Regular Show: In Space S8 E4 ‘Space Creds’

Mordecai and Rigby are loving space but they are  little bored. They soon see a commercial that tells of hover boots and of course they want them.

No one wants to  buy the boots for them and they are saddened by this.They all know that these boots are too dangerous especially for a pair of dunderheads like Mordecai and Rigby. When Muscleman and Hi Five Ghost show off their hover boots they are invited to a party and Mordo and Rigs aren’t. Whenever Muscleman gets something it really does push the guys to get it, because he really is the worst.

Suddenly they are told by a crew mate that someone needs help. They are tasked by a sexy scientist named Jessica to head into her plant monster and to save her husband. If they do they will be rewarded with enough money to buy the hover boots they so desire. The monster quickly eats them and it is quite disgusting. The artists are really good at crafting things to look as real as possible. As soon as they fall through the maw they land in a large forest.

Armed with only lasers they look for Craig and it is quite hard. The only light they have is the glow emitted by their lasers. They are trapped by a plant monster and are saved by Craig.

Craig, Jessica’s husband has really grown accustomed to living inside the plant monster. She pushed him into the monster when he said they need to stop with these experiments. The humorous thing is that this only happened yesterday. To get so buff in that short of a time is nothing but a miracle. They tell her they are ready to bring him back and when they get out she aims a laser gun at them.

Jessica is obsessed with her plants and the necklace her husband took from her. She is soon eaten by her monster an then Craig jumps in to save her, they are then eaten together. Really actually quite a beautiful scene to show two people fall back in love. Clearly the wonders of space can separate people and it takes true caring to bring them back together.

With their credits they earned they are instantly hurt by their hover boots as they are a dangerous thing to own. I wonder if they will have these boots in later episodes. Or will this just be one time thing? Only time will tell. All I know is I did enjoy this episode.

Regular Show: In Space S8 E3 Welcome to Space

The dome finishes blasting through lightspeed and are introduced to their new space friends. They arrive at the home base a space tree. All of the domes are being brought here to be kept safe. This show is really something to behold.

The gang is told they are here to bring parks to space. They will be trained and then travel through space to set up parks. Classified images pop up and the chief blocks the screen, clearly something is fishy.

Benson doesn’t want to take part in this experience at all. He is upset that he was lied to too and just wants to go home. He runs off and runs into a door that he assumes leads to Earth. It is interesting that Benson is the one who is against those but honestly it make sense. He really only feels that he has it in him to manage a park.

As he lands he is beset upon by the press. He gets away from them and finds that his apartment has been taken by a group of young people. He then tries to  get a job but since he is a terrible being he is fired.

He soon ends up as a hobo and his only possession is the tape that Mordecai gave him. He watches it and it shows all the guys and Eileen saying nice things about how Benson should stay in space.

He runs out of a door and finds himself back on the space ship. Turns out he was just in a simulator. He is now fully ready to stay on the ship because he cares about all of these guys.

Such a deep episode for all that is worth. Benson needed a wake up call and I am glad he was able to get one so easily. Clearly this episode is foreshadowing that all of the guys are going to need to be together to face what is coming next.

 

You’re the Worst S3 EP4 ‘Men Get Strong’

After finding out his father died in the previous episode, this one begins with Gretchen looking sad at Jimmy’s back. Jimmy seems sad but suddenly he faces her with a grin. He was so drunk that he didn’t even remember. When she tells him he freezes unable to say a word.

He unfreezes and tells her he totally remembered. He is clearly happy and uncaring about his father’s death. It really is something to be sure to see someone not care about their father. The world is a terrible place and there are so many awful people.

Edgar is going to the VA to get help for his PTSD which is good because it really is affecting him. I really hope he is able to get this help and come out as a better person.

Lindsay is processing feeling which she doesn’t ever do. Lindsay really is growing but she is just inching along and it is rather funny to see her try and grow up.

Gretchen goes to talk  to his therapist about Jimmy’s fathers death. She tells her she needs to help him with it. Gretchen wants to wipe it out in a moment but the therapist says to let him deal with it in his own time.

Gretchen wants to take him out on a sad day to see if they can make him cry.

Lindsay and Paul go to take a parenting class. Jimmy’s ex Becca and her husband are there and Becca’s husband just wants to drink.

Edgar takes Gretchen and Jimmy to a graveyard in hopes of making him cry. Gretchen has a funeral fetish.

Lindsay is doing well in the parenting class which upsets Becca. Becca is her sister and she always expected Lindsay to never have or want kids. Such a realistic sister relationship to be honest.

