Star Trek: The Original Series : The Man Trap Review

Over the years i've reviewed a great a deal of the Star Trek movies some of which did feature the cast of The Original Series. However i've never actually sat down and watched an entire episode before now and well that box has very firmly been ticked as i've just watched what is my first ever episode of Star Trek: The Original Series and well i'm going to talk about it and so then join me as I review the episode that sees the Enterprise encounter a deadly shapeshifting alien with the episode in question being called simply just "The Man Trap" enjoy.

The plot of this episode the Enterprise orbits a planet where they are to perform a routine inspection on the planets only inhabitants only to find that one of them isn't quite who they seem to be. 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. To be frank to this episode it's plot isn't as bad as it really could have been as it was only the sixth episode to be shot and therefor the team where still finding there feet plot wise but it's also not one of the more better plots either as this episodes plot does come across as being quite dull and boring alot of the time with it's idea of a creature that can chance shape into one being something that isn't that fully baked. While there are a few bad things in this plot like the fact that they set up that this plant can detect who is a real person and who isn't but then they don't do anything with it or have it play a major role in the plot of the episode it's literally just in that one scene but in all fairness when this episodes plot does want to be good it is a really good plot with there being alot of thought and effort put into it with the episode being really well written by writer George Clayton Johnson who wrote episodes of The Twilight Zone amongst other things here turning his talents to science fiction with the result being a plot that was good for a first episode but could have been alot of more better 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 William Shatner as Captain Kirk , Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock and Jeanne Bal as Nancy Crater. Also starring in this episode is Alfred Ryder as Robert Crater , DeForest Kelley as Leonard McCoy , Grace Lee Whitney as Janice Rand , George Takei as Sulu , Nichelle Nichols as Uhura , Bruce Watson as Green , Michael Zaslow as Darnell , Vince Howard as Crewman , Francine Pyne as Nancy III , Budd Albright as Barnhart , Larry Anthony as Berkley , John Arndt as Sturgeon , William Blackburn as Hadley , Frank Da Vinci as Brent and Vinci , James Doohan as Montgomery Scott , Sandra Gimpel as M-113 Creature , Eddie Paskey as Leslie , Jeanne Malone as Yeoman and Ron Veto as Harrison.

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. While it is understandable as to why this episodes acting isn't that great as the episodes main actors are still getting us to there character and are still finding them it still does make you wonder if the makers of this episode had enough time and budget to do a second take as this episodes acting does feel like the acting that you would find in the just take of any scene but in all fairness the acting in this show from is something that has been mocked in the past and for good reason as it is over the top especially from alot of it's main actors. With the best actor in this episode being DeForest Kelley as Leonard McCoy as he does have to juggle alot of different emotions in this episode from being anxious about seeing a woman that he once dated again to the joy of seeing her again to the love that he still feels for her and the anger of when he is forced to kill her before she kills his friend Captain Kirk all of these things are done subtly all through the actors facial expressions and yet they are all things that help to make his performance in the episode be as good as it could have been as by all right this episodes acting should have been really flat and yet he managed to turn a good and subtle performance with him making a character that is usually seen as being grumpy and miserable quite human with this being something that really does shine through in his performance. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that the script is for this episode 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. 

Effects in classic television shows and movies can at times be really cheesy and while that is also true for this episodes effects as well there are some shot that do make you wonder how they pulled them off in the first place. As while it is easy to work out how they did the transporter effects as that's just animated lines added to the live action footage the episode does have alot of shots of the Enterprise and while yes alot of them are clearly just a model against a black background the episode will then have in camera moves or will have the model come into frame from far away both of which are things that would be hard to do with just a model therefor there does need to some level of animation added to the scene to make the effect work in the first place. Whilst it would have been super easy to do these kinds of effects today as you could very easily just do them in a computer in the sixties they would have had to have found unique and creative ways to make these effects work in the first place and whilst yes they might look cheesy by today's standards you have to to think back to how they would have looked back in those days and in those days having a model flying against a black background with a painted on planet in the background would have been seen as being really good and to be fair to this episode those old school classic effects do help to add a bit of charm to this episode as they help to make the episode feel alot less like a time capsule and alot more like a science fiction show as today every one and there grandmother knows what the transporter effect looking like as it's that well known, the effect itself is perhaps the most simplest of the effects in the episode as it is just handdrawn on lines over the live action footage and yet both that and the model effects in this episode do stand out due to how simple that they are.

Whilst the episode doesn't really have a good mystery to it as they out right show you who the monster is alot of the time. The episode does do a good job of building up tension with it being done by doing the most simplest of this things just by having the monster in it's human be around people who might find out that one of them isn't who they say they are and that is a good idea as it does mean that at any minuet the monster could either kill another crew member or be found out with the best example of this being the meeting that Kirk has with several of the crew including the monster now being disguised as Leonard with the tension being built just by having the camera cut to between the two characters and showing there reactions to what the other is saying. It truly is masterful storytelling as so much is getting across in such a short amount of time and yet it all works with the only thing that could have made be even more better being if we never saw the monster transform into Leonard in the first place as while that is a great to get across the fact that a main character is in danger the episode does have a similar scene later on in the episode where we find out that the monster tried and failed to kill Spock therefor there was no need to show Leonard being attacked and if we never saw that then it would make the meeting scene all the more suspenseful as now we the audience would have no idea that the monster was even there in the first place. This is something that could also be applied to the rest of the episode as it would have been more effective to hid the monster transforming into different people until the last possible minuet just as a way to built up tension as they we could have had crew members arguing with each other all trying to out who is the real person and who isn't with this adding some sort of replay value to the episode.

