Performance and critique are both arts of interpretation. The two require a processing of otherness, and to take nothing and turn it into something. When repetition is added, inevitable variables will rise, which give such an exciting volatility to theater, live music, and performance art. In some ways, theremaking of motion picturescould be the equivalent to the acts of reinterpretation found in the aforementioned art forms.

Due to the unorthodox nature of the production this season, which was essentially shot like one large movie, the network wouldn’t confirm how many episodes this new season would be, until after the entire season was cut together.

This is an eye-candy action flick, pure and simple. The plot, and I use that term loosely, is just a vehicle for the mayhem. Anyone walking into this film isn’t looking for English period costume drama or Oscar caliber acting. It’s all sex, bullets, beat downs, and laughably over the top action sequences....

To root for the morally righteous, there needs to be a good foil to stand opposite of them, who stands against everything they believe in, and vice versa.
