An interesting article that makes some good points (at least in my opinion). Lots of spoilers (including in my comment below) so please don't read if you don't want to know. http://whatculture.com/tv/star-trek-discovery-review-6-ups-and-5-downs-from-season-1 A summary for those without the...

Perhaps the time tunnel "reset" their clothes (and their general cleanliness) to the initial state as part of each trip. I don't recall we ever saw any indication of them showering either.

For someone who's supposedly been watching since the beginning he doesn't seem to remember much. The show started with someone who looked as though he was on his last legs. Capaldi is fitter and healthier than Hartnell was during his time. As for his comments about "I wonder if they'll get a...

I'm quite happy that legislation such as this is under consideration. Gaming, especially that aimed at kids, should not be allowed to "teach" children to become gamblers.

I always liked Brosnan in the role of James Bond. I was a big fan of Remington Steele and was disappointed that the show apparently caused him to miss out on the role when Dalton was cast. I did like Dalton in the role too, and given we did eventually get Brosnan, it all worked out well as far...

I agree, he was gifted a great script (one of the best ever) and just didn't have the acting chops to be comparable to any of the others. Even if you don't like the direction Moore's Bond went, at least he had the talent and natural charm to make it work.

Yeah that bothered me too. Even at the extremely fast past that the legal case seemed to operate, there should have been time for this to be cleared up. I wonder if it says something about the arrogance of the government (or those involved in the conspiracy) that they honestly thought no one...

Great review That it is!

If it's true it would be a massive blow to their finances and their public image.

Well, its about what you'd expect from a BBC TV show of that era. Sure the effects aren't great by today's standards, or movie standards of that time period, or US TV standards of that period. But, similar to Doctor Who of that era, given what the production team had to work with (in terms of...

https://whatculture.com/film/why-zack-snyder-was-fired-from-justice-league?rf=homepage Interesting article, although I'm not sure how accurate is, given that WhatCulture isn't something I'd consider a reliable source. Despite that, if its true it makes what I think are some good points about...

I just hope that this doesn't result in some people racing ahead. Part of what I'm looking forward to with this group is the discussion of individual episodes and the developing story. If some people are several episodes ahead conversations may become stilted or influenced by things people have...

As a fellow non USAian, I think that this is true. The US Civil War seems to have largely been conflated, in many people's minds, into a pro-slave/anti-slave conflict, where, as far as I can tell, it was about a far wider range of issues, with slavery not really the main consideration, but that...

There was a general downward slide from I to III and I suspect its directly correlated to the levels of involvement of Donner and Lester in each of the movies.

That's almost certainly the case most of the time. I've seen a few interviews with writers over the years where they tell stories about how they were forced to "dumb things down" for the audience. And I guess there's a little bit of logic in that the producers want to appeal to the widest...

It will be interesting to see how that theme develops over the series. Assuming it does of course. Way too many TV shows introduce fascinating concepts or potential plots and then just ignore them. :emoji_angry:

There are also some who just think their audience are morons. :emoji_relaxed:

I remember enjoying this when it first came out in Australia (I was about 14). There are aspects that work well but Richard Pryor was a mistake. He's very funny but the character wasn't the right fit for a Superman movie. A super-genius who's also a fuckwit? It might have been a better move to...

OK - episode 1 finished! I don't think I've actually ever seen the first episode before (or if I have its so long ago that I'd forgotten it). In fact, I believe that most of what I've seen before is from the final season, and my knowledge of the first season is based on the novelisation of 2 or...

Wow, looking at the list of shows you've done I wish I'd discovered this group a few years ago. There are a lot of shows I'd really have enjoyed watching as part of a group, some extremely good shows which I've seen bits and pieces of and some guilty pleasures that perhaps aren't the same...