As was mentioned this was the first episode of the show to be broadcast but it's not the shows actual pilot episode as there were two other pilots made before this episode was even written. With "The Cage" and a pilot version of the episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" being made before this episode and while both episodes would actually air in the first season of this show with "The Cage" being tuned into the two part episode "The Menagerie" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before" airing as the third episode it doesn't change the fact that either episode was made before this one altho to be fair this was the first episode to air officially thus making it an unofficial pilot episode but in saying this tho it actually doesn't do any of the things that the other pilot episodes tend to do. As we never see the Enterprise launch on it's five year mission and we never see the main characters meeting for the first time as all of that is done off screen with the episode being more focused on telling its own story and the episode is all the more better of because of it as given just much that this episode has to do in the first place to tell the origin stories of not only the main characters but also why they are in this five year mission in the first place would be overkill for any episode and therefor getting rid of all of that and just focusing in this plot does serve to make the episode alot more watchable not only to returning viewers who are seeing this episode for the one hundredth time but also for people who are seeing this episode for the first time as there are is no heavy lore dumb in this episode its just the main plot and that's it with this being something that does make the episode more welcoming to new time fans of the show when it would have been super easy for the makers of this show to have a big lore dumb right at the start of the episode it does show that they knew that doing that might put people of watching episode two of the show and therefor chose not to do in the first place.

The creature in this episode which actually doesn't have a name does have a really creepy look to it with it's body basically being like sasquatch with it having an oval shaped mouth and fangs for teeth. Which is a really creepy look as it does make the alien look like it comes from another world with the make up effects on the creature looking like they belong in a feature film as they do look really impressive with them holding up even all of these decades later with the only thing that does let the monster down being the fact that we don't get to see that much of it in it's monster form as alot of the time it is just copying other characters which is understandable but if the creature looks this good then why not show it off as much as you can. Even it's goal to steal the sugar from every human body being something that does work as it is a unique idea and it does make the creature stand out all of the more because of it so much so that one could argue that the villain in the series three premiere of Doctor Who straight up copies this episodes villain only replace sugar with blood, there is mainly one thing about the villain that never gets explained and that's why it decided to take the form of Nancy in the first place as it could have taken the place of any other person once it gained Roberts trust but it kept on coming back for his sugar cubes as his dead wife who he knew was dead as she saw the monster kill her in the first place this is something that really should have been explained as it does make the villain seem more sympathetic in it's own way and yet by not doing that t makes a creature who we are told is the last of it's kind seem like a true monster with the Enterprise crew coming across as being heartless for ending an entire species when they could have given it and Robert more sugar and left them both on the planet happy with each other and yet they didn't for some odd reason.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty minuets and twenty eight seconds. Which to be fair to this episode is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show to have in the first place and the episode it self really does need that amount of running time as it does have to et up all of the characters as well as the plot of the episode and the world that the show takes part in and it t that in anything under forty minuets would mean that something would fall threw the cracks and the episode itself might end up being all the more worse because of it and yet due to the fact that this episode is as long as it is does mean that the episode can be as good as it was ever going to be with the episode even having the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. Yet despite this the episode still doesn't use its running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot as the episode doesn't really give us anything that add things to the plot of the episode with this being something that does make this episode plot feel really underbaked and it's ideas whilst they are good just ideas and not something that's fully formed as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot with the makers of this episode being more focused on showing us the creature transforming into different crew members then they are in giving us a well developed plot. With the episode understandably not really giving any of its characters any kind of character development this is something that does make sense for this episode as it was the first episode to be broadcast but this is also that is true for all of the episodes guest characters as well as none of them are given any form of character development when they really should have done with the makers of this episode being more focused on showing us Leonard sleeping ten it is in giving its characters some actual 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 an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us inn this very episode 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 episode was in all honesty really good. While the episodes action doesn't really hold up today as there's nothing fancy to it as it's just a group of people trying to fight over a gun it's how they pull it off that makes the episodes action work as yes it is quite cheaply done but due to the fact that the makers of this episode did give us scenes that make you care for all of the characters involved you do end up caring for all of the characters the monster included in the action in this episode. With the episodes best action scene being when The Monster tries to attack Kirk as both he and Spock bed for Leonard to use the phaser to kill it but he wont' due to the fact that he sees the love of his life with Spock even getting thrown around the room like a ragdoll and even slapping the monster in it's human form to try and get it to turn into it's monster form with it only being when Kirk is near death that Leonard then fires the phaser twice with the second shot being the killing blow, this was a masterfully done as while there wasn't alot to it interms of action it did do a good job of telling a story of Leonard coming to grips with the fact that his beloved Nancy is no longer with us and the thing that has been parading as her is a monster that has been killing people with the rest of the episodes action being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall as far as first episodes go this isn't the best one as An Unearthly Child has this episode beat by a long shot but at the same time this was still a really good episode that whilst it does have it's fair share of problems as all first episodes do does do a really good job of showing us just how good that Star trek could be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad that things that are in this very episode in this very review and a 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 his 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.

