Gotham (2014)
Great show!
Don't understand why it got so much flack. I accept that the first few episodes in Season 1 were a bit tacky, primarily because it felt like every episode should be stand alone. However, soon after it turned into mini-series focusing on a single villain for a few episodes which became a lot more entertaining and fun. I was looking forward to new episodes every week.
I am a Batman fan and definitely enjoyed it. A well written and directed showed, give it a chance.
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
Fun movie, but how did this get green lit for being original?
I was very much looking forward to Terminator sequel since it was heavily hyped considering that James Cameron was on-board with the production. Action-wise was entertaining and what you would expect with a terminator film. Getting rid of John Connor in the first 5 mins is something surprising but didn't bother me as much as it did a lot of people, but that's my opinion.
Now coming to the things I didn't like. The movie was claimed to be original and came from the vision of how James Cameron expected T3 to be. However, it was anything far from original. In my opinion, Rev. 9 feels like a derivative of the T-X from Terminator 3; liquid metal shell with an endoskeleton. Grace feels like a derivative Marcus from Terminator Salvation; humanoid or terminator hybrid. They claim that Legion is the new AI and Skynet is unheard of. However, it bears the exact same traits. Considering that this is the 21st century and almost everybody is aware of what is AI, IOT, Internet, operating systems, I am thoroughly surprised as to how the writers thought that Legion is something unique and not just a different iteration or revision of Skynet and that the audience can put 2 and 2 together? Also, the whole Carl angle was very far fetched. Living among humans, I am fine with. Raising a family, come on? They could have better used Carl and come up with some creative way to have him redeem himself in my opinion.
