Star Wars: The Clone Wars

I'm finally catching up on Star Wars: The Clones Wars and damn, it's good. I was a little disappointed earlier in the season and a little of last season because they hadn't been having the great female driven episodes like earlier in the series.

By female driven episodes, I mean that they have had multiple episodes revolving around Ahsoka, Padme, Asajj Ventress, Savage Opress and even an episode all about...Sy Snootles.

Yes, THAT Sy Snootles, the singer of the Max Rebo Band. They were episodes that would even pass the Bechdel Test.

However, this plotline with Ahsoka kind of makes up for that because it's so good, so involving and twisted...Ahsoka working with Ventress!

By the end, I found myself rooting for Ahsoka to leave the Jedi order. Plus, if she leaves, then she won't be involved in Order 66 and she'll get to live. Then, I can believe that there was some carbonite or freezing accident which means that Ahsoka will be in her twenties in Episode 7.

Because how cool would live action Ahsoka be in Episode 7?

Not only does this series have some of the best use of females in Science-Fiction television and Children's television period, the writing is awesome and the voice cast?

The voice cast includes all the regulars like Dee Bradley Baker, Tom Kane, Jim Cummings, etc. but also Tim Curry, Simon Pegg, David Tennant, Seth Green, George Takei, James Marsters, Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and George Lucas.

It's Dave Filoni's baby. However, he actually incorporates fan suggestions and even made the 501st into canon. He also admitted once the series was a way of correcting the wrongs of the prequels.

Yes, the prequels could have been better, a LOT better but they made this series possible and for that, it was totally worth it.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Continued

Martin Freeman played Arthur Dent and plays John Watson, to begin with ... This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the story I am going to relate...

In the fourth book of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, there is a brilliant yet crazy man who is an expert on dolphins.

His name?

John Watson

By this time, Arthur has hooked up with a person who some consider slightly crazy and plays a stringed instrument.

Then, in the next book, Arthur gets a limp.

I found it amusing. (shrugs)

So, about Fenchurch, she specifically plays the cello. She suddenly disappears and it was so abrupt that I had to re-read because I was worried that she was in ship crash. She wasn't. *phew* However, since she does play the cello and believes in the extraordinary possibilities...I want a crossover where she's Phil's cellist. It would be awesome.

Then, the book reminded me how Trillian was an expert mathematician and astrophysicist before she went off on her travels which made me wonder about what would happen if she and Jane Foster met...

Except for that part where Trillian was going to go off with Thor until she was cock-blocked by Arthur...

Actually, Jane Foster was in the medical field until the first Thor film, so maybe cinematic Jane Foster and her intern, Darcy, are actually based off different facets of Trillian?

I only have sixty pages left and I really don't want it to end. While each book separately might not be impressive, the entire compendium is one of the best books I have ever read. The problem with finishing a book is that you have devoted so much more time and brainpower to a book than a film. They become your imaginary best friends and then...they're gone...

I know that Eoin Colfer has written a sixth book but the two times I tried...I couldn't get into his writing. I read one of those Artemis Fowl and it was boring. Then I tried a book read by Jack Davenport and couldn't finish it...and again, it was being read by JACK DAVENPORT! I listened to Tom Hollander reading A Clockwork Orange multiple times.

The thing about Douglas Adams is that he has the sarcasm and humor, but then in the next moment, he could either verge into satire or a deep insight into life or both.

"So what's the point of showing me something I can't see?"

"So that you understand that just because you see something, it doesn't mean to say it's there. And if you don't see something, it doesn't mean to say it's not there. It's only what your senses bring to your attention."

Much Ado about Nothing

I want to see this NOW!

This is the movie where Fred and Wesley get together with Phil Coulson's help, yes?

I'm kind of curious about the lacking of speaking Fillion and I wish there were more clips and less graphics...I guess they figure most people would think Shakespeare was stupid or something? Or the black and white element?

Either way, Joss definitely didn't do the trailer himself.

Kick Some Ass

I think this may be even more hilarious now than it was twelve years ago...

It's Jay and Silent Bob taking down some internet trolls.
