Superman: The Mechanical Monsters Review

Something that is hard to believe is that now technically Paramount Pictures owns DC Comics due to them of course buying Warner Bros. I only mention this because of the fact that the Superman cartoon from the nineteen forties were ironically distributed by Paramount Pictures with the character of Superman being popular still to this very day it made sense to a look back at one of the cartoons that not alot of people talk about and so then join me as I review the cartoon that sees Superman trying to defeat an army of giant robots with the cartoon in question being called simply just "The Mechanical Monsters" enjoy.

The plot of this cartoon is when a mad scientist starts using giant robots to rob banks it's up to Superman to stop him before its far two late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon was in all honesty really good. The cartoons plot was a simple but this is something that is to be expected as these cartoons didn't typically have alot of plot in them with them just having a very basic set up and that's and to be fair that's all it needed to have as nobody in the forties or even today for that matter goes into one of these cartoons expecting there to be this deep and thought provoking plot rather they just wanted something simple. With that being exactly what we got a simple plot that's very easy for people of all ages to follow and while it would have helped this cartoon if there was a little bit more meat to its plot as the plot of the cartoon does come of as being really thin it wasn't something that was needed in the long run as in the long run this cartoon works because of the fact that it was this short and simple plot with the cartoon still managing to get across alot of important things about the cartoons plot in it's short running as there no scene being wasted, with the only aspect about the plot that could either have been done better or not be in the cartoon at all was the fact that Lois gets kidnapped quite easily which just wasn't needed as Superman was already going to save the day anyway therefor plot wise it didn't make sense for her to get taken by one of the robots with the only way to fix this being if the robot kidnapped her first and then attacked the building where all the jewels are with the plot of this cartoon also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this cartoon is Bud Collyer as Clark Kent / Superman , Joan Alexander as Lois Lane and Tedd Pierce as Police Officer and The Inventor Of The Mechanical Monsters. Also starring in this cartoon is either George Lowther or Grant Richards as the Opening Narrator. For some unknown reason no body really knows just who it is that does the opening narration for these Superman cartoons which to be fair is kind of expected as it's not exactly a big role but at the same time tho there should have been some listing for who it is that is doing the narration as they did have the job of telling us the audience Superman's backstory in the first cartoon and in filling us in on who he is in quite literally every single Superman cartoon. With the fact that this cartoon does have such a small list of actors in it is something that really isn't all that surprising as heck even Warner Bros cartoon only had at most two maybe three actors in all of there cartoons and they all worked just fine with the same thing being true for this cartoon as well as there was no need to for this cartoon to have a large amount of actors in it as there aren't that many speaking characters in the cartoon and even then only three of them have big roles in the cartoon itself, therefor it would have have been odd for there to be alot of of speaking characters in this cartoon with the actors that the cartoon does have more then making up for the fact that there's not alot of speaking characters in the first place as they all do have voices that more then distract you from the fact that we are not hearing alot of people talking in the cartoon and heck it could even be seen as being a good skill as Tedd Pierce plays multiple roles in the cartoon and yet you wouldn't know it due to the fact that the characters that he plays do sound so radically different from each other.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon was in all honesty really good. The fact that we have some really good acting in tis cartoon is something that both is and isn't all that surprising as the acting in all of this series of cartoons was always really good and the fact that they managed to get both Bud Collyer whom along with Joan Alexander both of whom are reprising their roles from the The Adventures Of Superman radio show does make the acting in this cartoon alot mor better then what it really should have done as they have two people who know there characters inside out being asked to do them again only this time it's for animation and not for radio. With the best actor in this cartoon being Bud Collyer as he does manage to do something that no other actor playing Superman does and that's that he makes Clark Kent sound different from Superman this is a small thing yes but it's a small thing that helps to sell you on the fact that the people around Clark might not pick up on the fact that's Superman with his performance as both characters being truly wonderful to see in this cartoon with his own natural charm and charisma really shining through in this very cartoon. With the acting that's in this very cartoon really being helped by the fact that this cartoons script is just so good that all this cartoons actors have to do is just say the lines as they are are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the animation for this cartoon is the legends and the greats that were currently over at Fleischer Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon was in all honesty really good. The fact that this cartoon does have some really good looking animation in it is something that really isn't all that shocking as apart from Disney and Warner Bros Fleischer Studio was a big name in the forties in the world of animation with alot of the theatrical cartoons that they worked on be it either Betty Boop or Popeye having some really good animation in them and therefor it made sense that that is something that would be carried over not only to these Superman cartoons but this cartoon. There is alot of detail in all of the cartoons backgrounds which is something that the makers of this cartoon really didn't have to include as it would have been a nightmare to animate and yet they did it anyways with this making the world that these cartoons to take place in oddly enough feeling more lived in and real, even the fact that we get these hyper stylized close up shots of both Superman and the mad scientist these are both things that not only help to give these cartoons there own identity as your never going to confuse a shot from this cartoon with say an early Disney film or a Looney Tunes cartoon for example with even the cartoons characters having these hyper realistic movements to them that help to make the action in the cartoon leap of the screen.

