Babakiueria
I'm not Australian, I've never been to Australia, and I only know the very, very broad strokes of the country's colonial history. So, I'm sure there's a lot in this 1986 short film that's going over my head.
Bewitched S1E7: "The Witches are Out"
I'm not sure if this show ever realized what it was actually saying. Maybe it did. But I don't think so.
Malcolm in the Middle S2E20: "Bowling"
A creative idea for an episode, saddled with mostly lazy writing and unfunny jokes.
Dr. Who: "Rose"
When I put it in writing "zany impish guy is now a traumatized veteran" sounds like an edgy juvenile deconstruction. It isn't, though. It really, really isn't.
"Wednesday" vis a vis "Adult Wednesday Addams"
let's see who seems to have done it better.
Altered Carbon S1E5: "The Wrong Man" (continued)
Did the writers even read their own scripts?
Altered Carbon S1E5: "The Wrong Man"
Time to keep kicking my way through this overproduced trainwreck.
Altered Carbon S1E4: “Force of Evil” (continued)
It's got a really strong sort of JJ Abrams "look at how intricate and clever I think I am" asspull feel to it.
Altered Carbon S1E4: “Force of Evil”
The sort of charisma she uses is equal parts primal fear and primal allure. Like you can't tell if you're afraid she's about to burst out of her human suit and tear you to shreds, or if she's just the sexiest thing ever
....okay, rereading that paragraph right after I wrote it is making me a little worried about myself, ngl.
Altered Carbon S1E3: "In a Lonely Place" (continued)
Kovacs' writing might not measure up to his baseline in this scene. Hubert might be making me hate him. But, try as one might, there is simply no outdoing Detective Kirsten "Garfield Minus Garfield" Ortega.
Altered Carbon S1E3: "In a Lonely Place"
How are Kovacs and Ortega in the same script? It's seriously night and day.
Altered Carbon S1E2: “Fallen Angel” (part 3)
Oh god what has Ortega been doing to this corpse she stole holy fuck why.
Altered Carbon S1E2: “Fallen Angel” (continued)
He's one of the good slumming meths. When he kills one of his favorite hookers, he always buys them a brand shiny new sleeve, often younger, healthier, and hotter than the body they had before.
"Whenever" he kills one.
Altered Carbon S1E2: “Fallen Angel”
It turns out that Laurens Bancroft is...well, exactly as popular as you'd expect.
Altered Carbon S1E1: “Out of the Past” (continued unto the conclusion)
Raven is the best. I really hope that Kovacs stays in that hotel in the semi-long term, so that Raven isn't just a one episode wonder. Hell, I want Raven to be the Cortana to Kovacs' Master Chief and play adjutant/dispatch for him over neural commlink. It's not like that would be much sillier than the baseline for this show. Yeah, I'll say it: I fucking ship it.
Altered Carbon S1E1: “Out of the Past” (continued)
Kovacs is so much better written than any of the other characters that he actually feels out of place in this show.
Altered Carbon S1E1: “Out of the Past”
Industrial commodification of human minds and bodies. It's almost like this is cyberpunk or something.
“The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” (part four)
It's good. It could be really, really good with better production values, a bigger cast, and maybe a liiiittle bit of trimming and moving things around here and there. It might come close to greatness, but there are too many really fundamental flaws (the mostly so-so music being the biggest) for it to get all the way there in my opinion.
“The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” (part three)
His name is Bill, not Tim. Wonder how I could have misheard that?
