Lightyear (2022)
I don't get the hate.
I really don't. Yea, its formulaic. Where you expecting a best screenplay Oscar winner? The opening literally states that it's the movie that made an elementary school aged Andy absolutely need the toy that went with it. It was exactly that and it did a good job at it. I took my 6, 4, and 2 year old. They all loved it and I did too. They're comments are
"That was awesome!"
"Space Ranger!"
And
"I like that!"
Respectively. My son wants a new Buzz Lightyear action figure like "that Buzz". It just seems like its cool the hate this movie.
Shameless: Slaughter (2021)
Insulting
I'm a half black half white man that grew up in inner city Baltimore (Patterson Park) and literally lived through gentrification. So if during that time of people being scared to lose their homes if my mom had answered the door V would've walked off in a huff? What about the Vietnamese immigrant family down the street who lost their bakery that they moved to America and opened and poured their lives into? I used to identify so much with this show but now it's all division and rhetoric. It used to be the folks in the south side used to all be Chicagoans. But you only belong if you live there and also look a certain way now. If you're black and watched this (which was written by 2 white males and a white female) I hope you feel as insulted as I do.
Star Wars: The Bad Batch: Reunion (2021)
MORE REUNIONS THAN ANTICIPATED
The payoff! Outstanding episode with near perfect tension both in acting and score. With an ending that is arguably the best since Clones Wars or The Mandalorian.
Star Wars: The Bad Batch: Decommissioned (2021)
Really?! Those Two?!
The Martell sisters? Seriously? I don't know of anyone who enjoyed their bloated arc the last time they were on screen. I couldn't contain my audible groan when they showed up again, unchanged. All the same stuff people didn't like about them displayed again. Not using Hondo Ohnaka instead was a big missed opportunity. It would've added better comedy and made the episode more enjoyable. The slow burn is getting a little frustrating as well.
The Rookie: True Crime (2021)
Not the best but not the worst...
This episode was a curve ball and definitely not the series at its best but it is definitely not the worst it's been either. It was a refreshing episode after the supersized holiday ham fisted writing of the beginning of this season. Let's reset and get back to the earlier style of the show.
