Up to this point, Ellie's Sci-Fi World has been only reviewing TV shows. Now I'll be reviewing some sci-fi movies! And other sci-fi media... primarily, games and books!
Meaning there will be new captions in the blog. And, for some reviews and material, there will be warnings about the reviewed material, especially if they are rated M or R, or even higher.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the reviews, and find them helpful!
Oh, warning! Some of the materials I will be reviewing won't be right after I had seen/played/read them. So the review might not be the freshest. Also, I will not be doing summaries for all of them, and some of them are for the reason of "I haven't seen/played/read them in a while or a long time." Fair warning!

Deadlock
Episode Name: Deadlock
Series: Transformers Prime, Season 3
Rating: Four and a Half Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
It's the final battle! The Autobots fight to take the warship, save Earth's people, and get the Omega Lock to revive their own planet! And the Decepticons fight to cyber-form Earth and against the Autobots.
It's the final battle, and who knows what will happen...?
Mission Report:
IT'S OVER!
Well, for now. Predaking's still technically out there.
This episode was amazing! Megatron's finally dead... killed by Bumblebee, of all bots! And Bumblebee talked!!! AND Cybertron came back! WOO-HOO...!
The ending was a bit of a killer. It was sad. It's nice that Ratchet decided to stay, but everyone else... I felt like tearing up myself!
But the amount of "amazing" and amazing elements was still very high! I really hope that they do continue the series, or at least the storyline, but compared to the other two Season endings... this was the best one in this series yet.
All in all, this didn't hit 5-Spaceships... but it was still a very enjoyable, amazing, and good episode!

Synthesis
Episode Name: Synthesis
Series: Transformers Prime, Season 3
Rating: Four Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
The Autobots initiate their plan to find the Decepticon warship and rescue Ratchet. Ratchet works on the Syth-En formula.
Things will go chaotic...
Mission Report:
I know the summary was pretty lame.
But the episode itself was much better.
It was much more enjoyable, and the story was good. An obvious tactic was used. It was nice that it wasn't skipped.
And it's a "to-be-continued" without the words... except that they're promising the last battle.
I'm pumped and ready for the next episode!
As for this episode... it was a pretty good one!

Persuasion
Episode Name: Persuasion
Series: Transformers Prime, Season 3
Rating: Three Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
Ratchet has been captured! After failing to save the human device, the Autobots head back to Base to discover their doctor gone. They are trying to figure out what to do.
Meanwhile, Megatron is trying to get the data--or help--he needs from Ratchet. When the cordical physic patch doesn't work, Megatron begins to work his "voodoo"* on Ratchet.
Things are going to be troublesome before they get better...
Mission Report:
Again, not the best episode, but not total trash either.
There were good parts to this episode. One of my faves is when Raf starts acting like Ratchet... that was funny!
And it was interesting to watch how Megatron did his negotiations with, and persuaded, Ratchet to help. There was honesty, yet attacking certain points. Megatron was very clever in his plan. It was very interesting.
And I think they did a good job with the catch-up part of the episode. I had forgotten about Megatron plotting to grab Ratchet, until they couped the scene and his line with the one where Soundwave is approaching Ratchet with crackling wire-things...
But there were lulls and not-so great parts. Some parts of the show were boring.
But this wasn't a total-trash episode. But it wasn't a shining best either.
All in all, this was only an average episode.

Minus One
Episode Name: Minus One
Series: Transformers Prime, Season 3
Rating: Four Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
Megatron makes a new plan to use the newly-discovered cyber matter to rebuild Cybertron and cyber-form Earth. So he begins plans to rebuild the Omega Lock. Stealing human tech is part of the needed plan... so the stealing begins!
On one of the runs, Soundwave is captured. But he's not very helpful, and trouble is going to brew...
Mission Report:
This was undoubtedly a multi-parter, even though the words "To Be Continued" are never used. The episode ends on a cliffhanger!
It was mostly enjoyable, though it had it's average, boring, and not-so-good parts. And there were things I didn't like, and story glitches. And the part where Megatron lost his temper against Predaking... um, yeah, thought that was going to go bad, and was surprised it didn't (by bad, I mean Megatron get slaughtered by an angry Predaking).
However, there were good parts.
There were some shocking parts. For one, Shockwave lost his temper! REALLY, HE DID!!!
Another...
SOUNDWAVE ACTUALLY TALKED!!!
HE DID!!!
The talking part was good.
This was a pretty good episode.

Evolution
Episode Name: Evolution
Series: Transformers Prime, Season 3
Rating: Four Spaceships
Mission Briefing:
The Predacon reveals a deadly secret... he can transform and is actually very intelligent! He wishes to lead his Predacon brethren, when they are ready, for Megatron.
But Megatron is frightened and wary. He knows that when Predaking discovers that his kind is stronger than the Decepticons (especially after the Insecticon Hive and half of Megatron's Vehicon troops have been destroyed during the vampire episode) there's a good chance that Predaking will rebel and take out the Decepticons. So a decision is made to destroy Project Predacon, surprisingly even reinforced by Shockwave.
But the Decepticons can't risk having Predaking knowing it was them setting up the Predacons for destruction. So they set it up so it looks like the Autobots have destroyed them all.
Ultra Magnus is already having trouble at base, and is not especially welcomed among them. But the Autobots are going to have more trouble when they fall into the Decepticons' set-up...
Mission Report:
Not bad! Good thing I saw this after seeing part of Thirst*. They explained some of what we needed to know--that the Insecticon Hive and half of Megatron's troops are gone--which was a good thing. But I did have a couple of questions...
Anyway, the central episode was pretty good. There were good scenes. It wasn't my fave episode, but it was much better than my first Zero-Spaceship episode**.
All in all, much better than Thirst, and a good episode, but not the best.

Mission Briefing:
It is discovered that Silas is still alive, and Knock Out has been using him as a test subject for his synthetic Energon experiments. With interference from Starscream, suggesting the use of a little Dark Energon, Silas turns into a Cybertronian version of a vampire!!!
No more review... I couldn't finish the episode.
Mission Report:
This episode went new levels of scary for this series. It was dark and freaky already, with Silas being a test rat. I was a little ticked that he was back... he was dead, and I was enjoying the series without his interference!
But this episode was too scary. The whole "cyber-vampire" thing was scary. And the resulting vampires were scary.
And the special effects were bad news again, though they were good. I couldn't look whenever Vamp-Silas opened his "mouth", and there were not-so comfortable scenes.
It was too much for me, and I couldn't finish the episode.
So, DO NOT WATCH THIS EPISODE! TOO DARK AND SCARY!!!