Paddington 1976 Tv Series "Do-It-Yourself" Review

Paddington is a character that really does need no introduction and yet due to the fact that not alot of people know of his animated series. Alot of people just assume that his piece of media was the 2014 film with the episode that i'm going to be talking to you all about today being a good example of just how good hearted and well meaning that Paddington is as a character something does stand out about him and helped to make him a charming character in his own right and so then join me as I review the episode that sees Mr. Curry foolishly let Paddington try to make a magazine rack with the episode in question being called simply just "Do-It-Yourself" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after a reading a magazine article about how to build a magazine rack Paddington decides to have a go himself even offering to make one for Mr. Curry. 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. The episodes plot is best described in one word and that word is simple as that's exactly what it is in all of the best ways possible it's a simple plot that has a short premise that allows you to fully enjoy the character of Paddington just getting himself into trouble. Not all plots of any show regardless of whom they are made for need to be dark and complex in order for them to work as sometimes all you need to have is just a sweet ad simple premise and that's exactly what we got in this episode a plot that is very easy to follow along with and that doesn't require you to think that much about it as part of what makes the plot for this episode work is Paddington himself as here he is allowed to be his usual charming and just be fun and that is something that wouldn't be able to happen if the plot to this episode was dark and complex as the episode would need to cut out alot of what makes this plot work to make it complex in the first place and whilst yes granted this episodes plot could have been helped if it was in a longer episode but for this show and for this episode it works just fine 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 of Sir Michael Hordern who is just so likable in this episode as he is in all of other episodes of this show. With him bringing his own unique charm to the show and given the fact that I've seen alot of the episodes both for the purposes of reviewing them and for my own genuine entertainment as the show is just that I good I feel safe in saying that he was the right person for the role of the narrator much like how Sir Ringo Starr was at that time the right person to bring Thomas And Friends to life as Sir Michael does have a really calming almost relaxing voice which is something that does make him right for this show as this is a show that is meant to be more relaxing in nature think of something like Camberwick Green but with a bear. As the leading character and you get the tone of the show, therefor you do need a voice that does reflect that more calming nature heck with even the fact that he does put on some small voices for the characters is something that does help to make the characters stand out as with Mrs. Bird there is a small Scottish accent and with Mr. Curry he always sounds like he's one bad day from having a complete and total breakdown with this being something that is perfect for that character as Mr. Curry is meant to be this always angry character who always wants something for nothing and that's something that does require him having a more gruff voice and with Paddington his voice is more soft almost polite which again is something that really does require a more soft spoken kind of voice with Sir Michael giving all of the characters voices that suit them perfectly something which if they had someone else doing the narration for his show really might have been lost.

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. With this episode continuing the trend that is set by the rest of this show by having really good acting it with Sir Michael Hordern really proving why he was the right to be the sole actor for this show as while granted he was never to be on the same level of say Mel Blanc but for a kids TV show where the episodes are a little under five minuets each he does do a really good job of capturing all of the characters voices down perfectly. With the best and only actor in this episode being Sir Michael Hordern with it being more obvious the more that this show is on why he was knighted in the first place as he is just so good not only in this episode but in this show as a whole with it being obvious that he does have a deep level of love for these characters weather that be due to the fact that he read those stories himself or if he read them to either his own kids or any younger relatives of his and that's why he loves these characters so much either way that love is clear as day in not only this episode but in the show as a whole with it being something that does come through in his performance in this very 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 really has to do is just 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 really are currently over at FilmFair. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation 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 animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. This episodes animation was quite frankly alot more better then what it really could have been as all of these episodes where all animated by the shows director Ivor Wood on his own and yet there is still a high bar of animation set for each episode with none of the episodes having animation that is bad persay. As there will of course be episodes that are better animation then others such is the case with this episode as while the quality of the animation isn't bad it's just that there are other episodes in this series that are better animated with this episode still having some good animation that does make make you wonder how they pulled it off as if the case with Paddington falling off of Mr. Curry's table or Mr. Curry opening the hole in The Brown's garden for Paddington to cross over into his own garden there are alot of scenes like this in this episode and while today you could very easily chalk this is up to them being in done in CGI and call it a day back in the seventies that was never an option and therefor the makers of this episode did have to get creative in how they pulled such things off, with Paddington himself having some really nice and fluid movements to him with the thing that does let the animation in this episode down being the fact that none of the 2D characters get to move all that and there are times where you can tell that it is stop motion animation which is something that does pull you out of the episode.

If you want a good episode that shows of just how kind and thoughtful that Paddington is then you really should look at this episode. As without question he decides to make The Browns a magazine rack just because it's a nice thing to do and without him getting anything in return for his troubles he offers to do the same for Mr. Curry which is something that he didn't have to do given the fact that Mr. Curry up until this point in the show has been quite grumpy towards Paddington often wanting something for nothing and yet Paddington is still kind to him trying to win him over as that's just the sort of bear that he is he sees the best in everyone even when they can't see it in themselves and part of that does include being kind to people who don't like him all that much at the best of times. This however might not be the best episode to show of just how helpful that the character is as he does end up causing a big mess in Mr. Curry's kitchen and then running out on him when he realises that he's in trouble which is great for a joke but it doesn't show of just how helpful that Paddington is as we know from other episodes of the show that he is the first one to offer his help when someone needs it and yet here he doesn't offer to t clean up Mr. Curry's kitchen which granted was something that he really didn't need to do but given the fact that he is meant to be this kind hearted bear it is something that he perhaps might have done, Paddington tho still does get a chance to be helpful as you could argue that him offering to make something not only for The Browns but also Mr. Curry is still him being helpful as he's making them something that for all we know they don't have.

