Numerical ratings are silly.

They have their uses as a shorthand (but shouldn't be overly relied on), and the huge pushback against them over the last ten-ish years has reached a point of absurdity now IMO.

I just personally have a really hard time putting my thoughts into a fixed number with most films, and trouble really gleaming anything from a number when others use them as descriptors. Most times I much prefer to read actual reviews, or to have a back and forth discussion, and get my thoughts across or learn others' thoughts that way. I think that's why I'm partial to forums like this for discussions still, even when so much of the internet has left them behind.

One man's "6/10, meh... mid" is another man's "6/10, fascinating messy experience."

I for one am getting a bit excited and not judging too much from a production still or two. Seeing the alien going through stages of its growth cycle would be new on screen and still close to the original concept. Hopefully we get to see it. Like other my only reserved gripe is too many callbacks. Dare to be original. Here's hoping for the best!

I'm curious as to what a Season4 would even look like, considering how much of the cast is now gone, and presumably the

Maybe it's time for Sheriff Andy.
