Rapace's character went to space with 100% confirmation bias and got the entire crew killed based on a faulty assumption. It was embarrassing to call any of them scientists.

I liked Legend. I adored Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut. One of the better epics ever made. The theatrical cut though was incoherent. When Sir Ridders shoots enough film footage he can usually fix what went wrong with the theatrical cut at some point but that was impossible with Prometheus, Exodus: Gods & Kings,

It's not so much that I will or won't see it, that much is a given that I'll pass on it. My problem is that Scott is absolutely obliterating his legacy in my opinion with shitty films in the latter half of his career. It's really sad. Ridley's like an aging boxer that just keeps on taking prize fight after prize fight

Good Lord No, Sweet Baby Jesus WHY?!! The first one was one of the most ridiculously bad sci-fi movies since Ed Wood was behind the lens of a camera.

I mentioned on disqus that I didn't like the last episode and that it felt unearned, but this episode in succession with the last does work, it's just a much more dark and bleak show than I assumed it to be, but that was my mistake, not the show's mistake. It was my expectations that were wrong. This was another A

Yeah I thought so too. Quinn is starting to act just like Rachel's real mother, and that's not going to be good for Quinn, bc as Rachel's proxy mother, I fully expect Rachel to go all-in on destroying Quinn in every conceivable way possible for S2.

Yep. She dodged a bullet with marrying Jeremy. He's far too judgmental and hypocritical.

That was my take on it as well, I fully expect for Rachel to try and utterly destroy Quinn, but that won't be easy, because Quinn now owns a 40% share of the Everlasting television empire, so I guess if Rachel really wants to nuke Quinn she wouldn't accomplish it by stealing her job out from under her, but would

I personally would've preferred a more intense finale than what we got with this final episode, but it did the job it was supposed to do I guess, which was to close out the secondary and tertiary arcs, as well as set the table for season two. I still think that this is a wonderful series.

UnReal was fantastic! I think anyone would like this show tbh. Give it three episodes and see for yourself!

I would like to start off by saying that I cannot stand reality television as a whole. The reason UnREAL was so great in my opinion though, is because unlike other reality television or faux-reality tv shows that I've seen, it does seem to be an honest-to-god deconstruction of the genre, but I think the most

I won't disagree with that. Gordon's a completely selfish prick.

I highly doubt the show will survive and make it to a third season. AMC's Halt and Catch Fire has even lower ratings/viewership than Hannibal, and NBC just decapitated that show recently. Hannibal had a viewership of around 2 million(and had even upwards of 3 million in earlier seasons), but NBC's decision to axe the

I watched the entire season of the Leftovers Donald, and it ended up not being my cup of tea. Sorry!

Aww. I thought we got along pretty well. I watched up to episode 4 and I watched episode 6 but I don't like it. Is there an unwritten rule that says you cannot criticize a show on AV Club or refer to other's criticism of the show?

Wow Beema. I have never seen you exhibit fanboyitis before, you really love this season, don't you? ;P

They're all like that! I've never seen the beat! He doesn't seem to really like the show but then slaps an A or an A- or a B+ every single time!

It was just bean bag shells. Don't worry. Paul's fine. ;P

AV Club = The last critic standing up for S2 of True Detective. It reminds me of the end of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid or Thelma and Louise. Nic Pizzolatto & Erik Adams are going hand-in-hand over the cliff together come hell or high water! Haha! Willa Paskin, Emily Nussbaum, Rolling Stone, Variety, The

Did you(or anyone else) get the sense that Gordon's wife Donna basically extorted him and essentially robbed him blind and is going to leave him anyway once he turns over all their money to her as well as fixes the mainframe? She's turned out to be just as ruthlessly sociopathic as Joe was in S1 in my opinion, and
