781097081383681822.post-49869219874907796602010-01-05T12:11:58.444-08:002010-01-05T12:11:58.444-08:00To the above "writer", on December 5, 20...To the above "writer", on December 5, 2009:<br /><br />While you make some very valid points, any and all weight of your statements is completely VOID thanks to your complete lack of basic grammar and writing skills. I find it amusing that you are giving production tips - and particularly writing tips - to these folks when you cannot even SPELL simple words correctly, or make use of a COMMA or two instead of stringing five sentences together like a toddler describing an exciting day at pre-school.<br /><br />That said, yes, there are some of the "basics" of camerawork and directing that are lacking here, and at times the story and acting have some rough edges. (And, don't forget that actors are only partly responsible for their performance -- they get direction from the director.) <br /><br />But this is their first episode....<br /><br /> Take a look at season 1 of TNG when compared to later seasons. It was lit like a high school stage play. The alien planets looked like cheap cable-access studio sets. And acting? Picard did eventually become a regal, authoritative captain - but at first was, frankly, an over-enunciating British caricature. Riker was so overly grandiose in many of his lines that he belonged on the Shakespearean stage. And Troi? It took several seasons before she became a serious, empathetic, realistically-emotional counselor. In season 1, she was pretty much a whiny bitch.<br /><br />All shows - even professionally produced ones - have growing pains and learning curves. While some of the rookie mistakes in production on Star Trek: Osiris are distracting and jarring for a moment to the viewer, the overall theme and storyline are much more interesting and engaging than other fan series with higher production values and budgets. The music is obviously professionally produced, the special effects are fantastic (except for some green-screen keying issues), the sets & costumes are great. I think this show's really on its way once it irons out some kinks.<br /><br />This show FEELS like Star Trek to me, while others feel like the directors' own sci-fi vision, which happens to have a Starfleet insignia on it. Give these guys some time, and I'm sure "Osiris" will give any of these other shows a run for their money.<br /><br />Just one girl's opinion, take it or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781097081383681822.post-76609394702058214842010-01-05T10:12:03.274-08:002010-01-05T10:12:03.274-08:00I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion b...I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion but wow man, that's a pretty harsh and generally insulting review of this show.

Its hard to get people to know and care about characters from a world they can't necessarily relate to without a lot explanation. Its better in dialogue than long scrolling title cards IMO.<br />I also have to disagree with your opinion on the "red hair helmsman". I think her CHARACTER is overacting. NOT the actor. She is an over eager to please novice. I think her CHARACTER is even annoying to those around her. But I am guessing that things will eventually change and her perky idealism will get a dose of reality and make her "easier" for you to swallow.<br />Also, its "angles" not "ankles."<br />Perhaps you need to take a film theory and criticism class before you hurt yourself. :) Also spell check.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781097081383681822.post-63378799007220829362010-01-05T09:12:07.281-08:002010-01-05T09:12:07.281-08:00To anonymous: What are "camera ankles"?To anonymous: What are "camera ankles"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781097081383681822.post-59112080017930341052010-01-05T09:04:35.169-08:002010-01-05T09:04:35.169-08:00Wow, I guess anyone will say anything in their jea...Wow, I guess anyone will say anything in their jealousy when they can be anonymous!<br /><br />But if you're going to continue commenting on things, I have 3 suggestions:<br /><br />1.
