High concept, weak execution, coasting on the power of a catchy name.

There was no retconning there. Just a good sequel doing what good sequels do.

Reply to Is it true the women in THE A TEAM were fired because the lead actor wanted an All Male cast? by Lili_Danube
Somewhat.
Peppard didn't want Amy around, but Benedict said he was fine with her. She probably could have been able to stick around, but when the actress pushed to be more involved in the gunfights, none of the other cast supported her (b/c women shouldn't be fighting or something, idk). So she wasn't so much fired as just got fed up and left. I don't blame her, but just want to be clear, she wasn't fired, she quit.
On the other hand, Culea was definitely fired b/c of Peppard, but they at least gave her fair warning and wrote her out smoothly.

So we're having lemon-lime flavored limes?

Well no one tuned into Wednesday for the mystery. We just wanted deadpan goth shenanigans, and we got that in spades.

I don't have any suggestions, but I do feel your pain. Most Murder-of-the-week shows, I can guess the culprit pretty easily b/c of the how its written. And its getting to be the same with a lot the season long mysteries.
I thought The Flight Attendent was great when I saw it, but then I realized Wednesday followed the exact same template.

Reply to Why are actors with amazing performances in one high profile role, not re-casted in other high profile roles? by Royal-Geologist587
Mad Men launched Hamm's movie career. Those films weren't smash hits so his star power fizzled a bit.

Reply to In Return to Oz (1985) the nightmare fueled sequel to the Wizard of Oz, why do so many of the characters look completely different from the first film? by ilovemychickens
Because it was a different production company and they didn't actually get the rights to make a sequel to the original film.
They used public domain material from the books. The only thing from the original film they paid to use was the ruby slippers, which cost them a pretty penny.

Reply to When is the case that the main actor of the show gets the "and" credit billing? by [deleted]
Haven't seen but it's odd when a main character gets last b/c the first is usually the most coveted spot.
>I thought the "and" credit was only done for special guest actors who only have a small role in a show.
The last spot is very coveted too b/c it calls more attention to the person's role, but that's usually a consolation prize to not being the star of the show. Again, it's unusual that Cox was not first if he is the star.

Reply to comment by RadBadTad in ELI5: Why does a single franchise change directors so much? Wouldn’t it be better to have the save director for every movie? by cute_brute
Say you do pay it. Then the next film doesn't do as a well. Now you're salty you paid so much for poor results, and don't hire that director back for the next film.

No, it would distract from it. They could market it as "starring Spock".

I would disagree. Assuming you understand the sign language, you still have to stare at them to follow the conversation, which is a bit obvious. They're deaf, not blind.
