Greatest injustices in Movies and TV

I'm not sure if this should belong in the General Discussion section or the Movies one but here goes...

What are your picks at what were considered the biggest injustices done to a movie, movie series, casting call, tv series, whatever! Include your What If's, Who Could Have Been's and Whatnot's.

Let me start: On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Other than the cult classic that it's become, it could have been Sean Connery's greatest Bond role as many have said. But in my opinion, the best reason is that Diana Rigg and Sean Connery would have been great together.

Connery really should have done OHMSS. Diana Rigg was incredibly gorgeous and she was wonderful in The Avengers TV series. What a lady!


Lazenby would have suited the abysmal Diamonds are Forever, with all that Vegas stuff.

While we're at it, Moore could have stopped at For Your Eyes Only, and Dalton really needed to do a third or fourth Bond.

Yup. Mine too. All 4 Avengers girls were great but Mrs Peel was the best.

Totally agree about Diana Rigg. What a great beauty who was so cool. Remember those black (leather?) pants she wore in the Avengers that showed her amazing shape? I only wished we saw her more in movies.

Always thought Dalton was an excellent Bond and wanted to see more of him.

Thanks, Nitefall.

Completely agree with you about Dalton--he was really very good but so underrated. Without him, Daniel Craig's gritty portrayal may not have been as easily done today--Dalton was key due to his darker interpretation back then when the world was used to the Moore lighter touch.

Hmmm... I am surprised that there aren't more people contributing to this, given the fact that there have been so many 'bad' movies out there!

Where are the SW Prequel Haters???
