What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

The Ozymandias episode is incredible though. Vince Gilligan has also gone on record saying it's the best episode of the series. Not that his opinion necessarily makes it true, but it's worth noting.

Fantastic episode
 
Fly was the most try hard episode conceptually. Agreed it came off as somewhat pretentious but I can also see why they did it.
 
I didn't mind Rogue one, but agree it didn't have a very Star Wars feel (though I understand why, as pretty much none of these characters are going on to something more). Had to be more about the action/storyline than about character development.

Every season there is a "cheap" episode. An episode where you basically run out of money. You wanted to do something big in another episode, so you steal money from one episode to pay for another.

The Fly was the episode where there was no money left over, so an episode was made in one room, for minimal money, to allow for better things.

That's why that episode sucked.
 
I believe the term is a "bottle episode".

It's the "oh ****, we have no money, what the hell do we do now?" episode.
 
Essentially, anyone who claims that episode's greatness is just trying too hard. That's an obvious "douchebag" alert.

Depends on why they are saying it. If they genuinely liked it, then good for them. I try to avoid telling people that they are wrong about what their personal interests may be (obviously as long as they are legal and not hurting anyone - so anyone preferring snuff films is not included in this discussion). If they say they like it because it is the pretentious thing to say, then so be it. But not always easy to prove.

This may not always apply when discussing politics. I'm trying.

You are right. I'm sure there are a few that genuinely enjoyed that episode. If you meet one, let me know. That being said, I stand by my "douche alert" comment. I'd bet more people that love that episode are just trying too hard.
 
Aww man..


For those complaining about not enough character development in Rogue One, what do you have to say about Kylo Ren in the Force Awakens? He was the main character. Do we know what drove him to the dark side? Do we know what motivates him? Why does he want to copy/impersonate Darth Vader so much? Why did he need to kill his father?


How about Poe and Finn, what do we know about them? Not a whole lot!


And the plot? It's the same plot as 'A New Hope'!!! Have you guys not noticed that? The discovery of a new/young jedi. The droid hiding a secret plan/message. It all ended with an attempt to destroy the 'weapon', a copy of the Death Star only 4 times larger, by hitting the oscillator. And oh by the way the 'Death Stars' all has that same weak point that once you hit it the whole thing blows up!!!


I feel like Roque One is more original, more back story, fits well within the 2 trilogies and characters are just as interesting.


C'mon guys.

This post makes it sound like both movies suck.
