kill the moon
To create an episode of a television show or film in a franchise that is SO BAD that it not only damages the reputation of the series itself, and the reputations of all involved in making it, but it even damages the genre that the show was created in. Think 'jump the shark' or 'nuke the fridge' but x10: this is the ultimate nadir for creative artworks. The term derives from a ludicrous episode of the long-running science-fiction series 'Doctor Who' called 'Kill The Moon' (broadcast October 4, 2014) in which Earth's Moon turned out to be a giant dragon's egg that hatched and was then immediately replaced by another Moon: presenting a completely unbelievable version of science, this episode is considered by many to be the worst science fiction programme ever screened in the history of television. Past tense: killed the moon.
Joe: Hey, what did you think of the new Star Wars film 'The Last Jedi'?
Mike: O-M-G, that film was so bad - it sure did kill the moon!

The Killing Moon
Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights, I saw you
So cruelly, you kissed me
Your lips, a magic world
Your sky, all hung with jewels
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights, I saw you
So cruelly, you kissed me
Your lips, a magic world
Your sky, all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until

The killing time
Unwillingly mine