When you think of cartoon you don't usually think of there being continuity errors as afterall how can there be any when the person animating it is there checking it all the time. Yet that is the one thing that this cartoon and it's such a glaring mistake that it's wonder how it got past the makers of this cartoon as when the robot is sent to get the jewels we can quite clearly see that its got a number five on it's back and yet when it enters the building with the jewels we see that it's got the number thirteen on it's front and on it's back and yet in another shot we see the number five show up on it's back again how was a mistake like this missed by all the people that this cartoon would have had to have gone threw as it is a mistake that does stand out. While you could argue that perhaps the mad scientist sent down two robots I checked he only sends out the one this is something that fair enough might not have been easy to fix as it would meant having to entirely animate the scene over again unlike today where you could just fix it with CGI and maybe that's how the mistake was left in the cartoon which is something that would be fair enough as these cartoons were very expensive to produce but at the same time tho it is a mistake that does stand out and while people in the forties might not have picked up on it due to the fact that the numbers on the robots don't show up for all that long it is something that once you see the mistake you really can't unsee as it does stand out a mile due to the fact that its the only robot that we see robbing people in the whole cartoon, this error is one is kind of rare for Fleischer Studios as they are usually really good with things like this and it is something that does make you wonder why Dave Fleischer the series director or the producer his father Max Fleischer didn't notice this mistake as both of them worked closely with the cartoon to notice any errors like this one.

The one thing that I felt didn't really work in this cartoon was again the fact that Lois got kidnapped far to easily in this cartoon. With it feeling like it was done so that Superman could have someone to rescue and while it made sense in the previous cartoon as she was in the way of danger at the time here she literally runs away from Clark while he's calls Perry to tell him what's going on and heads into danger on her own free will and it just doesn't work as this is a cartoon that really didn't need Lois in it as Superman would still have been at the building when the robot attacked and got the jewels and therefor would still have beaten up the bad guy and defeated all of his robots at the end with Lois not really adding anything to the cartoon itself. Heck you could cut Lois out of the cartoon entirely and nothing about the plot would need to be changed as she adds nothing to the plot and yet for one reason or another the makers of this cartoon thought that it would be a wise choice to have her in the cartoon and while yes you could very well make the argument that alot of the forties Superman comic books had Lois take part in the stories when she didn't need to be there and that would be a fair point to make but those stories weren't being told in a short amount of time to tell its story and didn't have plots that were told in one go whereas this cartoon does have both of those things and therefor a pointless character like Lois Lane in this cartoon wouldn't have been needed in the cartoon and heck nobody is going to a Superman cartoon to see Lois be forced into a story rather they want to see Superman do his things and while adding Lois to the story would have been a great way to make the attacks personal to Clark it also makes her look like a dumb character as she willingly climbs into the back the robot before it takes of back to its base.

The main villain of the cartoon an unnamed mad scientist type is a pretty decent villain as while he is underdeveloped as a villain. Given the cartoons running time this is understandable with him also clearly being a smart person as he's built not not only several giant robots but also a machine that he can use to control them all which is a good idea as it does mean that none of them are going to be going against him any time as he could very easily just switch them of if he so chose and while he isn't that creepy of a villain he does have more then a menacing look about him that you do end up still being afraid of him due to the fact that his design whilst yes it is that of a typical mustache twirling villain it is something that des work well enough for this cartoon. With the only thing that does let him down as a villain being the fact that we don't get to find out why he wants all of these jewels and money in the first place as he just steels them for no reason and while the cartoon might not have been able to fully develop him as a character as that would take up screen time from the cartoons plot they very easily could have added in a line or two about him wanting the money to fund either more robots or just because he wants to be the richest man in the world yes those are typical things but there better then what this cartoon gives us which is nothing with us only hating him because of the fact that one of his robots accidentally took Lois as well as a bunch of jewels ad that's really it as if you remove Lois from the cartoon we would have no reason whatsoever to hate this character as the cartoon doesn't give us a reason to hate him in the first place rather the makers of this cartoon just expect us to hate him due to the fact that he's going up against Superman and that's it.

Now then this cartoon has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly ten minuets and twenty three seconds. Which to be fair to this cartoon is pretty much the bogstandard running time for these Superman cartoon as alot of them did have very similar running times and while this cartoon doesn't really need that running time as the plot of the cartoon is that thin it is hard to picture just what it is that would need to be cut in order to make the running time shorter as every single scene in the cartoon is all about advancing the cartoons plot and in giving us some really good action and animation therefor this is a cartoon that while it could be shorter it would be difficult to make it shorter with the cartoon having more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time in the first place. However tho this cartoon still doesn't use its running time all that wisely as the cartoon doesn't take its time to fully develop its plot due to the fact that this cartoon doesn't really add anything like why Clark is there with these jewels we find out why Lois is there as she's there to get a woman's point of view on things but not why Clark is there and we don't get to find but why the scientist wants these jewels all of this money in the first place both of which are things that could have made the cartoons plot feel alot more well developed with the makers of this cartoon putting more thought and effort into getting Lois kidnapped then they did into giving the plot some much needed plot development. With this also being something that does effects the cartoons character development as due to how short the cartoon is they really can't fully develop any of the characters which is fair enough as none of the characters in any cartoon from around this time period got any kind of character development but it is still something that could have happend just with Clark telling Lois not to run of again with the makers of this cartoon putting more thought and effort into the cartoon action then they did the cartoons character development but I really will admit that this cartoon really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this is an action cartoon that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon was in all honesty really really good. The action in this cartoon really does leap of the screen due to how hard hitting the that the animation makes the things like punches and kicks look both of which are things that make the action in this cartoon really stand out as it would have been super easy for the makers of this cartoon to just phone it is and give us some really bland action and yet they don't do that rather instead they made the choice to go all out and it is something that does help the cartoon out in the long run. With the best action scene in the whole cartoon also technically being the cartoons only action scene as it's the attack on the villains base and while the attack on the base is where the action picks up thats not where it starts as it does technically start in Metropolis with Superman attacking the robot mid flight with the robot being forced to turn itself upside down to shake Superman of it's back causing him to line in some electrical wiring with Superman eventually getting free and attacking all of the robots at the same time at the villains mountain base and while there are times where it does look like Superman will get defeated he does of course save both the day and Lois and drops the villain of at prison with the whole scene being a really exciting scene to see as we get to see things like Superman beating up a bunch of robots before then using his cape to project both himself and Lois from some hot liquid with the rest of the cartoons action being really good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall this was a pretty good cartoon as it does give you everything that you'd want to see in a Superman cartoon but at the same time tho there are things in this cartoon that really could have been done alot more different all of which are things that would have made the cartoon alot more better in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very cartoon in this very review and as such that really does mean that his very cartoon really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images hat I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very cartoon that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very cartoon with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Rugrats: Tommy's First Birthday Review

