One of my first memories of being disillusioned with media, having my hopes up and being let down was TPM. I went and saw it, kinda convinced myself it was cool...

Then a couple days later, someone was asking me about, and they asked what happened. I took a moment to think and finally had to come back and say 'idk, I guess nothing really'.

    I tried so hard, but poor Jake Lloyd was never given anything to work with, and Natalie Portman and Samuel L Jackson and any other actors who were hoping for some competent direction were hung out to dry too. Some of the worst line readings I’ve ever heard from professional actors.

    Then there was JarJar… and watto… and the neimoidians… oh, and the utter lack of a compelling story…

    Like you, though, I convinced myself that the bones were good, and then also that they were just getting warmed up and episode two would be a banger. Spoiler alert: it was not, though it had a few isolated moments as well.
