Good Oscar Night for Horror, No?


Del Toro's  Frankenstein scored a bunch of recognition at awards night this year! Vampires in the form of Sinners did so to an even greater extent. That film also grabbed the public consciousness and I am so glad it did.

Starfleet Acadamy- A Real Next Generation


At the very opening of this show I worried it would fall into the Star Treks that I'm not a fan of, because it seemed it was showing the Federation in a bad light, and appearing to ignore the normal hopeful future message that is the core of Star Trek. That worry faded quickly, and my opinion changed to, "This is clearly not targeted at me, but it is truly Star Trek, and fantastic that it's goal is to bring in new, young fans, while still having the awesome teaching staff as an identification point for us old Trekkies."

It is kind of startling how quickly my thoughts while watching shifted to:
"IF ANYONE HURTS MY KIDS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH ME!!!!"

Transformers Rewatch Beast Machines Season 2D

Endgame Pt. I: The Downward Spiral
Vehicon production kicks off again. Why can Megatron do than when the Maximals still live inside his Giant Floating Head?  
Megatron (trapped in the tiny drone) doesn’t have time to design a new body, so he’s picking out a template. Always fashionable that Megatron. "Yes, my queen."
