For the record, all that Sisko did was make one planet uninhabitable to humans. Cardassians could still move in.

Yup, the low points for me are probably Joe with his gascan, and then in season 2 Joe with his very serious baseball bat.

Awww, season 1 is pretty good in retrospect. It’s a rocky introduction, but we need to see Joe at his most cartoonish to set up the rest of his story. And the back half of that season is genuinely great, once Donna gets involved in the plot.

I don’t understand how most of the acting in this is worse than any given episode of TNG was 35 years ago.

I’m glad to know that I’m not the only person who saw his name, and then immediately signed on.

A radio show used to read stories from one of Novak’s books (I’m not sure which one, because apparently he has a few), and I was always floored by how bad they were. They were trying for the whole Garrison Keillor folksy fable vibe, but were not well constructed at all. So this review doesn’t surprise me.

The avclub newswire doesn’t love you bro, no matter how hard you simp.

I feel like that was intended to be a joke, except that it’s not funny.

I think the script could/should be rewritten so that Favreau’s & Newton’s characters didn’t die during the trainheist. Instead let the whole crew hang around for all of the shenanigans.

To a certain extent he had the same problem that DeHann had in Valerian: he just doesn’t look like a space cowboy. (although Dehann’s actual performance was much worse).

All of the press said “Oh, he’s not that much shorter than Ford.” But onscreen he really seemed a little short to be a Han Solo.

Rogue One needed to work towards the endpoint of (spoilers?) everyone dying. And given those constraints it works pretty well.

Huh, I see that now. And true to form it looks extremely canadian.

So this isn’t a Reboot reboot?

The article mentions both bloodshot and bloodsport, which had me wondering about deadshot. (I do not remember anything about what happened to Will Smith’s character in the first movie)

For all of the behind-the-scenes drama, the editing (also maybe cinematography) of this one just works. There’s a rhythm and momentum to the cuts that hits me deepdown, right from the first scene with Mikkelsen & Mendelsohn.

There is so much good stuff in there: Cobra as an mlm scheme, the Freds, the Chaplain’s School Motor Pool...plus there's all the ninja stuff, and art by guys like MD Bright and Ron Wagner.

I think a lot of the nostalgia (or even most of the nostalgia?) comes from Larry Hama’s 10+ year comic run, which was shamelessly advertised along with the toys during the tv show.

AVClub: This movie is pretty terrible.

The stuff in the TVA has looked great. But the stuff outside just...doesn’t.
