    Batwoman

    I just dont understand why shows feel the need to shove my face in a character's sexual preference unless it is a plot point for what I'm watching.

    Orange Is the New Black

    Piper as a main character was always trash. She might be a good actress(?) but the character she portrays is not compelling in the least. The tertiary characters were always the best part of this show.

    John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)

    Don't be naive j00t - Ripley wasn't the only main character in Aliens, specifically Corporal Hicks - and Ripley -does- die in Alien 3. V is as much a protagonist as Natalie Portman's character - anti-heroes are still heroes. The great thing about Predator is that the enemy held a completely...

    John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)

    Sorry, I guess I just expect more from my action movies, or maybe I like bad guys that aren't just there to showcase how awesome the protagonist is. If that's your thing - then fine, John Wick does that in spades, I just find it boring. How many times can he shoot nameless bad guys with aim so...

    John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)

    A comedy? I feel like you're just trolling at this point however, as a protagonist doesn't have to die in a movie (Terminator, End of Days) for it to be believable that they can possibly be harmed. It's okay though, you love John Wick, moving on...

    John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)

    It's somehow less believable because <insert 300+ extras with guns> can't seem to kill one man. Arnold hanging off a jet fighter in True Lies also includes the suspension of belief - but you at least feel like he MIGHT be in some sense of danger. Is it incredible and far fetched? Yes - does it...

    John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)

    Most other action movies have a supporting cast the protagonist engages with, which can be leveraged against the protagonist by the story elements to add a sense of suspense or danger. Once they offed John's dog it's just hours of him vs. the world, and suspension of belief only goes so far...

    John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)

    I guess I'm the only one who doesn't see the hype for this. First one was pretty good, second one was boring because you were basically watching a demi-god kill cattle for an hour and a half. No tension that your protagonist can be stopped or killed = boring action flick.

    Lucifer

    I'm incensed too but seriously, they've dragged this Decker in the Dark about the Devil bit on for a reaaaaaaaaaaaaally long time now. It looks like Lucifer is trying way too hard to find ways to not tell her the truth. How hard is it to fucking open your wings in front of her. Hope it's picked...

    Marvel's Jessica Jones

    This was awful. Take a bad ass antihero with an amazing villain and personal growth for both herself and her supporting cast, then throw it in a dumpster and set it on fire for Season 2.

    Marvel's Jessica Jones

    Tenant played a legit terrifying Kilgrave and the potential for him to do so much more was always lurking in the background.

    The Shannara Chronicles

    Just finished ep 1 of season 2 - it's okay - nothing crazy. We'll see how they can carry this, smokin hot Amberle was enough to keep you watching through all of S1, no matter how bad the story was hacked up.

    The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)

    I thought it was OK for what it was - a sci fi flick ala Event Horizon with a tie-in to Cloverfield. That's pretty much what was delivered. The entanglement dimension-shifting stuff was weird- but lets remember that in Cloverfield Lane there were -aliens- and they managed to somehow rip a...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Most of the tertiary characters were great in DS9 - but then again DS9 was the farthest from "Trek" than any other series IMO, especially once it found its legs and went more procedural through the Dominion War. It helps that the setting was a space station vs. a starship. Gul Ducat was a pretty...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Can you imagine being that actor though? His usefulness on the show was zero, he literally was there for plucky comic relief and he was horrible at it. 7 Seasons of why is this guy not dead? Quark should be the singular, shining example of a non critical character that is fleshed out and...

    Black Mirror

    Hmm I think I got my series/season stuff mixed - although Black Museum is one of my favorites of the whole series, for the season it'd probably be BM, Hang the DJ, Callister, Metalhead, Crocodile, Arkangel. Series I'm torn on, probably BM, San Junipero, 15m, Playtest, White Christmas. Oh and...

    The Orville

    Meh, all I know is mothers do anything for their kids, and this dude was keeping her from her kids. She asked to be let go and he refused. Looks to me like she was immune to Stockholms Syndrome more than anything.

    The Orville

    Or, he captured her, was lonely so kept her for company, gave her food to keep her alive and imprisoned her in his tower of doomsday prepping. Nice guys don't lock you up against your will in the guise of helping you. :P

    It gives me a Firefly / Galaxy Quest vibe, mixed with what I loved about Trek, so here's hoping for more.

    My friend just spoiled the ending of this series to me. GRRM should have finished his books before they made this into a TV series.

    Xi was probably one of the angriest motherfuckers on this entire planet. Raiding with him was cancer for the ears, but 90% of the time he wasn't wrong. C'thun was straight up stupid.

    Alliance: Heroes of the Spire

    Maybe have an inactive roster for your alliance - they can't participate in Wars and such but still get mail spending benefits and get to chat with their peeps. Also don't get conquest contribution if you think that is a concern.
