FBI: Flopped Cop (2022)
Ugh!
I refuse to watch FBI after this episode, until they get rid of Tiffany. She is the worst and is a POS. They had just discussed what a great marksperson she was, and shoots her former cop buddy in the heart, killing him to save the life of a stupid drug dealer? What cop or FBI agent would actually kill a former cop to prevent hm from killing a criminal? At worst she could have shot him in the arm or leg, but more realistic would have been to continue talking and just hope he doesn't kill the perp. And if he does, too bad, and then you arrest him. And to make matters worse, we then find out the deceased former cop had lost his badge because he didn't rat out Tiffany? Wow, what a way to pay him back and help him out.
Blue Bloods: In the Name of the Father (2020)
Fantastic.
Absolutely love that this episode pointed out the folly of New York's new laws that force prosecutors to disclose the names and addresses of witnesses to defendants right away, giving the defendants (who are almost released immediately as NY also ended most cash bail for felons) time to find the witnesses who are planning to testify against them, and them persuade them otherwise or simply kill them, as happened in the opening scene of this episode.
Quantum of Solace (2008)
Before you watch this ...
... make sure you have recently watched Casino Royale. I saw this movie in the theater, over two years after I saw Casino Royale, expecting to see a regular Bond movie, and it was not. Bond movies are stand alone movies. This one is not. Much of what happened in Casino Royale is relevant to this movie, and several characters from Casino Royale also appear in this movie making it difficult to understand the rapport Bond has with them if Casino Royale is not fresh in your mind. I watched it again, eleven years later, but right after I had watched Casino Royale, and the movie worked better and the confusing dialogue made more sense. Nowhere near the best Bond movie, but a good sequel to Casino Royale.
The Predator (2018)
So much worse than AVP2 or any other Predator movie!
Who wrote this movie, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? The Predators are coming here more frequently to harvest our DNA because they sense we're an endangered species because of climate change? Really?? This movie has so many plot holes in it, that's it hard to know where to start. But let's take the main premise, that the Predator species are improving themselves with the DNA of their victims -- Predators hunt the monsters from the Alien franchise, the deadliest monsters in the galaxy and the only ones who regularly kill Predators ... so why wouldn't they have incorporated the Aliens' into their own DNA hundreds of years ago?
Star Trek: Discovery: Light and Shadows (2019)
SIgh
Another virtue signalling episode for the P.C. crowd. You mean 260 years in the future, neither the Vulcans nor Humans have simple gene replacement technology so that disorders are not corrected pre-birth?
Star Trek: Discovery: Such Sweet Sorrow (2019)
Absurd
Technologically speaking, this is one of the most inconsistent and therefore worst episodes ever. Forget all the long painful drawn out goodbyes. Let's just look at the premise: the Enterprise somehow makes four unnecessary connecting bridges for the Discovery crew to evacuate it, when of course it's much easier to just beam everyone off. Predictably, the remote self-destruct doesn't work, and almost as predictably, the Discovery raises shields to protect itself. In Trek II, Admiral Kirk uses the Reliant's command code to force it to lower its shields; why can't Admiral Cornwell do the same thing to Discovery? Oh, it's because the A.I. has taken it over and is protecting the ship? Well then why in the heck would it then lower its shields to allow the crew that just tried to destroy it to reboard it? What were the writers thinking?? And then, does Discovery have magic shields that can withstand constant phaser fire and photon torpedos? Has anyone ever seen a Trek episode where two equally matched ships don't start to drain each other's shields when they fire on one another? What about creating a nuke and putting it adjacent to the Discovery?
What about when the crew gets back on, they intentionally create a warp core breach? So many ways to destroy a starship as we have constantly seen in Trek episodes, but somehow this one is now completely indestructible, and thus the only way to get rid of it is to take it into the future? And what, the A.I. won't just get it in the future and just end all life conscious life 950 years later then it planned to do? What's 950 years to an eternal A.I. in the grand scheme of things.
Lastly, did anyone else notice how now Trek is just ripping off fantasy (not sci-fi) arcs done in Marvel comics? Time crystal? Sounds like the Time Stone on Thanos's gauntlet. This whole idea of fate and people being fated to do things. This is not Trek.
Time Changer (2002)
Learn Your History
Though this movie is primarily a religious movie, it also involves history. This movie would work if the protagonist, Carlisle, were from 1875, but being that he's from 1890, the film-makers made two glaring mistakes. First he acts like he never heard of baseball, when Major League Baseball has been around since 1876. Maybe he had never been to a live baseball game, and had never heard a radio broadcast (as that was invented in 1895), but he would certainly understand what baseball was. Now football or basketball could have worked. And then he acts like a car is a completely foreign and unknowable invention, when the first car race was also held in the late 1870s. Though the car did not become a household item until the late 1920s and wasn't mass produced until 1913, as a learned man who read newspapers, he would certainly have understood what a car was and what baseball was.
Stargate SG-1: Cure (2002)
A Logical / Ethical Flaw
In addition to the logical flaw about Queen Egeria simply producing one unflawed symbiote that would blend with a person from that world and become a Tokra, once again we see that the Tok'ra symbiotes really don't care that much about their human hosts: it's perfectly acceptable for a Tok'ra symbiote to sacrifice itself for its Queen, and to convince the symbiote's human host to take on a new symbiote in its place (though no one knows how something that big would fit inside a human), but then when the Queen dies, why does the human host have to die along with it? Wouldn't the Tok'ra have found another symbiote to enter the human host and keep her alive? You just see them carrying her body back.
Adam Ruins Everything: Adam Ruins the Wild West (2016)
Massive Federal Government Spending?
The idea that massive federal government spending had anything to do with the settling of the Wild West is laughable and on its face a false claim, considering that Adam's example is the amount of money the government spent building the Hoover Dam. Construction of the Hoover Dam didn't start until 1931, nineteen years after the last two unincorporated territories of the contiguous U.S., NM and AZ, became States. Yes, electricity supplied by the Hoover Dam to power air conditioners made the southwest States more habitable and was responsible for the populations growths of those States, but that is not the same as settling those territories, which had occurred 20 - 65 years earlier.
