93% audience score on rotten tomatoes, to the 63% critic reviews. This typically means the content is good.

Also, I'm downloading a... uh... ticket and will get back to you shortly.

I had no idea this was happening until just now. I thought the female reboot killed the franchise.

I love Fallout New Vegas.

I also have a penis that likes to go into vaginas while I grab boobies.

What about it inspires transgenderism? I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

It has been going on for a lot longer than that, but it has seemed to be particularly bad lately.

For the most part I have always blamed it on the fact that film critics have one job - to watch movies. So they likely watch 10-100x more movies in a year than I do. That means they are bored of things that may seem fresh to me. They probably like unique takes on things, even when they don't overall deliver as strongly as a more generic tale does, simply because they are different.

At least, that's my opinion. I have no real proof of it other than I can say that when I deep dive into something, I become more aware of it, and start to have a much different view than most people who partake in the same thing more casually.

So you have that, factored in with a whole bunch of younger SJW weirdos now, and yeah - the critic score and the audience scores are generally completely unrelated to each other.

I love the way you worded this.

Reminds me of the crabs in a bucket theory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentality

Which I have watched occur over and over again. I always distance myself from crabs. OP should too.

Exactly! Warehouse 13 was a great show. The gay character got developed properly - being gay wasn't his main trait. In fact, that didn't come up overtly for like, half a season. And by the time the "reveal" happened if you want to call it that, there had been enough subtle hints along the way, we all knew. They could have dove further into developing that character, had the show continued, and I don't think anyone would have complained.

Heck... They even got away with genderbending a historical figure on Warehouse 13! In a way that, again, made total sense. Because the writers of that show had this thing called talent. Its crazy. (Specifically trying to avoid spoilers on this one, i could gush about it for paragraphs, lol.)

I just figure I've been spoiled by things over the years. Specifically, watching a lot of Sci Fi shows. Star Trek, Farscape, Stargate, etc. - A lot of sci fi has been doing all these things sensibly for like, 50-60 years. Now everyone else is ham-fistedly trying to catch up.

I only got three episodes into that show and had no idea what anyone saw in it. Like it wasn't aggressively bad or anything - just nothing to hook me. Nothing happened. I moved on. Glad I didn't invest more time in it just to have it come to that.

But don't feel bad. The same dumb SJW shit is ruining seemingly all new movies and TV shows these days. There's nothing wrong with strong females, gay characters, etc. etc. if they are well written. The problem is these days its like they are doing it to check boxes off a list, and have no ability to actually write a unique thought-provoking script if their life depended on it.

Ditto.

It was like they took everything Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 got right, and re-did it the wrong way.

For the first time ever in a Hellraiser film I'm truly terrified of what pinhead may show me.

The Pirate Bay still exists. I have faith that a community like this will exist forever, regardless of what bullshit goes on in politics.

Babylon 5 was pitched to CBS before DS9 was a concept, so, it is certainly possible the idea at its most basic level at least was taken from there. (And I find it likely it did happen - just an exec hearing a pitch and saying, "but wait, why a new IP when we already have one? Hire writers and tell them we are doing Star Trek on a space station!")

But the two shows are totally different aside from the space station premise. At least I think so. The few similarities they do have just seem to be basic TV or sci-fi tropes, too generic to really make a claim one way or the other.

Babylon 5 Good.

CW Bad.

Not sure what to make of this.
