Thundercats return with a new reimagined and rebooted series premiere that has an anime art style and epic quality to it, which the same was done for the 2002 Masters of the Universe series. The characters are younger and more accessible than the originals. It’s about Lion-O trying to impress his father, Klaudius, and his… Read more

After last week’s episode that focused on Lance and Daniel, this week’s episode focused on Allura, Vince, and to a lesser extene, Pidge. The core of this episode was Vince trying to prove himself to the team without using his powers, even if it means being disobedient, which is something Keith didn’t expect. It’s probably… Read more

I was fortunate in buying the Young Justice Season 1 Volume 1 DVD that contains only the first four episodes of the teenage superhero series, Young Justice. The pilot episode used in the DVD was the two-part version and this was mainly about the teenage sidekicks coming together, touring their new headquarters, and undergoing their… Read more

As of late, the last several episodes seem to focus on Arcee and Bulkhead. This latest one focuses on Arcee’s need to avenge the deaths of Tailgate and Cliffjumper. While she knows Arachnid killed Tailgate, she just learns that Starscream has killed Cliffjumper that goes all the way back to the pilot mini-series, Darkness Rising.… Read more

Flash Forms A Go is an episode where we see Lance’s dark side when his negative traits of insecurities, recklessness, and hotheadedness come to the fore and it overshadows his head when dealing with a Robeast that can convert from a probe to robot. This also causes the lions to form Voltron a lot faster… Read more

Rock Bottom continued the partnership of Arcee and Bulkhead from the last episode, Metal Attraction. These two episodes seemed to sum up of which characters to focus on – Arcee, Bulkhead, Jack, and Miko – for this first season. Megatron and Starscream are the only Decepticons to appear out of their side and we find… Read more

I have learned through the FAB Yahoo group that actor and coach, Bob Fraser, has passed away on July 13 on Wednesday. It’s likely due to melanoma that spread to his organs and bones. He has taught many actors and has sent out emails to millions of other actors that contains his tips in acting… Read more

The Lion Riders Return is a sequel to one of the episodes of the original series where the Voltron Force return to Ariel to defend the planet against Wade’s robots, who have been drilling underground. The Voltron Force bring the cadets along for a purpose thanks to Allura’s father. There in lies the split into… Read more

Metal Attraction continues some of the threads from the previous episode, CrissCross, in terms of Jack, his mother, Arcee, and Arachnid. Jack’s mother tries to fit in the secret Autobot club where it complicates things for Jack and Arcee. Miko, Raf, Ratchet, and Bulkhead are not used to Jack’s mother’s presence. The episode also has… Read more

The Hunkyard focuses on Hunk and his bonding with the cadets. We learn more about Hunk through his secret personalized junkyard. The episode addresses his lack of bonding with the cadets the way the rest of the Voltron Force have – Daniel mentored by Keith and Lance, Vince mentored by Pidge, and Larmina mentored by… Read more
