The choreography was so miserablely conceived the fight scenes are overtly bland. Also, Heath being too methodical doesn’t make a series or a director. The rest of the series is boring or so fake they’re unwatchable.

How do we get engaged in all this horse crap? Please publish the list of people running against folks like Bill Kintner, so I can support them and get this creep out of office. Gawker, my advice is every time you mention one of these fools, publish the candidate that is running against them. I’d happily give that…

Westworld was boring and underwhelming.

Yeah, I have little idea of what he could have done, other than, as he did, push for Hillary’s election in a pretty unprecedented way. He flat out told the American people Trump was unfit, for christ’s sake.

What Westworld needs to do in season 2: Get new showrunners. Nolan and Joy have created an incoherent mess that just makes no sense on any level. The pointless mystery box guessing game undercuts any audience investment in the already underwritten and cliched characters; the deceptive multi-timeline editing is…

“Westworld has a lot to say, almost too much.”

Yes, I’ll be watching the finale. I guess.

It’s lazy storytelling any way you cut it. “Here’s a bunch of mysteries we’ll never solve and some fairly unoriginal philosophy about the nature of identity.” Novels can sometimes get away with that, but it gets awfully boring in a TV series.

How is this happening? Because at the core, America is a bankrupt, corrupt as fuck empire and you are seeing the proof in the flesh.

i did but that was on purpose, i could digest reboot 1, took a bite of my chair during 2 (it actually tasted better than the popcorn) and the trailers for this one proved again that a franchise that in the past actually managed to be clever and provoke thought was turning into the same cgi feast that is transformers,…

At which point it wasn’t a “great sci-fi movie you may have missed but shouldn’t have” but a “ok sci-fi movie you missed because you correctly guessed what it would be like.”

Dr. Who has not been something that I love for several years now. Yes, it *can* be many things, but it has not been for the majority of Moffat’s run.

Pffff. RTD knew how to write a plot that didn’t fall apart if you thought about it for 30 seconds. Moffat completely fails at that. Many if not most of his “great” stories make absolutely no sense, and constitute a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.

Worst. io9. post. evar.

STOP calling them Alt Right!!! They are NEO NAZIS!! The fact that they’ve given themselves a harmless sounding name does not change what they truly are.

Very odd. It’s a prequel (basically 15 minutes into the past, from a certain OT point of view) but it still feels more progressive than Nostalgia Awakens.

This movie feels like it has its own theme, where Ep 7's marketing felt like “it’s Star Wars, you like Star Wars, right? You’ll see this, it’s whatever it is.” Somehow, despite all the X-wings, AT-ATs, the whole Death Star, this actually feels like a real movie and not leveraged nostalgia.

I don’t know about you all, but I have found Black Mirror season 3 to be entirely disappointing so far (watched 2 episodes). Did it become pretty bad when Netflix ordered this season? I remember feeling so on-the-edge-of-my-seat for the first two seasons, but this last couple of episodes are just... meh.

Why do we call them “alt-right” instead of “white supremacists”?