Speaking of Mr. Curry even tho he plays a bi role in the plot of the episode he barely appears in the episode itself. With him only appearing near the start of the episode and that's it whilst granted he does speak near the end of the episode we don't see him after he lets Paddington into his own house which is a bit odd given the fact that he is a main character in this episode but it's also pretty par the course for this show as this show does have episodes where other main characters outside of Paddington don't appear all that much heck Mr. Brown isn't in the episode at all and yet the episode really isn't hurt by not having Mr. Curry be in the episode all that much as there is only so much that you could do with that character in the first place. Still tho it would have been nice to see more of him in the episode as having him interacting with Paddington whilst Paddington is working is something that could have been very comical to see and heck maybe it could have been Mr. Curry distracting Paddington and that causes Paddington to saw Mr. Curry's table in half in the first place thus adding a touch of irony to the episode but in all fairness tho we do come to this show to see Paddington and not his supporting characters and while it would have been fun to see them interacting more as there interactions in this show are usually comedy gold having Mr. Curry be in this episode more would have taken away from the show main and title character ad there is a good chance that as like all of the stories in this first series this is based on one of the Paddington books that might have been done the same way in the book and the makers of this show are just trying to be as faithful to the books as they could have done but in saying this tho seeing them interact together is alot more fun. 

The very idea of having this bear that is known for causing trouble even tho he doesn't realise it is a good idea. With the idea alone opening itself up for alot of fun scenes with both Paddington and his supporting characters and to be fair to this episode this episode does take as full advantage of that as it possibly could have done as the episode does go into great detail not only about the book that he is reading but also how it inspired him to build the magazine rack in the first place and while this episode was never going to be as good as the other episodes in this series due to the fact that the episode is lighter then usual on both plot and character this is something that does well enough to the episodes advantage that you do end forgiving it for that in the first place. While the episode would have worked by having one of The Browns at the start of the episode have a chat with Paddington before saying something like "uh-oh" when they realise what he's going to do as he is this accident prone bear that doesn't really know any better it would still be pointless to have a scene like that in the episode as well the audience know full well then that he's going to be getting to into some trouble with the fun instead coming from working out how big the trouble will be and having any member of The Browns sign post that would be shoving it down our throats and would make the part where he does get intro trouble alot less fun to watch even tho it would still give The Browns alot more to do in the episode outside of just appearing at the end of the episode, heck the episode could have found a funnier way to have Paddington avoid Mr. Curry outside of just finding out at home however in all fairness this is still a really fun episode with the idea alone being more then enough to carry the episode as the idea of this kind but clumsy bear offering to do some DIY for his neighbour really is a good enough idea in it's own right.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly four minuets and fifty seconds. This is kind of the bogstanderd running time not only for this episode and show but for alot of kids animated TV shows that were airing around the same time and to be this episode did kind of need to be this long as the episode whilst it doesn't have a big enough plot to speak off it's idea is one that does need to be set up and explained in a way that does make sense and the episode does need to have alot of time just to show the amount of ways that Paddington could possibly screw things up and make Mr. Curry unhappy with him and while the episode could have gotten away with having a shorter running time it does work just as well with it's current running time with the episode having the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. Yet even so the episode doesn't fully use its running tike all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot as it's never really explained in the episode why Paddington has this sudden interest in building things himself and it's not explained why he wants to make something for The Browns with the only thing that we the audience can mind of make out is the reason why Mr. Curry wants a magazine rack as he found that Paddington was making one and therefor he saw a chance t get something for free however it is made clear as day that the makers of this episode did put alot more thought and effort into giving some creative animated shots then they did into giving us a well developed plot. This is something that does also effects the episodes characters development which fair enough is something that was always going to be hard given the series very short running time and while this episode doesn't really call for it it still would have been nice to see something literally anything added tho these character with the makers of this episode being more focused on giving us alot of scene with Paddington using his saw then they were in giving 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 film 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 episodes comedy was to be frank really cute as it will never not be funny seeing all of the ways that Paddington tries to clean up a mess that he himself created only to end up making things much more worse for himself as that is something that will always be comedy gold as you have an unlimited amount of ways in which that will always be funny as there will always be different characters that he interacts with in an episode to make that idea funny and while he doesn't interact with Mr. Curry all that much in this episode seeing them bounce off of each is still comedy gold. With the best joke in the whole entire episode being when Paddington puts down the the sheet that he intends to use to create Mr. Curry's magazine rack on top of his own table and then starts sawing through both the sheet and unknowingly the table as well with Paddington only finding out when he does to take a sit down and the table collapses under Paddingtons weight, the comedy doesn't stop there tho rather it keeps on building and building with there being alot of small jokes in this one bigger joke and there all funny as they all feel true to who Paddington is as he never meant to cause all this damage but due to how naive he is he ended up doing so anyway with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall whilst yes there are much more better episodes of this show out there this is by no means a bad episode but when your judging with the rest of this really good good show that does need alot more love and care from Paddington fans then it does come really short this is despite it being a really good episode in it's own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in his 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 7.5 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.

Batman: Caped Crusader Season 2 SPOILER FILLED Review

There are alot of Batman shows out there some of them are great like Batman: The Animated Series and so of them are god awful like Batfam. Yet there is one show that not alot of people know even came back for a second season as not alot of people are talking this is despite the fact that a few years ago EVERYONE was talking about the shows first season well this reviewer didn't forget and it's that very season that i'm going to be talking to you all about today and so then join me as I review the second season of the how that is actually a step up from the first season with the show in question being called simply just "Batman: Caped Crusader" enjoy.

