Vagrant Queen: Yippee Ki Yay (2020)
Slow Motion Disaster
Both the worst tv series I've ever seen, AND the worst episode of a tv show I've ever seen. Apart from the mumbling lump of timber in the lead role this has to be the worst, most annoying bunch of mugging-for-the-camera, scenery chewing, overacting 'talent' ever gathered together for one show. The editing is constantly distracting due to its sheer ineptitude, the story is garbage, the dialogue is worse. It looks like Technicolor plastic neon vomit, and the action scenes are laughable. To its credit, the sfx are bad in a kitschy sort of way. That's ok, but no wonder it's the worst performing syfy show ever. Like a really bad 'Xena in Space' show
The pilot episode at least had a semi-coherent (read: simple) story. This one is inpenetrably bad. I can't wait for episode 3.
The Simpsons Movie (2007)
I knew it would be bad but...
I'd heard good things about this movie and how it is a return to the glory days of the 90's, but it's nothing more than an extended Season 25 (or whatever season they're up to these days) atrocity.
Homer's a totally unlikeable, lobotomized moron, Marge nags, Bart (totally improbably) idolizes Flanders (wha????), and Lisa is reduced to a boring annoyance.
Proceedings are tiresomely 'wacky/zany', the story has no heart and, as a Simpsons fan, I felt angry and insulted by just watching it.
I love the earlier seasons of this show, but this movie is a real STINKER!
Angel: Not Fade Away (2004)
Open ended
A great finale to one of the best shows I've seen on TV. As BTVS slid and became a joke post S.5, Angel took up the slack and kept its quality, which is surprising given the production problems it was wrought with toward the end.
This episode sums up the spirit of the show beautifully, in contrast to the BTVS finale which strove for and missed the mark so horribly. Although the quality of Angel S.5 is variable, the themes and characterisations are generally consistent, again unlike BTVS S.6 & 7, and that makes the conclusion of this show all the more powerful, and the resolution feels 'earned'.
I like the fact that it concludes in an open-ended fashion. 'Let's Go to Work', and black screen. It's up to the viewer to imagine what would happen next. They've got out of worse scrapes in the past...
