Palpatine coming back wasn't even an interesting premise though.

The look on Oscar Isaac's face as he delivers that line is something else.

It's the face of a man who has been back and forth with the scriptwriter and director all day, and is resigned to the fact that this is the best they can come up with.

Read the comic. It does so much better with the concept. Goddammit, can we get at least one good Alan Moore adaptation?! Look at the mans run of Swamp Thing! It'd do well as an animated movie, at the very least!

I know it's bad but for some reason as a kid I loved that movie lol.

Superman: The only way for me to solve this crisis is to be Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

Peter: Oh, that's why they called it that.

Lumberjack Larry: "Darlin', I've carved the grandest totem, but it's too tall for the town square!"

Lucy, the Lumberjill: "And here I am, trying to fit this massive log through our cabin door. It's a tight squeeze!"

Lumberjack Larry: "Looks like we're both in a pickle with 'My Big Stick Doesn't Fit: The Log Jam Love Story.'"

Lucy, the Lumberjill: "Time to put our heads together and chop this problem down to size, honey!"

They said the thing!!

Why do Star Wars fans always forget the / in And/or?

Maybe its because i'm not a fan of the books, but I really like Foundation, it has weak points, but overall I'm enjoying it.

Will Smith's compulsive need to never be the bad guy didn't help.

How many times can you use amnesia in a show with seven seasons? How many times can you reveal that Character A is secretly related to Character B? How many times can someone get killed but then miraculously get better? How many times can you introduce absolutely world-breaking plot devices, only to forget about them immediately?

The answer for all of the above, for Once Upon a Time, is THERE'S NO FUCKING UPPER LIMIT.

It did have this absolutely fantastic exchange though...

Grumpy: We're all going to go hang out with Happy.

Snow White: Didn't he get turned into a tree?

Grumpy: Yeah, but we fixed that months ago! We do things when you're not around!

...for which I'll almost forgive all the rest.

'Fables' was a comic book that was the first to use the idea of characters from fairy tales living in the modern era. When people realized that everything was already public domaine we got two shows, neither as good as the comic.

From what I've heard it would have been multitudes worse if Cavill wasn't so passionate about the source, too.

Yeah I never read the books or played the games. So when I watched it I thought it was kinda janky because they were trying a little to hard trying to stay true to the books.

Then I later found out it wasn't true to the books. Sure sometimes you need to change things to make a story work better for a new medium. But why is it so jank then?

If they made changes but it worked really well as a TV show because of those changes I can understand. And if the show is janky because they tried to stay too close to the books, I can understand. But they made a janky show that's not true to the books. I don't understand!

Hollywood is stupid and they didn't want to pay writers after the first draft is written. It may not be so much the writer is shit (they came up with some good ideas after all) it's that they don't have time to make additional drafts to fix plotholes, improve the dialog, etc.

Writing isn't just banging out something on a typewriter and it's pure genius the moment is written. It's a process that usually involves multiple drafts.

You gotta admit a lot of things feel like a first draft, and it's probably because it is. Hopefully these issues were sorted out with the writer's strike.

Because it's targeting the lowest common denominator.

It's generalizing the writing so that it generally appeals to generally everyone to increase engagement. This means that the show loses its specific attractions and it just becomes another generic TV show based in a different world.

The show where they have to sex each other in super sexy horny sex to cast some spell. Yeah sex magic wooo!! And what does the spell do? It just creates a column of light that some guy can use as a beacon to navigate.

My eyes rolled so hard I saw the back of my own skull.
