Blog is no more...well kind of.

As I'm sure everyone can tell this blog is no more. If you've some how stumbled upon it, welcome.

Due to a series of unfortunate events I decided to end the podcast, and the blog. Either one may start up again in the future but it's not looking good.

I thank everyone for their support!

Yeah, another Show Update...about the same episode

So yeah, I'm still very busy.

Here's the current plan folks.

On Friday, June 29th I will record and upload the Band of Brothers Episode.  Sorry it's so late, but between work and actually trying to have a social life I just can't devote enough time to do the episode, and have it be the quality I've come to expect from myself.

On Sunday, July 1st I will record the Spiderman episode. I won't upload it until Tuesday though.

The good part about all this is that I do have a paying job, and a social life. So there is that.

Show Updates

Hey everyone!

First, it's clear this blog has died out, and I am sorry.  But it's the way it is.

Quick note about the next episode of the podcast. I'm very busy at work this week, and there are a few others things I have to deal with. The Band of Brothers episode will be delayed a time. It'll be no more than a week. I don't plan on this affecting the rest of the schedule so you will not get an episode this week, but then you'll get back to back weeks with an episode.  So there is good and bad.

Sorry all.  Hope you understand.

Once Upon a Time 1x15 Review

Red-Handed

Once Upon a Time has shown that it is capable of telling very endearing and sometimes campy love stories as we saw last week with Dreamy. They also have shown a capability for very dark and even scary episodes as we saw with The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. This week was clearly the latter. After more than half the season we finally get the back story for Ruby and Granny. It's been known since the pilot that Ruby was Little Red Riding Hood, and we've seen her appear in multiple Snow White stories, but this was the first chance we've had to see her story. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, and that's not a shock. It was written by the great Jane Espenson. If you don't know the name look it up on IMDb, I guarantee you'll see more than one show that you really like. 

Awake 1x02 Review

The Little Guy

After watching the second episode of this show I've decided two things. First, it's that this show certainly has legs and has grabbed me. This isn't only due to the fine acting, and impressive characterizations we're getting but also because even after only two episodes I care about these people much more than I do about characters I've seen in shows for years. The other thing I've decided is that this is a brilliant move by NBC. They look at TV and see that shows like CSI and Law and Order do amazing. What did they do? They put on a show that is two episodes of CSI in one, and also has a mysterious quality to it for the geeks. It's CSI + Lost!!  Brilliant NBC, brilliant. 

Once Upon a Time 1x14 Review

Dreamy

In this episode of Once Upon a Time we finally learn about the other aspect of the show's favorite fairy tale, the Dwarfs. I personally really enjoyed this episode. I know there are people who don't like when the episodes appear to just be 45 min long commercials for Disney movies but hey, Disney is paying a lot of money for this show and I also love the shout outs. So deal with it. This week I thought both the Fairy Tale Land, and Storybrooke plots were strong. It was a smart move to tie Leroy's story in with Mary Margaret. That way you could continue telling her story of woe, but also still focus on Leroy and Astrid. 

The Walking Dead 2x11 Review

Judge, Jury, Executioner

So wow! Talk about an episode that lulls you into a sense of calm.  As always, spoilers throughout! 

This episode is about two things, and those two things seem to connect late in the episode in what I saw as a very predictable and average(compared to where you know this story can go). We find out of course just a few minutes later that these two stories will connect again. What I'm talking about is the story about the Randal question, and also the story about Carl. To me the Carl story was the far more interesting, and riveting one. Dale's quest to get everyone to see the humanitarian side of things seemed very ignorant, and preachy. My personal politics aside, you can't look at this situation like it's happening in a pre-walker world. Dale had many points, and was very moving at times but the pros and cons just don't add up to keeping Randal alive. The odds of Randal being even a little bit useful are slim. He was with that other group for awhile, and they sent him to attack Rick, and he managed to fall and hurt himself. Not exactly a powerful warrior.
