Whatever Happened To…The Kids From Space Cases?

Does Anyone remember the 90s teen science fiction show SPACE CASES? I can’t be the only one who has fond memories of it can I? My memories are so fond that I found myself wondering whatever happened to the kids from the show. My online investigative work can be found after the jump.

This Animated Batman Short Is 3 Minutes Of Pure Perfection

Derek

Bruce Timm and Kevin Conroy reuniting to give us a look at an early version of Batman as he faces Hugo Strange and Solomon Grundy in atmospheric black-and-white? Amazing! If only it was a full length vid. Somebody at WB needs to put Timm in charge of the Cartoon Network because this is the type of programming they need to be producing.

I Have The Perfect Re-Cast For The Daario Naharis Re-Cast On Game of Thrones

Derek

daario
OK, I admit it has only been one episode of GAME OF THRONES and probably only a combined 5-6 minutes of air time for the new guy playing Daario Naharis but even that small sample size was more than enough for me to decide that I don’t like this re-cast at all.

I Am Assuming This Was Ozone’s Funeral

Derek
Don't fret...the real Ozone is alive and well and directing music videos in L.A.
Don’t fret…the real Ozone is alive and well and directing music videos in L.A.

Because there is really no other explanation for all of the poppin’ and lockin’ that went on during this funeral other than it being the proceedings for the star of the 1984 breakdancing epic BREAKIN’. Otherwise this would have just been a bunch of folks who thought it was a good idea to go all body rock to a Missy Elliott song in front of an occupied casket. Check out the jankiness after the jump!

Game of Thrones Season 4 Scene of the Week: Arya Crosses A Name Off Her List

Derek

Arya-Stark

“I see a darkness in you. And in that darkness, eyes starring back at me. Brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes. Eyes you will shut forever.”

Those were the words that “The Red Woman” spoke to Arya in their meeting last season and it looks like her darkly ominous reading is coming true because Arya got to scracth a name off of her revenge list in the season premier of GAME OF THRONE’s fourth season and she did it in a decidedly cold and calculated manner.
