#1 and #2 are in exactly the right spots, although you could make a convincing argument for flipping those numbers.
The Kelvin Enterprises are just dreadful.

“And I find it strange that the writer thinks From Russia with Love launched “action” Bond. I’ve always considered FRWL to be the “smallest” Bond in terms of stakes.”

I found that strange too. FRWL was a pretty low-key affair. Goldfinger was the movie that first established many of the classic Bond tropes. 

That was the plan, originally. “Never Say Never Again” led them to recast Moore instead of reboot him. Pity, that.

I think the Bond movies started to get goofier around Goldfinger? From Russia with Love is a pretty straightforward spy flick with very little in common with later Bond movies. It’s still one of my favorites, though.

I feel the same way about Moonraker. It’s deliriously stupid, with climax that features astronauts firing laser blasters, but it’s just a good time.

I’ll second your vote for Cheers. I personally couldn’t stand Diane, so I enjoyed S6-11 more than S1-5, even while admitting that the overall quality of writing was superior in the first five seasons. (Diane Chambers was the worst).

And I actually think Rebecca Howe was a really good character for her first three…

I don’t know much of anything about Lost, although I’ve heard it had a terrible ending. But I do know that Abrams thought it was a good idea to try and make a reboot of The Wrath of Khan without a single good idea in its 133 minute run time.

His Star Trek movies are a pure hack job. They’re written as if by someone…

I, for one, don’t know why Ray’s parentage should matter one bit to anything. Some people are force-sensitive. Others are not. That’s all it is, all it has ever been.

Nor do I care that Snoke was killed off so unceremoniously. He wasn’t ominous or even interesting in TFA, so I really couldn’t be bothered to care when…

The line about Jake being married to a know-it-all was my favorite bit of the episode.

Not just mansplaining, either; there was definitely a note of racism in his voice talking about a “half-Asian roommate.” Total douche.

I’m coming in here real late - over a year after the fact, but I’d just like to point out that no human can travel at 9 gs for 11 minutes. At that acceleration, you’d lose consciousness in mere seconds. Sixty seconds of 9 ge-force acceleration would likely be lethal.

It took me two minutes of internet research to…

I feel that way. Only The Mandalorian interests me, and I’ll just wait for the whole series to come out. Pay for a month of Disney, watch it and bounce.

Abbey Road - one of the most iconic album covers ever. They’re not facing the camera, but all in the same direction.

The sentence is missing a preposition (to), to be fair.

I haven’t seen Star Trek Beyond. Into Darkness was so terrible that I lost all interest in NuTrek.

Having said that, J.J.’s Trek reboot also established that people still drink Budweiser and use Sprint cell phones. I don’t think we can use the alternate reality of the reboot series as examples of familiarity with…

I also might be willing to watch the first five seasons. But 15 seasons is too damn many episodes. It’s taken me well over a year to watch 11 seasons of Cheers (I’m still not finished, either) and those are sitcom-length!

Barclay wasn’t a 12-year-old boy. He was a grown man and an officer aboard the flagship of the Federation.

Me too. It helps that the whole final arc of S4 was rescuing Aeryn from said Scarran threat.

Didn’t that AMC show about a train (Hell’s Wheels?) go on for like five seasons? Not exactly a failure...
