Cat Free YouTube Channels Lore Reloaded


Lore Reloaded


Nerds!!! Really, if you are not a Science Fiction nerd don't bother.

When I was a small child, I was fed a steady diet of science reality and science fiction. I grew up watching the Apollo missions and Star Trek, the original series. Lore Reloaded is dedicated to Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, and other science fiction universes. 

This channel does a deep dive into the universes and treats them as if they are almost real. They look at the ships, the politicians, religion, and the battles in the universes. It fills in a lot of the backstories that add some depth to the stories. 

The amount of research done for the different videos is impressive and it is presented in an entertaining way. 

Scorecard

The Rating uses G, PG, PG-13, and R while the other categories use A for the best that I know of, B for good but others might be better, C is average, D below average, and F is just terrible. 
  • Rating PG-13 The Lore Master can get a bit heated over continuity in the Star Trek Universe. He does sort of bleep things but not well. I feel that this does not add any value to this channel.
  • Quality B  Production quality is good but not great. I feel the writing and research is very good. The Lore Master is a good voice actor in my opinion. The video is limited to slides, a few animations and clips from the games and shows. 
  • Community A The communities on YouTube Channels are often terrible. Lore Remastered is not bad at all. I have seen very little bile. Of course, there is a fair amount of nerd flame wars but they do not descend into nasty battles. 
  • Depth A This is all depth. You will get full tactical specs of Starships and analysis of battles that look like military history. You will also get ethical discussions which I really enjoy. Fiction is a way to look at ideas and ethics without putting real people in danger.  Science Fiction is, at it's best, a future simulator. We can look at different futures and see the benefits and flaws in them. 
  • Entertainment Value C  If you are into the universes covered then you will enjoy it. If you aren't, then watching this channel may bore or you may be inspired to jump on Netflix and watch some of the material covered. 
  • Overall C I really like this show but for some, it will be an F while for others it will be an A+. This is really for those that are into these franchises and will be of little interest to those that are just casual fans or are not fans at all.  The other negative is the use of profanity in the videos even with the bleeping. Again you may not mind it or it may make this channel just for you.

What I think of this show

I am a huge science fiction fan and love Star Trek, Star Wars, and most of the other franchises that this channel covers, so it is a fun channel for me and people like me. It has no real educational value outside of philosophical and ethical discussions. I wish that the Lore Master would avoid the profanity since I just do not see any need for it. I find it entertaining and fun and if it is up your alley I suggest you give it a try.
