I’ve only seen bits and pieces of the sitcom featuring TV’s favorite nerds. First, a haiku:
Big Bang Theory Rules
Thursday Night Comedies, But
Greendale Forever!
No more mentioning Community from here on out. These geeks are far accomplished on paper than that study group ever has. The question: did I like The Big Bang Theory? Continue reading “My 1st Big Bang Theory Episode (S05E24)”
Korvac! Guardians of the Galaxy! Captain America Skrullifically unavailable! Why is Michael Korvac on Earth? Because he’s a dangerous fugitive. We don’t get to see much in Korvac’s motivations other than he’s a Big Space Villain. Ms. Van Dyne needs to get over Hank. Her next act of “compassion” will lead the Avengers to get sucked into a extra-dimensional vortex within 3 minutes from the start of the next episode.
HOWEVER, the Guardians do a have a raccoon and a living tree in their roster for our not-so-jolly green giant to fight. Anything to keep the kids happy, Hulk?
HUZZAH! Six more GLORIOUS episodes of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, The Avengers!! Volume two is rightfully dubbed “Captain America Reborn!”. In the eigth episode, ‘Some Assembly Required’, you see that the Avengers are lacking as a team. Something just isn’t right with it all. But they still manage to come together. And, with that said, episode nine (Living Legend) lays the groundwork for what will ultimately be a great team dynamic. Captain America returns!! in a somewhat “Ultimate”-style comeback (watch/read The Ultimates), Captain America tries to come to terms with the 21st Century and proves to be a great asset to the team. He also realizes that there are threats that are more familiar to him than most. With that in mind, Cap joins the team. :) Continue reading “Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! The Avengers; Season One, Volume Two”
The Marvel Universe presented in EMH in season two keeps expanding. In the fourth episode of season two, “Welcome to the Kree Empire,” we see Ms. Marvel & Mar-Vell in action. In the fifth episode, “To Steal an Ant-Man,” we get Luke Cage & Iron Fist but not most of the Avengers save Pym and the Wasp. Continue reading “Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes S02E04-05 Quick Review”
Leading up to the Avengers movie, we are going to be reviewing some of the current developments of work that deal with our favorite Marvel Super-Team. Today is no different. The first seven episodes of this new cartoon series are amazing. Each episode leads up to the assembling of the Avengers. You get an introduction to every character and even a few surprises in the form of cameos.

[Read reviews of episodes 4 & 5 AND read our reviews of the entire series! – Ed.]
I’m more eager to watch EMH than Ultimate Spider-Man. What I don’t get is why after three episodes are there four separate plot threads: Sue Richards of the Fantastic Four being a Skrull, Iron Man resisting registering the Avengers to S.H.I.E.L.D., and Captain America being a Skrull with Thor bringing Asgardian shenanigans back to Earth. The Fantastic Four’s issues should’ve been settled as a two-part season opener. There must be a satisfying payoff to having a fraction of the heroic roster Skrulling about.

I congratulate Shonda Rhimes, a woman of color, running a show that doesn’t use “Urban” tropes. However, Scandal is better off as a straightforward melodrama. Continue reading “Scandal S01E01 Review”

I had expectations that Ultimate would be decent even after being disappointed that the Powers That Be discontinued the great Spectacular Spider-Man. While Spectacular can never be the greatest superhero adaptation due to unfinished stories, Ultimate is threatening to be one of the worst. Continue reading “Ultimate Spider-Man Quick Review”
