Because Footloose is a terrible, terrible movie?
Because Footloose is a terrible, terrible movie?
Voyager is way too underrated. Once Seven arrived, it’s a good show. And very woman-focused which is interesting and ahead of its time so much that no science fiction show since has yet matched it. The Janeway-Torres-Seven connection becomes a fascinating examination of female relationships.
Jodie Whittaker was a fantastic Doctor who also had an amazing Master to bounce off of; in fact, Sacha Dhawan is my favourite NuWho incarnation of the Master. It helped that they had an incredible chemistry where you were never sure if they were going to kill each other or fuck, or both, at any moment.
I think that the show had spent ever more time on “the Doctor is so alone and sad and alone and troubled by his past and alone” with Tennant, Smith and Capaldi, and it was nice to see Whittaker being a lot brighter and more optimistic again. She gave the sense that, even after all these thousands of years of life, the…
Sapphire and Steel is beyond weird. Do check it out.
I mean, who cares, though?
Shame, it’s terrific. Hopefully word of mouth will give it legs.
I’m more of a simpering Trek apologist that most of you(s) but that was simply poor writing start to finish. (Was this written prior to the writers’ strike?) What even was that secret Toronto’s institute’s function?: “All temporally critical items R us”?? And that time shifting garage opener; egads could you have more…
Can’t they just move Chris Pine to Strange New Worlds and be done with it? SNW is perfect, save for it’s choice for playing Kirk - sorry Paul Wesley, you are great, but just not a good fit.
One hundred and fifty comments in this thread, and not a single mention of Blake’s 7. Fucking crazy.
This list is immediately invalidated by the fact that “Radio Free Europe” isn’t included in the top 10.
Once again, “Leave” never gets the credit it so rightly deserves.
Looked at the list instead of the slide show for a quick spotting.
Farscape is actually really consistently morally scrupulous, no? Despite the heists and guns, for the most part Crichton especially resists violence. and with some characters espousing outright pacifism. Even the finale was a bid for deescalation.
The last episode of Blake’s 7, plus the one where Zen dies. That had me in tears (I was about 9 at the time).
Wictorious, surely
I’ve always been a supporter of Tin Machine. It’s scattershot, but it’s fun and refreshing deck-clearing, and you’re absolutely right that it was a few years ahead of its time in terms of the response it could have gotten. You could take both records, eliminate the dross and the lamentable tunes where the drummer…
I’m actually fond of The Final Frontier. Mind you, I don’t consider it a particularly good movie. I mean, there are major tonal problems (most of the attempts at broad humor), and the seams of the threadbare production values definitely show. But it’s really a sweet, thoughtful, throwback of a science fiction movie.
Hit-Monkey outranks them all, because it’s about a Hit-Monkey. Real simple.
