Avatar the Last Airbender
Netflix has come out with their live action Avatar the Last Airbender. Prior to it's release the creative team did a lot of talking that they probably should not have done as all they managed to accomplish was ignite a hatred for them among their built in audience. The 8 episode first season is going to attempt to cover the entire first book of the series. Now they might actually accomplish this as they seem to have gutted all the heart, character development and joy from the show. That said, in order for this show to make sense there are some non-negotiable points that they are going to have to hit. So while going through my first season rewatch of the animated series I am going to point out the fixed points that have to happen in the live action.

So how is this web series? Does it deserve your time? Let's find out.

Best of Buffy
We have been talking about Buffy the Vampire Slayer and taking it season by season discussing the best episodes, moments and structural parts of the show. We have already done the first two seasons and as such we are moving onto season 3 of my beloved Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We are talking about the best of Buffy. Season 3 does a lot in the way of writing and character development and story progression. Our big bad carries the nuance that season 2 brought to us. And we get a different kind of emotional pull from season 3 then we’ve previously experienced in the run of this show.

The Best of Buffy
Okay so we are going through every season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and pinpointing the best parts of it. By both picking out the best episodes and the best moments. Something Buffy is really good at is having a monster of the week format while also contributing to the overall big bad of the season. Season 2 is our first “full” season. Season one was much shorter due to it being a pilot season, this means it either premiered in the middle of a network’s normal season OR the network wouldn’t greenlight more episodes until they saw the ratings. Season 2 was its first renewal, thus we get a normal amount of episodes.

Best of Buffy
We are off to college! Buffy and the scooby gang have graduated and they are off to bigger and better things, well some of them are. As we are going through, the Best of Buffy season 4 will not rank on most people’s lists. It is often a very mocked season and I am here to change your mind about that. Because quite frankly I’d rather watch season 4 then season 5, but we will get into that. New places, new love interests and new big bads. Let’s get into Season 4 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Responding to Reception for My X-Men Article
On February 16, 2024, I published an article titled "X-Men Has Always Been 'Woke'" on Vocal. It addressed the controversy surrounding the portrayal of a non-binary character in a Disney show. The article highlights the X-Men's history of storytelling that tackles social justice and human rights issues, which has been a fundamental part of its identity since the 1960s. While the article received positive feedback from Marvel fans who appreciated the exploration of these themes, there were those who insisted that Disney shouldn't tell politically driven storylines, dismissing them as "woke."

Villainess Review: Erin Cole (The Rookie)
It's arrived; it's finally arrived. The dust has settled, the strikes are now a thing of the past, and many, many shows are back on TV. Among the shows returning to TV is The Rookie, as tonight begins the sixth season of the hit series. I love The Rookie. I've watched since Day One. It's an amazing show that gets better and better as it progresses. It was a Tuesday show for the first season, and the next four seasons would air on Sundays in that 10PM slot. It was perfect for me, because in the first half, The Rookie served as that show that I would enjoy after an amazing day of NFL action, while the second half saw the show as a calming outlet for this fan of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Succession and Class
I finally made time to watch Succession. The first season left me wondering what sort of fuss did the show made since I haven’t stumble on any review or analysis. Be that as it may, it feels good to step down from the online echo chambers once in a while. So I went through the search engines and, surprise me not, it was full of philosophical takes. Mostly from Antiquity to Early Modernity. Those informed essays made me think I was the crazy person on the bus. The most repeating claim was that Succession is so intriguing and beloved because it plays out with the Shakespearean grandeur of King Lear, Macbeth, and so forth.
