"I Am the Night" Rewatch: "Second Chance" & "Harley's Holiday"

Batman The Animated Series

Oh man. It's been so long since I've done one of these. Maybe I'll get through them all in the next decade. Who knows? We will see. Luckily, I came back with two really good episodes. So, let's get right to it.

A Long Time Ago, In A Republic Far Far Away: Pre-Phantom Menace

Star Wars

The Skywalker Saga ended in 2019. Episode IX of the sequel trilogy, "The Rise of Skywalker," opened in December and closed out the series, for. better or for worse. We will get to that eventually. I have always been intrigued by the minutiae and ancillary material of the Star Wars universe and before Lucasfilm was bought out by Disney, I was very involved in the Expanded Universe or EU. It became super convoluted and the quality was dipping so I eventually lost interest. When Disney made the acquisition, they made the decision to reboot the EU and since "The Force Awakens" there has been a ton of new books and comic books fleshing out this new era. 

So, with the saga ending, I decided it was time to check out these new EU materials from the beginning of the timeline. I am sticking with books and comics/graphic novels. I'll include the novelizations of the films and treat them separately from the movies themselves. I'm also going to include the animated series that popped up. We've got a lot of material to cover so let's start with the stuff that covers the time prior to Episode I.

The Top 10 Albums of 2019

I love "best of" lists. It's a fact. I don't care if they are best of the year, decade, best of a certain genre, they are awesome. I love seeing if my opinions measure up with the professionals. I love music and I listen to a ton, so I thought, why not compile a list of my top ten albums of the year. 2019 may have been terrible for me personally but it was great for music. So, here we go.