Paul tells Lindsay that the baby will look like him which disconcerts her a little. Lindsay ends up talking to another dad to be and helps him buy baby gear. She then tries to kiss him because she is just that stupid. With Lindsay it is always one step forward and two steps back.

Gretchen takes Jimmy to a British Pub and pretends to be his dad. Yelling at him and he thinks he is feeling but its just gas. Clearly Jimmy isn’t really truly unfeeling, he just has a hard time showing his true emotion as many men do.

Jimmy comes home to find Edgar has bought all his British snacks and he runs off. Jimmy goes to his room and finds a jacket his dad owned. Smelling it and going through old things he looks like he is crying but he is actually happy. Excited to finally be done with his father. He shoves all of his dad’s stuff in a drawer which opens as he leaves the room. We definitely haven’t heard the last about this. He is going to have some sort of break down as he continues through the steps of grief.

I’m curious how this will continue to play out in next week’s episode “Twenty Two.”

New Girl S6 E2 ‘Hubbedy Bubbedy’

The second episode of season 6 begins with Schmidt opening mail. The mail situation is out of control and Schmidt wants to organize it with Cece’s help. Jess and Cece are going to find people to vote for Hillary. Schmidt ever the Republican is only after the Paul Ryan 2020 election so at least he isn’t a Trump supporter. If Jess and Cece get more votes for Hillary he will vote for her, if not they will vote for Winston. This show is always quite topical if only in small bursts.

Winston ends up helping Schmidt organize and lets slip there is a junk drawer. Schmidt freaks out but ends up finding an admission letter for Cece. Schmidt is always a supporter for his new wife and has been all along. It is so nice to see their love has grown so strong.

Nick takes Winston’s advice and calls his long distance girlfriend even though he is terrible at phone conversation and says he is up for phone sex. Winston shows him his collection of costumes and says that video sex is a lot easier.

Jess and Cece are both trying to work to promote Hillary for president. Jess is trying harder then she should. Jess always tries harder then she should,but it is part of what makes her so endearing.

Schmidt goes to the Hillary den and ends up getting roped in to organize but only because it is his pet peeve. Schmidt is a crazy man, he always ends up going against what he thinks. He is pretty easy to manipulate because he wants the world to be how he wants it.

Jess and Cece go to a sorority and drink to get the young women to get registered to vote. Definitely not the best way to get new voters.

Nick decides he wants to have space video sex. Nick is truly a ridiculous man and he is definitely going to make a fool of himself. It doesn’t even end up being Regan, it is Winston’s girlfriend.

Jess and Cece are sad that the girls didn’t write their real names. Jess gives a rousing speech and the girls acknowledge the name’s they wrote down. In such a crazy political year this is quite poignant. So many young people don’t want to vote even though they definitely should.

Schmidt is tasked with calling people to vote for Hillary and can only say Hubbedy Bubbedy. Always good when they use the title of a show or episode in the show.  Jess and Cece lead a parade of drunk sorority girl’s to the campaign head quarters so they can register.

Winston gives Nick cards that he wrote him to show off his style. Winston and Nick really are best friends and have been for years. It’s good seeing such a real friendship in a show.

The sorority girls are all actually Trump supporters and they are going to vote because of Jess. Cece doesn’t want to go to college, because it just isn’t for her. Jess and Cece lose the bet and thus have to vote for Winston. Jess ends up dressing up as Trump, she really looks hilarious.

Another good episode of this amazing show. With such an insane election coming up it was nice to see behind the curtain in a humorous way. I am excited for next week’s episode ‘Single and Sufficient!’

Gotham S3 E2 Mad City: Burn the Witch

After a recap of the Season 3 Premiere things begin.

Bruce wakes up blindfolded in the Court of Owls office. The head of the court talks to him and orders him to give up all his evidence. Bruce wants to take down this organization and wants to make a deal. They make an agreement with the stipulation that he will stop investigating the court or the murder of his parents. He is knocked out and removed from the premises.

Gordon wakes up to a knock at his door and it is one Valerie Vale. She needs Selina Kyle to help take down Fish Mooney. Gordon goes to see Barbara to find out if she knows where Selina is. She will only tell him where Selina is if he kisses her. Her insanity really does make her character shine.

Valerie leaves Gordon in the lurch for not letting her find Peabody.

With Ivy being pushed down into the pipe her transformation has occurred. The young Ivy is now the voluptuous version of herself. She is nonetheless surprised by the change. She meets a man and calls herself Ivy.

Valerie tells Bullock where Fish Mooney is and they head off to take her down. A battle soon ensues between the monsters and the coppers. In the chaos Fish ducks out.

