Honestly I was kind of glad that Jamal was the gay one because if you ask me, Hakeem being gay would've been even more typical. The whole "d/l homo thug" thing would be too easy of a reason for his bad decisions.

I was actually taken aback by Lucious throwing Jamal in the trash. I was fully prepared for a beating but I was definitely not expecting that.
I have the same feelings for this that I did How To Get Away With Murder after it's pilot episode. It's fast paced, rife with relatively lowbrow scandalous material that's bound to draw viewers and it's solidly acted (also the music ain't half bad either). I feel like there's potential for a good show here but there's…
I respectfully disagree. It was definitely a visual feast but that movie is a disaster in terms of storytelling and don't even get me started on how terribly Snyder handled the "female empowerment" aspect of the film. Honestly I think the movie would've turned out much better if they had cut out all of the…
I don't have to like them to find them engaging. We're living in an age where full of TV characters who aren't particularly likeable but still fascinating. Barbara and Montoya are both extremely unlikeable AND not even remotely engaging.
I feel like CW gets a bad wrap due to it's mostly vapid beginnings but it's churned out some real gems in it's recent years starting with Nikita and continuing recently with Jane The Virgin.
Season 1 Skye may have been an annoying Mary Sue and Laurel may have been totally useless for a majority of the show but I never once hated them as much as I do Barbara or Montoya.
Snyder works best when you have capable writers doing the heavy lifting on the storytelling side of things so he can focus on making everything pleasing to the eyes. The moment he gets anywhere near the pen or works with hacks then you get stinkers like Sucker Punch and to a much lesser but still disappointing degree,…
That's great assessment. Hopefully it's able to last as long and be as consistently good as Parks.
Holt and the Nine Nine's relationship growth is a case of great organic writing. In the first season Holt was the new captain so there would inevitably be some friction due to everyone still feeling each other out and him feeling like he had to be a hard ass to establish dominance (especially with Jake). By season two…
I laughed a little too hard when he murdered Vacation Terry
The way the Jake/Holt plot wrapped up was just delightful. I was grinning like an idiot as the episode closed out. I'm really loving the way that this season has effectively humanized Holt while not really changing him at all.
You could hear the "Your mother should've swallowed" radiating off his face
I agree there. He definitely had to go (you don't just got off for murdering 18 people in cold blood, especially when the situation was avoidable) and I applaud the show for knowing that and not dragging it out into a full on redemption arc. I wish that they at least had someone in the group that didn't forgive him so…
I don't think it's so much that Finn is oblivious to the consequences of his actions though. If anything after them showing us the true reason why he's called "Spacewalker" (which I saw coming a mile away once they started the flashbacks) it shows that, at least back then, he's very aware. Let's not forget that he…
I disagree about the beginning being weak (preposterous? Yea, but it resonated with me more than I thought it would've) but the excellent world being is on point. That world building alone and just giving us enough character background (this might be the first action movie that I've seen where damn near everyone is…
Shoot Em Up is super underrated if you ask me
I can respect that. Schmidt was indeed at his absolute worst that season and it took time for Coach to find his place in the group. I actually enjoyed insane Winston though (IMA HIT YO ASS WITH A SKI!).
LMFAO! Yo I completely forgot about that
Seriously, they've taken the improvements from the back end of season 4 and progressed even further as a show. They're finally reaching their potential and if they keep improving then come season 6 it'll probably be on the list.
