Our recent Power Rangers episodes haven’t really been the let’s-teach-the-kids-a-lessons sort. Well, that ends today. It seems that two of the Power Rangers need to learn a lesson about teamwork. Haven’t we done that one a few times already? Ah, but not in Chinese! This time Tommy and Jason need to stop competing with each other and learn to work together…in other words, Gung Ho!

Episode Title: Catwoman Goes to College
Original Airdate: February 22, 1967
Well, you know what they say, all good things must come to an end. No, not this series! We still have a third season on the horizon. However, our next story does represent an important moment in the history of this series…the last appearance of one its stars. Julie Newmar has played the role of Catwoman since the character debuted in season one. She was unable to make an appearance in the feature film that was released between seasons one and two (Lee Meriwether took over for that one) but otherwise it’s been all Newmar. Though Catwoman will be back in season three, Newmar won’t. So, let’s begin her Batman swan song with today’s episode, Catwoman goes to College. Continue reading Batman S:02 E:49
Episode Title: Blood Ties
Original Air Date: February 6th 2001
“Glory is evil. And powerful. And in no way prettier than me.” – Buffy
This week should have been another big moment for the series as Dawn finally discovers the truth about herself along with the rest of the Scoobies. Unfortunately for Dawn, Glory is closing in while the truth about her connection to Ben is also revealed.
With all this going on you’d expect this to be an action packed episode but what we get instead is a somewhat plodding experience in which more of the focus seems to be on the fact its Buffy’s Birthday despite the fact that the group have just learned that Glory is infact a god rather than the regular run of the mill demon that they assumed she was which of course poses all kinds of problems but hey what does that matter when there is a party to plan right?
Today’s episode of Wonder Woman is a Part II. In the 70’s, TV episodes that were “the exciting conclusion” often began with a recap of the previous week’s episode. You can read last week’s post, so I’m not going to do that, other than to say that Diana’s sister Drusilla (Debra Winger), aka Wonder Girl, has been captured by some Nazis and Diana doesn’t know where on earth she is. Let’s find out what happens in The Feminum Mystique Part 2. Continue reading Wonder Woman S:01 E:05
Episode Title: Life’s a Masquerade
Original Airdate: October 30, 1993
There have been all sorts of different versions of Frankenstein’s monster in the movies…from Boris Karloff to Robert DeNiro. Today, though we get Frankenstein meets the Power Rangers. Yep, old flat top himself shows up in Angel Grove to do some damage in today’s episode, Life’s a Masquerade. Continue reading Mighty Morphin Power Rangers S:01 E:25
Episode Title: Rolling Thunder Cannon Punch Originally Aired: March 17th 2017
The third episode of Iron fist is its most action packed episode to date, by far. I’ve decided that the episode titles may be meaningless, because there was no cannon or thunder or earth rattling punches in this episode. The episode does feature five different fights, the top three all involve Colleen, who finds herself taking on security guards, Danny and taking part in an illegal cage fight. I will try to research their origin for next week. There is also a heated legal battle brewing now that Jeri (J money) Hogarth who we last saw in Jessica Jones is on Danny’s side. The episode ends of a cliffhanger, which is a bit weird for episode 3 of 13 but it is still good enough to startle you if you didn’t expect it. Continue reading Iron Fist S:01 E:03
Episode Title: The Joker’s Epitaph
Original Airdate: February 16, 1967
When we last left Gotham, Robin was about to be pressed into a comic book…and none other than Bruce Wayne has his hand on the lever. It seems like Joker and his robot henchmen are about to be victorious. Let’s see what happens in part two of this story, The Joker’s Epitaph. Continue reading Batman S:02 E:48
Episode Title: Chapter 8
Originally Aired: March 29th 2017
Ever since they were created in the 1960’s the X-Men have been an allegory for civil rights. To try to help people understand and empathize with their neighbors who on the surface looked so different Marvel created a team of heroes that looked like the majority of America and their friends and family. This relationship finally made its presence known on tonight’s episode of Legion. Continue reading Legion S:01 E:02
Episode Title: Checkpoint
Original Air Date: January 23 2001
“Sunnydale’s got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.” – Glory
Continuing the upbeat mood of the previous episode “Triangle” this week Buffy and the Scoobies find themselves under the scrutiny of the Watchers Council who have returned to Sunnydale with information on Glory, only they won’t share this information until they have carried out a review of Buffy’s skills to see if she is able to handle it. Considering the fact that the last time the council were in Sunnydale in “Helpless” they pitted Buffy against a psychotic vampire without her Slayer powers, its easy to understand why she is less than thrilled by their reappearance let alone the fact that they might be the only ones capable to finding the information she needs to defeat Glory. Still it’s funny to think that Buffy has officially been free of the Council since way back in Season 3 and while they have been given the occasional passing mention its been assumed that they have just been back in England though doing what its still unclear. Of course this doesn’t stop them steam rolling into Sunnydale lead by Senior Watcher Quentin Travers as they quickly take over the Magic box and start making demands while scrutinising every aspect of Buffy’s life including the Scoobies.
Episode Title: The Feminum Mystique Part 1
Original Airdate: November 6, 1976
You know, they say everyone has to start somewhere. Once an actor or actress hits it big, it’s often fun to take a look at where they started. Tom Hanks appeared in a slasher movie called He Knows You’re Alone, George Clooney was in Return of the Killer Tomatoes, and Hilary Swank was The Next Karate Kid. But for Debra Winger, the road that would eventually lead to three Oscar nominations first made a stop here. Prepare for Debra Winger as Wonder Girl in this week’s episode, The Feminum Mystique Part 1. Continue reading Wonder Woman S:01 E:04
