Holistic Detective Agency Coming to a TV Near You!

OMGOMGOMG!!!

I can’t contain myself! I have just heard that one of my all time favorite author’s works is getting at least an 8 episode run thanks to BBC America! I am, of course, referring to Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, written by that master of the absurd, Douglas Adams.

The Power Puff Girls And The Teen Titans Do Actually Go Well Together

Now, Cartoon Network has brought back two shows that many have been clamoring for. Teen Titans and the Power Puff Girls are two of the best shows in Cartoon Network history. But with these two reboots we lost something magical.

Teen Titans go is far more humorous unlike its first series.The first series was dark and gritty. It had touches of humor but it was real. The Power Puff Girls though childish was also rather gritty. With blood gushing from the villains faces as they were beat up by the girls.

Now in this time of weakness, we have lost Tv Violence. What used to be prevalent in shows such as Tom and Jerry which is also far tamer is affecting everything. I mean really if you teach your children how to behave a little cartoon violence should be fine. Clearly children are smarter than we give them credit for.

Now that these two shows are crossing over I am unsure of what will happen. It looks like a pretty good episode as it seems to organically combine both shows. Both teams are not to fond of the other side but need to team up to save the world.

As they both are youthful groups this makes sense. Plus it is funny seeing three of the Titans dressed up as the girls. I wonder if the Girls will dress up as the Titans.

I honestly do enjoy both shows so seeing them together could really be something. One can only hope that they bring back the Original Teen Titans in a similar crossover type episode.

Are you going to watch this episode? Do you think it could be good or will it crash and burn? Whatever happens we will know by tonight as it airs at 8  PM Eastern time. I will watch it with hopes that it won’t be terrible. Tweet me @Starkwyvrngamer with any thoughts on this crossover.

Wander’s Wanderings Over Yonder Ended And Why You Should Watch It!

Wander of Yonder was a fantastic show on Disney Channel. Ever since many of the greatest animated Disney shows ended Wander has taken their places. It is a shame that this series is over after only two seasons.

Now Wander Over Yonder is the product of the amazing Craig McCracken. This man is the genius behind many of the greatest cartoons of my childhood, the cartoons of Cartoon Network.He worked hard and even created some of the favorite shows of my youth. Working hard on Dexter’s Laboratory and creating both the Power puff Girls and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends is no easy feat.

Now sadly his newest show is over. But not without one final amazing episode which is good because so many animated shows aren’t  granted a true finale.  Now this episode really brought together many characters and ended right where it should. I couldn’t have asked for a better finale as I think it showed how amazing these characters are.

With the whole show Wander is all about saving the day. He sees the good in everyone and wants to make the world better. His power of hope saves the day and makes everything right. This resounding message of hope definitely makes this show worth watching especially in our somewhat depressing world.

Now Wander is a nomad who travels the horse with his blue Horse like Alien friend Sylvia. They face down the evil Lord Hater a skeleton with a need to take over the galaxy with his army of short cyclopes.  The second season introduces another villain named Lord Dominator who is hiding something.

There are so many good tropes in this show and the humor is reminiscent of Cartoon Network shows. I’m sure he could have made more episode and it is rather shocking that the show was cancelled.Plus this show has amazing stories and really nice connections between the characters.

If you enjoyed his shows from the past then I am sure you will find something in this show. Plus if you have kids you can introduce them to a creator who has made so many children’s lives with his work. I cannot wait for what McCracken comes up with next.

Blue Exorcist Gets A Second Season!

Blue Exorcist getting a second season is amazing news! A thrilling story of 2 brothers who are the sons of Satan and their journey to become Exorcists.

The main character Rin, wants nothing more but to be the Head Exorcist like his adoptive father.

I think this is perfect for newbies and Anime Fans alike. The characters are great and the realism of faith fuses well with the world. Honestly I don’t have any leanings in that area but I enjoy learning and I feel like I have a learned a bit from watching this show.

Plus how can you not like a son of Satan working to take down Satan and his demons.

I cannot wait for 2017 when I can watch the second season of this amazing show. Plus if you haven’t been watching you can watch the first season Dubbed or Subbed. Whatever works for you is gold.

I always find that if I have to do other things I watch Dubbed and if I can just watch I watch Subbed.

Really though if it looks at all interesting give it a shot!

Wayward Pines SN2 EP6 – ‘City Upon A Hill’

The Abbies are coming, they have lit the crops of the Wayward citizens ablaze. The episode begins with the female Abbies foraging and being mothers. Showing off a somewhat human world where these creatures live as they gawk at a helicopter. In an instant they are slaughtered like animals with rounds of bullets.

As they bring away a fallen comrade Pilcher steps out in preparation of the fence’s build.

It jumps to Carrie and Jason, the leader and his wife to laying in bed. He’s ready to have a child, a child so they can lead the youth by example.

Theo sits at a bar with his hand in ice, he wants to get drunk. Rebecca comes into talk about Xander as a siren blares. The citizens run  as the Abbies come forth. They scream as they set the crops ablaze, looks like they aren’t afraid of fire anymore.

An Abbie attacks Theresa as Adam blows its brains out. Hopefully Theresa doesn’t die, though she might be all for it. The Abbies in town freak out in their cages except for the lady Margaret.

Carrie comes for Theo because they need him at the hospital. Xander asks Rebecca to get guns because she knows where they are. Jason leads a task force to slaughter the Abbies. I actually respected him in that moment.

