   I'm curious about this show and tempted to give it a shot.  But I have   
   such a large backlog already, I don't know if I can fit it in.   
      
   On Thursday I watched:   
      
   Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - "Vox in Excelso" - I'm not sure how to   
   describe this one, especially without spoilers.  This was a Klingon   
   focused episode featuring the school's Klingon cadet participating in a   
   school debate run by the Doctor.  That was the school side of the story.   
     The non school story focused on the Klilngon empire.   
      
      
   Send Help (theatrical) New movie directed by Sam Raimi and starring   
   Rachel McAdams as a woman whose plane crashes on a remote island.  The   
   only other survivor is her injured boss (Dylan O'Brien).  Things go from   
   bad to worse for O'Brien as he slowly realizes his employee has no real   
   interest in the two of them ever getting off the island.  This was a   
   very good movie.  It's basically a cross between "Misery" and "Cast   
   Away."  For the first 30 or so minutes of the movie I was wondering why   
   did Sam Raimi direct this, the movie didn't seem to need his particular   
   touch.  But once the "Misery" part of the movie kicked in, it became a   
   pretty hard "R" blood fest and suddenly it made sense that Raimi   
   directed it.
