This is... certainly a take.

I really disliked this season (each ep was a C- to F for me), but I think I have some genuine answers to your questions:
The supernatural shit was so silly. The one dude sitting up in bed and speaking in the demon voice about Navarro’s mother during the hospital riot... the security camera shot with the ghost or whatever appearing behind her... etc.... It was all so unnecessary. Do people not remember that nothing actually…
Stray question I have: why did the “detectives” split up when searching the tsalal station? Great way to start the end to an eyerollingly bad season.
I was pretty excited to and like you when the talk of the season 1 references became a big part of the press prior to the premiere I got a little put off. Then I really tried to like it but... nothing. For six episodes nothing compelling really happened. Then there is all the supernatural stuff which was dialed up to…
Did we watch the same ending!?
Oh, and reading back through the reviews for this season it’s good to see the AVC is still using writers who are too busy on their laptops or phones to pay attention to the show they’re supposed to be reviewing. Why watch when you can just invent details or pose silly questions that were explicitly answered on screen?
I was genuinely excited for this season, especially for Foster, Hawkes, Eccleston, and Shaw. Saw a couple interviews with Lopez that quelled that a bit but was still cautiously optimistic. I’m glad I waited til today to binge this because this was a sloppy, disjointed mess. The acting was the only good thing about it,…
There’s always one, always that one guy who insists, insists that it’s just nostalgia and music is always, always good, it’s just that old timers aren’t with it man.
I’d certainly think twice about employing anyone who had consented to being interviewed by Piers Morgan.
Now if there would be some comic book hero that fought crime by dancing, that might be made into a movie.
Lot of truth to that. Not much international interest in American-themed dance movies when India, China, countries in Europe are great at their own dance flicks.
A Superman movie is no place for someone who stands up for what’s right.
I don’t want to go back to that either, but GED-hopefuls giggling at my digitally-rendered naked body is not going to prevent it.
Aside from maybe bachata, salsa, and merengue, that kind of dancing isn’t popular any more, and definitely not enough to make money in theaters or streaming for a studio to take a risk on it. Dancing these days is all about daggering, grinding, and twerking to Ice Spice now.
Getting past the security checkpoint is one thing, but how the hell do you get on the plane without a ticket? I mean they scan all of the boarding passes on your way onto the plane.
It doesn’t seem or feel intuitive but it’s true. Even though aircraft safety was objectively also much worse than today, flying back then I was legitimately more worried about some sort of hijacking or terror event than crashing. Mind you I was also quite worried about the Bermuda Triangle, quicksand, abduction by…
I mean... The 60s/70s were also a very different time than even the 90s or 00s...
Where’s the music that’s danceable, and doesn’t make you want to impale your ears with rusted sporks? Show me that and I’ll show you a dance movie.
I gave up once they started the storyline where they were going to have surgery performed on his dick during the MTV music video awards and everyone thought it was a great idea. But prior to that there were some really good episodes.