Penguin speaks out about Fish beginning his bid for Mayor. He is going to stop at nothing to destroy the monsters and kill Fish.

Bruce wakes up in the manor, surprised.He wants to keep his word but Alfred warns the Court may not keep their word.

Gordon goes to the GCPD and talks to Lucius Fox.  They found the mummified Ethel Peabody and Gordon is shocked by the sight. Bullock is met by two of Fish’s Monsters and taken to see Fish. Fish kisses him so he will help her find Strange. Their relationship has always been a twisted one. There was once something there, and the tension is often quite palpable.

Ivy is not a fan of the man who rescued him especially when he tosses out a houseplant.

Gordon goes to talk to Commissioner Barnes about Bullock and Barnes is upset that he is even there. Barnes won’t tell him where the lab where Strange is but he will take him there. Bullock leads Fish to the location and tries to get in, the guards are killed by the monsters and Fish easily strolls in finding Strange in a plexiglass cube. BD Wong’s portrayal of Strange really is stellar.

Fish wants Strange to fix her and then create her an army. Strange tells her he can’t fix her, which clearly is true based on his demeanor when she tells him to rethink his answer. These characters all work so well with the terrible character that is Fish. If a cop comes within 20 feet of the building Harvey will die. Such a diabolical woman, Fish woul kill the man she loves. Suddenly, the press led by Valerie Vale charge in and are blocked off by the cops. Penguin is so happy that Fish is cornered and is gathering his friends to take out Fish.

Fish nearly cries begging Strange to fix her, she really is just over the top. Penguin leads his army on an attack on the manor where Strange is being held. Gordon always ready to do whatever it takes sneaks in the back door.He is soon beset upon by the two monsters Fish has with her.

Gordon only wants to save Bullock and nothing else matters. He has a way to get her out of there if she will give him Bullock. Gordon tells Penguin to send his mob in and then he will get Fish. The two monsters die at the hand of the mob as Penguin finds Fish.

Fish didn’t kill Penguin because he is hers. She says the greatest thing she ever did was turn him into the Penguin. Penguin doesn’t kill her because of his emotions. As the mob cheers for Penguin, Gordon sees that Penguin clearly didn’t kill Fish.

Dressed in a sultry green dress Ivy walks out having killed her savior with the potted plant.

Alfred decides Bruce needs to be taught how to dance.The window breaks and in walks Bruce’s clone, begging not to be hurt.

Valerie goes to see Gordon and tells him about the story of Fish’s escape which is bogus. She saw the events unfold, and realizes Fish isn’t dead.Valerie and Jim kiss as Jim’s ex Lee walks off a train. Looks like the drama train has come to the station.

Excited for next week’s episode Mad City: Look Into My Eyes, and the Mad Hatter’s first appearance.

 

Regular Show: In Space S8 E2 Cool Bro Bots

The Trust No one message appears on the screen as they group runs into the house to hide. Soon the door is blasted open and green faced aliens walk in. They are actually helper bots or so they say. The group huddles up and Benson is the one to ask if they are really going to help. They soon create a device that uses natural stuff to send them back to Earth. Though Regular Show always starts out simple, things usually heat up pretty quickly.

Mordecai and Rigby don’t trust the robots and watch them closely. Rigby thinks they are just a little too nice. They see one of the robots taking bags of stuff that would help them get back to Earth into their space ship.

They cover themselves in foil and sneak on the ship. One of the robots designates himself a reaper bot and deposits the foliage to gain 2000 credits. Sounds like a pretty good job, if you can drop 2 bags of leaves and net that much money. I wonder what the exchange rate is.

They show the robots the text and find out is an ad for Papa Quasar’s pizza. The reaper bot brings in pizza and Mordecai and Rigby tell them to leave. Soon Humans appear with guns in hand.

A metallic Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox appear to harvest. This show always goes above an beyond in doing what it wants. The creators really are genius to be able to think of so many great ideas.The “helper” bots finally show their true colors and a battle ensues. This show really is anything but regular!

They destroy the villain’s ship but aren’t able to destroy the Bunyan Robot until Rigby smashes his gun and a blast hits his beard. They fire at that weak point until the mech falls over.

I’m really curious what is going to happen in the upcoming episodes. The new allies lead them to Pop’s room which turns out to be their control room. Looks like they won’t be going back to Earth anytime soon. This final season is looking to be something amazing a true send off that this show deserves. Tommorrow we get two more episodes, with every one we are closer to this wonderful show’s end. I’m honestly both excited  to watch more and sad to see it go.

