France have been terrible tonight, so bad its making me feel sympathy for them.

This France Paraguay game is one of the worst matches i have seen in a long time, falling over, kicking out, shoving, some poor refereeing, load of nonsense, will be good to see the back of Paraguay.

Watching England play football is like having your finger nails extracted slowly for 90 minutes, its a relief when its over.

The BBC UHD iPlayer option to watch the football is brilliant, its like being in the stadium, helps if you have a really big tv.

Star Trek Academy:Opening title sequence is a burst of shiny meaningless cgi, you wouldnt know its Star Trek until you see the Academy badge. I thought Enterprise titles were bad, they look and sound positively great compared to this. www.imdb.com/title/tt8622...

Star Trek Academy: The stories suck, everything interesting about the Star Trek universe has been extracted, the so called burn was a strategic mistake, dont mention the spore drive shit, feels like every series is getting dumber. www.imdb.com/title/tt8622...

Star Trek Academy: Overly shiny cgi, the ship, the galaxy star shots, the weapons, the alien space ships, alien worlds, its making me think the practical effects look better, more authentic, the production companies have gone too far, make it look real, not shiny. www.imdb.com/title/tt8622...

Star Trek Academy: only ep 10 is the slightest bit interesting, there is a Trek series hiding in there somewhere, the previous 9 eps are more like a school drama written by people who watched Star Trek and thought DS9:Move along Home was the best episode ever. www.imdb.com/title/tt8622...

One of the principle problems with Star Trek Academy is that there are no interesting characters, even the Doctor, who is great on Voyager, is degraded to uttering banalities. As for the villain, meaningless scenery chewing phrases devoid of reason. www.imdb.com/title/tt8622...

The principle issue with the sound track on Star Trek Academy is that it insists on using mediocre orchestral music all the time, not just dramatic moments, it does not have the sounds of the ship, the instruments or the engines, i guess it must be cheaper to do. www.imdb.com/title/tt8622...

Monarch:Legacy of Monsters Review: Its fun, it has monsters in it, it has Kirt Russell in it, but the script is pretty clunky, the musical track is really annoying and the cgi is sometimes below par. www.imdb.com/title/tt1722...

Why has the US attacked Iran? James O'Brien cant make sense of it, this may be the point. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1rV...

After 8 eps StarFleet Academy, this is the worst start to any star trek series, every episode feels like DS9 Move Along Home in its unimportance. The acting is tepid, characters dull, cgi is too shiny, stories poor and, the worst sin of all, i feel bored. IGN being kind. www.ign.com/articles/sta...

Having seen every Star Trek episode so far, had to watch new Star Trek Star Fleet Academy series, a new take on the formula, whips along at fair pace, has a sense of fun. Poor star ship design, annoying overly dramatic sound track, shiny cgi, lots of historic references. www.ign.com/articles/sta...
