Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Has Big Interactions Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a weak set, all told. As I went through the cards (and yes, I read every main-set card) I was only really impressed by the synergies, not the individual pieces. And while synergies are great for Magic, they don’t work well for a… Read More »
I have not forgotten this story since I read it (and I have not forgotten it has a sequel). Expect a review of that book sooner rather than later.

Cleopatra In Space Clearly Had Fans Rooting For It Cleopatra in Space is baffling on every level. Someone with deep pockets or a large group of people clearly loves this idea/story/concept so much that they have thrown an inordinate number of resources at it. The animation? Shockingly good. You can tell that the underlying technology… Read More »
[embedded content] Starfleet Academy Has A Clear Path For Its Stories I wonder if episodes of Starfleet Academy took Star Trek concepts and tried to find ways to make them fit into generic college/high school plots, or if the show started with those tropes and then figured out how to make them fit the world… Read More »
This series has its problems, but I still love the concept and the acting is top notch. It’s an amazing example of how to write a slow-burn tragedy.

[embedded content] Wonder Man Pulls Off A Risky Establishing Scene Never have I cringed so hard at the first moments (after a flashback) of a great show than Wonder Man. Though it establishes Simon as our main character effectively, it’s mostly focusing on his flaws, and they are brutal flaws for someone in his life… Read More »
Extraordinary Gets A Lot Out Of Its Tropey Premise Extraordinary is well-named. It indeed does go beyond what you would expect of a raunchy comedy, especially given the initial premise. I wouldn’t blame you if you’re tired of a show where everyone has superpowers, but I promise this one does use the concept for more… Read More »
Lorwyn Eclipsed Gives Us Cards New And Familiar I remember playing the original Lorwyn; it was one of the first sets I ever played. After so much time, it’s kind of surreal to return to the plane. Back then, I didn’t understand much when it came to strategy, deck construction, or even some of the… Read More »
I still, to this day, think about this series. The mystery does fall apart a lot in the later episodes (I’m not sure you could guess the killer if you tried) but the acting remains incredible.

[embedded content] The Gorge Wastes Several Amazing Horror Scenes The Gorge is one of the best cosmic horror movies I have ever seen—for the very short time that it actually allows itself to be one. The other (much bigger) part of the movie is a mess.Full of weird decisions, a baffling ending, and so much… Read More »
