By The Critical Drinker

        The premise of this movie is flawed beyond it being a sequel of the redonkulous Alien Prometheus. However, it is a fantastic sequel in that it is a near perfect recreation of the prior movie. As in Prometheus, Covenant forces every single character to make stupid contrived decisions only to force the plot along. The Hero’s Journey only allows one such character flaws for each character of a story. Having more than one breaks immersion into the story for the audience. The companies that bankrolled this movie, deserves to loose their money after failing to require a different screen writer and director.

        The problem is the idea that Elizabeth Shaw would have ever trusted David just because she was lonely. Sure, she would be, but David’s immitation of ‘acting’ should have failed to work for the simple reality that David himself would have been abundantly enough to keep her mind sane. Even while silent his presence would have kept her grounded to the Prime Material.... so her trusting him? never.

        The Engineers would have more than *one* homeworld. Times that by 39, think do I.

        The new captain failed the entire colony and this movie by going down to the planet himself. The current Captain always stays on the ship, precisely to avoid the constant changing & challenging of command present in all acts of the story.

        2k people for a colony? try 20 times that many. That would have enabled the new captain to send *six* marines with his wife.  Sending _One_ for security is a big fail decision that would have been known to the previous First Officer.


       Adventuring through an alien spaceship, especially on a mysteriously deserted planet was another fail.  The existence of the ship itself should have sent everyone packing back to the ship.

       The new new new new captain of the Colony ship brings the ship to 40k distance from the surface... even though twice that is necessary for safety, as stated in the movie. Sure ‘Mother’ allowing the breach in protocal is semi ok. Then the colony ship should have crashed because... gravity works.

       Then the Captain goes searching for a previous officer he told “stay close”; All by himself... an equally stupid choice.  Every act of the movie is filled with these rudimentary stupid decisions that fail to have anything to do with the plot.  Going off on your own when you know there is mortal danger, is literally them choosing to commit suicide.

       Then the last thing the colony ship would have “rescued” anyone on the planet. They should have been left after Tennessee sends a message to Terra. The husband’s wife died in the second act, he should have known this. Why would the crew give a fuck about anyone, other than their spouse? They are supposed to be only selected as members of the future Colony.

       Near the end of the movie, there fails to be any way that David would have won the fight after the screen cuts away from them. Walter was stradling an already partially broken David. Then Walter’s fist was already coming down to break the face of David. They showed him grabing a shank, but he failed to have the position to really use it. The only reason a human would have grabbed the shank is to try to cause enough pain to the one on top. ‘Pain’ that would have fell short of coming even close to stopping the inevitability of his skull breaking against the fist from David... an android.

       At the end there is the wrongness of Daniels of even coming close to mistaking David for Walter.

1. A pair of rudimentary caveman scissors would have fell short of being enough to cut David’s hair enough to even come rationally or logically close to Walter’s appearance.
2. Then there is also the different mannerisms that would have automatically confirmed the reality of David’s presence to Daniels.

       For sharing Gravity, grateful am I. For the Goddess to be allowed to alighten a path towards love, joy, & happiness along the self’determined life’cycle chosen by the Higher’Self of yours, pray do I.

By The Critical Drinker

The movie, and series, are essentially a futuristic take on theme'parks and L.A.R.P.ing {Live Action Role Playing}. And then what are the most popular themes of i.R.L. {in Real Life} LARPS? Those are the themes that a 'company' would explore because it would attract the most number of customers.

"Westworld" is a reboot of an older movie. The original was an amusement park with more than one "zone" people could visit. There was Medievalworld, Romanworld and Westworld. Thus Critical Drinker is simply wrong on the series changing the theme. All themeparks have multiple themes that are explored.

However, the point was each world was one that fit a basic genre, in which their audience wanted to 'play' a 'role'. Few fail to know anything of Shogun Japan, let alone enough to have an interest in roleplaying in it.

1 3 ❤ 0 0 ❤ 0 3 ❤ 1 5 ❤ 1 9 ❤ Dias Lady; Review Rating Reasoning

This is the reasoning by which I rate any movie or television series that is watched and reviewed by me.

