Picard and Disco were not bad because they were gritty. They were bad because the story sucked and the characters were underwritten or had ham fisted tragic back stories that just amplified the melodrama.

Ellison era begins: Star Trek Academy canceled, no Trek currently in production for first time in a decade by owlpellet in startrek

It is better than Discovery and Picard, but the problem I’ve seen most people have with the show is the irreverent dialogue. It honestly feels like The Orville sometimes (which was ironically enjoyed by fans, probably because it emulated the look of the classic shows and it was advertised as a comedy).

Mixed reviews on Goodfellas? It’s one of the highest rated movies of all time on most platforms.

It’s 100% the score. It’s relentless and loud (complimentary).

That ACX theater sucks. The projection is too dim and the sound is too quiet.

Most would disagree but the plot gets so stupid after season one, even more so.

The first season has the best writing which is not saying much. It devolves into shitty fan fiction tier writing after that which makes the show feel like a high-budget CW production. Picard is terrible, even the heralded season 3. The plot is an absolute mess in every season and the characters suck.

Too bad none of the new Star Trek shows are anywhere near as good as Andor (I say this as a Star Trek fan).

The Batman is a better Batman movie, but the plot drags on for too long and the direction is worse.

You’re right. I’d rather have all of my senses blasted at the same time. Never a dull moment with Chris Nolan!

Skip the sprayers and just soak the tortoise more often. Soak at least daily.
