Episode Title: Just to get a Rep
Originally Aired: September 30th 2016

We are gathered here today at Mount Olivet Baptist Church in the heart of Harlem to mourn and celebrate the home-going of Henry “Pop” Hunter. A former criminal who got his nick name not from being a great father but from the sound his fists made when he would beat up someone. Stopping at former criminal would be a major disservice to a man that evolved and became much more than he used to be. He became a small business owner, a community leader and a savior to many young men and women who may have been claimed by gangs and violence without the safety of his shop. He became a man whose death could fill a room with criminals, their victims and the police who are trying to bring them down but they will forget all that for a while to join in remembrance of a great man.

Episode Title: Different Drum
Original Airdate: September 10, 1993

I’m sure everybody has those dreams that seem very real at the time, then you wake up and realize it was all just in your head. I remember having a dream like that when I was in high school. See, I was an awkward teenager who really really just wanted to have a girlfriend. One night I had a dream where I had a girlfriend. All I really remember about the dream is waking up and being really bummed that it was just a dream, and that the dream girl who actually saw fit to date me was deaf. In today’s episode of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, it is a deaf teen who ends up helping the Rangers save the day in Different Drum. Continue reading Mighty Morphin Power Rangers S:01 E:05

Batman S:02 E:28

Episode Title: The Bird’s Last Jest
Original Airdate: December 6, 1966

Well folks, sorry for keeping you in suspense for an extra week on our latest Batman cliffhanger. If you remember, it’s a doozy. Penguin has nabbed Chief O’Hara and has him locked in a trunk which he intends to drop into a pool. Batman and Robin are on the way, but Penguin’s men stand ready to shower the Dynamic Duo with bullets before shoving them in the drink as well. Oh, and did I mention the pool is electrified? Let’s find out what happens in The Bird’s Last Jest. Continue reading Batman S:02 E:28

Buffy The Vampire Slayer S:04 Ep:15

Episode Title: This Year’s Girl

Original Air Date: February 22, 2000

“It’s called a blaster, Will. A word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called “the orgasminator”, I’d be the first to try your basic button-press approach.” – Xander

So just when it looked like we had everything in place for this season with Adam now on the loose and figuring out his own master plan which you can pretty much guarantee won’t be anything good for Buffy and the Scoobies. However this week things are shook up by the return of rouge slayer Faith, who last time we saw her had been put in a coma by Buffy with the doctors holding out little hope that she’d come out of it. Well it seems you can’t keep a good (or should that be bad slayer?) slayer down as snapping out of her coma she wastes little time on plotting her revenge on Buffy.

Episode Title: The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be
Original Airdate: 10-23-16

Last night was rough, y’all. I went into the Season 7 premiere with a ho-hum attitude, and an hour later felt as though someone had ripped my soul in half. A bit dramatic? Sure, but this episode did not let up, and by the end I was physically and emotionally drained.

Fear the Walking Dead Season:02

I guess I forgot all about this Season 2 wrap-up as I’ve been planning for Halloween and had family visiting. But it’s also kind of a testament to the show itself how low it ranks on my to do list. Looking back over my previous posts for each episode I realize just how little impact this show has on me.

Luke Cage S:01 E:04

Episode Title: Step in the Arena
Originally Aired: September 30th 2016

The fourth episode of Luke Cage takes us back to the man’s origin and reveals multiple surprises about his past. The bulk of the show takes place in the past but it is juxtaposed to a situation that finds Luke and Connie in a tight spot just like Luke was while doing time at Seagate Prison. One of the biggest surprises is that Luke Cage is not his real name; he is actually Carl Lucas former police officer and member of the military.

lukecage-arena-crownNot only did this episode explore the backstory for Luke, as we know him it also hinted at his comic book origin as well. We got to see him in his original costume from when he debuted in 1972, and as Luke himself said, he looked like a damn fool. Don’t worry I won’t forget about the swear jar, I’m just a little light on cash right now. There are three bright spots to this episode make it entertaining even if it does drag a little at times.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer S:04 Ep:14

Episode Title: Goodbye Iowa

Original Air Date: February 15, 2000

“I’m going to the crime scene to see what I can find out. You guys research the polgara demon. I want to know where it is. When I find it, I’m going to make it pay for taking that kid’s life. I’ll make him die in ways he can’t even imagine. That probably would’ve sounded more commanding if I wasn’t wearing my yummy sushi pyjamas.” – Buffy

So with Buffy now back with the Scoobies after Professor Walsh attempted to have her killed, this week’s episode is largely about dealing with the fallout from those events, especially now that her Frankenstein creation “Adam” has awoken and escaped the lab after killing her at the end of the last episode.
