He elevates everything he’s in.

Emerson’s relapsed into being a villain again!

Just in general, it lost me once it became clear that everything would be alright. I needed to actually believe that Leslie could fail to invest in her successes.

Yeah, that’s killed Parks and Recreation for me.

Hey, Goldeneye is great!

If you take AV Club commenters as a representative sample, perhaps. I doubt that they actually are representative though.

It’s ok-decent, from my recollection.

Pretty much the only thing I like about The Dark Knight Rises is Tom Hardy. Although that counts for a lot, it’s just...strange. It goes full A Tale of Two Cities for no other reason than because it can. It’s ridiculously stupid but expects us to take it all deathly seriously (remember when Bruce gets a crucial story…

The opening scene of Spectre is pretty damn good, too. It’s a shame about the Into Darkness style twist midway through.

You are correct.

Character studies are not ‘expendable’.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is probably the best space opera ever made.

There’s lots of contenders for that. But I feel it’s certainly in the top tier.

And basically all of the episodes stand on their own merits as satisfying stories. It doesn’t fall into the pitfall of modern tv.

Sympathy for the Devil and Pierrot Le Fou are probably my two favorites. Wonder how those will translate to live action.

Damn. Well I disagree but I respect that take.

I mean, I think The Late Phillip J. Fry definitely deserves an A. Along with Meanwhile and Near Death Wish. But yeah, S1's grades are probably too low.

Futurama has always been in The Simpsons’ shadow in the eyes of the general public, I think.

Yeah, I’m referring to Family Guy. S4 is probably the best season of Family Guy.

The first three seasons (and even season 4) are pretty good. The show just got ridiculously lazy at a certain point, and became bottom of the barrel garbage.
