The only problem I have with Rogue One is the fan-service ending with Darth Vader.

Definitely for me, but it’s not for everyone, and I get why. Mainly that some find that its humor/drama combo just doesn’t work. Personally, I adore it.

If I’d heard the premise of Person of Interest before it came out, I’d probably think it was like Touched by an Angel, played straight. Was not expecting it to be more about what it means to be human.

For me, Sherlock S3 was brilliant, with its Rupert Murdoch allegory, and the rest I can take or leave. Same with Elementary S1. At least with Sherlock though, though it often shows off Moffat’s worst impulses as a writer, I find those more interesting failures than post-S1 Elementary, which is just a bland, dull…

I agree that there are plenty of valid criticisms to make of The Last Jedi too, but anything that claims ‘xxx insulted the fans’ is just nonsense. Yes, Johnson was a bit dismissive in interviews, but that’s probably because of the ridiculous level of online backlash he received. Not surprised he was a little ticked…

Derry Girls for me. I just wasn’t expecting to be as clever, funny, and unsentimental as it was. Bring on Season 3.

Dear god, I forgot about Spectre of the Gun. Still one of the most batshit hours of tv ever made.

Seems that release windows in the British Isles are always whacked.

I’d rather have Daredevil Season 4.

Being in tech helps.

I call that scale ‘the anime bullshit level’. It’s a useful metric for determining what to show people who are just getting into the medium.

Different reviewers, and he admitted that he scored it too highly anyway.

It’s not really that different quality-wise from post-S2 Arrow, where the baseline is mediocre fluff with a couple of meritorious elements that lift it above being completely forgettable.

Yes, they do.

I thought Season 1, for all its flaws, was the best I think. S4 was pretty good as well. CW shows pretty much all weaken as they go along, even the best ones.

This was an interesting discussion. Steins;Gate is one of my favorite shows ever made, yet the one fly in the ointment is that it doesn’t handle its trans character particularly gracefully.

Rebuild of Evangelion was nothing short of outstanding. Even in its original, imperfect form, it was one of the best animated stories ever told. But those films brought out the magic in full form.

But can he pull off that train scene from Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door at the age of 50?

I love how the first comment people will see is pure concentrated cringe.