Regular Show: In Space S8 E1 ‘One Space Day at a Time’

Regular Show’s final season starts out with a brief recap with the domed park blasting into space. The world is thrown into chaos as parks are shot into space. Margaret looks sadly up into the sky. I do hope she ends up with Mordecai in the end!

Benson finally breaks the fax machine attached to his body by the scientists. The park gang and Eileen all freak out until Mordecai takes charge. Mordecai may be the master slacker but he does have moments of leadership quality.  They just have to handle it one day at a time.

Benson holds a meeting splitting off the group to make things work. Eileen and Pops go to find food while Muscle Man and Hi Five’s head to find salvageable parts. Soon they come back with a pile of garbage that actually will come in handy.

Mordecai and Rigby of course goof off when they find space golf carts. This duo is truly hilarious together and they definitely know how to goof off. I really do feel like they have grown up throughout the series which is awesome even though it may not be so much.

Eileen creates a satellite and it works for a moment giving them hope of contacting Earth. It soon breaks apart leading to Benson freaking out. Benson and Rigby come to blows when Benson says this is all Rigby’s fault. Though they all did press the button thinking doing so would destroy the dome. So really they were equally at fault, though Benson can’t admit that.

Mordecai and Rigby fly out to space and soon get a message that says Trust No One. Muscleman and High Five Ghost go to save them when they hit a satellite. Pressing buttons they soon press a button that starts a crane game. Muscleman finally manages to grab the car and brings them back. Skips is quickly trying to climb up to the moon door which he does manage to open.

Darkness falls over the dome and they think its the sun setting but its a ship. Dun Dun Dun!

 

Big Bang Theory Season 10 Premiere- The Conjugal Conjecture

After a review of the Season 9 finale the  hilarity ensues. Sheldon is talking to Leonard through the wall, about the thought of them being step brothers and what Leonard’s father and Sheldon’s mother are doing.

Penny wants Leonard to play dumb about what their parents did. Leonard’s mother doesn’t want to go to the wedding even if they threw it together for her.

Howard was slammed with a ticket for driving fast. Raj runs to get the door and its a stranger. He needs to see Howard and Raj is terrified, as he thinks it is something bad.  The man gives him his card and judges Raj because Raj pretends to not  speak English well.

Penny is driving her father, mother, and brother back home. They are clearly an interesting family. After being released from jail Penny’s Brother is at odds with his mother. She loves him clearly but she just wants him to make better choices. Wyatt just wants everyone to calm down.

Leonard and Sheldon are with their families. Sheldon is trying to figure out who can stay with who. The math of this show really can be so interesting as it really plays into the humor.

Wyatt and Penny are a great father and daughter pair. Wyatt enjoys drinking and after seeing his wife and her energy one can see why. Leonard and his mother go across the hall to meet Penny’s family.

Sheldon and Amy are with Leonard’s father and his mother. Sheldon is angry at both of them.

Howard calls the general back to talk to him. The general asks about Raj’s immigration record and Raj tells him not to say anything. He will meet the general to talk to him in an upcoming episode.

The wedding really looks beautiful. As Stuart comes in he has an awkward moment with Leonard’s parents.When Wyatt gives Penny away he tells him not to give Penny’s brother money.

Bernadette is officiating and really doing a great job. She has quite the Mrs.Wolowitz vibe going on. Penny and Leonard recite their vows, and they are truly beautiful.

Leonard’s parents may not get along, but they both know they have raised a great son. Sheldon speaks from his heart about Leonard and Penny. After they kiss he awkardly hugs them. With Sheldon it is always two steps forward and one step forward but at least he means well.

Penny, Sheldon, and Leonard drive their parents to the airport. The aftermath of the events lead each of them to feel exasperated by the whole situation. So much tension drove this episode but it was necessary.

While not the funniest episode it was a sweet one. Penny and Leonard are finally married and we were introduced to characters we have been hearing about for a long time. I really do enjoy that they are showing new characters after so long. Excited to see the Military Miniaturization next week!

 

Customization returns along with new Pokemon and Pokemon Refresh in a new trailer!

Pokemon Sun and Moon is closer and closer each day, and the Pokemon will stop at nothing to excite its fans.

This trailer started off with new Pokemon who are exclusive to either game.

Passimian was the first New Pokemon they showed off and he is of the Fighting type. A Pokemon resembling a lemur who wields a ball. He has the ability receiver which allows his ability to change to save him from an attack. I think this Pokemon is quite cool and very inventive.

