Book Review – Arrow, Volume 1
I got a galley copy of the first collection of the Arrow tie-in comic (issues 1-6 and the #1 special edition) and while it certainly has the feel of the show down for the serious parts, it’s sorely lacking the humor and charm of Amell’s ‘hood’. Â It also makes little sense unless you are keeping…

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Rewatch – Season Three
DS9 Rewatch: Season One, Season Two Note: To save my sanity, from here on I’m only going to cover the episodes that stand out to me, or ones I have a really funny comment on. Season three again starts with a multi-part episode, and it’s important. Founders! The Dominion! THE DEFIANT. I fucking love that…

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Rewatch – Season Two
DS9 Rewatch: Season One The series really starts to round into form with it’s second season, with the actors seeming to be much more comfortable in their roles. More Dominion stuff, more Bajoran stuff, more Garak. Here are my episode thoughts: Episodes 1, 2, 3 – The Homecoming, The Circle, The Siege: A rare three…

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Rewatch – Season One
Since we finally bit the bullet and signed on with Netflix, I decided it was high time to re-watch my favorite Star Trek series, Deep Space Nine. There are a few rough patches, but I enjoyed S1 quite a bit more than I anticipated. Some general thoughts first. Bashir was so annoying at first, wasn’t…

The Legend of Korra Season Finale – You Gotta Deal With It!
We have watched the Korra finale a few times now in these parts, and I love it. Â There are many who don’t, and they would be wrong. Â That is not to say that there weren’t problems or things that could’ve been tweaked, some silly choices, but you know what? Â I didn’t even think of them…

The Legend of Korra
This is a notice to those of you who wax nostalgic about the cartoons of your youth, and claim nothing they make these days can compare. I bet you’re not watching The Legend of Korra, the follow-up series to Avatar: The Last Airbender, on Nickelodeon. A:TLA was well known for being an excellent show, and…

Second Class Citizen
I went home last night, and while I was putting Eva to sleep for the night, I turned on Fox so I could watch Eagles/Steelers. HOWEVER, as my old CRT television hummed to life, I was presented with an annoyance. I could only see how many points the Steelers had. Of course, for most of…

Movie Review: The A-Team
I went and saw The A-Team last night, and I have to say I enjoyed myself. It was exactly what I expected, nothing more, nothing less. It had plenty of nods to the series, while modernizing it and making it different enough that you didn’t feel like you’d seen it all before. Glad I went. …