When you think of iconic nineties kids TV shows you think of shows like Spongebob and to a lesser extent Power Rangers. Yet there is another iconic show from that same time period one that has spawned a few spin off shows , movies and a recently released terrible reboot and it's the first episode of that show that i'm going to be talking to you all about today and so then join me as I review the episode that introduced the world to some truly iconic babies with the episode in question being called simply just "Tommy's First Birthday" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is it's Tommy's first birthday and all his wants to do is eat some dog food but when some puppeteers don't show up things get out of control when his father and uncle are forced to perform the show themselves. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's a actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. This episodes plot while on the service it could be seen as being a nothing plot as all it is is Tommy wishing he could do something and then he does it there's a little bit more to it then that as we do get to see him struggle to get what he wants with the parents mistaking his crying from something else entirely. This is something that does add some charm to not only the episode as a whole but also the show as well as all throughout the show we do see the adults mistake things that the babies want for something else and it is something that does add an extra layer to this episode as planning a birthday party for anyone is always going to be a stressful time for anyone to have the plot of this episode revolve around that and all of the chaos that that does bring is something that does make the episodes plot feel oddly relevant just to be clear this doesn't make the episodes plot good as there are aspects of the plot that don't quite work but on the whole the episodes plot was a really good one with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Michael Bell as Drew Pickles and Boris Kropotkin and Cavanaugh as Chuckie Finster. Also starring in this episode is Melanie Chartoff as Didi Pickles and Minka Kropotkin , Cheryl Chase as Angelica Pickles , Elizabeth Daily as Tommy Pickles , David Doyle as Grandpa Lou Pickles , Phil Proctor as Howard DeVille , Jack Riley as Stu Pickles and Kath Soucie as Phil DeVille , Lil DeVille and Betty DeVille.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's a actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. To be frank this episodes acting was alot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights this episodes acting shouldn't have been that good and yet due to the fact that the episode does have some really good actors in it alot of whom are voice acting legends in there own right the acting in this episode does end up being alot more better ten the acting in alot of the first episodes of other TV shows. With the best actor in this episode being Elizabeth Daily as Tommy Pickles as she really does have the perfect voice for this character so much so that she is pretty much the only person to have every played the character with this episode proving why she is so good at playing Tommy as every single scene that she is in she just steals it and makes it her own with her even having some good chemistry with alot of the other actors in the episode something which really does make you wonder if the actors playing the babies recorded there lines together as you really do need to get the sense that they are friends and that's really not something that your going to get if the actors record there lines separately with Elizabeth really nailing Tommy's character right from the second that he starts talking with her natural charisma really shining through in this episode. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Wang Film Productions Company. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's a actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The episodes animation whilst it is really good in it's own right is also something that could have been alot more better with this mainly being due to the fact that the designs for the characters don't really allow for expressive movement and therefor it is hard to get emotion out of the characters without making them look really ugly. However tho there are times where the episode does pull of some really good looking animation like the fact that we get to see Drew arriving with Angelica with the whole scene being from the point of view of Angelica which is a really impressive scene to pull off and is something that could only be pulled of in animation with the episode even giving the characters some really good looking facial expressions when you pause the episode but again it's the character designs that while they do make the show more memorable as they give the show a unique look but it also feels like it's holding the animators back an stopping the episode from being as well as animated as it had the potential to be and while the things don't get much better with the reboot as these characters should only be done in 2D it is clear the makers of this episode couldn't work out how to make the character designs work in the realm of 2D animation.

The one word that can best be used to describe this episode it's childlike as that's what the whole episode feels like and it's something that does work. As it allows you to see things from a unique point of view that being the point of view of a baby and things that might seem odd to us as adults to them seems new and wonderful with even the fact that we see Anjelica say to Tommy that she gets first dibs on all of the toys is something that does feel like a child would say to another kid at a birthday party and it is something that does force you to remember that this show is being told from the point of view of a kid even seeing how the babies react when they find out she's coming to Tommy's birthday is somethings that does work as they know full well that she's not the kindest of people but can't say anything because there children. Even the main plot of the episode feels very childlike in nature as babies do like to eat weird things and seeing Tommy and his friends try to eat dog food is something that does play into that with it being something that does make it feel like that the makers of this episode really did do there research when it comes to babies and how they act to certain things as outside of when there alone and talking to each other the babies do feel like exactly that babies with them all having the attitudes and thoughts that you'd expect a baby to have only now we re hearing them say what there thinking instead of having to guess it and while yes this the fact that this episode is very child like could be seen as something that's holding the episode back as even the adults at the end start to act more like children given the fact that this is show that was made for kids this is something that could just ben seen as a fun thing to have in the episode.

