I can’t wait for this show to start.

Well, exactly, I was sort of taking it as read that Magnitude would be in it. Pop and, indeed, pop.
I mean, the moustache was already putting me off. Those performances (does anythone else think Branagh seems to be kind of awful here?) and some groanworthy dialogue, at least out of context, really do nothing to get me interested in it again.
Still want. With Troy and Shirley, along with Elroy and maybe Frankie (I think Hickey was killed off unceremoniously offscreen? Otherwise, throw him in too). Don’t need Duncan. And Chang only needs a role off to the side, like he was in season 1 (the Dean can be more prominent, it kind of fits for him).
Ah, good point, I’d forgotten that was coming up. Yeah, it pretty much depends if they find it as egregious as those you’ve mentioned - but it’d also need to be egregious in a different way to those others, and I can only really see it being bad in the way Crystal Skull or Force Awakens [arguably] were, not in…
While I’d like to see the Member Berries again (I’m even not opposed to the serialisation - it’s worked a lot over the last few years, even if they didn’t really stick the landing last year) I think they only returned to Trumpison because there was something to comment on. I expect they’ll go back to him when there’s…
I enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to where the season takes its characters... but one of my favourite parts of the first season was the ethics. Genuine, deep, funny conversations about ethics with no easy answers - I loved that! I’m not sure there’s room in Take Two/Three for those kinds of debates, but I hope they…
I miss Rob’s reviews. I basically stopped watching when he stopped reviewing it; without his perpelexion it wasn’t worth my own.
There’s one other reason to include an end credits scene - there might be a subplot or a theme (or even just a running joke) which the filmmaker wants to provide a conclusion to, but which there isn’t an appropriate point for BEFORE the credits. You want to cut to credits on the moment that’s significant for the film…
As others have said, How I Met Your Mother beat BoJack to the punch five years ago. It’s a shame, as this episode handles it a lot better, but having seen the former meant that I twigged the case in the latter (at least as a possibility) from pretty much the opening.
If you don’t mind the Doctor not being involved, I’d recommend the Bernice Summerfield audios. She was a companion in the novels before getting her own novel range and then her audio series, but you can start the audios with no knowledge of that, everything is covered as you go. It was the first range Big Finish…
The EPs can still get their credit (though 14 for Jessica Jones? 15 for the Defenders? The title loses all meaning), but why not after the titles have finished, thrown up over the main action? It’s what has to happen on shows without titles anyway, and it’s how Buffy and Angel always did it (just the actors and…
I only skip intros over a minute long - I took to doing that every episode for Dexter (1min45 is just too long) and sometimes for Game of Thrones. But 30-60 seconds is perfect, and gives time to really get you in tune with the show.
HOLY COW PEOPLE OF EARTH SEASON 2 STARTED?
I liked TFA, I really did. I’d argue it’s the best executed (if least original) Star Wars movie to date.
It’s just such an obvious point of reference! I’m still just astonished she missed it. She included a SUPERHERO FILM but she couldn’t mention a TWO+ DECADE SAGA FITTING THE EXACT CRITERIA SHE’S LOOKING FOR? Da actual fuq.
Ermm, RED DWARF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
It’s got a really weird balance. It’s like there’s two realities, one where MacFarlane made a 20 minute sci-fi sitcom (Red Dwarf-ish) and the other where he made a 45 minute serious-ish Star Trek homage. And somehow we wound up in the third universe where we got the sitcom episode filled out to 45 minutes with scenes…
HAVEN’T THEY SUFFERED ENOUGH?
I think it’s standard to exclude the MCU’s TV villains when judging their movie villains, because aside from Loki the movie villains just don’t compare with the best the TV shows have. Obviously there’s Kilgrave, and for some people (though not me) Fisk, but AoS has provided some utterly fantastic villains, from Kyle…
