Back to the Future

[kryptonitemonkey]

Thank you Netflix for having Back to the Future. I do have to say though, while it's one of the best movies ever, if you ever actually take the time to think about it, a lot of things don't make sense. Time travel always makes for interesting stories, but it sure can lack cohesion sometimes. It was a little difficult to watch this time around. I'm not sure why, but while I still enjoyed it, I also noticed a lot more little things that bugged me. Like, if changing the past made him disappear, why did it take so long to start happening? And since changing the past can instantly change things, why when he came back did he not recall his new timeline as well as the old? Time paradoxes tend to be a dime a dozen in sci-fi, but they at least try to be consistent. What bugs me the most is that I couldn't just sit down and enjoy it without nitpicking. Come on, me, get with it!

I tend to prefer funny over overly emotional, but that was a good episode to be sure.

I also tend to like some of the very last episodes, but that's just because they have Morena Baccarin in them...

well, at the risk of sounding like a parrot, i usually prefer funny also. in the case of 2010, i can actually ENJOY that emotional-ness because they don't stay dead. xD i am not typically one for drama, especially SAD drama. x_x

i haven't seen the last episodes. i can't think what season i ended with, but it started getting a little too dark for me. i've actually been thinking about picking it up again, but i don't think it's on netflix anymore. :\

Yeah, it's annoying how they always end up pulling various shows. I wish the companies that owned said shows wouldn't get so greedy. It's really the only reason why contracts on shows don't get renewed. If only they'd put that, Eureka, and Warehouse 13 back up. For some odd reason they only have the last season up for those last two.

oh my goodness!!! i had eureka and warehouse on my watch list and i didn't realize it was only one season! that's super lame!! :[ so much for reacquainting myself with either of those...

I know, right? So lame. Though if you still want to see them, you can always go through the Watch Series website. You can stream pretty much any show ever. When the paid site fails me, that's where I go.