The plot of this season is sometime after the events of Season 1 Rupert Thorn and his son go missing with Thorn leaving The Riddler in charge with Batman having to try and stop him and a more dangerous foe lurking in the shadows. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season well in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season was in all honesty really good. This seasons plot is alot more better then the plot of the first season was as you don't really know what's going to happen this time around with that being the very thing that does make this seasons plot feel not only unpredictable but also more in line with the kinds of plots that they would do on Batman: The Animated Series. As with that show if you look at all of the best episodes alot of them all have the same thing in common and that's the fact that you can't tell where the plots are going and while this seasons individual plots aren't that good as alot of them do have have forgettable plots it's the ones that focus more on the seasons plot that do turn out to be the better episodes of the season as you don't really know where the episodes plot is going to go next and they help to further the seasons main plot in creative ways all of which do work and while yes the seasons main plot could have been better in some respects as the the season does have episodes that don't do anything with the seasons plot there's denying the fact that the plot of this season is alot better then the one that we got last season with the plot of this season 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 season is Hamish Linklater as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Jason Watkins as Alfred Pennyworth. Also starring in this season is Krystal Joy Brown as Barbara Gordon , Eric Morgan Stewart as James Gordon , Michelle C Bonilla as Renee Montoya , Matthew Needham as the Joker , Cedric Yarbrough as Rupert Thorne and Linton Midnite , Josh Keaton as Matthew Thorne and D.A Peter Mitchell , Gary Anthony Williams as Arnold Flass , John DiMaggio as Harvey Bullock , Ronan Raftery as Edward Nygma / Riddler , Laraine Newman as Hattie Tetch / Mad Hatter , Darcy Yellin as Dala Landry , James Urbaniak as Hugo Strange , Zach Lazar Hoffman as Mark "Dez" Desmond / Blockbuster , Bumper Robinson as Lucius Fox , Tom Kenny as Eel O'Brian , JP Karliak as Julian Gregory / Calendar Man , Grey DeLisle as Lois Lane , Wunmi Mosaku as Roxanne Sutton / Roxy Rocket , Blythe Melin as Niccolai Tepes / The Mad Monk , Roger Craig Smith as Jim Corrigan / The Spectre , Jamie Chung as Dr. Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn , Josh Brener as Jonathan Crane Jr / Scarecrow , Lacey Chabert as Vicki Vale , Fryda Wolff as Rose Canton / Thorn , Juliet Donenfeld as Carrie Kelley / Grey Ghost and Kevin Michael Richardson as Victor Fries / Mister Zero.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season well in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season was in all honesty really good. This seasons acting was equally on par with the acting from the last last season which in this case is by no means a bad thing as the overall acting un that last season was really good and while there are some better acted episodes in this season that is something that you do get in any given TV show with it being obvious that alot of the season actors who are coming back for this season have grown into there characters quite well and while they won't even be able to replace Kevin Conroy , Mark Hamill or even Tara Strong for that matter this season actors do do a good enough job of playing these characters in their own right. With the best actor in this season quite easily being Matthew Needham as The Joker as while the character doesn't really take centre stage until the final two episodes of the season Matthew does make them count and when he does take centre stage he does come across as being a more creepy version of The Joker with him giving the character alot of threat and menace whilst still maintaining the characters dog chasing a car mentality and yet it doesn't feel at odds with the rest of the seasons actors as while it would have been very easy for him to go over the top with the character as that is fitting for any take on the character the fact that the makers of this season really chose not to do that and rather keep the performance for the character small and creepy does make the character all the more creepier which is something that does shine through in his performance. With the acting that's in this very season really being helped by the fact that this season scripts are just so good that all this seasons 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 season.

Doing the animation for this season is Studio Grida and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Studio IAM. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season well in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season was in all honesty really good. This seasons animation was quite frankly alot more better then what it really had any right to be as it did times bring back memories of Batman: The Animated series and it's animation as both this show and that show do share a very similar art style yet in this season it does feel like that the art style was pushed to about as far as they could go with it. As there are times where the characters look like they would be more at home in Batman: The Animated Series rather then this show due to the fact that the shows do share a very similar look to them with even some of Gotham's buildings for example looking like how they did in that show with this being something that does help to rob this show of its own look and feel, this season does mix in a good dose of 3D CGI animation with alot of the cars and other vehicles being rendered in 3D which is something that you can tell right away as it does stand out like a sore thumb and while it does make sense that the makers of this show would chose to go this route for its vehicles there still should have been some effort to make them blend in as much as possible with the rest of the seasons animation and while the characters do have some fluid animation in the action they oddly don't when it comes to the seasons walking scenes where there movements become a lot more stilted.

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

Like with the first season this season does also have a few nods and winks to both The Animated Series and oddly enough Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm. With there being shot somewhere early on in the season that is similar to the opening of The Animated Series intro with the two guys robbing a bank which was a fun tip off the hat to see as the first season ended with a nod to that very same intro yet much more later on in the season we get a mention of The Gotham Worlds Fair which was of course the main setting of Mask Of The Phantasm which while it was fun to hear that reference when you add in the fact that the show does look like The Animated Series all it ends up doing is reminding you that you could be watching a much more better and well loved show and movie. This is not to say that the show should stop tipping it's hat to The Animated Series heck they even mention The Grey Ghost in an episode with Carrie Kelly which again was fun to see but there has to be line between tipping your hat to the past and outright copying what worked so well in the first place and here with this show and this season it does feel like the makers of the show were copying things that worked in the previous show and that's not fair to this show as the idea of a more serialized Batman animated TV show is a good idea but given that the show does look and feel like The Animated Series is just makes you want to watch that show and not think about this one, with the only two places where this show does stand out being in the character designs which depending on the character either does or doesn't work and the fact that this season does have alot more gory and shocking deaths with it being revealed that Rupert Thorn and his son were frozen to death by this shows version of Mister Freeze.

