This.  My six year old son loves watching races but he cares not one whit for the nuances or the engineering.  As long as Max wins he’s happy (... the front running little snot...)

But if you want a really quick catchup of the last decade or so:

If you want to get a sense of the overall feel of the series, a lot of the old BBC F1 year in review shows are archived on YouTube. Those are nice and easy broad overviews of the type of stuff that goes on during a season, epecially the sideshow F1 insanity that is often just as interesting as the racing. And you’ll…

Late to the party on this one, but... it’s gotta be Smokey and the Bandit II.

Pretty much everyone announced 45 days from theatrical release, so just work off that.  I guess they want to keep the box office rolling so they’re not making it official.

Kinda wish they’d make the less-float-y Kirby a retroactive change, but I guess that’s taking away something of what makes Kirby... Kirby.

The Jamie thing was the worst bit of it for me. Okay, no one watched Trial by Jury, so fair enough for retconning her being a judge (and that always felt a bit ridiculous because we knew she got strung up by the ethics committee during her first return ep... odds are really good she wouldn’t be nuts enough to put…

I was just about to say, I feel like Vaughan / Woodbridge was basically the North American capital of Alfas for a while there.

Those early Arrow seasons just seem so... small... in comparison to the later stuff.  It’s hard to compare Dollar Store Batman Begins with the murderer’s row of villains and cameos from that first season of Flash.

That disastrous last episode of Wandavision invalidates it from consideration, I’d say.  And Flash gets bonus points for carrying forth a similar quality level over three times the number of episodes.

No one remembered that AOS was even airing by the time it hit S4.

While true, Lewis FAMOUSLY complains about the car if anything goes even slightly wrong.  There’s tons of him complaining about his tires in cars that went on to win races by large margins, for instance.

This very much seemed like a “UK Tabloids print sensationalist bullshit” story.

It was still quite good but nowhere near as special as that first season, which is fairly easily the best season of superhero TV ever produced.

This very much feels like the ending of the first season of Flash, where you came out of it thinking “they cant possibly do any better than this.”

I’m fine with it going away, since it was a Sir Frank call and he’s passed away.  But it feels like Senna is oddly under-tributed, although that’s likely because Gilles has an entire circuit named after him while Senna only has a turn.

Hang on, about to get working on my “zombie F1 driver” script treatment....

Hey, he loves sprint races!

I feel like 25% for any points to be awarded is a good compromise.

Boy, this’ll make a GREAT Drive to Survive episode!