Incase your wondering in this Tommy only wears his red shirt and his more iconic blue shirt with the only possible reason for this being the fact that this episode is about his birthday with his blue shirt being more for everyday things. This is something that not alot of people will pick up on as when they think of Tommy and of this show they'll always picture hi wearing his blue shirt and therefor it is something that will drive them crazy when they see this episode and see him in his red shirt there might a production reason for that like maybe the color of the shirt was confirmed until late in this episodes production which is something that would explain why he doesn't start wearing it until the next episode. Or of course there could very well be a story reason that was left out of the final episode either way it is fun to speculate what the actual reason for this might be as while it doesn't effect the episode at all Tommy's blue shirt is an iconic part of his character and the character oddly looks weird seeing him in his red one either way it would have been nice if the makers of this episode did give an in universe reason as to why he's wearing his red shirt even if it was something that added it retroactively, heck all of the characters are wearing the clothes that you usually think of when you think of those characters and there attending the party therefor while it still wouldn't make sense for Tommy to wear his blue shirt as that one could be seen as being used more for every day things with his red being used more for parties and other such things it is still something that would have an extra layer of realism if Didi saw his blue one but chose to put n the red one as it's day of birthday party.

This is a episode that you really can watch and get on two vastly different levels as when you first see it as a kid you get it from the point of the kids and what there going through in the episode. However then when you get older and you watch this same episode again you get from the point of the view of the adults and what there going through this is something that does make both the show and this episode have a universal appeal and generational appeal to it as your not going to say an episode of Spongebob on two different levels as that's not that kind of a show but this show with all it being done without having any crude or adult humor in this episode rather it just places both sets of a characters in a relatable situation and lets us see what happens. While yes the adult stuff is something that could have been much more better handled as there stuff is pretty much just the side plot of the episode this is something that does make alot of sense as the show is meant to be about the babies and not the adults therefor it does make sense for the adults to have the side plot as there showing us things as they really are whereas from the babies point of view we are seeing things as we want to see them, heck the episode does dive into the stress about organizing a party and even the stress of just feeding a now one year old baby these are things that little kids won't get but as they get older and more mature then it is something that they will start to pick up on with this episode handling those things beautifully as both Didi and Stew aren't being presented as clueless parents like they could have been rather they are presented as parents that are working this out as they go along much like how Tommy isn't being presented as being the smartest baby he's being presented as being just a normal baby who just wants what the typical baby wants and that's it.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and twenty two seconds. With this episode breaking away from what would become the norm for the show and telling one single story instead of two eleven minuet stories this is something that does work to this episode having to introduce not only the characters for the show but also the shows main setting and the general premise for the show itself and while yes it could very easily have done that in eleven minuets to do so what be to do a huge disservice to the characters and it wouldn't allot for alot of time for us the audience to decide on if we like the characters or not with the episodes having more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place. Yet even so this episode really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the episode really doesn't take the time that it could have done to fully develop its plot with the characters just spending more time about talking about dog food rather then exploring fun and creative ways about getting it which is something that whilst it wouldn't have added anything to the plot of the episode it would have made the episode alot more fun to watch but given the fact that this show is mostly a slice of life show one could also argue that having a fully developed plot wouldn't make sense for the show as a whole with the makers of this episode being more focused on giving us puppet show drama that they are in giving us a fully developed plot. Heck the same thing is also true for the episodes characters as none of them get any kind of character development which much like the plot could be down to the fact that this is a slice of life of show and people don't genuinely develop and change who they are in twenty three minuets however one could also argue that the characters get there development in both later episodes of the show and in any of the shows three movies with the makers of this of this show putting more thought and effort into making sure that we hate Anjelica then they did into giving any of the characters some character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's  actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. To be frank much like with episodes acting the comedy in this episode was alot more better then what it really had any right to be as this is an episode that by all rights shouldn't have been that funny as the set up for the episode doesn't really allow for there to be much comedic moments in it and yet somehow the makers of this episode did find a way to make this episode be really funny. With the best joke in the whole entire episode being when the babies do finally eat some of Spike's dog food they find that they don't like it and because they believe that eating the food will turn them into dogs they all start acting all like dogs which is just such a cute and funny moment in the episode with even all of the adults coming together to stop there arguing and just watch the kids be exactly that kids with that joke being one that adults will laugh out due to how childlike and innocent it is and the kids will laugh at it because it's people acting silly but in a smart way with it being the kind of joke that could only work if it was done well which it was here as it was something that was built up all throughout the episode with that joke even being able to remind us adults of what it really was like to be kids and just be silly as there's nothing wrong with that with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a decent first episode to a truly iconic show with it really being an episode that both old fans and even fans of the 2021 reboot will really like with the episode itself really more then holding all of these years later as it really is just that timeless of an episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Thomas And Friends TV Series "Thomas Goes Fishing" Review

