Living For The Future

April 2012

  • The latest episode starts off the multi-episode arc that involves the Autobots and Decepticons on a race to find the Iacon artifacts that are hidden in New York. This was the prologue where the humans play a major role to start off this whole thing and their purpose was served in the end. Ever since… Read more

  • The season premiere for the second season titled Invasion begins one minute after the 1st season finale and then we jump forward in time five years later where changes have taken place. Superboy and Miss Martian are still on the team, but they have broken up. Dick Grayson is now between 18-19 as he has… Read more

  • The latest episode introduces the Star Sapphire Corps, whose power rings derive from the emotion of love. They prey on the loves and heartbreaks of their victims and turn their loved ones into Star Sapphires, including Carol Ferris whom we see for the first time since the pilot episode. Carol now finds out that Hal… Read more

  • The Pit introduces a new Thundercat named Pumyra. In the original series, she’s a medic. In this reboot, she’s a feraled enslaved gladiator who has no love for Lion-O after accusing him of causing the Thunderians to be enslaved by Mumm-Ra. I wish they would show this in a flashback of how that happened instead… Read more

It was about the reunion of the original Voltron Force with their arch-enemy, Lotor, at the same time introducing the three… Read more

  • The first season of Voltron Force has finally ended and what an ending it was. Daniel becoming the Black Lion pilot and Voltron Force leader was the worst thing that could happen because he has displayed the most negative traits and none of the positives here. It was clear that Daniel wasn’t, isn’t, and will… Read more

  • I have to admit when I first heard the episode title, I thought it would be a nod to the Transformers Armada series (it’s been 10 years) involving Minicons, but there are no Minicons in this show. After last week’s recap episode through Agent Fowler’s viewpoint, we dive into the story where Bulkhead got himself… Read more

  • Finally after Cartoon Network’s dubious scheduling, the first season of Young Justice has ended. It picks up where Usual Suspects left off as it explains how Red Arrow came to be the mole and it revealed that he’s the Cadmus clone of the real Roy Harper, who is held in Cadmus missing his right arm.… Read more
