Getting Up To Speed With The Flash, Gotham, King of the Nerds, And More!

The World Of Television The CW has a definite hit on its hands with The Flash.  Much like Arrow (which I seriously need to catch up on), it has taken a character that could have become either extremely excellent or terribly silly on the small screen and turned it into one of the most enjoyable newContinue reading “Getting Up To Speed With The Flash, Gotham, King of the Nerds, And More!”

February Can’t Get Here Fast Enough!

Lake Charles, LA I am soooooo ready to start hitting conventions this year.  Since I started going to conventions a few years ago, this has been the longest stretch between conventions for me (excepting the year-long wait I had between the now defunct ConDuLac I and ConDuLac II).  By this time, I’ve been to WizardContinue reading “February Can’t Get Here Fast Enough!”

A Balloony Surprise!

San Fransokyo Last weekend I took one of my children to see the film Big Hero 6.  In all honesty, I had no clue as to exactly what this film was about.  I wasn’t familiar with it at all.  Basically I went in blind. I also went in with very low expectations and prayed thatContinue reading “A Balloony Surprise!”

Wizard Wipeout????

In Dark Corners Of The ‘Verse For over thirty-eight years now I have been a geek, a nerd, the odd man out, and that shy kid that never drew much attention to himself.  While many kids were playing baseball or jumping rope, I was watching 3-2-1 Contact, Doctor Who, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, SuperContinue reading “Wizard Wipeout????”

Mid-Season Mayhem!

Atlanta, GA Last week I made a bold prediction as to which character would bite the dust for the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead.  I gave reasons as to why I believed that Carol, Beth, Rosita, or Tara would be saying their farewell to the show. After seeing last night’s episode, the inevitable happened. Continue reading “Mid-Season Mayhem!”

“Dead” On Predictions

Atlanta, GA I watched last night’s episode of The Walking Dead expecting two things:  1) A perfect set-up for an explosive mid-season finale and 2) Clues about who might not make it out alive.  After seeing the episode, I’ve come up with some predictions that may or may not be stone cold locks.  If theyContinue reading ““Dead” On Predictions”

Catching Up With My “X’s”

Lake Charles, LA Okay, okay.  Now before you read this blog, know that I am well aware that X-Men:  Days of Future Past has been out on DVD/Blu-ray/digital download for some time now AND that I’m probably not adding much to the whole X discussion that hasn’t already been mentioned, but please realize that IContinue reading “Catching Up With My “X’s””

A Trip Back In Time

Todd Mission, TX If you personally know me, you are well aware of the fact that I am a huge fan of the Texas Renaissance Festival.  It has been a part of my life for six years now, and I see no chance of it ever leaving my life at any time in the future. Continue reading “A Trip Back In Time”

Gotham Gets Better

Gotham City *****SPOILERS AHEAD***** If you haven’t watched the last couple of episodes of Gotham, stop reading……NOW! I’ve watched every episode of Gotham this year and I must admit that is has quickly become one of my favorite programs.  Alongside The Flash, Gotham is a rare program that I actually look forward to each week.  The lightheartedContinue reading “Gotham Gets Better”
