Season 1 was a sheet of used toilet paper…
Season 2 was a whole roll of used toilet paper…
Season 3 a pure golden nugget, made for the true fans, filled with memories and fan service of the right kind…..
Season 3 = Star Trek the Next Generation Season 8! Wow this was an outstanding season, and a perfect cap to the STTNG fans out there, I loved it so much that I binged the entire season in a couple of evenings. My wife found out about the extension of STTNG and wanted to watch it with me, so I queued up all of the pertinent episodes from Next Generation as a lead into Picard season 3 as a perfect way to round everything out and it's a great experience.
Even though the Next Gen cast are all in their 70's+, you almost totally forget that in this season. Even Picard is more vibrant than he was in seasons 1 and 2 and Riker doesn't look like he's changed at all, with the exception of the gray.
And much to my surprise and pleasure, they didn't continue the 7 of 9 lesbian arc, I figured it might get most of the attention since they decided to go that route, but instead they did what they should always do: entertain and not preach their agenda. I could, literally, delete seasons 1 and 2 of Picard and just keep season 3 as a STTNG season 8.
If you are a next generation fan then you'll absolutely LOVE this season. It's got vibrant Picard, tough Riker, a toned down Troy, a silly chunky Data with a convenient excuse why an ageless android is old and fat now, a better Worf than the original, an over plasticized Crusher and BORG! It's a perfect ending.
Good show all in all, but not as mind blowing as people make it out to be. And gosh, way to count the inconsistencies and loopholes.
It doesn’t measure up in cruelty and fucked-Upness with for example… Deadman Wonderland. Go watch / read that, that even has character development.
Squid games main character is obnoxious and selfish, who only gets out of his obnoxious role while playing the games, any other time he’s his useless, selfish self. Had there been some actual development with him I might have rooted for him, but in the end he’s still one worthless scumbag.
WEAK PATHETIC POOR AND ULTIMATELY POINTLESS.
WHAT THE HELLA WAS ALL THAT ABOUT.
MY GOD THAT WAS PAINFUL AND SO MUCH BULL-CRAP.
PLEASE JODIE AND CHIN-BALLS JUST LEAVE ALREADY.
SINCE THEY BOTH HAVE COME INTO THIS ONCE ICONIC MUST SEE SHOW THEY HAVE RUN IT INTO THE WOKE GROUND AND BURIED IT ALIVE.
AS THANOS SAYS
"NO RESURRECTION'S THIS TIME".
CHIN-BALLS HAS JUST USED THIS SHOW AS HIS OWN PERSONAL CHEW TOY AND JODIE WELL SHE'S JUST A SECONDARY CHARACTER IN HER OWN SHOW WHO IS JUST COSPLAYING AT BEING THE DOCTOR.
NOTHING MAKES SENSE EVERTHING IS A MESS CHIN-BALLS INSISTS ON PISSING ALL OVER 58 YEARS OF CANON,
WHICH HAS MADE ME SO ANGRY. THIS ONCE BELOVED FRANCHISE HAS BECOME UNBEARABLE TO WATCH AND THANK THE HEAVENS THAT THIS IS THE YEAR THEY BOTH LEAVE NEVER TO RETURN.
AND I'M COUNTING EVERY SECOND TILL THIS LONG AWAITED MOMENT HAPPENS.
FINAL THOUGHT
CHIN-BALLS DOES NOT GIVE A FLYING FCUK ABOUT DOCTOR WHO,
IT'S RICH HISTORY/LEGACY ARE IT'S LOYAL FANS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING.
SEASON 13
2/10
Bring back the Legend
Which is Davis.
A graffic masterpiece. Totally hook me up
Let me first point out that I am a human being – a flawed human being with imperfections and biased opinions. I have never liked film noirs, jazz music, gangsters, the mafia, or anything to do with thugs. Furthermore, I find it difficult to enjoy a TV show if I cannot connect with the main character…or any other character at that. Luke Cage has all of that – which is why I considered it boring, and my least favorite of the three shows. I watched others talk about how great it was…how it is better than the other MCU Netflix shows, or even other recent Netflix shows like Stranger Things and for once, I’m out of the loop because I don’t get it. However, with this universe, it is pertinent to watch these shows for potential continuity.
So I watched the show, and I was ultimately bored with it. There were good episodes, but in general – I found it a lackluster experience from the get go. The best episode was the third, and some others came close as well. However, this show tried to do what Jessica Jones did – as his abilities are practically unstoppable, they introduced an emotional aspect to it that served as his vulnerabilities. The difference between the two comes down to if I can connect with the character – and for Luke Cage, I just couldn’t. As I pointed out before, I also didn’t like the music choices or even villains – the end fight was trying to be epic in a way, but it was so typical and blah-inducing – I’m having a hard time finding something in this show that can be considered a “wow” factor. I’m just glad I’m caught up and don’t have to worry about it anymore…I just know there’s going to be a second season…sigh.
I had a decision to make – how was I going to rate this…because I didn’t want my own personal objections to get in the way. So here’s what I came up with. Netflix had a specific goal in mind when they made this TV show, and a lot of people really do like it – so I have to say they did what they sought to do. However, I believe there is also an entirely different group of people that didn’t like it – and I feel like this rift between the two is more apparent than any other the other shows Netflix has done with Marvel. I’m not one to explain why that is – but I can tell it exists. So I’ll just say this – Luke Cage is a well-done show that positively achieves what it wanted to achieve – which told a story without worrying what an audience would think of it. If they loved it great, if they didn’t, oh well. However, when you take that kind of risk – you create something that is possibly not entertaining – which is what I experienced when I watched it.
Look. I’m not a genius, but when I’m struggling to get through a season and groaning at the idea of watching another one…I’m pretty sure they did something wrong. That being said, I can’t ignore where it did go right – so that’s how I came up with my score.
