I really like this episode, not only because it continue the story of M'benga, but also because it has this tradition complexity about Kilingon, and lot of action and drama in every character.
Honestly, 7 on IMDB is about my cutoff for “probably decent” if I’m going in cold on a show.
I don’t like zombie movies. I watch Star Trek because I like Star Trek, not zombie movies. For an episode to score the highest reviews, it needs to appeal to a wide range of fans, so I would not expect a take on a different genre to score as well as a traditional Star Trek episode.
To be honest I prefer something new on Star Trek instead of "another nebula cloud has a sentient lifeform which we can't see".
But Star Trek already did a zombie movie: the Enterprise episode Impulse. And more arguably the Voyager episode Juggernaut.
I'll say that I don't hate any of those three episodes but they're also not great for me. They tend to hinge on the fact that their own premises or the established logic and technology of Trek don't hold - a lot of "oh no those zombies are so strong they ripped those people limb from limb! Oh, but we just fended off a dozen of them hand to hand. We should definitely shoot zombies, but our phasers will run out and for some reason we forgot about the wide beam setting!" And yet we know hand phasers can fire long enough to kill thousands [TOS: Omega Glory]. That kind of thing.
User contributed ratings are a popularity contest, not a democracy, that's why. And those get wildly inflated by fans who seem to rate their own brand loyalty rather than what they actually watched 🤷
Your experience and enjoyment of a show or episode shouldn't depend on (or be lessened by) a biased consensus stat on a website somewhere.
The simplest answer might be that not all people who reviewed it there liked it as much as you do. I would say it also doesn't matter. Even fans like different things. You like what you like. The internet will never agree with you 100 per cent. I feel 7/10 is about right for SNW and the plant zombies. But I also don't completely hate Nemesis so my taste is at least questionable.
No, your taste is not questionable.
Everyone's taste is questionable, that's their point. 🤓🖖🏼
Does the number of stars have any defined meaning? What is the definition of 7 stars? What would be required to remove or add a star to that rating?
Yes, why so many 6 or 7 stars? Why people didn't like it? The reviews just said "It's plain bad".
But does the number of stars have any defined meaning? What reason do you have to think that 6 or 7 stars means bad?
