“The Terminal Man” Review

The Terminal Man: Directed by Mike Hodges. With George Segal, Joan Hackett, Richard Dysart, Donald Moffat. Hoping to cure his violent seizures, a man agrees to a series of experimental microcomputers inserted into his brain but inadvertently discovers that violence now triggers a pleasurable response to his brain.

The concept here is a great one but the implementation is more “talk about the cool stuff” instead of letting the cool stuff happen on screen. I actually had to time one of the scenes, when they’re implanting a chip into the guy’s head because I thought it had looped somehow, but no, it really was a 20 minute breathless scene of them trying to implant wires into his brain to try to control his uncontrollable fits of rage. Turns out though that the wires didn’t do their job all that well and he escapes captivity to kill again, just not in any kind of fantastical way or anything that uses the computer chip, he just wanders around the city and kills a few people with pedestrian methods like knives and guns. I honestly thought this was going be some kind of US-1 / Headmasters thing where he could end up controlling technology with the chip, but that wasn’t the aim at all.

Instead this is more of a commentary on men’s meddling with things that he shouldn’t and how technology has overreached it’s limits.

“11 Minutes” Review

11 Minutes: With Jonathan Smith, Dee Jay Silver, Kelly Pollard, Jason Aldean. Through emotional first-hand accounts and never-before-seen archival footage, this documentary immerses viewers inside the largest mass shooting in our country’s history, at what was supposed to be a festival celebrating country music.

This is both one of the most difficult documentaries to watch, but also one of the most maddening, with all the real terror of the night hidden and censored, only the hallways scenes at the hospital were really showing the full depths of the insanity, the rest of it feels like a sanitized and nearly bloodless incident that doesn’t properly exhibit the scale of destruction that happened. Other than the censorship issue, this is an exceptionally well written and directed documentary that offers a stark reminder that it’s still just as legal today as it was on this night to purchase 10,000 rounds of ammo and set up a kill room.

Star Trek: Picard: Firewall

Two years after the USS Voyager’s return from the Delta Quadrant, Seven of Nine finds herself rejected for a position in Starfleet…and instead finds a new home with the interstellar rogue law enforcement corps known as the Fenris Rangers. The Rangers seem like an ideal fit for Seven—but to embrace t

For all the Trek content we’ve had in the past, hundreds of hours of tv, dozens of hours of movies and literally thousands of Trek books, the amount of time spent outside of the Federation “safe space” is practically nil, with nearly every aspect of the previous works having a Federation point of view where they come swooping in, save the day, they swoop away onto another adventure, usually without much of a follow up. This isn’t a followup, but it’s nearly 95% all from the point of view of Seven of Nine, who after returning to the Alpha Quadrant is treated like a pariah and is refused Federation citizenship and is wandering from shady job to shady job, trying to find a purpose in life. This foundation for the story feels untrue to what we know of Federation behavior with ex-borg and flies in the face of common logic, because in my mind they would definitely have welcomed her as a participant or even a member, either to help her with her borg issues or more nefariously, to build on the knowledgebase of Borg for their eventual defeat.

Luckily though, even with this unstable foundation, the story really finds it’s wings when Seven hooks up with the Fenris Rangers, a formerly legitimate law enforcement organization that’s lost all it’s political support in the region it operates in and is acting under assumed authority. They didn’t lose their support due to anything they did, but instead because the Federation pulled out of the region to focus on saving the Romulans from supernova that’s scheduled next Tuesday. Without the direct support of the Federation, the region has fallen into chaos with slavers and pirates taking over entire planets and causing all sorts of mischief that only the Rangers can handle.

There’s a fair bit of character development that happens here for Seven, most of it good, but some of it’s somewhat confusing for me, the main point being her interest in ladies, something that i thought was a first for her in the Picard television series, but it’s clearly an element of her character here in this prequel. I realize there’s been endless keyboard chatter about her sexual and gender preferences, but I’ve mostly been blind to the discussion.

This is all quibbling though, because at the end of the day I found myself vastly enjoying the story and the way it was resolved was a fantastic example of how to do a prequel that opens itself up to many more sequels.
