I don’t know, 4th and 5th season are some of my favorites of the show. The new Freighter arrivals were awesome additions over some of the original cast who were going stale, the plight of the survivors who made it back to the mainland was gripping, and the time travel adventures of season 5 was audacious. It was a…

If it works it works.  I imagine much like me and BSG, the closer you get to the ending and the stuff that didn’t work becomes more of the narrative, the less rewatchable it gets.  But I guess that’s any series. 

This is accurate, but I’d argue that HIMYM suffers from the same rewatchability as the other shows you mentioned. I guess it depends on the episode and how “mother” mystery dependent it is.

The Lost finale is such a complicated situation for everything you said. Set aside from the larger problems of the series and final season as a whole, it is as you said an incredible looking piece of television. The actual action on the island of Jack vs. “Locke” is a fantastic action set piece, especially for a…

The Mary Tyler Moore Show is another good one they missed.

No “All Good Things” from Star Trek: The Next Generation is a huge omission.

So Magneto was the leader of the first Brotherhood, but Mystique was the leader of the totally independent second Brotherhood. This is old 60's/70s comics, but Magneto tended to be written as a meglomaniac back then, while Mystique distinguished herself immediately as a tactical genius.

Captain America for sure went direct to video, despite them definitely putting up those coming soon posters.

I could’ve sworn it had a brief theatrical window, too, but I know I saw it on VHS. They may have marketed it for theaters before deciding against it. Perhaps it snuck through in some markets? Wikipedia says it was released theatrically in the rest of the world.  (Or maybe Wiki is just wrong, who knows?)

I’m not gonna go to bat for Lawrence vs Romijn, but both film versions of the character are so unlike the comics version that I hesitate saying either is a better version of the character.

I was going to point this out, but upon research I found that it was never theatrically released in the U.S.  I guess that was part of the criteria.  (Also why the 1990 Captain America movie was left out, I guess)

I think you are absolutely right. They didn’t play up the comic book connection with Blade hardly at all when it came out.  That it felt more like a horror action movie and less like a superhero film undoubtedly helped it. 

I would put X2 above First Class. Spider-Man 3 should be below Deadpool 2 at the very least.

It could’ve been written clearer, but I’m taking this as meaning Blade proved more obscure comic book characters were potential hot theatrical commodities.  

1. Luke vs Vader at Cloud City (TESB)

Strange saw all possibilities. You have to go with the narrative logic that if Strange had forewarned Quill or anyone else, it would not have worked out and blown the one shot. Or if had used the time stone trick like he did on Dormammu, Thanos would have been able to get out of it using the other stones.

IV had a really great concept with Superman deciding to get serious about nuclear weapons. I can squint and see a potentially compelling movie during that early part of the film. But it goes down the tube fast with all the Nuclear Man stuff.

Breakfast Time, thank you! It kept feeling weird for me to see this referred to as Morning Show. Yes, I liked all the FX hosts alot. I was glad to spot Tom Bergeron in other shows after it all ended.  Laurie Hibbard, their other cohost, used to be an entertainment anchor for my local news station, so it was fun for me…

What memories. FX launched in 1994 with a peculiar setup- instead of having a traditional production studio, they filmed all their news and talk shows on the renovated floor of a Manhattan apartment building. It’s why this video looks like it’s in a living room- it essentially is.

Looked up Phil Pirello and he seems older than Gen Z.
