I can’t really say I watched Walker, Texas Ranger, since I really wasn’t a Chuck Norris fan. I mean, there were way better martial arts actors at the time — namely, my favorite, Mark Dacascos. Anyway! There was news a while ago that the show was being rebooted and I didn’t really think much of it. Until not too long ago. Following the end of Supernatural, Jared Padalecki was cast in the lead role for Walker, Texas Ranger.
Who knew that so long ago an unknown show starring two underwear models would go on for so many years that it’s now going on its 15th season, with a big and very loyal following — which I’m most definitely part of?
Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD panel at Comic-Con was bittersweet. It moved from Ballroom 20 to the much larger Hall H — but before the panel, it was announced that season seven would be the last. In triumph, they were ending the series on their terms; a rarity for television shows.
Admittedly, I wasn’t aware of another Star Trek television show in the works until Comic-Con this year. I learned that Sir Patrick Stewart — after all this time — is reprising his role as Jean-Luc Picard in the aptly titled, Star Trek: Picard. It takes place decades after Star Trek: The Next Generation.
One of the most memorable things about Battlestar Galactica was the music; it was very different than the music in other shows and even in film. It had an almost organic sound; not something you would expect in a sci-fi show. Yet, somehow, it beautifully fit.
I spent the last few days ill and other night, in a haze of sickness and medicine, I was feeling nostalgic and browsed YouTube. There was one cartoon that I haven’t thought about for years and I had a strong urge to watch it. I put on the opening to Muppet Babies and I was instantly submerged in my childhood. Somehow, I remembered the lyrics. I sang it a lot when I was four or five.
Growing up, I was a huge fan of actor and martial artist, Mark Dacascos. You could even say I idolized the man. I loved his fighting style in Drive – which if you haven’t seen, you really should. It has incredible fight scenes. Why am I bringing him up? (Pretending that you didn’t read the headline.) He has signed on to one of my favorite TV shows: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The show Gotham has grown with another new cast member that piqued my interest a lot. A lot. BD Wong has joined and he will portray Batman villain, Hugo Strange. Before I get into that – BD Wong. Of Jurassic Park. And more recently: Jurassic World. You know him. The ever-smug Doctor Henry Wu.
