As much as I love many of Ds9's other actors, I think Andrew Robinson as Garak takes the cake for me. Others inhabited their roles as well as him, but Garak is compelling basically every time he's on screen.
Charles Dance (I think?) as Tywin Lannister also comes to mind as being arguably the most compelling character in a big cast of great characters.
+1 Hugh Laurie. He and his character carried a show through a lot of otherwise formulaic writing and silly plots. And finding out he's British was a trip after watching him do a perfect American accent for multiple seasons and never suspecting a thing.
Robert Picardo as the Doctor (AKA competent Tobias Funke) is also a good one for injecting a lot of much-needed character into Voyager. But mostly I just wanted to make the Tobias comparison.

No, it's just that the wild overreaction to Velma is 100% the result of demented morons.
​
The show was just merely very hit and miss, not legendarily bad. And also, it got better around episode 4.

I would never watch that shit on HBO; that just inspires more bad television that does not need to be in this world.

No it’s a show about prison. Never seen it but I’ve heard it’s good. From op.

I do gotta say that with the whole MCU as well as Disney being Disney, and as they control a large portion of media (fictional or otherwise)
I’m getting real sick and tired of mediocrity being the defining characteristic of a polarizing piece of media designed in a sterilized lab in a ploy to appeal to the ideal that is ‘everyone’ in the mind of the producers.

> I can't wait to watch these scenes
yea if you're planning to watch the series just know it's 6 fucking season long (plus 1 epilogue season). and there are a lot of stories that rage from great to absolutely fucking terrible. lol.
I have a lot more favourite romance stories too. Trigonometry is another great one. It's about a polygamous couple.

Won't be popular, but I love when Sheldon Cooper flies to NJ and is proposing to her when she opens the door.

Had nothing to do with their attention spans, but good job on a snarky comment that completely missed the point, I guess
>He shat on the lowest hanging fruit.
>Previously you said conservatives in this regard, i corrected you. In onion its fluke billionaires...and their naïve sycophants.
You didn't correct jack mate. He shits on the lowest hanging fruit, doesn't matter if it's conservatives, billionaires, Andrew Tate streamers or 'crazy libruls'. They are ALL low hanging fruit.
And yes I laughed during Grant's cameo, because he is actually funny and talented actor, unlike the script. It is no coincidence that the best parts were Hawke's and Grant's performances: they had limited screentime and didn't get completely sucked into Johnson's lazy writing schticks
Kathryn Hahn is one of the best comedic actresses working today and he gave her absolutely nothing to play with, which is a damn shame. The film is UNfunny. Also a bad mystery film. If not for the cast list, this film would fall into Netflix fodder bin, guaranteed

Not as unanimous praise as you think.
We can keep going in circles here, like you constantly deflecting 'easily available info' and never actually providing any evidence of your claims, because clearly you have no idea what the concept 'burden of proof' means
If you liked Glass Onion, be my guest, I truly don't give a shit you and thousands of others are happy to settle for appallingly mediocre entertainment just because the script validates your viewpoints. There are people that have the bar set a bit higher than that.

My default answer is always whater from Firefly :) So I have to say Mal and Inara.
And my least favorite is effing Meredith and effing Derek. Jeeeses christ. Which is weird, since the whole of Greys anatomy is about that relationship. Argh!

Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich from Shameless.
They are by far my favorite TV romance. Mickeys transformation throughout the show is all time stuff. Noel Fishers acting in the serious bits are phenomenal as well.
