Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD panel at Comic-Con was bittersweet. It moved from Ballroom 20 to the much larger Hall H — but before the panel, it was announced that season seven would be the last. In triumph, they were ending the series on their terms; a rarity for television shows.
Admittedly, I wasn’t aware of another Star Trek television show in the works until Comic-Con this year. I learned that Sir Patrick Stewart — after all this time — is reprising his role as Jean-Luc Picard in the aptly titled, Star Trek: Picard. It takes place decades after Star Trek: The Next Generation.
One of the most memorable things about Battlestar Galactica was the music; it was very different than the music in other shows and even in film. It had an almost organic sound; not something you would expect in a sci-fi show. Yet, somehow, it beautifully fit.
I spent the last few days ill and other night, in a haze of sickness and medicine, I was feeling nostalgic and browsed YouTube. There was one cartoon that I haven’t thought about for years and I had a strong urge to watch it. I put on the opening to Muppet Babies and I was instantly submerged in my childhood. Somehow, I remembered the lyrics. I sang it a lot when I was four or five.
Growing up, I was a huge fan of actor and martial artist, Mark Dacascos. You could even say I idolized the man. I loved his fighting style in Drive – which if you haven’t seen, you really should. It has incredible fight scenes. Why am I bringing him up? (Pretending that you didn’t read the headline.) He has signed on to one of my favorite TV shows: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The show Gotham has grown with another new cast member that piqued my interest a lot. A lot. BD Wong has joined and he will portray Batman villain, Hugo Strange. Before I get into that – BD Wong. Of Jurassic Park. And more recently: Jurassic World. You know him. The ever-smug Doctor Henry Wu.
The last season of Doctor Who is now far enough behind us that I can safely say that Peter Capaldi is my favorite Doctor.
Yes, I watch The Vampire Diaries. That is, until the past two seasons. I still watch. Just not on a regular basis. It wasn’t grabbing my attention like it used to. Things kept going back to the status quo. And now its star Nina Dobrev is leaving at the end of the current season.
