I didn't hate the Ivanova storyline, it just wasn't great. It was a decent storyline that was acceptable TV, but it wasn't anything special. TKO can thank that storyline for even garnering a D+, because without it this was a definite F episode and probably the worst of the series, behind even...

The main complaint I've ever heard about Carnivale is that it's far too engrossing of a story that needs multiple episodes to play out. That somehow it doesn't work an an episode by episode basis because episode 10 needs episode 2 to be any good. I of course disagree with this completely, but it...

The third season was supposed to feature a major plot line of her and Sophie vying to be the one in charge of Bother Justin's ministry and to wield the real power behind the scenes while Brother Justin would be a propped up media figure.

Sorry, the show was garbage and I'm going to call it as being garbage. If you liked it that's cool, but thanks to someone else liking it I was forced to suffer through every trite episode of SFU.

I don't have any problem at all with the premise of a Vampire show, creatures are a staple of fantasy stories and I never really tire of them. However I do have concerns with the fact that the creator of Six Feet Under is the man behind True Blood. SFU was a horrendous, horrendous show and this...

I'm lazy, but eventually I got it done, http://worldsoforos.com/secondviews/2008/08/16/review-babylon-5-113/

If someone bases all their views on what a creator says in an out of universe interview then they lack the basic ability to think critically. If someone watches a movie and interprets what they see on the screen then they will never be false because interpretation is all in the eye of the viewer.

Like usual the conversation was over as soon as you became involved, I should have kept you on ignore. Unlike you I present plenty of informed opinions and don't just rattle off facts from interviews and other useless drivel. I choose to think critically and actually dissect what I see as...

I've addressed this issue before, "in my opinion" is a useless statement that should never be used by anyone when talking about an interpretive art, or anything really. When I say something I mean it and will not attach something stupid like "in my opinion" to it so that it cheapens what I am...

Enjoy, rip it apart, it's all cool! http://worldsoforos.com/secondviews/2008/08/03/review-babylon-5-112/#more-702

Yes, it does actually. That's how interpretive art works, if I watch something and decide it isn't any good then it isn't any good. You are entitled to think the exact opposite, but that doesn't mean it all of a sudden becomes good in my eyes. Jeremiah was a subpar show, other than Perry the...

Comics are a more visual medium because they rely much more on the picture to say what is happening. In TV/Film it is more about the character relaying what is happening and the visuals help to bolster what is going on with the characters. In comics its the exact opposite, the focus is the...

I've seen it quite a few times, and I've always understood it, but it never came together to create a good film for me. It was innovative and complex, and breathtaking in some areas, but I needed all of the those facets to come together and they never did. At least, not for me.

Like I've said about all remakes, reboots, or reimaginings, I have no problem with them. They are no different than any original movies in that some are great, some are good, some are bad, and some are downright awful. Besides, I have never bought the argument about remakes somehow being a sign...

I haven't liked any of JMS' comic work, except for a bit of Rising Stars and some Amazing Spider-Man. Much like a lot of other TV to comic people I don't think he's ever realized how to properly use the more visual medium of comics to tell his story as opposed to writing out the pages like he's...

The fact that the plot revolved around a character with little or no substance and whose only purpose was to stand next to Harvey and look pretty is not a good thing. If it was anyone but Nolan I would buy the foreshadowing, but that's not how Nolan operates. He goes for the "OMG, I didn't see...

Hmm, I thought he did write those, my bad. But, the point still remains, he refuses to allow other people to play in the B5 verse anymore because he is supposedly worried about people not getting the story right. He's managed to not get the story right quite a few times, and he has written some...

JMS has all the tools he needs to tell a great story, he is asking for better and more expensive tools as if that would somehow create a better story. A better analogy to what JMS is doing would be if he were a painter with a great brush that all of a sudden decides that he needs the next best...

It's called arrogance, being a control freak, and not being willing to trust anyone else to actually tell a good story. Sometimes these traits are good, sometimes they are bad, it all depends really. To be perfectly honest if JMS honestly believes the writing was hamstrung because of a lack of...
