Cleopatra in Space: A Show That Somehow Exists

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: Cleopatra in Space: A Show That Somehow Exists »

Starfleet Academy Brings SciFi Life To Old Tropes

[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: Starfleet Academy Brings SciFi Life To Old Tropes »

It Came From The Archvies! “Hello Tomorrow! Doesn’t Need Its Gimmick”

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.

Starts With An Intriguing Premise Hello Tomorrow! is perhaps one of the most unique sci-fi shows to come… Read More: It Came From The Archvies! “Hello Tomorrow! Doesn’t Need Its… »

Wonder Man: Excellently Acted

[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: Wonder Man: Excellently Acted »

Extraordinary: A Refreshingly Good Comedy

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: Extraordinary: A Refreshingly Good Comedy »

It Came From The Archives! “Paradise: One Of The Best Shows Around”

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.

The First Snow of Fraggle Rock Is Weird But Cute

[embedded content] The First Snow of Fraggle Rock Is For Series Fans The First Snow of Fraggle Rock is super cute, but it’s not what I hoped it would be. I assumed that this was an introduction to whatever Fraggle Rock is for people who have never seen it—which includes me. And while the opening… Read More: The First Snow of Fraggle Rock Is Weird But Cute »

The Sisters Grimm: An Adorable Fairy Tale Show

[embedded content] The Sisters Grimm Is A Strong Little Fantasy Series The Sisters Grimm is a charming little cartoon that basically succeeds at everything it’s trying to do and does so with a surprising level of detail and consideration. Like, you know this type of story—it’s just usually a story for older audiences. A person… Read More: The Sisters Grimm: An Adorable Fairy Tale Show »

WondLa And How To Make Sci-Fi Kids Shows

[embedded content] WondLa Understands Expostion Better Than Most WondLa is what a children’s television series should aspire to be. It’s kid-friendly but doesn’t disrespect its audience. It uses tropes but doesn’t fall into them completely. Despite having a very fleshed-out world to build, it doesn’t stop and shove exposition. At every point in the first… Read More: WondLa And How To Make Sci-Fi Kids Shows »

LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy – Pieces of the Past Is Fine Enough

[embedded content] Pieces of the Past Is Not As Much Fun As Expected The first issue I have with LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy—Pieces of the Past is that the title is pushing the limits of what I would expect from any piece of media, movie or otherwise. I’m going to call it Pieces… Read More: LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild The Galaxy – Pieces of the… »
