MasterChef: The Professionals (2008)
What a great show
This is a fun show to watch, the chefs are excellent, its fun to see them struggle through the skills tests, and i just love the hosts, they are for the most part positive, supportive, encouraging and helpful as opposed the somewhat angrier meaner hosts in the versions from other countries.
They are currently in the 14th season, I'm not sure why the IMDB has not updated this show since season 11.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
Loved it!!
Loved it!!
What i think i'm finding incredibly amusing with some of the negative reviews, is how much everyone is upset because things are different? like they need it to be exactly like the original series for them to appreciate it?? really?? Hate to break it to you all, TNG got the same response when it first came out. exactly the same... And to those who were expecting it to bring you back to the 60's or 80's versions, so you can relive your childhood is utterly ridiculous to expect. this franchise owes you nothing... as i'm sure if they just duplicated everything and simply changed the situation and surroundings, you'd whine about that too. I think it's safe to assume most of the whiners would whine regardless if this was great or garbage, ultimately they've put the franchise on such a high pedestal that nothing will ever satisfy them. so pay no attention to their reviews as they are all clearly unrealistic. If you think the nature of trek was all about exploration then you have a very selective memory, as DS9 was ALL about war... Voyager more or less was too, both had zero exploration. There was plenty of war in the original series too. again, people only seem to remember what they want to.
For me, i'm so glad Trek is back and it appears to be done very well too. Excellent storyline, great cast, who cares if it does fall perfectly snug into the Trek universe, really the only one that does is Star Trek TOS, this sticks pretty darn close to the cannon. To to those whining about the look of the Klingon's, get over it, you're truly overthinking it. To quote a fan post on another site " Star Trek: Enterprise. The two episodes, "Affliction" and "Divergence", aired in February 2005. An earlier story arc featured the Augments, genetically-engineered humans left over from the Eugenics Wars of the late 20th century, and who were defeated by Captain Jonathan Archer and the Enterprise in Klingon space. The Klingon High Council fears that Starfleet was developing armies of Augments; after gaining access to genetic material from the Augments, the Klingons perform experiments to increase their own intellect and strength. The experiments turn disastrous when a flu strain mutates and becomes a deadly plague that spreads across the Empire, causing physical changes resulting in the afflicted bearing a TOS-era appearance. Dr. Phlox of the Enterprise formulates a cure for the virus, but the physical alterations remain in the populace and are inherited by offspring. Phlox indicated that "someday" the physical alterations could be reversed."
so get over it, lol...
Great show, loved every second of it!!