Oranguru then got his time to shine, an orangutan Guru as it were. This Normal/Psychic Pokemon is clearly wise beyond its years. It is said that Oranguru are healers of wild Pokemon and have even been known to use items humans normally use. Quite the fearsome Pokemon to be able to do what other Pokemon can’t

Lycanroc is next up with his two forms. The first is the midday form which is exclusive to Pokemon Sun. While the Midnight Form is exclusive to Pokemon Moon. The Midday form is more wolf like and the Midnight Form is far more vicious looking.

The Midday Form really does just look like a stereotypical Wolf and is pure Rock type. Strong and loyal if this Pokemon respects you as a Rockruff you will have a ally forever.

The Midnight Form is just an awesome Pokemon, which is just Rock type. I honestly am surprised that it is just Rock as I hoped it would have been Rock Dark but c’est la vie. This Lycanroc is more like a werewolf which is what was thought to be the case. This devious grinned Pokemon baits it foes with a first attack before smashing them. Definitely not a Pokemon you want to be facing, I am sure he will join my team’s ranks.

Customization is back in full force with tons more to customize. The original character designs are nice but it always helps to have a character you create. The amount of customization is definitely improved and I am excited to see what kind of character I will be able to make.

There is also Pokemon Refresh which is similar to Pokemon Amie. In this you get to feed and pet your Pokemon. By doing so you get to raise their affection for you. This is such a great feature as it really allows you to connect with your Pokemon.

Lastly they showed off two new Z moves specific to fan favorites Pikachu and Eevee. Pikachu gets Pikatastrophe which looks like a devastating move. Eevee gets Extreme Evoboost which summons the power of all its evolution’s to increase Eevee’s power. This really looks like a wonderful fan service type move. I really enjoy that Vaporeon looks like he is the ultimate Eeveelution in this Z move.

Another thing announced was the connection between Sun and Moon and Pokemon Bank. This update will now come later then expected which I guess is understandable. With this update we will be able to use Poketransporter to send Pokemon from the Digital copies of Red, Blue, and Yellow to Sun and Moon!

With new news coming on October 4th we have a little time before we will get any news. But with less then 2 months the news will begin slowing so they don’t reveal it all. So excited to get my hands on this game!

New Girl, Season 6 Premiere, “House Hunt”

After a recap of Season 5 things are changing for the New Girl crew. Schmidt and Cece are trying to buy a house. Winston and his lady friend are forced to talk over Skype as she is training. Jess is freaking out because Nick is with his girlfriend Reagan and not her.

Schmidt and Cece are trying to move out with the help of Allie’s sister but she is a terrible real estate agent. Jess wants to jump in and help them but they really want to do it themselves as a couple.

Nick comes back to the loft to find it empty. The actor Jake Johnson is a lot thinner then he has been in past seasons another cool thing about the evolution of Tv series. Humorously he calls for everyone before calling for Cece. Jess is bothering Cece and Schmidt because she is really inserting herself into this decision. Cece finally tells Jess what she needs to hear but Jess isn’t hearing it. She does leave as Schmidt goes to use the house’s stove.

Winston tells Allie’s sister the news that Schmidt and Cece fired her. Winston lies to her, and tells her that he is buying a home. Clearly a recipe for disaster.

Jess comes back to the loft to see Nick home. Nick is doing the long distance thing with Reagan. When Nick wants to spend time with her she lies to get out of it. Jess goes to Cece for help and finally tells them that she does love Nick.

Winston and Allie’s sister are still looking for a house in the lie Winston has set up. She finds him a boat which is not anything Winston would ever want. Winston always ends up in weird situations because he is just too nice.

Nick comes to the bank to help Schmidt and Cece with a loan. With their bar as collateral they are able to get a big loan. Clearly the amount of money they will need to repay is going to change things. Jess decides to deal with this like an adult.

Winston tells Allie her sister is stupid. She ends the call a little more abruptly then Winston would have liked. As he closes the laptop he sees Jess looking dejected. Jess tells him she needs to tell him something. She first tells him Nick is back which makes him jump for joy. Then she tells him she still loves Nick.

Winston helps her knock on his door so Jess can be try to be friends with him again. Nick completed his novel in New Orleans and it is dedicated to her.

Schmidt and Cece didn’t buy the big house and bought the fixer upper. This will be a big focal point of the series I am sure. They begin knocking down the walls to see whats hidden behind and find a fireplace. They cheers to this discovery and the family of friends is happy.

Really a sturdy premiere. It had a lot of laughs and a lot of exposition for the future adventures. It told us what has happened to our cast and how they have been doing over the summer. It set itself up for the season ahead by pointing out big threads that will run through the season. I can’t wait for next week’s episode “Hubbedy Bubbedy”
