Finally finished Carter a couple nights ago. The season was actually pretty good until the underwhelming ending. Also the mini-cliffhanger that felt like a desperate attempt to get enough interest for another season.

First two episodes of Daredevil S2 were good. I hear it is really supposed to pick up steam later on, but I was surprised by a lot of negative reviews I’m seeing.

Ranking the Star Trek films (and/or series')
Time

FILMS
II - What else can I say that hasn’t been said?
VI - Wonderful swan song, and actually quite good on its own.
I - Underrated, but maybe I’m biased bc it introduced me to Trek
III - Could’ve been really good, a few things held it back.
ST09 - Honestly, it’s probably better than two of the four above it, I just can’t bring myself to rate it above them.
FC - At times it seems to dour
IV - Funny the first time, not very re-watchable
GEN - It’s half good sometimes, but it’s pretty sloppy.
V - Out-of-body experience in bad, beating out the last two because at least it is some kind of experience
NEM - dream rape and dune buggies were just what Star Trek needed!
INS - Nothing about this movie works.

The “Odd-Number” curse is silly.

ID was a total mess when I saw part of it with a friend. He always gushes about how awesome it is, and doesn’t ever give any reasons beyond: Explosions! Boobs! The guy from Sherlock!

SHOWS
TOS
TNG

Slowly working through those two on Netflix. TNG may surpass TOS if the rest of the seasons are better than S1 like everyone says.

Haven’t watched the rest.

Terrible DVD/Blu-ray Cover Art
Time

This isn’t really about covers, but I recently bought the theatrical versions of LOTR on Blu and of the three movie discs, only Return has a picture and the other two are practically blank. Even stranger, two of the special features discs have pictures, and only Fellowship’s special features disc lacks.

EDIT: Just remembered that my DVD of Fellowship that came with the Lego game even has a picture, but they couldn’t be bothered to put it on Blu? Sigh

The Force Awakens: Official Review Thread - ** SPOILERS **
Time

Spielberg only made Crystal Skull because George kept begging and he eventually gave in. I’ve seen interviews and behind the scenes videos and you can tell Spielberg really didn’t want to be there.

Also, most people know what E.T. is. Its really quite difficult to find anyone (in person) that has ever even heard of Blade Runner. And most people I know only like Tron Legacy and don’t care for the original, which is a shame.
