Quantity does not equal quality. I have loved the use of varying styles and artistic direction in the fights in this show. Rand has a graceful and elegant style that befits the Iron Fist (a bit of a misnomer, given the fighting style he tends to use). Colleen Wing is much more aggressive and brutal. Thugs fight…

The problem isn't the show itself. The problem is 1) that they had a preconceived idea of the show based on wrongheaded opinions on a character they know nothing about, and this initial false outrage carried a false narrative with it that others picked up on, which means that 2) they took that negativity into the…

Well, I've actually been watching it and I couldn't disagree more. If they want Daredevil/John Wick fighting, they might be disappointed, but this is genuinely artistic and interesting fighting. Not to mention how the show *actually* treats issues of class while subverting tropes regarding ethnic stereotypes. Every…

You really think that's what this is? Have you not seen the articles across the internet for the last year that have been the equivalent of "How DARE a white man be cast as a character that has always been a white man when that character knows martial arts"?

I'd expect a bit more critical analysis, honestly. The reasons that critics have tended to give for the show being bad are usually along the lines of either 1) Danny Rand isn't Asian, and 2) variations on "Danny Rand isn't Asian, and he's a man."

Two observations:

So you're basing whether or not you watch it on how others respond?

This was really nice for a TV representation of a comic product.

That's definitely possible for Legion. Hell, anything's possible for him. He'd have to create a new personality that can do that, but it's not impossible at all.

David doesn't absorb personalities in the comics. He generates spontaneous new mutations at will, each with its own unique personality, physical representation, etc. They might make it so that he "absorbs" personalities in the show, but that's not what happens in the comic. He's an Omega-level Mutant with…

Because Sherlock is openly forced to confront those things that Molly has clearly gone through to the rest of us. He's been mostly oblivious, and now he gets it. Did you not see that in his face? That's how I saw it.

And it seems obvious to me that it was confronted and dealt with *in* the scene, in as much that we wouldn't know what these characters would do. It wouldn't be more "dramatically interesting" to me if, simply for the sake of more drama, they make people more tragic. Tragic does not equal interesting in and of…

Should I feel bad that, after the first few minutes with the boys on the phone with the plane girl, I became very suspicious that it was all just Eurus/Euros? I was hoping that it wasn't just another twist moment, but suddenly happening to be heading into London, happening to JUST start tilting, etc., made it…

That part just made my heart SING. "OH SHIT, Mycroft has an umbrella sword!" "OH SHIT, THE SWORD IS ALSO A GUN." My heart grew three sizes this night. Metaphorically of course, I don't want an enlarged heart, that would just be inconvenient and life-threatening.

I'm not sure why people needed another scene with them. The resolution is obvious. Sherlock is now fully aware of what he's done to her. He feels remorse. He's obviously going to go, explain the situation, and make it abundantly clear how remorseful his is for how he's treated her. He's a good person at heart,…

And Sherlock would notice the lack of a reflection. He's remarkably perceptive, but he can't tell when glass isn't in a wall? I love this show (even with all of the flaws I'd still give this episode a B- on the sheer force of the performances alone), but that is taking it too far.

Also, using "Santa Claus" as a name that's only recognized as two names? Not "Santa?" Hell, I rarely hear him referred to by both names. That felt more strange than anything else.

"Weird genderbending fetish?" I'm not sure what you mean. Are you referring to the Gallifreyan general who regenerates into a woman? That was established long before that episode. They can, and do, do just that.

I really don't know how there are so many people insisting that the work Moffat and Gatiss do, here and on Who, is so bad when so many people seem to enjoy it and in my own personal opinion seems very, very well put together.

This. I've always had the understanding that the third brother (or sister, as it were) would be the smartest/most clever by far, and as such potentially the most dangerous enemy imaginable, even more than Moriarty. I'm thinking that the whole Moriarty gambit is Euros' doing to throw Sherlock off just enough to get…
