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."

Strange New Worlds Season Two

Much like the Original Series, this is where this version of Star Trek really hit it's stride. Season One was good, but these episodes raised the bar. It also had some wild and interesting (if emotionally damaging) shifts back and forth in tone from episode to episode. After the first couple of first season stories I was thinking the show was entertaining, but I likely wouldn't rewatch it much. Part way into this season I found myself hoping for a nice "Complete Series Box Set" when they're done.

Transformers Rewatch Beast Machines Season 2C

Sparkwar Pt. I: The Strike

The transformations are getting even more abstract and anime like.
Vehicon General Thrust (who has Waspinator's Spark, for those who can't keep up- or don't care enough) takes another loss in a fight. Poor little doofus

Silverbolt (recently recovered from being the other Vehicon General, for those same groups) is still being a jerk. That’s great.

Of Different Men The Same Woman and Modified Monsters

I was already late on this one, therefore I delayed even further in talking about Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein. (It got a tiny theatrical release in 2025 to meet Oscar requirements, but is mainly on Netflix.) This way it is now almost exactly fifteen years since one of my earliest posts concerning the differences between the original Mary Shelly written novel, and men's interpretations of that tale. I am not behind schedule, I am planning commemorations.

Transformers Rewatch Beast Machines Season 2B

Darkest Knight

Teen-Bat watched everyone on his planet die and was mostly fine. Now he is freaking out over losing Noble/ Savage the guy/ wolf/ dragon/ thing he knew for three days.

Strange New Worlds Season One

I always seem to find the Star Trek series I really like, late. The Original Series counts in this because I wasn't born in time. I'd blame my parents, but I am too busy thanking them for introducing me to it in the first round of syndication.

The only Trek series I enjoy that I saw "real time" was the Animated Series, in my little Spock pajamas and cardboard ears.

That changed this year when Anabelle got a student rate on Paramount for Starfleet Academy, and we've all been having fun with this show. It is clearly targeted at younger viewers, but with stuff for us old Trekkies too. (More on that when the season ends.)
