My favorite show of all time is Star Trek:TNG. It's wonderful in such a myriad of ways. It also taught or reinforced for me so many of my core values and principles. I learned to appreciate great storytelling, and the show inspired me to pursue a life long love of good literature.

This horribly awful show has done the one thing I thought could never be done. It's made me dislike Star Trek a little. I will never forgive these hack writers and producers.

This show is a complete mess. I started watching this show because I heard the protagonist is more or less a sociopath. I've watched Dexter, which had the same conceit, and I enjoyed it (for the first 4 seasons at least).

This show doesn't really know what it wants to be. I had no problem with the show having no clear good guy, but the way it portrayed people being wishy washy and unclear in their motivations was absolutely infuriating. The only I guy i actually rooted for was Sato, who I think was supposed to be the true "bad guy" in a show full of bad guys. Nevertheless, I only liked him for being clear, concise, and true to his character.

I was sick of the weaknesses of every character. Kei, the "hero", doesn't even follow the logical progression of his sociopathic character. I expected a big reveal of his selfishness at the end of the series, but the show didn't even give me that.

There was so much potential for this series. I'm bummed because I was so close to loving this series considering its overall themes.

I remember liking the movie despite the fact it was style over substance. I particularly liked the score and I think that Trevor Jones is perhaps one of the most underrated composers out there. The soundtrack for Last of the Mohicans (his parts) was simply brilliant and among my favorites. I really hope he gets to work on higher profile movies in the future.
