Depends how you count Scott Pilgrim. Cause Chris Evans wins if you do... With Brandon Routh and Brie Larson hot-on-the heels second placers. Oh shit, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Aubrey Plaza too (she was in Legion)

I’m disappointed they didn't cast Nathan Fillion as Wonder Man because I am a big fan of his and because I believe he'd do a great job with the role. 

I would also include giving a score for season arcs. For example, I don’t actually think Tennant’s third season (with Donna as companion) has as many great episodes (compared to previous seasons), but it does play extremely well as a whole. Meanwhile, Moffat’s first couple of seasons have a lot of excellent episodes,…

RTD was always “the overarching plot doesn’t make a lot of sense, but we’ve got an emotional core to hang the beats on”, Moffat was “I’ve created a complicated puzzle box that doesn’t make any sense”, and Chibnall was “Nothing makes any sense, but DINOSAURS! (or other suitable gee whiz hijinks)“. That arguably makes…

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I absolutely recognized the RTD era’s faults as they were happening (I’ve often posted about my disdain for the WB-style teen angst romance dross and cringy missteps like the farting aliens), but I appreciated the fact that it was (IMO), overall, a very strong comeback and beyond…

To be fair, Boba Fett bombed for a lot more reasons than him being made into a good guy.

I love that so many people love it, but to be really fair the reason it didn’t work for me was not that it “bucked my expectations for a Star Wars movie”.

While I do agree he could provide something fresh; I will never forgive him derailing a trilogy he knew he was asked to be a piece of. He could have done well with one of the “a Star Wars Story” movies but he chose to make “his movie” and not the second in a trilogy. It’s a cardinal sin and it’s only by Kathleen…

I mean... do you want a list?

Why do you hate the internets!?!

Can we just move on please?

I’m shocked that you didn’t suggest the TOS-era movies. At least the even-numbered ones. Those were my introduction into Star Trek, and I think they work remarkably well. The 80s-era effects haven’t become nearly as dated as TOS’s effects, and the movies do a good job at reintroducing Kirk & Co. for an audience that…

The really big science issue is the twist in the final two episodes. For how long it is it doesn’t make sense to have worked for that long. 

This implies that the Russians knew about the bombing, otherwise how did they plan on evading security without it.

Margo’s turn is one thing that’s hard to accept. To get to that high a position and throw it all away for a man (not to mention betraying your country) is soap opera drivel.

I am decidedly not a fan of either Sisko’s “I guess I’ll abandon my wife, son, and unborn child to go off and be Space Jesus” decision, or BSG’s “Actually, it WAS God” ending.

Also also, it’s Ron Moore, so you know he’s just going to drop the ball and piss all over it in the last act of the last episode.  (See DS9, Battlestar.)

This would have been a spectacular article to write after Season 2, but after the flaming dumpster fire that was the back half of Season 3, it feels a bit incongruous.

I think it’s done in a fairly believable way. Does not feel gratuitous. There is a death in season one that is reminiscent of the Apollo 1 accident. 

FWIW, I’m late to this show, too. I watched the first episode with my wife and she didn’t like it because it leaned in so hard on the alt-history part it assumed a huge knowledge of actual space history to really understand what was different and why it mattered. I’m a space geek, so that was fine for me, but it…

He should be criticized for his work, and his identity is inseparable from that criticism. What’s concerning is the implication that he shouldn’t have ever been hired in the first place because he was not Black.
