Still hard to see her made with ‘me in mind’ when I’m watching her in a strapless top.

The Village part I was okay with. But you have a large swath of land where no one’s been able to pass for most of the war, and one quasi-kinda-(again not defined)-bulletproof person cramming behind a tiny shield and makes her way across the field. First piece of BS - she’s able to block every bullet from everyone in…

While I don’t agree with your level of dislike for the movie (So many movies out there are SO much worse) I agree that this movie is cotton candy - sugary fluff with no actual substance. I’m upset that in this ‘feminist’ styled movie my favorite character is the guy. The movie was fine as a summer blockbuster but it…

The No Man’s Land scene is overblown. It’s pretty, but story-wise it is just clunky. That’s not how any of that would have happened. It was so much terrible fluff you can’t take it seriously. The movie gets just enough right you can mostly handwave away the schlocky stuff, but that scene was too much. Pretty, but…

I order a meal, it comes out with incorrect ingredients, improperly prepared, but it’s the chef’s ‘take’ on the meal, despite the fact it does not relate to what he represented it on the menu. It’s a crap meal.

Right - but that wasn’t the intention behind the show. That’s the point. “It was never meant to” isn’t what they intended, that’s what you accepted to get through the show. The truth was more “Shit, we lost the guys writing that part and we needed to come up with some more story to fill in holes, so we made a bunch of…

And yet, people got vested in the show because we were told there would be answers and things would be explained. It was the promise that things would make sense that made all the details worth knowing. I remember being part of the community breaking down each part of the first season thrilled at trying to figure out…

You can’t tell people what they can like, but liking something does not absolve shows of their failures. I can most assuredly say that the Bay Transformers movie is everything wrong with storytelling and big blockbusters in movies today. Similarly, there have been enough people breaking down where Lost went wrong that…

Wow, high praise for a show that doesn’t deserve it. Honestly any show listed in the article is more worth the binge time. Lost speaks to some people, but I’ve found them to be few and far between.

Seconded. How do you rationalize skipping 2 out of 13 episodes? I’ll agree if I had to pick 2, those are it, but seriously?

Normally I’m 100% on board. But there are a couple shows (The Wire, DS9) that I am constantly recommended that I just can’t motivate myself to watch. I think in this case a list is really helpful to at least get me started, so it doesn’t feel so daunting. And likely, if the show speaks to people, they’ll give up the…

Lost season 1 was great. Then it slipped down and never stopped. Tho you are right and at least now people realize there will be a mega-ton of loose threads you’ll never learn - whereas watching it at the time the creators actually said the exact opposite (which just made the show worse for the disappointment). Give…

That show is so friggin rewatchable. I have to stop myself from just leaving it playing in the background when I’m working cause I just want to sit and watch it all again.

Ugh. Bear. His addition was great, but ffs to hear people lament great episodes because the damn dog wasn’t in it was beyond frustrating. Honestly made me wish they hadn’t added him at all.

If you stop after season 4 and ignore a terrible writing choice they made just to keep the show going, you can mentally end the show with a “Happily Ever After.”

I’m a big fan of The Americans, but it’s not for everyone. That’s what some people are forgetting in this binge culture, there are a lot of ‘to taste’ shows out there. Some shows you have to ‘want’ to watch before starting or you won’t last long enough to see it get good. I absolutely hated Doctor Who (hadn’t watched…

Personally my love for the show would keep me from paring down the show as much as it probably needs. For a long while it was the subtle hints at the bigger picture tagged on to the episode-of-the-weeks that kept me coming back.

The humor is missing from Big Bang Theory. It’s a terrible show that, like two and a half men, just keeps pulling in viewers who likes to turn their brain off for TV. It’s painful. Watch one of the videos where people have removed the laugh track, and it becomes painfully obvious what a terrible and unfunny show it is.

I’ve always hated Big Bang Theory, and a fair part of that was Sheldon. To see a show spun off on that character, just the fact this show will last 5+ seasons makes me nauseous.

Absolutely is the same thing based on how you suggest people get over your absolutely selfish actions. Nice attempt at deflecting though.
