Dethroning Moment of Suck (Darth Wiki)/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

* No ASSCAPS, no bold, and no italics unless it's the title of a work. ie; using italics in the case of words that would be stressed in speech is alright, but don't type long phrases in them. We are not yelling the DMoSs out loud.

 

* [[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]] Had season 3 episode 14, where, in one of the most cliche moments ever experienced in television, Hercules was depowered after being given a choice between love and power. Not only was this bad writing to the nth degree, but also incredibly jarring to fans who watch the show because the want to see Hercules, you know, '''with''' his powers. UGH!!!!!!!

* A moment that completely derailed ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' was the third season episode "Unfinished Business", where the Galactica crew partake in an organized boxing tournament. The episode climaxes (no pun intended) with the revelation that Starbuck and Apollo slept together for one night on New Caprica, and Starbuck left him the next day to marry Samuel Anders (the Resistance fighter from Caprica). As the final boxing match between Starbuck and Apollo finishes, they both wind up in each others arms while their respective spouses look disgusted and walk away. It was much less a legitimate plot twist than a writer forcing the [[One True Pairing]] of Apollo and Starbuck on the audience, at the cost of a season's worth of character development between Kara and Anders/Lee and Dualla.

* America's funniest home video: One video had a kid with diarrhea crying on the toilet while the mom is filming and laughing. How is that funny? The only sympathy for the kid in the clip was from the family dog. Worse it won the 10,000 dollars. Yeah good thing you have the money because the kid will need it for therapy after this. Also how are kids of people vomiting funny? Laughing at someone who is sick and humiliated is just wrong.

** Now, I may be in the minority when I say that I tolerated the Fuegelsang/Fuentez era of AFV and found some moments pretty funny. That being said, their "Seven Deadly Sins" special contained a moment so awful and disgusting it nearly made me swear off the series forever. The episode in-and-of itself is fine at first with each segment of clips focusing on a different sin (a pretty clever idea, I must admit). But, then we get to the theme of "Pride". What sort of clips do they decide to show their audience? Why, babies vomiting of course. Just...no, eww, no. I want to watch people getting into wacky situations. Not change the channel the moment "Junior" decides to literally show us what he had for breakfast. Have the producers forgotten the show is called ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]'' and not "Babies Barf-O-Rama"?
