Wishful Casting A Star Trek TV Series Reboot

September 14, 2014July 3, 2015 Derek

With it being reported a while ago that Roberto Orci, one of the minds behind the JJ Abrams STAR TREK feature film reboot, had meetings with CBS to bring Trek back to television, it got me thinking about what type of show I’d like to see. Amidst all my thoughts about a Starfleet Academy show or a show about the shadowy Section 31 agents, I had the bright idea that maybe the new TV show should be a reboot of THE NEXT GENERATION. That way the movie and TV universes could remain separate but equal. And right after my idea of a TNG reboot I had the even brighter idea to do a wishful casting post where I cast the TNG roles myself. So click onward to boldly go where my little brain has decided to take me.

2014 Emmy Predictions & Ruminations

August 23, 2014 Derek

Monday brings us the second biggest awards show of the year when the 66th Primetime Emmys airs. And the biggest question I have is why is it airing on Monday? Isn’t Sunday the usual night for the Emmys? This stalwart awards show couldn’t possibly be running scared from the MTV Awards which is set to air on this Sunday could it? That would be a bigger flinch than SUPERMAN v BATMAN moving to a new date to avoid the third Captain America movie. Oh well, whatever the case it comes on Monday and is I have predictions and ruminations to share as the title of this post so clearly states.

Doctor Who Needs More Time Lords

August 17, 2014July 1, 2018 Derek

Actually the show needs more evil Time Lords to be exact. And I am not talking about an old mainstay evil Time Lord like The Master either. I like The Master and his arcs on nuWho have been really fun but it is time for some of the criminally ignored, old school evil Time Lords to get their moments in the sun on nuWho.

I Have A Feeling Mike Tyson Mysteries Is Going To Be My Favorite New Show

July 27, 2014 Derek

Yahweh bless the folks over at Adult Swim who had the foresight to put together this cartoon, in the classic Hanna-Barbera style, that features Mike Tyson, his adopted Korean daughter, a ghost and a drunken pigeon solving mysteries. Does that not sound like the greatest thing since the invention of the light bulb?

My Name is Derek And I Am A Hate-Watcher

July 6, 2014August 23, 2015 Derek

Admitting one has a problem is the first step to getting better, right? Anyway hate-watching is different from watching a show you hate because there is a part of you that wants to like the show despite all of its flaws. Hate-watching is also not like guilty pleasure watching because a guilty pleasure TV show is one that you love but are just ashamed to admit to enjoying. Nope, hate-watching is in its own special category and is horribly addictive.

Good, Bad & Ugly Review: Leaked Comic Book TV Show Pilots Edition

July 1, 2014June 29, 2016 Derek

Based on DC Comics characters, THE FLASH and CONSTANTINE TV shows are two of the more hotly anticipated shows set to debut this fall. So you can just imagine what a treat it was to the more geek oriented of us when the pilots for both shows leaked. Now I won’t go into detail about what nefarious means I used to get my grubby mitts on these two shows but get them I did and now I shall share my thoughts on them.
