    "The Batman" cartoon from 2007

    I didn't even know this show existed until the other day when it popped up on Netflix. I've been in a Batman mood, so I decided to check it out. I watched the first few episodes, and it's supremely mediocre. I almost feel like it's just trying to imitate "Batman: The Animated Series" from the...

    Is this the part where we wait?

    The lull after the Christmas Special. Remember when we only had to wait until Easter for new Doctor Who? Has it been said when the new season plans to air? This is part of why I almost stopped watching the show last year. 9 month breaks are not good for keeping me interested.

    "We will not train the boy. He's too old."

    What was the council's alternative plan to training Anakin? He's too old to start training to be a Jedi, but he still has the potential to be a very powerful Force user one day. What would they do if not train him? Send him back home and hope for the best?

    Snoke - speculation (spoilers)

    We didn't really get much of Snoke in this movie, but we know a little more about him that we did the Emperor in ANH. At some point while he was training with Luke, Snoke seduced Ben/Kylo Ren into using the Dark Side. But who is he? Is Snoke a Sith? A force user? In theory, the Sith...

    Do we need more backstory?

    Granted, ANH just kind of dumps us right in the middle of the story. There's an evil Empire...there's a Rebellion. And it worked -- we accepted it -- because we didn't know anything about this universe. But now it's 30 years later and on the surface it really doesn't look like anything has...

    If Seska had survived...

    I've been rewatching the early years of Voyager lately, and I forgot how much I enjoyed Martha Hackett's performance as Seska. I finished "Basics," where Seska dies next to her baby, and I thought to myself...what if she survived? What if Cullah died instead, and Seska and her son remained...

    The Disappearance of Minor Characters

    I've been doing a random rewatch of Voyager the last couple weeks. I say "random" because I'm jumping all over the place, not watching anything in any particular order. However, one thing I've noticed (I've noticed it before, but I haven't really thought too much about it) is the...

    WET, HOT, AMERICAN SUMMER ... the series!

    It debuted on Netflix yesterday. It's just 8 episodes long, and I had the day off, so I blew through it all in one sitting. I thought it was hilarious. Completely absurd storylines, but it had a lot of heart. It was really fun seeing these actors come back together for this project, and it...

    I am content, and it is boring

    I've recently come to realize that I am generally content with my life, and I have been content with my life for a while now. After college it seemed that every 6 months I was having some kind of major life change happen, whether it was starting a new job or moving into a new house or buying a...

    DOFP: The Fate of Mystique

    Spoilers, of course. ... So I'm not talking about what happens to young Mystique at the end of the movie. Her character arc will no doubt see more focus in "Apocalypse." I'm wondering about something that we probably won't ever see: What happened to her in the Alternate Future? When...

    Uncharted 4 delayed til Spring 2016

    http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/11/8190105/uncharted-4-delayed-to-spring-2016 On the one hand, I'm glad they're taking their time. Nobody likes a rushed game (I think Assassin's Creed: Unity taught us that). On the other hand, Booooooooooo!!! My two most anticipated games were Arkham...

    ENT species in 24th Century novels?

    I recently rewatched ENT, and one thing that kept nagging at me were the alien species that played such an important role. The Andorians, the Suliban, the Xindi...races that were totally absent from 24th Century Trek. I am about a decade behind in my TrekLit reading, but I know there was an...

    X-Men films: where do we go from here?

    I just watched DOFP last night for the first time since seeing it in theaters. I think it's a wonderful movie and easily the best X-Men film since X2. What I really like about it is the way it manages combine the story from "First Class" with the story from the original X-Men trilogy. It...

    No Big Bang: Universe existed FOREVER!

    Before somebody else sneaks here and posts this... http://phys.org/news/2015-02-big-quantum-equation-universe.html I just saw this and found it interesting. I admit I am not a quantum physicist, so I definitely don't have a great grasp of the math involved here, but I do find these kinds...

    Dying Light

    Just picked this up. I read some pretty good reviews, so I figured I'd give it a go. At this point I'm just killing time until Arkham Knight comes out. Anybody play this one yet?

    "Avatar" Sequels Delayed...does anybody care?

    So apparently the sequel trilogy to "Avatar" is being pushed back to 2017. I saw the headline on Facebook, and my immediate response was, "I totally forgot they were making those." It feels like the first movie came out such a long time ago, and since then the world has pretty much lost...

    Mortal Kombat X -- new trailer

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EROmqidZQc You know, I played the last Mortal Kombat game that came out for PS3, and I enjoyed it. However, I've always felt like these games really work better in multiplayer. Fighting your way through a bunch of computer opponents just isn't as fun as...

    Filling in plot holes

    Of all the scifi shows I've ever watched, Doctor Who is the one that is the most riddled with plot holes, and for the most part, I forgive them because they're not that important. There are some, though, that I simply CANNOT forgive. Some that I need to find a way to explain because...

    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

    New gameplay was just released. The first few minutes are just Drake climbing around, but once the combat starts...HOLY SHIT. I am so pumped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow2cL-pp6p8#t=332

    Who should be the next BATMAN villain?!

    Somewhere down the road we will have new Batman movies. Whether they are more over-the-top like the 80s/90s Tim Burton films or more "grounded" like the Nolan films, they will happen. Right now we have Ben Affleck donning the cowl for the continuing series of Superman/Justice League films...
