The recasts were a shame, especially after Teela being so signficant in Revelation, but once the show got going I didn't really find myself bothered. Duncan and Lyn were intact and that's the most important thing! Shatner was great (given the other new cast members Star Trek was clearly a very...

Caught up on all this Skybound nonsense. Void Rivals is aggressively Okay, but I really likethe first two issues of Transformers. I didn't realise we had a writer/artist on the book. I'm not thrilled about the whole 80s-G1-wake-up-on-Earth thing, but that sort of made me wonder what I DO want...

Stupid Legacy bollocks. I pretty much cold-turkied out of Transformers a couple of years ago. I was even able to resist new toys for Metalhawk, Knock Out, Strongarm, some of my favourite characters. But then I stumbled across "post-apocalyptic garbage truck" and the bounders got me. So fine, I...

I obviously fell behind on Origins news because suddenly the latest wave is out already in some stupid lucky countries, and I had no idea they were doing 200X in Origins. That's delightfully backwards.

My overpriced aftermarket King Grayskull arrived today, hooray. I also found some Baby Netflix "core" figures locally for the first time this week, and I was quite surprised about how nice they are in person. Obviously the articulation is limited but the sculpts and paint are pretty good. Is...

Well surely the bookies didn't have HIM on their list?! Very confident he can do a great job, though as always I would rather see someone older in the role. I'm well behind on Jodie's run, but I enjoyed what I've seen. It gave me a much stronger classic Who vibe than anything else the new...

It would be a stretch to say that I have ever really been even a casual Star Trek fan, but I enjoyed some of the Marvel books back in the 90s (probably? What is time?), particularly... uh... the one starring Pike. Haven't seen any of Discovery but gave this a shot Because Pike, and I really...

How did that guy ever get a job as a film critic? How is this movie less relatable to a random white guy than Encanto or Coco or Finding Nemo or Zootopia or... basically any movie?

Sure looks very PLAy. Hopefully the mechanics are very similar, because going from Arceus to a "classic style" Pokemon game would be torture.

Recasting when there are Old Dudes You Can Get is always a bummer, but I'm really glad there's a dub coming so my kids can watch the show. We had started watching the original Adventure dub a while back but it was one of the shows pulled when Funimation ate Animelab.

An internets told me that they decided he was worth the money. Allegedly after they tried to get Mark Hammill to play the role, and he said "bugger off and pay DiMaggio right". As did many other prominent voice actors, and the whole fanbase. Allegedly. But it seems like that SHOULD have...

The casting is really hard to swallow as a fan of the games, but I'm still keen to give it a crack when I get a chance.

BBTS is gettin' ready to ship my Masterverse Tri-Klops and Trap Jaw. Almost time for church.

Yeah, which seems likely and dreadful.

I had an outbreak with two shiny Skuntanks! Skunks love to shine I guess.
