I don't understand why the review sites allow anyone to vote before the series is completed. Do you need to finish the entire meal to know if it's good or not? Well if the meal is multiple courses, then yes, it would be premature to write a review of the full meal before you have finished all of the courses.

Silver Surfer Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 On 6/9/2024 at 8:45 PM, awakeintheashes said: What’s the social message? Another girl gets in trouble or loses focus and needs a male to bail her out or help her find her way? That’s what we have here and had with Ahsoka. In two episodes, we’ve got one female reliant on her male master to clear her name and another female character trying to prove her worth to another male. I’m not seeing anything forced down throats, and I’m not feeling victimized. I’m sorry if you are, though. You lost me at “male master”. Just breathe, it’s only Star Wars.

Wow. I would make note of each course in the review. For example, the duck was gamey and I wanted to vomit, but the peach cobbler was Devine. While the tasty dessert saved this meal from being a disaster, it still wasn’t enough to make me recommend it to anyone.

And you could/would only do that after choking down each gamey forkful until nothing was left? Wouldn't want to judge it prematurely. C'mon man! That's some fine manure you're spreading.

I like pie Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 (edited) On 6/9/2024 at 11:12 PM, Hulksdaddy1 said: No, it isn't. It's actually very poor on many levels but to make it simple, lets use it on a painting, because that's art. Right? If someone creates a large painting for you but put a blanket over three quarters of it and ask if you like it. Maybe it's green and that's your least favorite color. Not a great start! Can you hate it already though? Without seeing the rest? You could but is that fair to the artist? It is possible it will be the greatest masterpiece you ever saw, as a completed, whole picture. It could be garbage too. The point is there was nothing in two episodes to warrant people spazzing out. It makes it appear they have severe ADHD. Be patient or don't watch it because you'll sound foolish ranting about a story that hasn't finsihed.

Did I say that? Your point is that you can make a judgement on a show by seeing only two episodes, or how good a full meal is by just eating the salad. It’s fine to say that episode 1 or 2 was slow, acting was bad, but it’s a bit premature to say the show in its entirety is a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A show, however, is consumed. And it is common for people to stop when they don't like it, even 1 or 2 bites in. And, if they don't like it enough, they lose their appetite. Actually, my example is spot on. Juno Beach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, my example is spot on. There is. That's what you're doing to the show. Maybe I should have broken it down simpler. You could, relatively speaking, say one bite out of a steak is a whole meal and judge it based on that Or if the steak was tough on one half and delicious on the other. The meal vs and incomplete story just has no logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
