There was plenty of continuity between 2017, 2018, and 2019, but each show was very distinct. 2022 so far feels like elements of each combined and as a result seems to be lacking in creativity, conceptually. I'm not sure if that's on the program coordinator, or it it perhaps goes to higher-ups in the "braintrust" or whatever you want to call it. Did that staff shake-up they went through have more effect on total corps psyche than they thought it would? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but that would have happened long after the design choices had already been made so it's a moot point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music is bland, the same chromatic scalar gestures and isolated hits they've been doing for years without real long-form musical ideas that create cohesion or musical intelligence. The ballad is nice sounding (as they usually are), but feels more like a standalone entity than integrated into the show. Overall it's just kind of meh, lots of demand without any soul...and the uniforms are a big fail. I see them dropping out of the top 5. Boot. I think you articulated my thoughts really well. They're struggling to understand what aspects of babylon made them successful 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably didn't, why not just cut to the chase and explain what you're trying to say? I'm not interested in playing games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
