Also, a near industry-wide strike is happening.

Created by Rick Berman (former show runner on Next Generation) and Michael Piller in 1993 – it ran for 7 seasons until 1999. The show ran concurrently with Star Trek The Next Generation (for its first two seasons) until Next Gen finished its run in 1994.

The Lobster ( A Film Review)

The Lobster is a dark-romatic comedy that touches on the nature of relationships in a delightfully macabre way. Directed by Yargos Lanthimos in 2015, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Efthimis Filippou it stars Oliva Colman, Colin Farrell, Rachel Wiesz, and John C. Riley. If you're a fan of dry British wit mixed with a nihilistic outlook on the the dating scene, this film's going to tickle your fancy.
