“One of Us, One of Them”

“One of Us” is a good step into a solid future.  While overall less “exciting” than the premiere it was far easier to digest and therefore easier to get into individual storylines.  That’s not to say that it was perfect, there were certainly some things I wasn’t a fan of, but overall it got me excited about the rest of the volume certainly.

Dragonlance Annotated Legends: Volume 3: Test of the Twins

by: Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman

This is it.  This is the culmination of everything Dragonlance…in short the best the saga has to offer.  I think it’s safe to say that this book has everything.  Redeeming not one but two souls, evil turning against itself, innocence jaded, heroes return, love lost, love culminated.  Frankly, this is one of my favorite stories of all time.

Fairy tales, witches, fallen stars and sex, oh my! I wish a star that hot could fall down by my town, it would certainly be better than most of the alternatives. Keeping with the hot theme, for a 40 year old chick Michelle Pfeiffer still has it going on. Well, at least she does in the middle of the movie, not at the beginning or the end when she’s all old and nasty. But hey, if that’s your thing that’s a-ok by me. Now, if only I could find some magical chain that would ensnare some beautiful lass, but I’ll settle for the flying boat if push comes to shove!

“The Second Coming” & “Butterfly Effect”

During the 2 hour/episode season premiere, there were plenty of moments where I said “Oh S&%T!” due to a surprise twist and the like. I found myself dragged along on a wild adventure meant to set us up for a thrilling volume. It worked well, especially upon viewing as it doesn’t let up much to let you think.

“Automatic For The People”

Many times it seems shows save one of their worst episodes of the season for #2. It could simply be that after they pull out all the stops in the premiere that anything else seems unfulfilling, but whatever the case, it’s usually anticlimactic and often times not much more than filler.

Season 1: Signs And Portents (1994)

Narns, Minbari, hot telepaths, it’s all you could ask for in a sci-fi show. Well, I didn’t ask for Ikarran War Machine’s, and hopefully neither did you? You would think that with a whole season’s worth of material I would be a tad bit more with the witty, but then you don’t know me.

Chrysalis

Cocoons for everyone, or as the high brow types call em, chrysalises. Getting shot in the back sucks, but there are worse things that someone can do to you from behind, like hit you in the head with a salmon! Oooh, I am so not funny, so not funny. The Shadows are here, and they are more transparent than shadowy, but it’s not a perfect world. All puns aside, this is a great episode, and of course my review is nowhere near as great, or even good, but it’s the effort that counts!

The Quality Of Mercy

All it takes to get into Ivanova’s pants is dinner and some flowers! I am so there! Franklin is B5’s answer to Captain James Tiberius Kirk, don’t you deny it. The man is a pimp in a world full of nutters, he is awesome. Speaking of Tiberius, I have every intention of attempting to name my first born son Tiberius. No doubt whatever woman agrees to marry me will shut this idea down, but a man can dream, can’t he? Also, never, ever make a Minbari mad or drunk.
