Best show this year, fanboys need to stop crying
Dune Part 2 is visually spectacular. The picture is stunning. Ignoring the worn-out tropes, the problem with the film is the lack of emotional attachment to characters. The scope is too big for its runtime which leads to underdeveloped players. The movie is so impressive, yet hollow.
What the f...?
I really loved that episode! Ethan Peck played that role fascinatingly good. What a blast this second season is.

I missed an action TV show like this since banshee
Ok someone has to say it, the goofy dancing, the serious faces, the music ... those title credits are the best of every episode ... I love them!
An amazing episode, with stories and threads that will likely make much more sense later on. Suspense, mystery, and emotion, all masterfully woven together.
Remember that scene from the Half-Blood Prince when Harry forces Dumbledore to drink that cursed liquid to get to the locket? And after every glassful Dumbledore screams "Please stop!" and "Kill me!" to which Harry keeps replying "Just one more, just one more!"?
Yeah. That's how it feels just watching each new Chibnall episode knowing Davies is on the horizon.
What a travesty.
I had high hopes for this season... key operating word being, "had". I was hoping this season would be better but it's somehow gotten even worse than last season. I truly feel sorry for Jodie Whittaker, it really feels like the writers are setting her up to fail.
Craptastic storytelling/ supporting actors (The New Master) has made an avid Who fan not want to watch the show anymore. And the ignorant are going to say "because they made The Doctor a woman!" When it lies solely on the writers, directors, and producers not Jodie in the slightest.
3rd most likeable version of The Doctor (imo) yet the last 2 seasons are the most disliked seasons I've ever watched and I've watched every episode of the New Who at least 4x, these last two seasons are single watch only if that...
This was a hilarious episode. Especially the scene where Una, La’an, Uhura and Ortegas taught Spock to speak like a Vulcan. :smile:
It also had a lot of emotions and the acting was as always top notch from this cast.
Sadly it’s only 5 episodes left of the season. :confused:
This is the most overrated movie I have ever seen. It is not a terrible movie but people giving this 9's and 10's must be in love with the smell of Timothee Chalamets farts.
Some of the dialogue in this movie is laughably bad which is a shame because the cast is extremely strong and capable.
There were pacing issues throughout the movie - the fight at the end seemed like it just kinda happened with no build up. There was no tension or payoff to the big battle, just a big fight with a bunch of decent looking CGI.
Austin Butlers character and the Harkinnen moments were the best parts of the movie. I enjoyed that arc.
The penultimate moment of Timothee vs Austin was super predictable, and executed in a dull and boring way. The outcome was also very obvious.
Great visuals, although I would not say "innovative" visuals. The Creator, released last year, for example, was far more visually appealing than Dune Part Two, on a lower budget.
Super mid movie, worth your money, and nice to look at (especially in IMAX) but giving this a 9 or 10 is wild
omg now the computer has emotions too...
its an "organic" evolution says the machine :D
I hear nothing... put it on speakers... still nothing...

This Show Is Definitely Not Safe For Kids
Unlike the other review I actually watched it and understood it, and enjoyed it. Very different and something new, in a good way. Look forward to more.
Edit: After watching the whole season wow, just wow,. Haven't enjoyed a show so much in a long time. Hope to see a season 2.
watched 6 so far...bloody great...keep up the violence...Jack is back!
Always nice to have Tennant back as The Doctor, although the first special was not the strongest welcome back in terms of the story for this episode in particular but I'm sure there is a larger one for the next two. Catherine Tate as Donna was hilarious and felt like she never left the role or the world. Can definitely see that the Disney money has been used although think his tech with the screwdriver is way to much, not a fan of the shields that he created. But excited for next week to hopefully build on it!
Ah yes! Loved this episode. Awesome acting from Ethan Peck. This season is so good.
The first part was a bit boring, overly focused on the Fremen world and how Paul and his mother were welcomed into the desert people. In the second part however, the pace was excessively hasty, at several moments you have the feeling that someone has pressed the fast forward button, and you find yourself out of breath at the end of the film. A real shame, because Dune part one was an authentic narrative masterpiece, and personally I had high expectations for part two. Of course, the photography is always amazing, and the acting is also excellent, but narratively the film was a disappointment. In the end it felt like I was watching the second episode of a TV series, waiting for part three (?).
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.
Me: "There's no way they can even come close to being as good as the last episode."
Also me: "OH MY GOD IT WAS EVEN BETTER"
I really like the way how they are showing the conflict. Some politics and tactics, followed by action and the close bond of the crew. All that high tech but you get the same feeling from the Free Navy as you would look at the pirates in Black Sails. Minutes later you see a conflict between family in a civil war like North&South. I hope the can do the rest of the story in a few years ( pull a Dexter ? ) because I simply need more.
Has anybody picked up on the timeline of the war? First we had a Pearl Harbor moment followed by the Battle Of Britain scenario, last episode they captured the Enigma machine and in this episode the Free Navy had their Midway.
Can't fault the visual appeal of the show but boy does the story draaaaaaaaag in this season, so much padding that doesn't advance the story at all.
Makes me want to cancel my Disney subscription. Quality over quantity! Do remember when Disney had the best movie storylines... what happened? Can make an interesting TV show story? Seems not... Please don't ruin a successful franchise.
'73 Yards' was a properly eerie and creepy episode, with some actual horror elements and gorgeous cinematography too. Really strong performance by Millie Gibson as well. Doctor Who inevitably faces some limits when tackling with horror themes, given the show's PG rating, but they definitely found the perfect balance here, delivering a legitimately haunting and at times quite unsettling story.
It's like Schindler's List, everyone will tell you how great it is, but who wants to watch it more than once.
I love Dune and have enjoyed all incarnations of this (including the PC game from 30 years ago) and while I enjoyed this I think maybe knowing the story back to back made it less enjoyable for me. Villeneuve's style of directing for me I don't think is quite my style in the pacing and shot style so it doesn't quite click.
Visually it's stunning, cast is great but it's not one I'd rush to watch again myself. 6/10
About time, for a show that is a closer true reflection of what Police life is like in N Ireland.
