      From: agamemnon@hello.to.NO_SPAM              I was considering posting two separate reviews but since the first two       episodes of TWBLS were shown back-to-back and the writing and directing       is the most horrendous, amateurish, childish, and insulting I have ever       seen, and consists of nothing more than a thin veil for a woke lecture       filled with unsubstantiated lies and propaganda I'm going to review them       both together.              I'm will review this story written by Pete McTighe and created by Russel       T Davies in comparison to Interstellar by Christopher Nolan since both       contain an environmentalist message.              While one is well written and the environmentalist message, which easily       falls apart on careful consideration, is simply there to set up a       situation where the human race needs to colonise extra terrestrial       planets in order to survive, ushered on by a seemingly alien but in       actuality Earth originating intelligence, serves the science fiction       which always takes precedence and does not seek to be woke or lecture       the audience, the other is pure degenerate woke lecturing spreading       downright lies, mistruths, and misinformation, using science fiction as       as a means to capture an audience and indoctrinate them with a one sided       false narrative which overwhelms everting, resulting in the most       appalling, infantile, and totally horrendous and insulting writing I       have ever witnessed by a clueless and talentless soap opera hack and       political play-write who is incapable of writing any better then an       undedicated infant.              It all tarts off with a humanoid fish lizard being caught up in a       fishing trawler’s nets in the Mediterranean and as soon as the fishermen       see it they shoot it dead. Why are these fishermen carrying guns on a       fishing boat in the middle of the Med? Why have they got them already       pointing at the fish lizard the moment the nets are pulled up? It's as       if they were deliberately hunting the fish lizard to begin with. Why       isn't this explained? Why have the fishermen caught the fish lizard? Is       it by accident or design? The writing is absolute shit from the very       beginning as is the directing.              The shooting of this fish lizard and then another causes other fish       lizards to retaliate by killing two humans in revenge. Why? We still       don't know if the fish lizards were first hunted down and then killed or       not. The writing is total garbage. More about garbage later.              Then the fish lizards all decide to reveal themselves to mankind because       apparently as we learn later two of their hatchlings have been killed by       pollution in the oceans. Like this is only supposed to have only ever       happened now and not before? Humanity went by for hundreds of thousands       of years, decades, centuries polluting the seas and oceans and no fish       lizards ever died as a result of it until now? The writing is absolute       excrement, just like the plot. Even the fish lizards complain about the       excrement in the seas. What about their excrement? Don't fish shit in       the water as they swim? Total hypocrisy.              Oh, did I mention that these fish lizards can also fluidly change gender       as they choose? I think I predicted they would months ago.              So the fish lizards want to communicate with mankind and we are       subjected to 20 minutes of insulting padding showing attempts at       translating their language or squeals, and newscasts documenting their       appearances. This is totally unnecessary exposition which tells us       nothing about the non-existent plot or motivations of the fish lizards       or humans.              An imbecilic, socially inept effeminate moron played played by the gay       actor Russell Tovey is chosen by accident to be the ambassador for mankind.              The degenerate hypocrite Russell T Davies told everyone that only gay       actors were suitable for playing the roles of gay characters, so why has       an unconvincing gay actor playing what would appear to be a heterosexual       character been inflicted on the audience?              After he is activated by UNIT, Tovey is shown being woken up by what       appears to be an obese mixed race male character who at first I believed       to be his male lover. Then he drives off with this character who is       about the same height as him to this black woman's house, and I start to       question if this character is actually male when she starts embracing       the other black woman. What the fuck is going on? Are they lesbians?       Bisexual? A manage a trois?              Oh, so she's supposed to be his daughter? Why the fuck doesn't she even       look like him? I thought he was gay. He acts and behaves like he's gay.       Haven't the producers and director got a clue how to cast people in       appropriate roles so they look convincing?              Now we come to Interstellar. Interstellar was about the main       protagonist's relationship with his daughter. Everything was written       around that relationship and from the characterisation of the daughter       and the main protagonist’s son and their grandfather and their       relationships with each other you could predict everything that followed       in the plot, every motivation for why they did what they did and why       they did it and even what they ending would be, in the first 5 minutes.       Those relationships were embedded into the plot in order to serve and       evolve the plot and were all necessary. In contrast there is no plot       development, characterisation or character development at all concerning       Tovey's daughter or apparently ex-wife. They serve no purpose whatsoever       in evolving the story, because there is no story. They're degenerate       soap opera filler created to waste time by a clueless infantile writer       who doesn't understand the basics of writing or story telling. Why have       them there at all, unless it's the woke political messaging to show a       mixed race relationship? They serve no purpose at all.              The degenerate clueless writer assumes everyone already knows who the       Sea Devils are and who the Doctor is, which is another example of his       ineptitude and bad writing. The Doctor is totally irrelevant to this       story so why waste time talking about him instead of developing the       characters in this specific story in a meaningful manner as in       Interstellar?              Why would the audience know the whole backstory of the Sea Devils? Show       not tell. The writer and director don't have a clue. Nothing is shown       from the Sea Devils stand point. Why are they accepted by the humans as       being superior when they have not demonstrated that on screen? Why       aren't the being nuked as soon as they appear?              In one scene we are shown two humans sucked into the sand by the Sea       Devils. In the next scene a military General with an American accent       tries looking for them and calling them on the radio wondering where       they are for minutes on end. The audience already knows they've been              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