Thomas And Friends right is in the middle of a big relaunch with a new special currently doing the rounds of both Netflix and Youtube. However it is still important to look back on when the show began and it's early years as nine times out of ten that you find a true gem of a story with the story that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today perhaps being one of those hidden gems from the shows first season and so then join me as I review the episode that sees Thomas going fishing with the episode is question being called simply just "Thomas Goes Fishing" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Thomas needs to take on water but can't due to the pump at a station being broken he and his crew find something unexpecting when they use water from the local river. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. This episodes plot was a pretty fun almost nothing plot as it doesn't advance Thomas as a character and is just there just to have some jokes in it and while this is something that does make the episodes plot feel like a filler plot. It's a filler plot that's done rather well as it does give the chance to show us some of Thomas's branchline and it does give us the chance to see how Thomas's crew have to sometimes improvise and while yes the plot of this episode is one that could have been a bit more better as it is a nothing plot and it is one that could have had a more stronger plot to it but given the fact that in the series canon are building up to the debut of Percy and those two episodes it does make sense that we would have a more lighter episode in the lead up to those two episode but again it still would have been nice if this episodes plot was alot more stronger as having the whole thing revolve around Thomas struggling to get some water isn't all that compelling of a story and is something that would have been better of being just a throwaway scene in another episode with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is Sir Ringo Starr with him really making for a really good narrator for this episode. As he does have alot of youthful energy for for this story and with it essentially being a solo story for Thomas this is something that does work well enough in the episodes favor as the episode can't relay on the other characters to make the story interesting and therefor Sir Ringo does have to sound perfect when he's voicing the character with this something that he does pull of with ease with you getting the feeling that this was a story that he either liked growing up as a kid or that he himself read it to his kids as he does sound full of life when he's reason this story as it wouldn't make sense for him to sound this full of life if he didn't have some sort of personal connection to the story. While Sir Ringo doesn't usually do any voices for this first series of the show this is something that does really work in this episode due to the fact that really only four characters talk and none of them have any distinct voices to them in the first place however this is something that does also cause an issue within the episode as if you close your eyes and just listen to the episode outside of a few scenes where the episode outright says who is talking you wouldn't be able to tell just who is talking to who and this is something that really isn't Ringo's fault as he isn't a trained actor and he never will be therefor to expect him to give all of the characters voices would have been a but to much of an ask as he was only hired in the first place due to the fact that he was at the time a very well known name and therefor having him sound as much as he normally does is something that does makes sense but it still would have been nice if we did get to hear more distinct voices in the episode tho.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. The fact that we have some really good acting in this episode is somethin that really isn't all that shocking as this show has always had some really good narrators in it and while of course the show would get better narrators the more it goes on there is no denying the fact that Sir Ringo Starr does make for a good narrator in this first series with him being really good in this episode as his voice does lend itself really well to telling this story. With the best actor in this episode of course being Sir Ringo Starr as he is the episodes only actor with him having the kind of silky smooth voice that is just right for this more relaxing story and it is something that is put to good use in this episode with him hitting all of the right notes performance wise and just overall being fun to listen to in this episode and while any of the shows UK narrators would have made for a good choice to do this episode what Sir Ringo brings to the episode from a performance point of view is a sense of childlike wonder as you do get the feeling he is just a big kid having fun reading this episode and it is something that does work for this episode with him having this natural charisma that really does sine through in this episode. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actor has to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of him naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

This episodes setting was something that did look really good as it's not all that often that we get to see alot of detail hidden in the shows sets. With us getting alot of fun little details going on in the background of the sets for this episode like for example we get workers working at a train station and we get to see people fishing in river these are small things yes but they also help to make the world of Sodor feel more alive as these are things that we would get to see in our everyday lives therefor it would make sense that we would get to see it in this episode and while later model seasons had dropped this aspect of the sets it is something that we get in alot of the first series episodes and it's something that should have been kept in alot of the show. In this show and in this episode it's the little things that help to make the biggest difference like showing that people are not only working but also on the train station it helps to make that station look busy and it tells us the audience that that is a popular station on Thomas's branchline or the fact that we et to see people fishing in the background this is something that it could be argued lets us know that this is where Thomas got the idea to try fishing out in the first place and it's something that is missing in alot of the later model seasons of the show with those sets making up for it by having alot of dynamic camera moves here tho the makers of this episode couldn't do that and therefor they instead chose to add in bit of detail that no one would notice upon a first or even second viewing but it's something that once you do notice them you can't unsee them as they feel right at home in the scene. 

Thomas in this episode felt kind of off in this episode as he is pretty much halfway between completing his series long arc with Gordon and learning to be more grown up and still being his cheeky self. Which is something that does lead to him feeling a little bit off in this episode as we get a scene with him calling James a stick in the mid or saying that engines don't go fishing and yet even this more childlike version of Thomas wouldn't want to go fishing as as he says in quite literally the next episode he like's his rails and therefor why would he want to do something that would require him to get away from his rails and be away from being able to move and yet when they do get the fish out him it's clear that he hasn't really learnt his lesson as he just repeats what James said earlier. To be fair this episode is one of the early episodes of the show as it's only the twelfth episode of the show and therefor the makers of this episode are of course still trying to work out just who there version of Thomas is and while they do have a helping hand in this regard due o the fact that all of the stories at this time were being adapted from the books there still would have to have been changes made inorder to make the story work for the show and part of those changes would have been how certain characters are handled therefor the makers of this show would still be trying to work out who there version of Thomas is and to be fair this is something that we do see in this episode as he acts neither fully childlike and nor does he act fully wise either when it would have helped the episode out a bit if we did start to get hints of him becoming more wiser, it is possible that this episodes script was one of the first written due to the fact that the episode doesn't portray Thomas as neither childlike or wise which if so then fair enough but there still could have been changes made when they found what the running order was going to be for the episodes in this first series.