As you might recall from the first seasons cliffhanger ending the man villain for this season is The Joker. Which is such a smart move on the behalf of the makers of this show as that character is perfect for this type of show and having be in the background for pretty much the first half of the season making us thing that it'll be The Riddler that's the main villain only to have The Joker fully take over in the last two episodes is a good move as it is something that we wouldn't see coming as while we did know that the character would be in this season in some capacity due to again the first season cliffhanger what we didn't know was how big of a role the character would play in the season and while he doesn't play that big of a role he plays a big enough role to make him a memorable villain. Heck out of him and The Riddler who are the two big villains this season it's The Joker that comes off as being all the more better as while The Riddler is just as crazy as ever with him killing people at random or just because they made him mad for a second that does feel out of character for him whereas with The Joker and seeing acting more cold and calculated whilst still being this dark and menacing creature of chaos does feel true to who he is as a character as this version of the character is trying to kill all of Gotham to get its citizens to see themselves for who he thinks that they really are with him not really having an end goal outside of that and that is perfect for The Joker as he does do whatever he wants to do just because he can, with him even presenting a true threat to Batman as while The Riddler was able to out smart Batman several times The Joker has always been able to push the limits of how far Batman is willing to go to stop a criminal with this being something that he does do in this season with Batman only just being able to hold of on killing him. 

We do get different version of classic Batman villains in this season with the character of Mister Zero pretty much just being Mister Freeze and the character of Thorn pretty much just being Poison Ivy even down to them both having a love of plants. This is something that makes no sense at all as those villains are so well known even today that you could just have them be called there classic names and it would still work as the show is keeping alot of things about the characters in the first place that they are still just those iconic characters and if your going to change the characters name then why not go all out and make it a new character all together why not make Thorn for example be someone who hates plants and wants to destroy all plant life on earth and why not make Mister Zero someone who is just really good at cleaning up the messes that the mob leaves behind them. As those would still work as villains as it makes it easier for us the audience to hate them as characters and yet due to the fact that the makers of this show are pretty much just making them those characters al it does is make us wonder why they aren't calling Poison Ivy Poison Ivy and again like with the first season they do a gender swap of a classic villain with it being The Mad Hatter this go around and to be frank it is something that does work alot more better this go around as they aren't so in your face about it with the character in this season being the host of a talk show that just bashes everything that Batman and the GCPD does whilst praising all of the villains with the character only appearing in a few handful of episodes before she gets killed of near the end of the season which is a good way to use her.

Now then this season has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer of no longer then twenty eight minuets. With there being ten episodes in this season one being around twenty seven minuets in length and while the show is ten episode the episode count does make this season a bit of a chore to watch as there are plenty of filler episodes that don't do anything to the plot and are purely there to fill out the episodes order as you very easily could have told this seasons entire story line in about five maybe six episodes at a stretch and yet for one reason or another the makers of this show thought that we needed a good ten episodes to tell this story when all that does is drag out the seasons plot with the season having just about enough plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. Yet even with the season being ten episodes long it still doesn't take all that much time to fully develop either it's episodic plot or it's season long with both plots coming across as being undercooked when the season had plenty of time to fully develop it's main plot as all it would have to do is just have more episodes that are focusing on the main plot to fully flesh it out and for the episodic plots it would need to have scenes in there that that are all about pushing that episodes plot forward and making it feel more well developed and yet the makers of this season clearly put more time and effort into making nods and winks to The Animated Series that we ended up getting a more weaker developed plot. With the same thing even being true for the seasons character development as while Batman got some character development last season by learning to trust Alfred here he gets none with him even having the same character arc as the last season only now it's with the GCPD characters with none of them getting any character development either the makers of this show being more focused on giving classic villains new names then they are in giving it's characters character development but I really will admit that this season really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show 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 show was in all honesty really good. With each of the seasons ten episodes having at the very least one action scene in it with some naturally being better then others with the fact that we have this many action scenes per episode does serve to make the point that when this show gets it right like it does with alot of this seasons action then it really does get it right as the action in this season is just so good that it makes you want to watch the rest of the episode. With the best action scene in the entire season being the fight scene with The Joker in episode 10 "The Laughing Death" as we get to see Batman and The Joker just go all out in a what is basically a fight to the death while on top on a building while Gotham is in chaos around them due to The Jokers Joker Venom being around to everyone including Alfred and James Gordon with Batman only just being able to cure Alfred who then flies that Batplane over Gotham spreading the cute all the while Batman and the Joker are still duking it out neither one being able to best the other one with it only being due to Joker leaping of he building himself that the fight finally ends, this is a good way to end the season as it does this great season out on a high note as we want to see these two character duking it out and going all out and that's exactly what we got with the rest of the seasons action being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall this season was easily ten times better then the first season and it is a shame that not alot of people are watching this new season as while your not going to be seeing anything groundbreaking like with The Animated Series but you would see is something that was a huge step in the right direction 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 season in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very season really does earn itself a grand ld score of exactly an 8 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 well as ladies and gentlemen I personally all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com 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.

Tom And Jerry: Texas Tom Review

Tom And Jerry are characters that need absolutely no introduction as everyone regardless of there age knows who these characters are be it from there various TV shows and movies or if really your off a certain the original animated shorts. Bottom line being these two characters are ones that alot of people do know about and well I thought that i'd take a look at one of there classic shorts as i've really been trying to get a review of one of there shorts of the ground and so then join me as I review the cartoon that sees Tom and Jerry at a dude ranch with the cartoon in question being called simply just "Texas Tom" enjoy.

