->''{{Film/Superman III}}'' is really ''The Wacky Adventures of Richard Pryor…oh and [[AndTheRest there’s some Superman as well.]]'' I don’t care what the original comic was, when you put Scott in the movie it should have been retitled ''Seann William Scott acts like a dumbass, and ChowYunFat is doing something too.''

->'''Chris:''' If ''{{Film/Blade II}}'' had a major flaw in not giving costars — and by that I mean Donnie Yen — enough to do, this one has the flaw of giving them way too much. They might as well have called it ''Blade Buddies''. (Ryan) Reynolds even narrates the whole thing.\\

->Think about that: you're the first woman [[TheCaptain Captain]] of any science fiction event--in ''anything'', really--of substance. And everything's coasting along fine. Year one, year two, year three. End of year three, you let go of one actor and you hire another. The new actress, Jeri Ryan, comes in, playing Seven of Nine. And all of a sudden the T&A element comes in. So as a woman captain, you're thinking, wow, look what I've done for women all across the globe, one step forward for women's rights. And then they bring ''[[MsFanservice this]]'' in?! Everything I've worked for has been erased by what you've done by bringing in this character! ...And so she was pissed. She ''stayed'' pissed for Season Four, Five Six, ''and'' Seven.

->Seven of Nine learns the art of WWF and takes on [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock!]] No I’m [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs not blissed out on drugs!]] I thought Chakotay was [[BoxingLesson an aggressive fighter]] in his spare time? For this episode to have made sense shouldn’t it have been about him or didn’t he look as hot in a leotard? Sheesh! If not Chakotay then surely B’Elanna would have been the next best option given her uncontrollable anger that was explored in Juggernaut. Surely witnessing her inner turmoil not to fight would have been an extension of that. Once again though Jeri Ryan probably seemed a safer bet in a leotard.

->The Doctor spends the first episode walking from the TARDIS to Tranquil Repose as various misadventures fail to happen to him. (There is [[{{Padding}} that wall he climbs]].) The Daleks, meanwhile, are almost entirely sidelined in the first episode... With all of them sidelined, the first episode is freed up to focus almost entirely on its other plotlines. And it's actually quite good.\\\
This is a real problem. Whatever frustration one might have with the fact that the show is ''Doctor Who'' and that [[InNameOnly maybe the Doctor should be in it]], the truth is that he’s just about the least interesting thing in the first episode... The funny thing, if you want to call it that, is that this is wholly consistent with [Eric] Saward’s apparent intentions. He saw the Daleks as [[BadassDecay no longer interesting]], and he genuinely believed the worlds the Doctor visited were more interesting than the Doctor himself. Yes, this is almost certainly a [[SelfFulfillingProphecy self-fulfilling prophecy]], but, well, prophecy fulfilled. The show is clearly not working even at the most basic level. It is, in fact, providing almost the exact opposite of compelling drama. Virtually all of the good bits of Revelation of the Daleks come in spite of it being a ''Doctor Who'' story, not because of it.

->Ollie passively resembles his comic counterpart, but really, his character's purpose seemed to be [[CantCatchUp to outshine Clark]] at first and lead to the impression that Clark doesn't inspire the generation of heroes. After that, in a {{very special episode}}, he actually becomes Speedy and gets a drug addiction he's instantly cured of... He killed the Lex we originally knew and loved from this show. Clone Lex survives, but Ollie [[HypercompetentSidekick KILLED the original Lex]]... He was always just a weird {{hunk}} backdrop to distract us from the main character's [[RidiculouslyAverageGuy lack of forward progress.]]

->'''Chris:''' Snipes ended up suing both New Line and (David) Goyer himself for, according to Wikipedia, not paying him his full salary as a producer for the film, and locking him out of casting and filmmaking decisions. He also contends that he was given less screen time than he should’ve been, which I have to say I kind of agree with. If ''{{Film/Blade II}}'' had a major flaw in not giving costars — and by that I mean Donnie Yen — enough to do, this one has the flaw of giving them way too much. They might as well have called it ''Blade Buddies''. (Ryan) Reynolds even narrates the whole thing.\\

->They don't know when people like something. They don't know when people ''don't'' like something. And they don't know what to do in '''either''' case! So now they learned that people fucking despise Wrestling/RomanReigns, they don't know why.\\\
And there are many reasons: We know that they're forcing him down our throats (we ''recognize'' this). We don't like what they're doing with him. We don't like that they're [[CharacterDerailment changing who he is.]] We don't like that they're pushing him before he's ready. We don't like that they're pushing him at the expense of [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]]...Instead of taking any kind of real self-assessment, saying:\\\
''"Gee, maybe we're booking this like '''shit.'''"''\\\
...maybe they can start [[NeverMyFault pointing fingers at Roman Reigns!]]\\\
''"Gee, maybe we're not scripting him ''enough''. Maybe we need to give him ''even more'' screentime, y'know, maybe we need to give him even '''more''' promos. Maybe we need him to ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint beat Daniel Bryan.]]'' Wow, that's an idea! Maybe he isn't credible enough, maybe they don't really believe he was deserving of beating the Royal Rumble. I know! Maybe if he beat a former world champion--''like Daniel Bryan''--'''then''' people would like him!"'' That's what they'd think.

->[Abe] Vigoda always seemed to be a part of ''Series/BarneyMiller'' but in fact his character retired from the force at the beginning of season four, though he continued play Fish on ''Fish'', a not-bad spin-off...In one of the great, possibly apocryphal examples of showbiz chutzpah, at the peak of Vigoda's popularity as Fish, his manager reportedly demanded the name of the show be changed to ''[[BillingDisplacement Fish & Barney.]]'' Not even ''Barney & Fish.''

->Seven of Nine learns the art of {{WWF}} and takes on [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock!]] No I’m [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs not blissed out on drugs!]] I thought Chakotay was an aggressive ''[boxer]'' in his spare time?

->It was really clear, as soon as {{Wrestling/Batista}} entered the Rumble, that the writing was on the wall: he was gonna win. You knew it. And it was way, way too obvious. And obvious is not always a bad thing; but you knew what was gonna happen, and you knew that your opinion didn't matter. Your ''choices'' didn't really matter. And that was the really, really bad part. The choices of the fans, it just didn't matter anymore...In many ways they are so completely tone-deaf. And in this case, when it comes to [[Wrestling/RomanReigns the top babyface]], I think they think they can change your mind, just by repetition or by ''browbeating you into submission.'' They can't change you, and the more they try, the more you're gonna rebel. And the last thing they need from you is rebellion.\\\