This episode is very much a nothing episode but its really a nothing episode in all of the right ways possible. As even tho the episode doesn't advance Thomas's series long arc of learning to trust Gordon more this is something that would stop the episode from being alot of fun to watch as sometimes being more fun to watch is more important then advancing a characters plot as this is something that would have bogged the episode and it wouldn't have made sense for Gordon to be on Thomas's branchline in the first place therefor having the episode be a more fun episode is something that does work in the episode with it even allowing for there to be more jokes in the episode as the episode doesn't have to worry about character arcs it can just be a fun episode and that's it. This is something that is great as not every episode of this or any show needs to be about advancing a characters arc even more so if the show like this one is is aimed at little kids as sometimes just being a fun episode is more then enough to get people to like it and while yes this episode could be seen as being one of the more weaker series one episodes which is something that would be a fair point to make it could also be argued that the things that make it weak are also the things that make it alot of fun to watch and to a little kid being more fun to watch is more important then advancing a characters arc as that's what there going to remember the next day and this is something that this episode does have going for it as there are alot of fun aspects in this episode with the fact that the episode does go out of its way to tell us how many holes are in the bucket and then tell us how long it took them to fill Thomas's tank along with the episodes more lighthearted nature being things that do make this episode alot more fun to watch.

While it is hard to say on if this episode is a fan loved episode or not as there really isn't anything to this episode. The thigs that the episode does have it has going for it rather then working against it as it would have been super easy for the makers of this episode to just write this episode of as being a filler episode and not put that much thought and effort into it which they would have had every right to do and yet they didn't as you can tell in alot of the episode there is alot of thought and effort going into making this episode which you could very easily skip over and miss nothing important to the series and yet there is still alot more thought and effort put into this filler episode then what there really needed to be. Be from as was mentioned things going on in the background to real life train facts like Thomas's driver and fireman putting up danger signs around Thomas to warn not only other trains but also other people that Thomas is in series danger this is something that real life work crews would have to have done in order to make sure that there wasn't a major accident and it's something that the makers of this episode put into the episode yes granted they pretty much had to do it as they were adapting a story from the books but it's the fact that they did it in the first place that does show that this show does teach you things about how trains are run which is something that does make it more of a family show and less of a straight forward kid show as yes there are things in this show that only little kids will love but then as is the case with this episode there are things that the whole family will love and this is something does need to be taken into account when people say that this show is just for little kids because while yes they are the target demographic the whole show is for the whole family to watch together.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly five minuets and thirty two seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for alot of these early episodes to have and to be fair this is an episode that does work best within that time frame as the story is so weak and so small in the first place that to stretch this plot out to even ten minuets would be pushing the plot beyond breaking point as it would means that we would have to have alot of filler scenes in the episode which is something that would make the episode feel more like a chore to sit through as we'd be sitting through five minuets worth of filler content just to get to five minuets worth of plot with the episode really having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place. With the episode not really using it's running time all that wisely due to the fact that the episode really doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot granted there really isn't all that much plot there to develop in the first place but it still would have been nice if the episode did add things to the plot that help it feel more developed like showing or telling us why Thomas wants to go fishing in the first place which is a small thing but given that that's important to the episodes plot it would have been nice to find out why he wanted to go fishing in the first place with the makers of this episode being more focused about having the opening music in the episode play for a good while into the episode then they were about giving the plot for much needed plot development. The same thing is also trye for the episodes character development as one of the episodes character get character development which given that this show made for little kids is kind of understandable and you can always argue the at the characters would get there development in later episodes of the show but we still needed for there to be something in this episodes that makes the character feel alot more development with the makers of this episode putting more thought and effort into showing the human characters fishing then they did into giving the characters some character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The episode really does have alot of funny moments in it with them even bringing back the fact that The Fat Controller is to lazy to do things from the "The Sad Story Of Henry" episode with him here just telling Thomas's crew how to fish and not willing to help them with it himself. With the best joke in the whole entire episode even involving The Fat Controller as when we find out that Thomas's crew had cooked the fish and eaten the with Chips for there lunch we see him wiping his mouth clean with Sir Ringo adding in adding in an "Mmmm" making it sound like that he really enjoyed it which was a really cute joke to have with it being something that does catch you of guard with it working because of the fact that you didn't see it coming with the joke itself even making sense in the context of the episode as of course these characters would eat there fish with chips and of course The Fat Controller would openly admit to enjoying it as that is in his character to do so and heck this joke even got a little chuckle out of me when watching it as it is a joke that really does work with there not really being anything that could have been to make the joke be all the more better as it's one that does work as well as its ever going to with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall whilst it is hard to say if this episode is a fan favorite episode what can be said for sure is that it is a fun episode that whilst it doesn't have much in the way of a plot as the plot for this episode is pretty bare bones at best it more then makes up for that with its rally funny jokes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked abut all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and such that really es mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of q0 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . UK and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Scrubs "My First Time in a While" and "My Mentee" SPOILER FILLED Review

TV revivals are very hard to do as they have to attract new fans whilst also keeping the fans that the original show had in the first place. With one of the shows that got this right being the Scrubs revival from earlier this year so much so that people where happy when it got renewed for more episodes with the latest season not finally debuting and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the episodes that pretty much signal that a certain classic character might not make it out of this season alive and well with the episodes in question being called simply just "My First Time in a While" and "My Mentee" enjoy.

