Exploring the world of entertainment, one post at a time
I considered whether to put this review into the one for the main series, but I m glad I didn t, because this is a very different series. I had heard about the general audience s perception of this series, but I honestly thought I d buck the system and wind up liking it at least a little. Let s Continue reading Letting a Low Budget Act as a Constraint: Galactica 1980 (TV Showcase #129)
I had alot of fun not knowing what to expect with this one. I figured it would be another episodic exploration show in the style of Star Trek , maybe with a recurring villain. I was very pleasantly surprised, as I went on, to see just how much was packed into this short-lived series, and just Continue reading Tackling all the Space Story Genres: Battlestar Galactica (TV Showcase #128)
If you ve been reading this blog for any significant amount of time, dear reader, than you understand that, once I m committed to a series, I m a completionist, watching any additions to the given franchise. I must admit, though, that this series was near the bottom of the list for shows I would watch a follow-up Continue reading Can Modern Hollywood Handle a Traditional Family?: Little House on…
CANON NOTE: This post contains perspectives from the Babylon 5 film A Call to Arms. It s only natural that I d watch this series, but if it wasn t a spinoff, I probably wouldn t have. It s not bad TV, but it s nothing like its predecessor. But there s alot to talk about here, so let s board the Excalibur Continue reading The Dangers of Becoming Generic: Crusade (TV Showcase #126)
CANON NOTE: This post contains perspectives from all 7 movies. As a huge fan of science fiction, I m always on the lookout for different interesting stories, whether in books, comics, audio drama, film, or, naturally, television, which, I would argue, is scifi s best medium. But what makes good scifi? Is it just cool battles and Continue reading Using a Story for Higher Ideas: Babylon 5 (TV…
Well, folks, you knew it had to happen. We re here again. And what do I think this time? I m afraid that if you ve read my reviews on the other two films preceding this one, here and here, you re going to hear alot of repeated thoughts. But when you make the same kind of movie with Continue reading The Problem with Enola Holmes 3: A Few Thoughts
I have to say, right off the bat, that I m not a comic book guy. I don t hate them or anything, I just never read them. I like the Spider-Man concept alot, but my experience is as follows: the original Toby Maguire film, the first Andrew Garfield film (which I didn t like), a playthrough of Continue reading The Surprise Hit of the Year: Spider-Noir (TV Showcase #124)
I have some unfortunate news, and I wish I didn t feel that way, because, on the surface, it sounds like great news: Adventures in Odyssey is making a movie. Why is this unfortunate, you ask? Let s talk about it. Adventures in Odyssey (AIO for short) is a Christian radio program that has been making episodes Continue reading Bad Weather on the Way for Adventures in Odyssey: Thoughts and…
I can t believe I m saying this. I was wrong about my Section 31 review it s not as bad as Trek gets. And what s worse I ve found a show worse than Riverdale . I m not kidding. And while the lore damage done to Doctor Who is worse than anything Trek has done, I would absolutely watch all of the Continue reading Kurtzman s Research Project: Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (TV Showcase #123)
For those wondering, Disney decided to go ahead and do something with the Jim Henson Company and make a new Muppet Show . Now, you might see some names attached to it and have concerns, like I did. Will Seth Rogen try to put his own spin on it? Will Sabrina Carpenter run the show and Continue reading The New Muppet Show is Fantastic: A Few Thoughts
