Doctor Who and the End of Time (part one)
I’m still fighting a nasty cold but I wanted to write this while the viewing was still fresh in my mind. I apologize if my stream of consciousness gets muddy.
I had intended to review two regeneration stories from the Classic Doctor Who to show how difficult they [...]

Star Wars The Clone Wars Season One on DVD
Posted on November 6, 2009
Star Wars: The Clone Wars is kind of like Episode 2.5, taking place between Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Focusing on the massive outbreak of galaxy-wide war between the Separatists and the Federation, the series is one part adventure serial, one part war drama. This is because [...]

Star Wars Clone Wars Season 2: Episodes 1-3
Posted on October 31, 2009
I covered select episodes of the first season of the Star Wars The Clone Wars cartoon series here in my blog. In those reviews I noted that the episodes had grown in quality from week to week at an astounding pace. The main strength of the program’s first year, in my opinion, was the focus [...]

For those of you who missed out on the first season, Cartoon Network has been playing repeats to bring you up to speed in time for the upcoming premier of year two.

Enter the Ruthless Bounty Hunter Cad Bane
Posted on March 20, 2009
The official release for the star of tonight’s season finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars has arrived. The last few episodes have been really something, building in high quality animation and a gripping story. This series continues to remind me of DC war comics in the vein of Our Army at War as episodes [...]

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Trespass
Posted on January 30, 2009
The second string of episodes for Star Wars The Clone Wars has been hit and miss for me. While the animation has improved greatly, the story line involving Count Dooku (a character I ordinarily enjoy) ultimately fell flat. It is a good idea to vary plots, but returning the series’ direction to the war and [...]
