Shoemaker? A super hero film that quickly became a disaster? There's a joke in there somewhere…
Done.
I'll give you that. Kirk was a rootin', tootin' cowboy at a time when space was like the wild west. However, the galaxy had more or less been tamed one hundred years later. I always assumed from Picard's actions on Next Generation that a measure of civility and decorum was expected from star ship captains, and that…
Okay, okay, it's been marked. This show is twenty years old at this point, but I suppose I must concede that not everyone has seen it.
When you take For the Uniform into consideration, along with, uh, later events, it's clear that Benjamin, for all his bluster and sanctimony, is the most ethically challenged of the Star Trek captains. Then again, I don't think any of the other captains were ever put into such desperate, hopeless situations… not ones…
Batman had tried repeatedly to reform Two-Face in the original series, but by TNBA, it was clear he was beyond redemption and that Bruce had quit trying. I think it may have had to do with Two-Face murdering people, like the new Robin's father. Once you cross that line, Batman shows no forgiveness.
He kind of did! Check out the comment by the Space Pope.
Thanks for (reviving) the memories, Oliver. I've been reading these reviews from the start, and it's fantastic that the AV Club was able to see them through from beginning to end.
"Don't order the space special!"
It could have just been for the convenience of the audience. Mora could have gone into a long-winded anecdote to explain a Bajoran equivalent, but this is a time-saver.
Good review, especially the second half. The reason I come to the AV Club is not for the coverage of the latest episodes of currently broadcast series, but to read reviews of all the shows I loved in the 1990s. Truly, it was a golden age for television.
Fair enough. Usually I change the channel or flip on Netflix, but for some reason I sat through this. It's probably not the right place to air my grievances about this series, but I see everyone else get excited about HIMYM and I'm just at a loss as to WHY.
HIMYM is always straining for its jokes.
I never liked HIMYM (there's a dirty joke in there somewhere which I'm sure Barney would appreciate), and although this episode was more tolerable than most, it shared the same problem I've noticed with several of the other episodes… it's obscenely overplotted. Barney has a fifteen point checklist for a bachelor…
Augh! Why do you keep calling him Steakflower? It's Jones! JOOOOOOONES!
LONE STAAAAR!
My neighbor was trying to selfishly keep his big screen television for himself, but when I took it from his living room, he generously shared his bullets with me!
How 'bout Once Upon a Time, the episode where Buster Keaton travels to the far-flung future of 1960? I thought that had its moments, especially in the beginning and end when the characters were in a silent movie.