The plot of "My First Time Ever" is J.D. and friends have to come together to try and find out why the treatment for Dr. Cox isn't working and the plot of "My Mentee" is J.D. finds someone that he can mentor and Dr. Samantha "Sam" Tosh has to decide what her specialty is going to be. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the plots that are actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plots that are actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. Both of these episodes do have strong plots with the plot for "My Mentee" of course being the more goofier and lighthearted plot when compared to the plot of "My First Time Ever" which starts out goofy and light hearted but then gets more serious as the episode progresses. This is something that the original show did really well as the original show always fond a way to have serious moments happen in goofy plots and while here the plot for episode one gets more serious it did start out goofy and its something that does show you that if you have people that cared about the original show involved with the new version then you do end up getting gold, yet with the plot of episode this was a plot that you could imagine being the plot of a more lighthearted show and therefor paring it with the more serious first episode does make sense and while episodes 2's plot is a little bit more weaker then the plot of episode one it is still a good plot in it's own right with the plots of these episode being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these episodes is one of this shows executive producers Zach Braff as Dr. John "J.D." Dorian and one of this shows executive producers Donald Faison as Dr. Chris Turk. Also starring in these episodes one of this shows executive producers Sarah Chalke as Dr. Elliot Reid , Ava Bunn as Dr. Sam Tosh , John C. McGinley as Dr. Cox , Judy Reyes as Carla Espinosa , Christa Miller as Jordan Sullivan , Rachel Bilson as Charlie , Jacob Dudman as Dr. Asher Green , Layla Mohammadi as Dr. Amara Hadi , Amanda Morrow as Dr. Dashana Trainor , Robert Maschio as The Todd , Michael James Scott as Nurse Dubois , K Callan as Lillian Blue , J.P. Manoux as Dr. Meeko , Vanessa Bayer as Sibby Wilson , Joey Fatone as himself , John Higgins as Grant Summers , Daniel Thrasher as Dustin , Keyla Monterroso Mejia as Nurse Mimi , Vanessa Bayer as Sibby Wilson , Flavor Flav as Father Time and Tamera Mowry as Dr. Steffie.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the acting that are actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that are actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. The fact that we have some really good acting in both of these episode is something that is not all that shocking as even in the last season the acting in every single episode was really good and yet here it felt like that all of the actors just stepped up what was already a really impressive and heck Ava Bunn was so good last season that she's now been upped to a main actor in this season and yeah she knocks it out of the park in both of the episodes more comedic moments but also the more dramatic moments as well. Yet she is not the best actor in these two episodes as that honor goes to John C. McGinley as Dr. Cox as episode one of this season proved that he can still play this character really well something which he did prove last season as well with him even getting a heartbreaking scene in the first episode where it looks like Cox is about to cry and yet earlier on in the same scene he's there making jokes and making you laugh this is the true magic of him as an actor as like the show himself he does have you laughing one minuet and can have you in floods of tears the next with him still clearly loving playing this character as it is something that does show in the episodes with his natural charm and charisma really shining through in his performance. With the acting that's in these very episodes really being helped by the fact that the scripts for these episodes is just so good that all these episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in these very episodes.

As was to be expected with Ava Bunn becoming a main actor this season both of these episodes do have alot of spotlight on the interns. This is something that dies make alot of sense as now one of the main characters is an intern herself but at the same time tho none of the interns that we liked from the last season are given the spotlight in these two episodes with it just being Tosh that gets the spotlight and while this is fine as again she is a main character this season it still would have been nice if some of the others got some attention as what little we saw of any of them last season they all have the potential to carry an episode maybe if the show did what the previous show did and have an episode where someone else is the main character with J.D. passing the mantle of narrator to one of the lesser used interns. What little we get from the rest of them in these two episodes it does look like that nothing has changed for them as they all act exactly how they did in the last season which was fine for that season as then you had nostalgia on your side and the legacy characters could carry the show but there does need to be more thought put into the interns and giving them m0re screen time as at the end of the day they are the ones that will carry the show forward if the fans like them and the fact that the fan favorite Tosh is now one of the main characters does show you that the makers of this show are more then willing to listen to the fans and give the spotlight to someone who wasn't apart of the original show and heck she even gets some laugh out loud funny scenes in both of these episodes but the rest of the interns don't really get anything and feel more like set dressing when alot of them should be getting pushed to the forefront alongside the legacy characters and the legacy cameos.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first episode of this new season starts of something that I hope to god doesn't come true as it will be utterly heartbreaking if it does. That being the fact that they straight up hint at the fact that Dr. Cox is going to die by giving him this illness that the team are struggling to find a way to cure as his body just isn't responding to alot of the treatment and heck even in episode two there's a sequence where he gives alot of the characters some piece of advice to help them deal with there issues with the camera lingering on him just enough to make sure that we know that not everything is as it seems with him if this is the case and he is indeed going to die or be revealed to be dead at the end of the season then they have to him reunite with Brendan Fraser and if you've seen the original series you'll know why and if you haven't seen the original series then go and watch his episodes as they are heartbreaking to watch. It is something that would be fitting for both old and new fans alike as the old fans will get why Cox is now seeing Ben and the new fans will be left heartbroken because of what's going on on screen of course there is always a chance that he doesn't die and that he does get better but then if that was the case then why have him give the characters one last piece of advice and why have the camera linger on him and with this being Scrubs you know that there not going to have the character be OK or if they do it's going to be in the build up to having something tragic happen to them like maybe they reveal in episode 9 that he's OK only for him to take a turn for the worse at the end of that same episode and die during the tenth and final episode of the season with the last two episodes of the last season being very much focused on his character it would make sense for them to make Cox the focus of this seasons final two episodes if they are building up to his death.

