Day 284: Enterprise, Shuttlepod One

(Why yes, this is in fact the first time Malcolm’s managed to make it into the header. I was just waiting for an opportunity where he was both important to the story and I could get a flattering shot.)

Note: This episode swapped airdates with the upcoming episode “Shadows of P’Jem”. I’ll check Memory Alpha after I watch that episode to see if there’s an explanation for it.

Day 270: Enterprise, Broken Bow

Yes, the home stretch of this project will be taken up with reviews of Star Trek: Enterprise, the most disliked and (in my opinion) unfairly judged of the Star Trek series. I'll be happy if I can change at least one person's opinion about it. In the meantime, I've changed the color scheme to represent both the color of the ship and the color of the crew's uniforms, plus created an icon that (bizarrely) had to be done using a Star Wars theme because there are no good Star Trek ones. And with that done, let's get started.

Show: Star Trek; Enterprise

Episode Particulars: S1EP1, “Broken Bow”

A reminder; pilots are counted by the studio as two episodes instead of one. I, however, will consider it as one episode and just accept that my count’s going to be slightly off this season.

Day 256: Columbo, Columbo Goes to College

Show: Columbo

Episode Particulars: S10EP1, “Columbo Goes to College”, original airdate December 9^th, 1990.

Note: Here’s where things diverge a little. Wikipedia kind of lumps all the remaining Columbo episodes into one set, while The Columbo Episode Guide divides them up into Seasons Ten, Eleven, and then scattered specials. I’ve decided to go with Wikipedia on this one for simplicity’s sake.

Show: Columbo

Episode Particulars: S7EP2, “Murder Under Glass”, original airdate January 30^th, 1978.

Note: For some odd reason, the Season Seven episodes are all jumbled around on the DVD, to the point where it looks like the third episode is actually the last episode of the season. I have no idea what happened, but if you want to watch things in chronological order, I’d rely on Wikipedia rather than the DVD box for this particular season.

Day 241: Columbo, Try and Catch Me

Show: Columbo

Episode Particulars: S7EP1, “Try and Catch Me”, original airdate November 21^st, 1977.

Note: The DVD collection I own says this episode is part of Season Six (which makes sense because this was also from 1977), but both Wikipedia and this website say that it’s Season Seven, and I’m inclined to trust their judgment. Though this is par for the course for this particular DVD, as you’ll see in the next entry…
