Fallout: The End (2024)
I wish Johnathan Nolan knew how to introduce a world.
Same annoying problems as Westworld's pilot. Jonathan Nolan is just bad with pilots, I guess, because the rest of Westworld is great and I'm sure this will be too.
Poor pacing, juggling too many stories for a pilot, not allowing the audience surrogate (Lucy) to introduce the world.
The first episode should've been Lucy in the vault, her impetus to leave, then her first experiences outside before running into one of the other main characters. Then episode two can delve into Maximus and the ghoul.
Kyle MacLachlan gives the performance of the episode as Hank MacLean; he's kindly, commanding, and emotional to boot. Aaron Moten comes in second place with his unexpectedly strong portrayal of Maximus; I wasn't expecting much from him after seeing the trailer, but he was a pleasant surprise, even if his tears don't really come when he wants them to.
Moisés Arias is great in his smaller role as Lucy's brother, and kinda steals a few scenes in this episode. Ella Purnell is good, funny, but struggles to tap into the emotional aspects of Lucy's character. Walton Goggins is serviceable as the ghoul, not much for him to do yet.
My only issue with the cast lies in Xelia Mendes-Jones, who is not masculine enough to fit in with the Brotherhood, and also not a good enough actress (so far) to fit in with the show. Her line deliveries are stilted and her attempts to be "manly" are just kinda sad.
Oh, well. At least it's super game-accurate. Big points for that.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine: The Good Ones (2021)
Disappointing, but not as bad as people say
Only good parts were:
Jake
Terry, Amy, and Holt's story
Boyle being a dumb liberal
O'Sullivan
The heist twist
Andre Braugher, the actual G
The BLM stuff sucked ass, but that is to be expected.
This is one of the worst episodes of the series, if not the worst. But it wasn't ALL bad.
Legends of Tomorrow: The Satanist's Apprentice (2021)
Maybe a 7.5/10
Well, Astra is still the worst actress on the show. So that's that.
Sara's story is boring.
The old man wasn't even racist. He treated Astra like a human being, albeit one he did not like. He only thought she didn't belong because she was walking in filthy.
Also, they dissed the Proud Boys for no reason. They've suffered enough. Their organization allows membership for all races. It's so stupid how people still don't understand that.
Beyond that, this episode was pretty good.
13 Reasons Why: The First Polaroid (2018)
The greatest ensemble piece I have ever seen.
This show is beyond words in terms of how moving it can be. People will complain about how much it changes as it goes on, but change is good. The characters change and grow, so the show must grow along with them. It is a masterpiece.