The plot of this cartoon is Tom and Jerry are just doing there usual thing at a dude ranch when an attractive cat comes to stay and Tom falls in love with her. 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. While the cartoons plot is a really simple plot for something like Tom and Jerry that's kind of what you want as the plots are nothing more then an excuse for the characters to get creatively violent with each other and that is something that doesn't really require a deep plot to it. Rather it just requires the most basic of sets up and that's it and that's something that we the plot of this cartoon gives us as the set up is them at a dude ranch we don't need to know why they are there we just need to see them there as that allows for the characters to get to the mindless and funny violence that they are known for and while yes it would have helped if the cartoon did have a stronger plot as something like "Blue Cat Blues" did prove that these characters can work just find with a stronger plot and still have funny violence but it's not really something that is required to make the cartoon work as nobody is going to a Tom And Jerry cartoon wanting to see a plot heavy cartoon as we are going into it to see these two hurt each other in fun and funny ways and whilst yes it would have helped if they did have a deeper plot as then could answer the question of why these characters are this dude ranch in the first place but that is something that would take away from what we've came to to this cartoon for in the first place 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. 

This one of the many Tom And Jerry cartoons where there is no voice actors in the cartoon and this is something that does work for these characters. As these character do work there best when they are silent as then we get to see what the characters are thinking through the use of the animation rather then having it be told us and thankfully alot of the Tom And Jerry movies barring the obvious one have stayed true to this and kept the characters silent minus the odd scream from Tom with the characters being the best animated silent duo of all time due to the fact that they never utter a word not only in this cartoon but in alot of the cartoons as well with this being something that has helped to make the characters timeless. As if this cartoon was made today then you just know that the characters wouldn't shut up and would be voiced by celebrities spouting phrases that are four or five years old with that being something that would date the cartoon right away and yet due t the fact that the characters never say a word you could show a kid this cartoon today and actually trick them into thinking that it's a new cartoon as outside of one scene the whole cartoon does have a timeless quality to it, with the fact that the characters also being why they've been able to keep on going all of these instead of just fading away like alot of other silent movie stars did eventually do when talkies started being a thing as it would have been very easy for Tom And Jerry to just fade away when the shorts ended but they kept on coming back and they kept on bringing back that style of silent cinema where it's just the characters actions and facial expressions that are driving the dialog forward and while yes cartoons like for example Mickey Mouse and the Looney Tunes have proven that characters can still talk and be relevant the fact that Tom And Jerry are silent characters is something that has made them stand out even all of these many years later.

Silent characters like Mr. Bean have proven that there is still a market out for these types of characters as when they are done right like they are with Tom And Jerry you usually end up getting gold. On top of that it would have the added the benefit of making the comedy feel timeless as now your not bogging it down with modern day lingo your just doing what has always been funny with these cartoon and even the Mr. Bean sketches being very easy to translate across the world as once again the characters are silent and therefor everything is visual with this being something that means kid in say Asia could find the same Tom And Jerry cartoon that a kid in America or in other parts of the world also loves and yet for one reason or another Hollywood today seems to shy away from doing this type of comedy when it's a proven hit. With this cartoon again being a good example of this as all of the jokes ad the story are told visually whereas alot of the other Tom and Jerry cartoons have someone getting across what the set up is for the cartoon where as here none of that happens and we have to rely solely on what we see happening in the cartoon with this being something that does make the cartoon feel like it does have that universal feeling to it as while alot of people wont know what a dude ranch is or if they do it's more then likely because they've seen it on TV but the idea of Tom doing anything to get the attention of this attractive cat all the while Jerry is just messing with him that is something that alot of people can relate and it is something that we see in a lot of silent comedy films and shorts, again the Mr. Bean episodes are a good example of this as alot of the time they do have this extra ordinary character doing these mundane things with it being how he does them that makes them funny and timeless and yet alot of the comedy that we have today isn't timeless where as the silent comedy of Tom and Jerry will always be timeless.   

Doing the animation for this cartoon is the legends and the greats that are Kenneth Muse , Irven Spence , Ray Patterson and Ed Barge. 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. This cartoons animation was of a really good quality with all of the cartoons backgrounds looking really good but at the same time tho the backgrounds do feel a little bit empty as there's really nothing to hit home that the point that the characters are meant to be at dude ranch granted this might gave been for budgetary reasons which would be fair enough but there did still need to be something to make the the cartoons backgrounds stand out all the more. Where the cartoons animation does stand out is with the characters movements as all of the characters are not only given these really fluid movements but there are also given this really zippy animation that does work well with the series sense of comedy, yet there was one thing that did slightly let the cartoons animation own and that's the fact that they recycle a scene from earlier on in the cartoon where Tom throws his rope and it chases Jerry around a corner which was fine the first time that they did it as then it was being use to set up the cartoon but using it again later on in the same cartoon does scream budgetary issues which is something that doesn't really harm the cartoon or it's animation but it does make the makers of this cartoon be all the more lazy as it's a only a few seconds they very easily could have animated a different scene but the fact that they didn't do that it does mark down the animations quality.

As with alot of the cartoons from the same time period this one was censored altho not as much as others where. As the only scene that got removed at the very least in the UK version of the cartoon is the scene where we see Tom smoking and that's it and just to be clear this cartoon does also have a scene very early on where Tom is show to be using a gun and yet that scene and the joke following it for that matter never got cut from the UK version of the cartoon whilst it is understandable as to why the scene of Tom smocking was cut as they didn't want to put kids onto smocking then surely they should have cut the scene with him using a gun as that is a weapon that kids could get ahold off and use either on each other or on a loved one or friend. Fair enough not having the scene with Tom smocking in the cartoon wouldn't effect the cartoon at all but it does make weird that censors chose to fixate on that one small scene when odds are that kids would be exposed more to smocking due to having either a parent of a family member that does smoke but as was said it was understandable as to why it was cut in the first place much like how it was understandable why the makers of this cartoon thought that it was a good idea to include it in the first place as back in the fifties when this cartoon was being made smocking would have been seen a being the in thing to do at the time and with these cartoons reflecting the thoughts and attitudes of the time that they were made in which in this case does include showing smoking as being a cool and popular thing when in reality it's not cool and it's never the popular thing to do.

