Speaking as a long term trek fan (I've been enjoying trek since 1968), well this was the one of those, I had been loving this version of trek until now, oh dear. There are always a few awful episodes that I always skip when I watch Rerun's of all the trek series . The captain Proton ones on voyager, ugh, or that foul Irish village Fairhaven, or Dixon Hill private dick. Sure I get it, the writers get bored doing 100s of episodes the same and want a change, or want a go at a different genre, at least they haven't done a full blown musical like they did in Buffy, that was monstrous. Some of those weren't too badly acted though, this one stank, just too early on for characters to be established before spoofing them up , I put this along side the early Ds9 episode with that game Cisco and co get caught , "alla-morain 123" "2nd shap, move along" that was just nasty!

I know some trek fans like these episodes, they are quaint I suppose, but I watch trek for a sci-fi space experience not comedy, film noir or as in this case a cheap children's silly spoof. I don't mind a touch of comedy or whatever, but a whole episode, badly done, no thanks

Ah well get it over with early I suppose , foul, just foul, moving on, the rest of the series is pretty ace.

Exactly the same awful casting and wooden acting from the lead character as with both Anekin characters in the movies 4 5 and 6.

Boba has no presence whatsoever , I gave up after 2 episodes, just awful.

I enjoyed Midsommar , it will stay with me for a long time. There is a deep and ancient archetype played out in this movie that is hard to handle for modern domesticated people. It is well expressed and having experienced similar scenarios in my drug taking youth I identified with it, even though I don't fully understand it yet. It has comedy, true horror, weirdness and beauty and is very thought provoking Not for everyone as is evident by the reviews here but you will have to watch it yourself to know if its for you, making these reviews irrelevant I suppose.
