A Long Time Ago, During the Clone Wars: "The Disappeared" Parts 1 & 2 & "The Lost Ones"

 Star Wars The Clone Wars

There are some wacky decisions made here. We get a couple of not great episodes and then we get one that answers some questions that have been asked since "Attack of the Clones." Let's get to it.

"I Am the Moon" Re-Watch: "Wiseman's Evil Hand: Chibi-Usa Disappears" & "The Dark Queen: Birth of Black Lady"

 Sailor Moon R

Just like with "Superman: The Animated Series," we are in the home stretch of "Sailor Moon R." And we are meeting a pretty famous character in today's post. So let's get to it.

"Last Son" Re-Watch: "In Brightest Day" & "Superman's Pal"

 Superman The Animated Series

Including the episodes in this post, we have six total until we wrap up "Superman: The Animated Series." These episodes continue to introduce more famous DC characters and things from the Superman mythos that they haven't yet touched on. Let's get to it.

"Big Shots" Re-Watch: "Cowboy Gospel" & "Venus Pop"

 Cowboy Bebop (2021)

It feels like the 2021 live action adaptation of "Cowboy Bebop" was doomed to fail from the start. First off, adaptations like this are not well-received by the fandom. These anime are beloved and most fans don't think that any live-action adaptation can live up to the original. This is a fair opinion since so many of them are garbage. The production of this series also had its share of issues. Series lead, John Cho, sustained a knee injury that pushed production back 8 months. Then, there was a pandemic. Honestly, they probably should have just scrapped it. But they didn't and because they didn't we are going to talk about the ten episodes that make up the first and only season of the live-action "Cowboy Bebop."

"The Truth Is Out There" Re-Watch: "Herrenvolk" & "Home"

 The X-Files

The fourth season of "The X-Files" premiered on October 4, 1996. The season found the show getting even more popular. It shifted from Fridays to Sundays, which was a huge deal. In the '90's, Sunday night was the big night on Fox. It was the night that "The Simpsons" and "Married... With Children" aired. These were some of the networks most popular shows and with the fourth season "The X-Files" officially joined them. It was also chosen as the program to air after Super Bowl XXXI.

The fourth season of "The X-Files" gave the two leads some meatier stuff to tackle. This is the season that introduced the Scully cancer storyline and it ended up winning Gillian Anderson an Emmy. The mythology episodes continued to be tight and the Monster of the Week episodes continued to be a mix of scary, funny and frustrating. Let's start things off with the resolution to the cliffhanger of season three and one of the most disturbing episodes in the shows history.

"We Used to Be Friends" Re-Watch: "Silence of the Lamb" & "Clash of the Tritons"

 Veronica Mars

We are at the midway point of this first season of "Veronica Mars" and things are heating up in the Lilly Kane investigation. Let's get to it.

"SuperDad" Superman & Lois Recaps: "Worlds War Bizarre" & "Waiting for Superman"

 Superman & Lois

We've reached the end of the second season of "Superman & Lois." I have to say that overall, I think I've enjoyed this second season even more than the first. I thought this was a really original take on the concept of Bizarro World and it made it much less silly. Let's get right to it.

"Hated and Feared" Re-Watch: "Proteus" Parts 1 & 2

 X-Men

We have another two parter and this one is an adaptation from the early run of Chris Claremont. How does the animated adaptation stack up to the comics? Let's get to it.

Re-Visiting the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

 "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" (2022)

Due to characters popping up it's easy to forget that it's not uncommon for long stretches of time to pass before installments of their solo films. Take a look at the first "Doctor Strange." It came out in 2016. You wouldn't think that because since then we've seen the Sorcerer Supreme pop up in "Thor: Ragnarok," "Avengers: Infinity War" & "Endgame" and "Spider-Man: No Way Home." And that doesn't include his animated appearances in "What If...?" 

Principal photography on "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" began in November 2020 but was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2021. It resumed in March 2021 and concluded in mid-April 2021. The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo, Benedict Wong as Wong, Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez, Michael Stuhlbarg as Nicodemus West and Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer. The film was written by Michael Waldron. It was directed by Sam Raimi. "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" premiered on May 6, 2022.

"One Girl in All the World" Re-Watch: "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date" & "The Pack"

 Buffy the Vampire Slayer

So, if you're looking to do a quick binge on season one, the first episode in this re-watch is required viewing. The second one... you could skip. But still read my recap. Let's get to it.

A Long Time Ago, During the Clone Wars: "An Old Friend," "The Rise of Clovis" & "Crisis at the Heart"

 Star Wars The Clone Wars

If you've missed Rush Clovis since he tried to poison Padmé, well you're in luck. And we get some more tension in the Padmé and Anakin's doomed marriage. Yay? Let's get to it.

"I Am the Moon" Re-Watch: "Journey to the Future: Battle in the Space-Time Corridor" & "The Shocking Future: Demande's Dark Ambition"

 Sailor Moon R

So, I think I've been spelling "Demande" two different ways since I've been writing about him. The blu-ray menus spell it "Dimande" but the Wiki spells it "Demande." So, I've officially decided to go with "Demande." Unless I forget. Let's get to it.
