Revisiting Deep Space Nine

Reviews

Last Christmas, I spoiled myself with a gift I should have gotten myself long ago: all seven seasons of Deep Space Nine on DVD. DS9 has always been my favourite Star Trek and as I am watching the entire show again I know more and more why so.

Unlike the past, I even like the earlier seasons. Partially because I had never seen a few of those episodes, but also because there is some sort of satisfaction in seeing the characters grow into what I ultimately remembered. Especially the third season was far better than I recalled, while I was actually a bit disappointed by the lack of development in the fourth which I used to love. Somehow once the Dominion was introduced, I wanted nothing but the war epic. The Klingon and Maquis interludes just seem like a waste of time. Fortunately I just started with season 5 now, so all is great again.

Watching an all-time favourite definitely beats watching new TV!

Harry Potter Trilogy

Anglosphere

A few months ago I had not even read a single page of Harry Potter. But then I read a few at Kirsten's. Well, consider me to catch up on Hermione, Azkaban and all that: I bought the trilogy on DVD today. Yeah yeah, I know I should read more, but I really do feel more like a popcorn night tonight. The box set was only €14,99 at Mediamarkt.. not a bad deal for three supposedly worthwile movies! Take us out, Scotty Snape!
