When Sharks Attack (2013)
Garbage.
This is a sad documentary. It uses inflammatory language meant to instill fear. It also likes to imply that the ocean and it's "vacation" spots are somehow supposed to be off limits to sharks. Let's get this clear, the ocean's are shark's homes, we are the intruders. They aren't attacks, they are animals inspecting and protecting their homes. The language used in this documentary are so pathetic and do not help people understand that sharks are not evil.
Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)
This is not actually a BDSM story.
I'm tired of seeing reviews talking about how this doesn't portray the BDSM community and it's abusive. How dense can you all be? This is a story about abuse and PTSD and how a man who has suffered both immensely realizes that he was shown "healing" the wrong way. By a child molester.
He showed acts of aggression, and ended up regretting it and seeking help (far more highlighted in the book). BDSM society...has it occurred to you that this book was about a man healing? He was an abused boy, taken at a young age and shown that violence supposedly "helps" him. He meets a woman and attempts to continue his path, yet realizes it's not how you love.
This has zip to do with the BDSM community and everything to do with abused children, rape as a young boy and how he learned to move past it with a patient woman. We all learn about our partners as we go and this is not different. She says no when she sees how far he wants to take it. And she LEAVES. The end of this is a woman saying I cannot be what you need.
Lore (2017)
Had me until they propped Christianity
I was really enjoying this until the episode about werewolves in Ireland and that it had to do with Christianity coming out on top. Shocker. It's actually pretty easy to get simple minded people to believe what you say and believe that an animal attack was their gods turning on them. Indeed a pagan faith takes contemplation and studying. That episode just trivialized it and I'm done.
Station 19: Indoor Fireworks (2020)
More Heart
I only rated it an 8 for the fact that we saw some of the back story for Ben. To see the injury of his friend, his realization that the entire incident shaped who he is, was beautiful. However, the rest of it? Disjointed, clunky and full of personality transplants. Are there new writers? We see the character arc of Sully showing him to soften, to fall in love, to see a possible issue with his leg that he may hide, and then BOOM he is just playing a total career hungry jerk? Um ok?? Hererra senior basically threatening blackmailing him to stop? Daughter or not, he is a professional and I didn't buy it from his character.
Mya, where to start? She no longer has a heart? She built a relationship with Gibson, communicating about hardships and grew closer to him. She had a solid friendship with Hererra. Then BOOM she is now power hungry tossing Jack and Andee under the bus, and telling Jack that they didn't have a real relationship nor communication?! Wtf??
Also, omg the whole Tanner declaring love for Andee then getting shot. Weak. These two have no chemistry to me and its played out and boring now. Like come on...a cop leaving his gun laying around with a child there. Sure...
Don't like the new guy, whats-his-name nor his hoe wife. We have other characters stories to flesh out before adding pathetic side characters for sad, car scenes.
I only enjoyed this episode because of Ben, and the dialogue between Miller, Hughes and Montgomery. I will only watch next week because of the potential to see Miller interact with Maggie. I started watching this show because it was powerful to me, to see the closeness and the familial bonds these first responders had, which has evaporated...honestly I may go back to only watching the major crossovers. If the writing continues as it is, I give Station 19 two years, if that - to cancellation.
Station 19: I Know This Bar (2020)
Loved it but...
Something is off and it left me confused. I really enjoy the crossovers and the timeslot change works great...but it's like Sully had a total personality transplant. Yes he was a jerk at the beginning but then he softened as he got to know Hererra, and after the kiss it looked like an issue with his leg. Now it appears to be about their careers and he's morphed into a selfish?? The only issue I had this episode is that the writing feels chunky and disjointed compared to season 2's finale, which I just rewatched.
