“So I looked, and behold,
A pale horse
And the name of him
Who sat on it was Death
And Hell followed with him.
And power was given to them
Over a fourth of the Earth to kill
With sword, with hunger, with death...
...and by the beasts of the Earth”

Cleared out two tapes. The first was from 1996 and began with a ‘The Pretender’ ep ‘Mirage’ in which Jarod pretends to be a skydiving instructor. Robert Carradine and Kate Hodge guest star. Jarod sniffs out more inconstant people of dubious moral character. The Centre prats continue to act deranged. Out of date tech is used and this was grim and inessential.
It was followed by a season 1 ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ ep ‘The Titans’ which was a tad uninvolving. And then there was another ‘The Pretender’ ep ‘The Better Part of Valour’ in which Jarod pretends to be a fireman. I have no interest in the Centre and their plotting. Jarod continues making strange. Miss Parker continues to dress kind of porny in off putting colour schemes. Jarod burns down a man’s house.
Then there was a ‘Forever Knight’ ep ‘Father’s Day’ which continues to have zero intersection with reality. A Don’s son runs away. Lacroix does something bad and Nick is dumb. This was dumb, listless and tired.
Best Line:
“I’ve buried enough sons.”
Then came a ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ ep ‘Before and After’ in which Kes travels through time. Kes married Tom and had a daughter (Jessica Collins) who married Harry Kim and they have a son. WTF? This is a future that never was and showed children that will never be. There is bad old age make-up and wigs. There is technobabble and more time travel. This had some okay rhythms and rhymes but depressingly flat acting and Kes is a passenger in her own story. This was not a grim examination of the Kes’ then inevitable early death.
Best Line:
“Get your grandfather and father.”
Finally there was another ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ ep ‘Prime Factors’ in which a possible way home is found. Seska and co steal it. Janeway is all dull vituperation and her moral relativism just comes across as stupefied stupidity. Seska pot stirs and all VOY’s promise went away in some spectacular disintegration. This was overbranded content.
The second tape was from 1998. It began with a ‘Millennium’ ep ‘The Fourth Horseman’. I really liked this 2-parter back in the day but it is so boring with 90s SFX. This was terrible in every sense. Terry O’Quinn stares, Frank Black’s annoying wife and child annoy and there is outdated tech. The Marburg virus strikes. Men mumble, there is bad acting and death.
Best Lines:
“Maggot migrating trails.”
“The Group knows what it could become.”
Then came the follow up ep ‘The Time Is Now’ in which more people mumble and die. Did the Millennium Group release the virus? Does anyone care? Lara goes mad. Catherine dies and there is a bleak ending that was ruined by season 3. This was ridiculous, risibly amateurish with a leaden pace and limp plotting.
Then came a season 3 ‘Due South’ ep ‘Eclipse’. I have negative associations with season 3. The ep had unsupported claims and yell-it-out acting and plotlessness. Finally there was an ‘X Files’ ep ‘All Souls’ in which there are mysterious deaths, washed out pastels, bad acting and Scully obsessing over Emily. By the miniseries she’d forgotten Emily. An angel and the devil wander around this woefully mismanaged plot that overdoes the solemn solecism.

On ‘Neighbours’: Why does Tyler look like Jason David Frank in his Green Ranger days? Piper is sure she’s a vlogger hero. There are improvident choices. Paige annoys. Xanthe never the brains of the operation ignores Shelia’s latest health scare. Brennan tries to revive his and Paige’s shattered love for some reason. Paige is objectified in a bikini. Bossy the dog alerts Kyle to Shelia having fallen down. Kyle has Xanthe sent to a group home.
On ‘Hollyoaks’: The evil Joanne is onto fake Lisa aka Sonia. The oft derided Sienna is sick of Nico and Ben. Grace and Trevor seem to ignore their child. Grace mocks Trevor’s obvious fear and PTSD. Theresa recalls that her 2nd child and Nico are half sisters. The pimp and his manky teeth rant. Ben does not have a cheerful unthreatening style. There is no collective sense of decency. Nico is prevented from drowning Theresa. Where is Pete? What are Ben and Sienna living off of? Nico and her perfectly GHDed hair watches a DVD called ‘Die For Me’. Subtle TPTB, subtle. Trevor and Sienna shag. There are no good and just men. John-Paul sees Diego in his very small underpants.
Best Lines:
“She can hold a grudge for like months.”
“Like we’re transplant sisters.”
“I rise to it right now.”
“I’m not posh!”
