Thundercats Clean-up
To any who read this, please note that as of November 4, 2008 I have started to re-watch all the Thundercats episodes. My intent is to update all summaries, clean-up all the notes and trivia, and fix up the cast lists.
I have been getting many submissions since I became editor of this guide, with items that don't make sense. Much of that is due to the sorry state of repair that this guide is in. While I welcome your submissions while I go through the episodes (there are a ton at 130 after all), please note that I will try to keep the rejection / acceptance of everything consistent going forward.
I will be trying, where time permits, to write recaps as well. If you are willing to write a recap (it takes me roughly 1 hour, plus viewing time) then refer to the first episode's recap as what it should look like.

Digg thisA Long Time Coming
I have been gone a long time from the TV.com blog-o-sphere, but I have been around. I just lost my passion for writing here and I got very busy at work and home. Plus, people stopped being interested in me, so I stopped writing.
My Facebook account suffers a similar fate.
Coming to the site for the first time in two days I was shocked to find this "new" site in its place. Because I have not been paying attention it caught me off guard. After looking around, I find I am not alone.
To this new design I have written in many places the following:
"This looks like something Treehouse of Playhouse Disney would put out. I thought this was a site for people over the age of 4. Geez.
If this layout stays, I won't be."
I think this is all I have to say. This site looks well polished, but meant for children. Yikes.

In Chicago
I'm in Chicago for the first time in my memory. I don't count the time I went through there on my way West when I was a wee kid. I'm here on business, but I'm staying through the weekend for fun. So much to see and so little time to see it all. At least the first two days are on my company's dime.
This does mean that I will be without Internet connection as of Friday night, so sorry if you're looking for me, which you're not anyways. I'm taping Idol, so I'll have to wait a couple of days to see who's out next (Matt's gone
).I'm currently watching Smallville. I'm more than half way through the first season (no spoilers please) and really enjoying it more than I thought I would. As people previously noted (both online and offline) people start to drop off around seasons 3 and 4. I'll let you know how it goes, but that's months away if even this year.
One thing that sucks is retcons. I like to read trivia and notes about shows I watch when I'm catching up. However I had to stop reading them for this show. Some notes are giving away spoilers from future episodes, and in some cases giving away episodes from future seasons. That sucks. I've already heard about two minor characters that die. I think I know one of the major deaths too and that sucks.
Spoilers suck.
I have a hankering for re-watching Justice League/Justice League Unlimited. I was missing JL Season 5/JLU Season 3/JLU Volume 2 from my DVDrips collection. I got sick of waiting for the Internet to provide them with me, so I got myself copies of the DVD's (thank you library) and ripped them for myself.
I then realized that I have a few DCAU shows like this so a quick visit to my library's website and I have 5 DVD's lined up. Then once I get them I'll rip them for myself and be content.
For those wondering, this is legal use in Canada and I'm not talking about distributing the files, so it's not even against DMCA or whatever it's called.
Anyways, I have this hankering from just listing to the theme once or twice. There's just something powerful about it that makes me want to re-watch the whole DCAU in reality. If you don't know what makes up the DCAU then read up. Although I don't care about Zeta too much and I've not seen much of Static Shock.
Too much TV to watch right now even though I have just lost a new show.

Moving On
I'll mention only one thing about Canadian Idol, and then I'm moving on.
I heard a quote the other day from Greg. He said he was sad to leave, but because of the fan reaction (shock and anger to him leaving) he felt good about leaving. He intends on continuing on, just not with Idol. Expect to see more from Greg and his band in the future.
With that, I have decided I will continue to watch CI, but only because of Greg's acceptance not mine.
In other news, I'm still enjoying Painkiller Jane, although it has it's ups and downs. The majority of the stories are pretty good, assuming you can ignore the quality of the show.
I've still got 3 episodes to watch to be caught up, and only 5 episodes left to be aired.
I was very surprised that they killed off one of the main 5 characters in the twelfth episode. That was shocking and a little unnecessary. I thought it was amusing that people asked if that character died in the comic books. I haven't read them myself, and neither have the vast majority of PKJ viewers. However, a quick read on Wikipedia tells me that the TV series has a similar story to the comic book, only minus the neuro hunting.
My guess is that the dead character (and the other major characters) have nothing to do with the comic book series.
I've recently realized that I'm watching a lot more TV on my computer this summer. I'm watching more than I figured I would. At night I'm watching at least and hour at home and an hour at work. That's twice as much as I thought I would.
During the work day I watch 2 episodes of the original Twilight Zone. I'm part way through season 3, so that's working out well. And yes, I get my work done since I watch one while I have breakfast and the other at lunch.
Last year I had downloaded the first four seasons of Smallville, which I've heard much good about. Last night I finally decided to start these so I watched the pilot. It's hard to get used to some of the changes, but the production quality is pretty good.
My biggest issue with the show is that a 24 year-old is playing a 15 year-old Clark Kent. Heck, of the youth in the series, the actor playing Clark is the oldest one there - and that includes Lex who is beyond High School!
Yikes!

Canadian Idol is Dead
This to be an incomplete blog, on purpose. It is full of spoilers about Canadian Idol so if you don't know who was voted off, stop reading.
SPOILERS Abound
Tonight, it was revealed that the bottom 3 were Carly Rae, Brian and Greg. Even given the fact I don't like Carly Rae I can say that the best three performances of the previous night were those three.
In the end, Greg (my favourite and the best potential Idol winner this season) was voted off. Unless CTV announces (even if they have to lie) that the results were flipped by accident and say someone else is gone, I don't know if I can continue to watch this show.
Yes, me .. the CI fan on this site is ready to stop watching. I've have favourites lose before (e.g. Rex Goudie) and I've had people I did not like win (Melissa O'Neil and Kalen Porter). I've never before wanted to stop watching though.
With the combination of the best three tagged as "worst" and Greg being tossed, plus crappy performances by Matt and Jaydee, I just don't know.
I enjoy Jaydee's performances, but he's not Idol material. Matt needs to come back in a few years and he'll be awesome. Greg learned a lot between last year and this year and is ready for prime time.
I'll have to think about this and sleep on it. If I decide to stop watching I'll drop my editorship. If there's even a glimmer that I might still watch I'll hold on to the guide (once retired, always retired).
My only hope is that Greg signs a record deal ASAP and starts writing stuff, and once the Idol embargo is lifted he immediately releases an album. I'm sure it would sell better than any Idol record from the remaining Top 6.
Signing out before I explode .... 2C
