How to ruin a tv show/movie franchise


I've not seen any of season 4 of Big Love, though even Chloe Sevigny said it was bad. But I can tell you where the seeds of destruction were sown: some earlier episode where Seyfried and gang are at the compound, and Alby's PoliceStormTrooperTeam start swooping over and the fleeing teens are shown running down a hill. IT LOOKS CHEAP showing characters running down hills. Always. Very Bionic Woman.


Similarly, the Star Trek movie where they blend Kirk and Patrick Stewart generations - I've only seen about ten minutes of this, but there was some sort of supposed-to-be-climactic-yet-so-not bunch of explosions and Picard is trying to get down some stairs on the side of a hill. Lame.


If you want continued success in your chosen entertainment field, avoid HILLS and RUNNING DOWN THEM.


Bands, however, DO look better running:
