Aladdin prepares for his final wish:

Throw in a mechanical steam powered spider and we’ve got the makings of Wild Wild West 2.

Apples and oranges.

It’s not even a fair fight, Dumbledore is just a human wizard, Gandalf is effectively an Angel serving God.

I thought it was a very accurate portrayal of what would happen if a 12 year old boy actually found out he was a powerful demigod - he’d be an insufferable shit about it and make his father regret ever telling him.

I just hope that they maintain the core of optimism that should be at the heart of every Star Trek show. STD dropped that ball in favor of Battlestar Galactica grimdark grittyness and suffered for it.

Wesley gets divorced, and moves back home while he sorts his life out. Only to find that his mother is away captaining a medical ship, so he’s stuck with his stepdad.

That ship has sailed. No one can replace Majel.

I, for one, cannot wait until the inevitable Lwaxana Troi episode where they reminisce about that one night on the Enterprise D . . . 

I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for that old man and his Android!

Then they really failed in my eyes. The log entries served as short, succinct vehicles for exposition or insight into a characters state of mind. Discovery’s pervasive monologues come off like a sophomore philosophy student’s essay mixed with a comic book thought bubble. The fact that it’s nearly always Michael just…

Lens flares... nothing but 40 minutes of lens flares.

God I hope they don’t overthink this. I’m all for something deeper and more cerebral, but I really hope they keep some element of fun in it. I’m not looking for “The Picard Mysteries - a weekly interstellar whodunit” but if you’re going to take one of the most admired characters in the franchise and knock him down a…

I’m deeply, DEEPLY hoping that “psychological” doesn’t mean more of the psuedo intellectual voiceovers with swimmy camera angles that they’re CONSTANTLY doing on Discovery. That aesthetic wore out on me about the third time they used it. It’s perfectly possible to have deep, intelligent writing without indulgent,…

From what I recall the first 8 or 12 episodes were the initial order, and have a much more different tone than the rest of the series - it was a monster hit out of the gate and they retooled it to be a bit lighter.

The first season was so dark. It was all about the desperation of having unfulfilled dreams while living in the stifling reality of a podunk town.

Glee and How I Met Your Mother....two shows that came, went, and have almost been forgotten. Was it because both, once viewed as a whole series, became unbearable to re-watch?

The pilot was so good. It felt fun and sharp, wholly different from what was on TV on the time. I stuck around for a few episodes more, but I just couldn’t. Its writers took the worst part of the episode—the “Don’t Stop Believin’” bit, which only worked in contrast to the rest of it—and made the series about that…

I stopped watching when Sue Sylvester, the woman who once pushed a random student down the stairs out of spite, came out against bullying.

Why are you knocking down Rachel, when she’s This Close to Regionals!