Much like with alot of Tom and Jerry cartoons the person starting the fight this time around is Tom himself. This is something that will always work as it means that Jerry does have a reason to actively fight Tom where as in some of the cartoons its Jerry that's that presented as being the bad guy due to the fact that he would start the fight with Tom and while it could be argued that the same thing does happen here due to the fact that the cartoon does start with them fighting but due to the fact that we see Tom acting more like a bad guy towards Jerry it is safe to assume that he is the one that started the fight and heck we even see him drag Jerry back to him by his rope at the start of the cartoon therefor Jerry is actually totally justified in his hatred of Tom in this cartoon. With the fact that they do get up to there usual schtick all the while Tom is still trying to impress this girl with singing off of a record only serving to hit hm the fact that the two of them really can't stand each other this time around as it does feel like that they are trying to one up each other interms of the things that they do to each other which is something that does make the cartoon alot of fun to watch as you never really no just what it is that the characters are going to be doing to each other next with the only things that we know for sure is that it's going to hurt and it's going to be funny. However tho there should have been a scene later on in the cartoon where Jerry does something to extreme to the point where it does make Tom want to genuinely hurt him as that is something that these two characters not only would do to each other but have done to each other in other cartoons and it therefore wouldn't seem out of place in this cartoon.

However the thing that does seem out of place in not only this cartoon but just in general is the fact that it's revealed that Jerry also has feelings for the cat. Granted this is a cute and funny way to end the cartoon but given the fact that he's just spent the entire cartoon trying to get rid of one cat it doesn't really make sense for him to want to impress another one as that just feels out of character if it was revealed that the cat had an attractive mouse friend or an attractive mouse pulled up outside the dude ranch then it would work as it would make sense for Jerry to try and go after a female mouse but him going after a female cat just because she's beautiful doesn't change the fact that she is still a cat which by this franchises own logic implies that she would want to eat Jerry. The female cat who according to the Tom And Jerry fandom wiki is called Tara really doesn't do all tat much as all she does is just sit there why the guys fawn over her which is fine for a cartoon like this one but it doesn't give us a reason to like her character due to the fact that like alot of the love interests in this franchise he doesn't really do anything to move the plot forward rather she is to start the plot and that's really it yet it would made just as much sense if we got to see play more of an active role in the cartoon just by having her turn Tom down during the cartoon or just not notice thus forcing him to make his attempts to win her over more and more extreme something which he has shown to perfectly willing to do with other love interests in the past and yet by not having her do anything other then it there for some odd reason the makers of this cartoon have instead just made what could have been a funny character into someone who is just there for the sake of the cartoon needing a female character.

Now then this carton has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly six minuets and forty two seconds. Which is kind of the bogstandard running time for a Tom And Jerry cartoon as they never typically ran over seven minuets and to be fair these cartoons don't really need longer running times in order for them to work in the first place as alot of the time they do have simpler plots that don't really require a longer running time in order for them to work and while this cartoon could have benefitted from being a few minuets longer as that would allow for more jokes to be packed unto the cartoon it wasn't something that was needed in the first with this cartoon having more then there interms of plot to cover this amount of running time in the first place. While the cartoon doesn't really use its running time all that wisely as the cartoon doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot given the fact that the plot of his cartoon as is simple as it is it really doesn't need to as all it needs to do is give us the basic set up of the cartoon and that's it and that is something that really doesn't require plot development would have been nice if there was some plot development yes of course it would but it's not needed when the plot is this simple with the makers of this cartoon being far more focused on giving Tom a musical number then they were in giving this cartoon some plot development. The same thing is also rue for the cartoons character development as both Tom and Jerry don't really need any character development as there usual schtick doesn't require it as the only thing that we need to know is who is the bad guy of the cartoon and that's really it with the only character who did need some  development being Tara and even then given how simple the plot is it's debatable on if she really needed character development with the makers of this cartoon being alot more focused on making Jerry fall in love with a cat then they are in giving the characters some actual character development but I really will admit that this very cartoon really dos 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 cartoon 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 cartoon was in all honesty really good. The cartoons comedy whilst it is really good does oddly enough feel like it's holding itself back as there's none of the top violence that we think of when we think of Tom and Jerry and while that's not always a bad thing but given the fact that this cartoon is set at a dude ranch then it does make you wonder why the makers of this cartoon didn't go as all out as they normally would have done in a Tom And Jerry cartoon. With the best joke in the whole cartoon being when Tom does first capture Jerry and he brings Tom back with his rope does taunt him by almost threatening to shoot him only for Jerry to not only turn the tables on Tom but also blow ll of the the bullets out of his gun into Tom's mouth and then hitting the bullets so they explode with Jerry then escaping only for Tom and to once again drag him back with his rope only this time Jerry has a cactus in his hand which he then uses to whack Tom in the face and escape again with Tom this time hitting himself in the face with a pole when he tries to give chase, what makes this joke work is the fact that it does feel like classic Tom And Jerry with then getting as violent as they want to do with Jerry hitting the bullets in Toms mouth with this joke being a fine example of just how funny that the jokes in this cartoon be with the rest of the cartoons jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a really fun cartoon that does do a solid up of giving us the violence that we love in a Tom and Jerry cartoon and while the comedy does feel like it's holding itself back alot when it does go all out that's when we get to see just how funny that this cartoon really is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the 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 this very cartoon really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 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 his 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.
