In keeping with my “four to six months behind the times to avoid being tainted by the zeitgeist” way of enjoying pop culture, I recently saw ‘Blair Witch’, the modern stealth sequel to 1999’s ‘The Blair Witch Project.’ As with any found-footage film, it works best if you don’t think too hard about the gimmick, but it does work quite well. Being me, I can’t help but think about the other sequel, ‘Blair Witch 2’, notable only for its exploitation factor and for starring the dude from ‘Burn Notice.’ It’s a bad movie, a dumb movie, and one that is clearly disavowed as part of the BW mythos, leading to today’s non-canonical query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) seriously hopes to hear people targeting the Voyager episode, ‘Threshold’, but will be choosing Marvel Comics’ slow, dumb and pointless ‘Civil War’, asking: You get to choose one and only one issue, episode or installment of your favorite pop culture that will be disavowed forever: What’s your call?

“Highlander: The Source”. I can’t stress this enough, but it is actually worse than “Highlander 2”, something I never expected to be possible. It was almost enough to stop my love of the good parts of the franchise, and is best left forgotten. Do yourself a favor and never, ever watch it. If you have seen it, my deepest sympathies.
Civil War gets my vote too.
Nothing. If I don’t like something, I exclude it from canon. Others may like it, and I don’t want to impose my will on them, so i wouldn’t eliminate it from existence.
