"Doctor Who: Powers of Ten" (OOC)

[ChasNicollette]

For reworkings of classic comic strips, I still still favor Garfield Minus Garfield for the pure existentialism (and the downward spiral of madness) of it all.

As much as I loved the strip as a girl, its current state of banality renders me utterly unable to enjoy it, even modified thusly.

The shark, she has been jumped.

I only check in once in a blue moon. Sadly, its not like he can really create new content, as such.

Speaking of which, which we weren't, but haha redirecting intent--

--you should Google "Hobbes and Bacon," if you haven't already.

 

[ChasNicollette]

Also...

Bah-hah.

The answer is probably "yes."

 

[ChasNicollette]

Hey, according to the page, its been 3 whole days!

I REMAIN DUBIOUS

...have they de-fridged Alex DeWitt yet?

If not, THAT COUNTS AS SOMETHING STUPID.

 

[ChasNicollette]

True, but thats purely a "maintaining stupidity" thing. We can't ever expect them to CORRECT past stupid.

I can and do. I'm a Time Lady. I have that right.

Have they un-canceled "Young Justice" yet?

THAT TOTALLY COUNTS

yes but wouldn't that fall more under a cartoon network stupid thing?

Just like them canceling the GL animated series

You know I love Green Lanterns, Vic.

Like, I actually loved Kyle Rayner.

But that series was boring as paint drying, I'm sorry, making room for "Beware the Batman" was one of the smart things DC's done of late.

Canceling "Young Justice" for warmed-up comedy leftovers from a series that already had a four season run, not so fucking much.

And CN is all part of Time-Warner, which is DC Entertainment's parent company. It's all the one thing, e pluribus unum.

 

[ChasNicollette]

I have to admit, I liked a couple episodes of that!
I also feel that they are doing something stupid every day they aren't working on a Wonder Woman movie.

Yes.

Yes, no progress on a well-thought-out, empowering Diana movie utterly equals "stupid today counter goes back to zero."

Which episodes did you like?

I am going to say ALL OF THEM but you need not feel pressured to embrace it so thoroughly.

 

[ChasNicollette]

I only watched the first few, but I liked all that I saw

That is a good response. THE OPENING TWO-PARTER WAS SO AWESOME I WATCHED IT FOUR TIMES

My response is that you should watch more!

yes and no.

the problem with WB, as compared to say paramount /viacom is that WB doesn't operate as one entity. This is coming straight from JMS the creator of B5. WB maybe be the parent company however they let the different "branches" run themselves and actually prefer to keep them seperate. This is why Smallville had issues getting permission to do Batman because all of the Batman rights were in the hands of the movie division. It's also the reason that although tv's Green Arrow has been politicing to be GA in the Justice League movie, he more than likely won't because of how WB does business. the Motion picture side doesn't like crossing paths with the tv side.

Paramount actually used to have full control of trek, but that changed and now Paramount only has control of the movie side, and CBS has the tv rights. Which is why we haven't seen a new Trek on tv even after the new movies, because those two sides are having a WB style fight with each other.

In that case, I take the blame for "YJ" off of DC's "stupid list."

That doesn't make it a lot shorter, though.

 

[ChasNicollette]

You could... blame Disney?

 

[ChasNicollette]

I don't think I've watched a single episode of that, to my sudden horror.

I need to go back and do that once I've caught up on "Ben 10."

 

[ChasNicollette]

You and me gotta work on your priorities, Little Miss

Though I did just grab Young Justice

I watched the animated movie when that came out!

That counts for something, right?

 

[ChasNicollette]

It does, it does.
The show is amazing, and it gets better each season. Story, sound, animation all working together. I actually like watching the DVD extras!

Also, the voice talents of Dee Bradley Baker!

He amazes me.

 

[ChasNicollette]

I honestly don't understand Disneys decision here

I think they might be trying to distance themselves from George Lucas' prequel universe? In which "Clone Wars" is one of the few bright spots.

 

[ChasNicollette]

I get that, but why not let them
Finish the story? Maybe a final movie or something?

Maybe they will.

That's what they did with "Transformers Prime."

AND IT WAS AMAZING

 

[ChasNicollette]

Have you watched any of "Prime?"

 

[ChasNicollette]

Yeah, a couple of tweens and a teen.

...you should probably watch more. When you're done with "YJ." I can wait.

It's not often that I gaze solemnly at the closing credits of a thing and murmur "thank you."

That's what I did to the credits of the closing movie.

THAT'S HOW GOOD THIS SHOW WAS

 

[ChasNicollette]

Peter Cullen as Optimus and Frank Welker as Megatron.

The originals.

And it's-- oh my God-- Arcee is so much more than just The Girl, and Bumblebee is--

Oh, you said "okay."

:: sheepish ::

 

[ChasNicollette]

Added to my Netflix queue

 

[ChasNicollette]

Likewise, lovely lady.

Likewise.

 

[ChasNicollette]

 

[ChasNicollette]

What should I watch first?

I'd say go with "Prime." You can watch the first two seasons on Netflix.

I'm not sure where "YJ" is readily legally available.

 

[ChasNicollette]

I also have the first season of YJ

Um.

Um.

Um.

Flip a coin? They're both awesome!