Theo jumps into action taking control of the situation. The task force continues their assault. A war on two fronts but the crops still burn. Jason falls to his knees as we return to the hospital. Quite the gory scene as we see what is going on behind the healing scenes. Theresa is heading towards death, Theo wants to save her. Really something to behold watching the realness of it all.

Jason is upset by his lack of planning, he is upset that Pilcher didn’t calculate for everything. Carrie talks sense into him because she never wants to see him weak. Which makes sense as she is the leader’s lady.

Rebecca can’t answer Theo when he asks about her feelings for Xander. There is meeting of the leaders and they discuss the Abbies. The Abbies were taught to use fire, and they lit the corners so it would catch fire faster. Replanting will take months, and so everyone could starve in six weeks.

There is a rather poignant funeral with a burial of 35 of the last citizens of the world with only a little over 1000 left. Some soldiers come to take Xander’s weapons even though he used them to save the day.  He is shot down by the solider and his knowledge of his past.

The medication is about to run out and Pilcher didn’t make anything to create more. Jason has no idea what he is doing and Theo does. Theo should definitely take charge as he clearly is superior to the young child in charge.

Theresa is barely alive and it hurts Adam, he did betray her and her husband. A flashback with Adam and the horrid teacher Megan occurs, Adam helped send Ethan to the future so he could have Theresa. But he changes his mind as he does have character.

Rebecca comes into shame Xander but he  is doing well. He insinuates that he will be returning to their home soon as he has changed. He is a creep in my opinion as Rebecca and Theo belong together.

Adam sits by Theresa’s bed side because he loves her and is sorry for his lack of help. She wakes up and pulls her hand away, thinking back to Ben blowing out his birthday candles she dies. No main character from Season 1 lives now, how sad.

Margaret is put through a CT Scanner as Theo enters the room. Margaret has double the intellectual centers as humans. Theo and Adam talk as he bandages him. He tells him about Margaret and Adam is freaked out. Looks like the brand on her hand is significant.

The Abbies come out in full force as the citizens walk outside. Again Margaret just watches, never blinking, clearly she is strong. She is actually the leader of the Abbies!

Looks like things are really escalating, “Time will Tell”, will share with us more truths. Cannot wait for Episode 7! As usual feel free to tweet me @Starkwyvrngamer

 

 

 

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Spoilers!

According to stories making the rounds, the Waverider and crew, led by Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill), are on track to meet up with Albert Einstein in 1942. Details on the story line are vague, but TV Line reveals that the team, especially  Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), is in for some disillusionment.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story May Not Use Opening Crawl

So it has come to light that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story may not use the iconic opening crawl sequence at the beginning of the film making us think that this story may very well go it’s own way.

“The crawl and some of those elements live so specifically within the ‘saga’ films that we are having a lot of discussion about what will define the [standalone] Star Wars stories separate and apart from the saga films. So we’re right in the middle of talking about that,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy told Entertainment Weekly.

This is an interesting way to go as this scene at the beginning of each film goes hand in hand and the fact that they may not use it may make the film live up to it’s Rogue One title. On the other hand as the film is set between the events of Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope it may be worth giving the viewer a brief overview on what has happened between this time as it has with all the previous films.

I think this one may split Star Wars fans down the middle so I would love to hear your opinions either in the comments section below or via my twitter account @Deadpool_1984

Marvel’s ‘Luke Cage’ On Netflix is Heading to Comic-Con

San Diego Comic-Con is the yearly event for fans of all things comic and nerdy – with tickets selling insanely fast, incredible line ups and exclusive sneak peeks at the most anticipated upcoming tv-shows and movies, it’s the place to be every Summer.

So it should come as no surprise to Marvel fans that Marvel’s Luke Cage will be making an appearance at SDCC next month. Joining the debut for the upcoming series, the main man Mike Colter (The Good Wife, Salt, Jessica Jones), alongside Alfre Woodward (State of Affairs, 12 Years a Slave, True Blood) who will be playing Mariah Dillard, a politician who wants to usher in a new age for the streets of Harlem where she grew up. Also joining them will be Theo Rossi (Sons of Anarchy, Cloverfield, Meth Head), who will be playing Shades, AKA Alvarez and and showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker.

Further casting for the show includes Rosario Dawson (Rent, Sin City, Death Proof) reprising her role as Claire Temple (seen in Daredevil and Jessica Jones), Sonia Braga (Kiss of the Spider Woman, The Outlaw, Donas de Casa Desesperadas) as her mother, Soledad Temple; Frank Whaley (Pulp Fiction, Vacancy, Under the Dome) has been cast as Detective Scarfe and Simone Missick (The Road to Sundance, Black Card, Ray Donovan) as Misty Knight.

Luke Cage first made his appearance in the first season of Marvel’s Jessica Jones, a bartender who Jones is drawn towards due to her ties to the murder of his wife. During the series, Jessica and Luke strike up a relationship, and she comes to learn of his unbreakable skin and superhuman strength. Luke Cage will be exploring Luke’s story as a wrongly accused man who escapes prison. He’s a fugitive, trying to keep a low profile and rebuild his life. But soon, he’ll be forced to confront the past he’s tried to keep behind him.

Marvel intend to show preview footage from Luke Cage during their panel at SDCC, which many fans are excited for, especially since all we’ve had so far is the short (but oh so very sweet) trailer for the show.

At present, Jessica Jones leading lady Krysten Ritter isn’t due to make an appearance with the cast.

Luke Cage is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on September 30th 2016.
