  • The latest episode of the Legion of Superheroes, Child’s Play, is a fun episode, but not as whack as Mxyzpxlated from Superman: TAS or Mad Mod from Teen Titans. The child sorcerer’s name is Zyx, a play on Mxyzptlk’s name and he’s from the planet, Xerox. I wouldn’t be surprised if his people are descendants… Read more

  • In 1994, Star Trek: The Next Generation had ended a seven-year run and was thrusted into the big screen that very same year. That 1st Next Generation film was called Star Trek: Generations and it would feature something that many Star Trek fans, including myself, wanted for a long time – the team-up of Captain… Read more

  • I Have A High IQ!!!

    The last couple of days I took a couple of IQ tests and the results show that I am above average or have superior intelligence. Hah!! I guess I’m not a joe schmoe who was born yesterday. My IQ scores range from 105-115. This is part of the journey of self-discovery and I learn new… Read more

  • This weekend’s episodes focuses on the Legion of Superheroes holding auditions for new members. Out of the thousands that auditioned, only two were selected – Matter-Eater Lad and Star Boy. That shows you how tough it really is to get into an elite group like the Legion. However, the episode focuses mainly on the 5… Read more

  • This week TNA has their Monday Night special called "This is TNA" which comprised of matches from last year’s pay-per-views, Slammiversary and Bound For Glory. They mixed in actual live footage with feature film-like footage. However, the special drew in 1.2 that’s a little more than what Impact usually draws on Thursdays. Then on Thursday,… Read more

  • It seems the future of Smallville is up in the air for several reasons. Michael Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk plan to leave the show after the 7th Season and I would assume Tom Welling would leave as well because all three want to move on to other things like feature films. However, Rosenbaum may do… Read more

  • Based on the reports that I read about the Smallville producers’ appearance at a convention, I’ll post my statements in response to the information they gave about the future of Smallville:   -They can’t use Batman and Wonder Woman because of movie rights, but they may use other heroes. Because of the   success of… Read more

  • The producers of Smallville made a rare appearance at a comic book convention answering fan questions about Supergirl, Bizarro, Pete Ross, and other DC heroes, excluding Batman and Wonder Woman. The biggest disappointment coming out of this is that the series may NOT end with Clark wearing the suit. My concerns are justified and well-founded.… Read more

  • This weekend’s episode, Lightning Storm, focuses mainly on Lightning Lad, Bouncing Boy, and Triplicate Girl. All the characters have overdue spotlight, especially Bouncing Boy and Triplicate Girl, who would later get married in the future. But Lightning Lad is the main focus where he ditches the Legion of Superheroes for a superhuman group called, Light… Read more