1. Stars ~ is for shows that only the uber fans of the genre in general enjoy.  If finding a decent zombie film or television series is difficult then these shows are for you.
2. Stars ~ is for shows that are good examples of a genre and most people will probably enjoy it.  This is for people who are able to enjoy most movies and overlook most errors in various parts of the script, acting, emersion, or continuity.
3. Stars ~ is for shows that are exceptional examples outside of the genre itself.  They are innovative, authentically original, and should be able to compel even most of those who are unable to stop nitpicking movies to death.

Better eye-candy {attractive actors/actresses} is chosen for the characters then that may compel me to stomach through the first few episodes, maybe more.  That is simply honest the reader and myself, being me.

Thank you for sharing your time and Force;  May you ask the Goddess to eternally alight your path.  Please understand that far from perfect am I.  That realization too is far from new to me;  Therefore, with the goal of helping are the critics made by me.

Three out of five stars for the cable network 'Lifetime Television Channel's new television series The Lottery.  The show centers around a female heroine doctor, a male United States of America Army veteran, and the black female C.o.S. {Chief of Staff} to the P.o.t.U.S. {Present of the United States}, and a half baked Dystopian world view driven by a global infertility.

The heroine potentially saves our species by fertilizing and creating a hundred embryos;  And, the story is about the power struggle to control them, set against the backdrop of the scientists figuring out what they did right so that they can fertilize more and 'cure' the global infertility.

As mentioned previously the show is set in a half baked dystopian world that is only partially realized.  The world seems as if the writers and producers shared a religious vision, whom refuse to flesh it out past the initial concept.  Literally the story crosses the globe;  However, what they viewer see are scenes that 'appear' as if the filming barely even leaves Los Angeles, let alone California.

I love how the show illustrates how corrupt D.C. {District of Columbia} is and why.  The writers do seem to understand the mental illness that is statism.  I doubt most of the D.C. M.O.B. {Money Over Bitches} thugs even realize who or what they are, except their primary focus is maintaining and increasing their own power.  They fail to see how the D.C. is separated from the rest of America, And to them D.C. is the nation.

The writers and producers are somewhat obvious with their plot mechanics.  Laying back and "enjoying" shows is what I cherish most.  Therefore, for me to see plot elements in the show, I find rather ridiculous.  Hopefully, for Marley Shelton I am wrong and the show gets renewed for a second season.  Though, I doubt D.C. types enjoy yet another vector illuminating how utterly evil they are.



For those wondering, yes conspiracies are everywhere.  A few conspiracies are even illuminated periodically by the Light.  True negative thinkers should try actually reading the definition of a conspiracy.  A few may even realize that I speak truly.

The government can and does keep many secrets.  The myth that they are unable too is a red haring that they enjoy very much.  How many clandestine groups there are is beyond me, however I am sure there are many forming and dispersing every day.



I also love watching Marley Shelton having so much air time.  She is a beautiful woman and appears to really get into her characters, I believe.  Unfortunately, watching her and her character may be the only reason I continue watching the show past it's third episode.  Unfortunate for the show that is, as my personal journal entries have extrapolated on my turbulent psyche.

The appearance of a person's body tells an astute observer everything about the subjects beliefs and thoughts.  For instance, obesity is a sign of self doubt and depression.  A reader may think of a skinny depressed person they know, however such a person tends to be 'less' than their true ideal fat and muscle mass.

Now a reader either agrees or disagrees with me and that is irrelevant to what I was relaying.  I have thought a great deal about why I find certain women more attractive than others.  From what wisdom I have gleaned my gut reaction to their image says a lot about how compatible my Higher Self and Id thinks they are.  Correlating that with who I believe my ideal wives and ideal marriage occupies my mind periodically.

The short of it is that I think Marley Shelton is hot and I would love to date her, and learn more about her.  Naturally she is different than the characters she plays.  I have yet to see her in a series that gets renewed past it's first season, and so I believe that helps me from that mistake.  However, I have seen her in a series twice now with David Alpay and so maybe they have a meaningful relationship.

Taylor Alison Swift occupies the majority of my thoughts while sleeping and awake.  I am perplexed on what wisdom to draw from that.  The idea that I am completely off my kilter is something I entertain daily, thus I tend to discount it as crazy people rarely realize they are crazy.

Anyhow, this has turned into mostly another journal entry and so I have designated it as such.
