DVD Review: The Adventures of Merlin the Complete Second Season
Cometh with me if you want to liveth.
Season two of the BBC’s hit series Merlin surprised me. I wasn’t sure after the end of season one that the series would be able to maintain its momentum, or develop its characters deeply enough to make the show believable for any length of time. One of the things you have to love about BBC productions however is that they’re so obviously not Hollywood, everything seems so much more real in a BBC series, and Merlin is no exception. Perhaps it sounds strange to place a show based entirely on fantasy into the category of “more real”, but bear with me while I make my case.
DVD Review: Dark Skies: The Declassified Complete Series
History as we know it is a lie
Conspiracy and science fiction have been popular television themes since the invention of the cathode ray tube, and when the two mesh it’s often magic. In the middle of The Fugitive, V, X-Files, Lost, and Fringe are 1996’s Dark Skies.
DVD Review: Black Panther Motion Comic
We had iPads before you had televisions. What now, bitchez?
In 2005 Reginald Hudlin (House Party, House Party 2, House Party 3) and John Romita Jr. (Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, Invincible Iron Man, Kick-Ass) brought back Marvel’s first black hero into volume 3 of The Black Panther ongoing series. This is a great comic whose initial 6-issue arc was strong and lent itself to an animated miniseries perfectly, but really that’s not unique among great comics, right? What’s notable here is the how and why this particular comic arc got made into a miniseries.

DVD Review: Archer Season 1
Within the past decade or so, the amount of animated shows for mature audiences has been on the rise. Shows like Family Guy, Futurama, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Space Ghost: Coast to Coast have gained much popularity for pushing the envelope from what people are normally use to seeing and experiencing in animated tv series. It helps that Cartoon Network developed their own sub-channel, Adult Swim, dedicated entirely to such adult programming. Adam Reed who got his start working for Adult Swim and Williams Street creating and writing such shows as SeaLab 2021, Frisky Dingo and the aforementioned Space Ghost: Coast to Coast captured people’s attentions with his fast paced, Arrested Development style writing and brand of off-beat quirky humor and quickly gained himself a small cult following of fans for it. His newest show, Archer, continues in his previous shows footsteps and yet greatly surpasses all of them in numerous ways. Now you can own Archer Season 1 on DVD!
