I got caught up on The Gifted this weekend. I think I'm about done with that show. None of the characters are particularly interesting and the writing has gotten to cringe worthy levels of bad.

Gotham returns to Fox on January 3rd, and has been given two additional episodes for their finale.

Titans hasn't been horrible. Starfire looks horrible, but the actress can (just barely) pull it off to not completely ruin all viewing experiences. Robin is pretty horrible, though. I think Beast Boy has had like five minutes of screen time so can't really comment on him, Raven is pretty boring, and Hawk & Dove have just kind of been there (and the guy that plays Hawk thinks this show is the first superhero show where the characters don't have powers and it's better than Avengers Infinity War ... yeah.) but even with all that? Still not a horrible show to torrent.

Which really leads me to the next episode with Doom Patrol, which unlike most of the Titans actually look like their characters.

Doctor Who: Glad I'm not an Arachnophobe.

Legends: Only watched 3/4 of the episode, but was looking on my DVR and next week's is titled Dancing Queen and is in the 1970s. My mom loves ABBA and will be disappointed if it doesn't feature their music. (I just bought her the Mama Mia movie collection on Friday). I actually thought that it was this weeks episode, and told her over the weekend that she should watch it. Only to remember afterward that it was the Fairy Godmother this week. Oh, and Nate's dad is Biff... I think I knew that, he must have showed up in a previous episode? I think...



Next week's walking dead: Rick's end. And seems the episode is going to be all in his head. Maybe they'll write the whole series off as the random fan-theory of the whole thing being in comatose-Rick's mind. Then end the series.


Edit:

So, Orville wasn't cancelled. Season 2 starts December 30th... Surprised there. Thought for sure it was gone.


Flash: Why did Barry start moving backward when Nora was trying to kill him? I understood him slowing, and even stopping, to show Nora outpacing him. But... to go in reverse? He moved like half a football field backward. I must have missed something. Edit: So, google said Nora's speedforce power lets her reverse time when she runs really fast. Explained when she did the whole "save the world from the Comet" thing in the start of the season. I just forgot.

Also, Apple is going to have a hard time competing with the new Meta-phones.


Cicada's actor is Oz from American Pie. I had a friend back in college who looked like him (and was given the name as a nickname because of it), and I remember it every time I see the guy.

I missed the time reversing, too.

Ewan McGregor will join Margot Robbie in Birds of Prey, though rumors are the movie isn't really called that because ... reasons?

Putting Henry Cavill in a white wig does not make him Geralt.

What a freakin' cop out for Walking Dead, though I guess it should be obvious they'd never actually kill Rick. They're just using him to sell more shows. Judith was pretty cool though. She takes after her father. The Punisher.

If you somehow haven't seen it floating around the interwebs yet, there's a decent copy of the olde 1994 Fantastic Four movie that was never released.

Last night's South Park was actually pretty good. The return of "Super Cereal" Al Gore, and Global Warming Man-Bear-Pig. You didn't believe him about Man-Bear-Pig all those years ago. It was too Inconvenient, but now you want his help cause Man-Bear-Pig is real? I liked seeing the Al Gore character be a dick to the kids about the way he was treated.

Here's hoping they have cameos filmed for years to come.

I believe they said they had filmed a number of cameos in advance.

Plus, doesn't strike me as the type to be against CGIing himself into the movies posthumously.

Nah, he's not dead. He's just been in public for a really long time and if he stayed active people would start asking questions.

I met him once at a New York Comic Con when he was still doing book signings and appearances. I'm not going to pretend he said something super inspirational or I had any impact on him either, but the guy's personality was just so amazing that it felt like he cared on a personal level if that makes sense. I'm sure his responding "I did it for you" when I gushed about reading these books forever was repeated to pretty much everyone, but the man sold it well.

Thursday night there's going to be a vigil for him, and I'm going to try to sneak my way to it.

I'm not crying. You're crying.

So, that Detective Pikachu trailer came out. And I didn't watch it.

Then I saw Deadpool jokes online.

Then I watched it.

Then I found out I didn't even know that I wanted this movie to exist.




Edit:
Legends of Tomorrow:
The Internet has corrupted me, cause when Constantine said You two have turned yourself into irresistible <witch word> bait. All I could think was " ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) "

And my mom was disappointed that there were no ABBA songs last week.

Yeah, that was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be.

Trailer for season 5 of Gotham complete with 90s Tacticool Bane.

Yeah, but you're Marvel licensed by Fox. It's like if the Beatles were produced by Nickleback. It's music ... but it sucks.

Lego Movie II: The Second One trailer.


Apparently Bill Maher said something about Stan Lee that pissed off a lot of comic fanboys. Which, whatever. Getting mad at Maher for saying something is like getting pissed off at Howard Stern. It's his job and the only way anyone pays any attention to him.

Some time ago on Adult Swim there was a special aired. The Shivering Truth. A mix of creepy and gruesome stop-motion animation. I randomly caught it when it aired originally, and hit record. Watched it a couple times and it was very interesting.

Now it appears to be a full series being released. Time to gather round the youngin's and give them nightmares.




Also, the new group in Walking Dead. Whisperers has breathed some life into the dwindling series. Promising, but will it be more than just The Governor/Negan/Saviors in Walker Skins? I enjoyed the graveyard scene, and Jesus's death by Ninja Zombie Whisperer.

As you know, the show greatly deviates from the books so take this multiple layered spoiler with a grain of salt but they're more like the Wolves from a season or two ago. They do some damage but they're basically the subbosses until the next Governor/Negan/Saviors show up. You can really tell Kirkman ran out of ideas after the Prison. Someone, somewhere, said that it would be neater if the walkers really were evolving, and all I could think was "That's called Z Nation."

The big story seems to be that Venom made a lot of money, and the movie just wasn't that good. It's okay if you don't know what Venom is, and even then it's pretty much average. This is going to turn into a whole Fast & Furious and/or Transformers thing. Which, segging into Bumblebee, the trailer shows Soundwave, which is the first time I've been interested in a Transformers movie since the 80s.

I've been slowly catching up on a few of my back logged shows. Mick hasn't lost his touch in Legends. With his three breasted warrior princess fantasy, and the denial of writing by saying he was looking at ****... on a typewriter. Constantine needs to be more active, I think.

Edit:
I must not have been paying attention to Gifted well enough cause I didn't really see Polars's father being Magneto until she was handed the helmet token and they then spent the rest of the episode tip toeing around his name.

I don't think the show itself hinted at it. Meanwhile I spent the episode yelling at the TV to "JUST SAY MAGNETO" several times. In the books first she was his daughter, and then she wasn't, and now she is again, while Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver weren't, then they were, and now they aren't ... sometimes I hate comic book genealogy.

Daredevil got the axe from Netflix, joining Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Punisher is still in production so that'll probably still air, and Jessica Jones is supposed to be getting ready to so those two (or just Punisher) are it for the Marvel Netflix shows. Shame, really. Some were good, some weren't, but still rather have them than not.

Aquaman seems to be getting good buzz, but I just don't see it.

This morning was a Christmas episode of the new DuckTales. And the voice actress behind the original triplets (now 74 years old) played the voice of a character using the same voice she used then. A nice touch. And a strange but enjoyable "Sinatra"-esque cover of the opening theme.

They did something similar on Dragon Ball Super, when Vegeta was cloned so they used the original voice actor as the "evil Vegeta" and it was pretty great. DuckTales seems to be pretty good, but for the life of me I can't seem to catch it and have been watching it out of order.
