lathanyOur Lovefilms offering at the start of August was Star Trek Beyond. This was rather more mainstream than our last two films (Moon and Tale of Tales) and fairly decent light entertainment. Also it had Idris Elba in it (although, for the most part, unrecognisable). However, it suffered from a lack of consistency and a lack of coherence. The more I thought about the plot, the more it failed to make sense.
Now on leave, I finished Dragon Age Origins again (on the PC for a change) and for the first time played The Darkspawn Chronicles. It's essentially a replay of the last battle as the bad guys (and with the PC absent). It was different, interesting and entertaining. I had a lot of fun working my way through the NPCs and name-checking them. Also, crucially, it was about the right length. Long enough to be enjoyed and not too long so that it didn't become boring.
In other news, Reeve is having a bad time of it. His beloved box has been replaced and the new one is narrower and, so far, has been spurned. Also, there's an omniously-named appointment for him tomorrow morning; Dom has put it in the calendar as "Thermometer Up Bum (Reeve)".
