Star Trek Re-Discovered !

I will admit I am a sci-fi fanboy. Most of the series which I tend to enjoy fall into the sci-fi category. Be it Star Trek, Star Wars or Doctor Who. Like every other fanboy, I lost my shit when I heard that Star Trek will be brought back to the television (its rightful home) by CBS. 
And return to home it did. The show is kind of a prequel to recent movies in the Star Trek series. It is based on a timeline way before Mr Spock came into existence. I have just finished watching the pilot episode and I will have to admit the start got me a little nervous. They start off by showing a Klingon leader giving some sort of a speech and are cut off by our leads Captain Georgiou and her lead commander Michael Burnham being chased and they beamed onto USS Shenzhou. The episode found its stride once we enter the ship. The story revolves around the crew discovering something unusual in the debris. Captain Burnham is sent to examine the object, which later turns out to be a Klingon ship. The episode deals with the collision of two ideology of the Captain who wants to talk and the Commander according to whom shooting the pants off those Klingons is the right option. The story cleverly puts the viewers into a dilemma, where we have to pick a side. Giving us reason to invest in the story. To finish off I would like to mention a few things, the CGI was above and beyond of what you will find on other Television shows like the Flash. I would say it could even rival game of thrones. The aliens looked really convincing! The cast was well casted, I like Commander Burnham and would admit to taking her side throughout the episode. To conclude, Star trek discovery is a solid return to television for the franchise! Now one can only hope that the next episodes keep up and even exceed what we have seen in the pilot.

Ducktales WOO-OO!

30 years! Is the time that the world has survived without a new episode of Ducktales! But, all that is history now. As Ducktales makes its triumphant return to Television on Disney XD. The new series follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and gives us a look into the exploits of the richest duck in the world Scrooge McDuck! Portrayed fabulously by David Tennant. Like the old series, the reboot also focuses on the adventure seeking Scrooge and his nephews. All the member of the voice cast nail their roles and adding to that, has been the interesting storyline! So far we have seen the McDuck family go to the Atlantis, learn about the value of money and take a visit to Funzos. The only griper which I have with the show would be the animation, but, I have gotten used to it. The colours are a little too vibrant for me. Even though the show is for children, it still attracts viewers like me, this showcases the power of nostalgia. To conclude I must say, that the reboot could have ...