To be frank here both of these first two episodes feel like the makers of this show are upping there game. As everything in both of these first two episodes feels like everything that they did in the first two episodes of the last season only now it's done better due to the fact that the makers of this show know what works and know how to make this version of the show this is something that does prove that people do still know how to make seasonal TV how do we know this because the first season of this show started and ended earlier this year there's no two or three year wait between seasons the makers of this show just got on with making with the show with the quality of the show not suffering if these two episodes are anything to go by. Yes there are some shows like for example House Of The Dragon or any effects heavy show that you can only make every few years but now we are getting comedies that are taking that long between seasons you shouldn't have to wait two or three years for a new season of a comedy show or a drama show as those by nature don't require alot of time to make and these two episodes are proof that you can still do a seasonal show and not have the quality suffer as there are scenes in both of these episodes that will have you crying one moment and then have you howling with laughter the next all because of the fact that they were made by people who not only know how to make shows every few months but how to put alot of thought and effort into each of them and how to make it so that you don't have to wait three years for the next season and yet we had to wait that long for the final season of Euphoria granted that was also due to it's main stars becoming house hold names but you still could have made that season a year after the second.

Out of the two episodes it does go without saying but the first episode is the more stronger episode due to the fact that it does have those more heartbreaking moments in it. This is not to say that "My Mentee" isn't a bad episode as its really not but when you compare the two episodes and watch them back to back the difference is night and day with even "My First Time In A While" bringing back another kind of legacy character that being J.D's scooter Sasha which was pretty fun whereas with episode whilst it is the more fun of the two episodes due to the fact that we get to see Ava Bunn being super fricking funny in that episode it is lacking alot of the meat that the first episode had with the second episode even making great use of Nurse Dubois by having him put on different voices just to get people to do what he wants which is a really clever idea and its one that could make for a really good running joke in this season if its done right. With episode one doing something that the original show might not have done and that's have Elliot openly and willingly tell Jordan off as Elliot does have a go at her for her stopping them doing there jobs and in turn stopping them from treating her husband Dr. Cox whilst Elliot was right for doing that as she was doing exactly that and this is something that Carla does point out to her Jordan in this case was also a scared patients wife and yes while Elliot was right for telling of her there was a time and a place and while this was the place it wasn't the time as neither person was in the right frame of mind as they both wanted the same thing and both of them were stressed out and the fact that Elliot does put a blanket over her at the end of the episode was a sweet moment between the two of them.

Now then episodes one and two of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and twenty nine seconds. Both of these episodes having the exact same running time is something that does make sense as both of the episodes have plots that don't really require alot of running time in order to tell there stories as they both tell stories that are very well contained within those twenty two minuets with every scene being about moving the plot forward with no scene in either episode feeling unneeded as while yes you do get scenes that are there to tell the fantasies of J.D. that's purely for comedic effects and with this being a comedy it does make sense that those scenes be in the episode with both episodes having more then enough plot there to really cover there respective running times. Heck both episodes even use there respective running times really wisely as they both do take the times to fully develop there respective plots as well as they could have done given there respective running times and while the opening scene with J.D. riding Sasha back to the hospital could have been trimmed to make way for more plot development it was still a good build up to a really good joke with both of the episodes putting alot of thought and effort into giving both episodes alot of plot development. The same thing is also true for the episodes character development as both episodes give alot of the characters a chance to grow and get character development be it something as simple as Tosh and Asher going public with there relationship or J.D. learning to give Grant a second chance as the person that he's going to mentor both of these are things that didn't need to be in there respective episodes and yet they were with the makers of this show giving alot of thought and effort into there respective characters character development but I really will admit that these episodes really do have some really good pacing to them tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's  actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. With both of the episodes having alot of laugh out loud funny moments in them all of which di feel true to either the characters are the tone and spirit of the show be it something simple like Dr. Dashana Trainor yelling hand to Amara whenever she's about to say something stupid with Amara always covering her mouth with her hand that is a really good and funny joke and is one that could very easily become a good running joke this season and heck the makers of the show could even have other characters say it to her just to keep it from being to stale. With the best joke in both of the episodes being when Elliot goes to Cox for some advice in episode 2 and he just says that he'll give it if he gets killed and when he doesn't get killed he just looks up at the sky asking why and when he give out more advice in the same scene he again looks up to the sky and asks if someone hates yes this is a dark joke given what might be coming but it is still a really funny joke and is one that Dr. Cox himself would make which is something that really does make it feel true to his character and while there is alot of really painfully funny jokes with Tosh in both episodes this one with Dr. Cox stood out due to the fact that it is a darkly funny joke and it is one that really does work with the rest of these episodes jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall not only is this season of a to a really good start but if these first two episodes are anything to go by then we are in for one hell of an emotional ride with episode one being the better of the two just due to the Dr. Cox stuff but episode two is the more funnier of the two episodes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. ow then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in both of these episodes in this very review and really does mean that episode one of this season earns itself a grand old score of a exactly a 7.5 out of 10 and episode two earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
