Doctor Who: The Faceless Ones Review

 


Doctor Who fans since i've such a good time at taking a look back at some of the classic Doctor Who animations. As such I thought that i'd take a look at another classic Doctor Who animation with this serial also being the final episode for two companions and so then join me as I review the episode that sees the departure of two classic Doctor Who companions with the episode in question being called simply just "The Faceless Ones" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after they land at Gatwick Airport The Doctor , Ben , Polly and Jamie discover something that's far more sinister is going on. 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 with this episodes plot being quite engaging and quite entertaining in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Starring in this episode is Patrick Troughton as The Doctor , Anneke Wills as Polly and Michael Craze as Ben Jackson. Also starring in this episode is Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon , Colin Gordon as Commandant , Donald Pickering as Blade , Wanda Ventham as Jean Rock , Pauline Collins as Samantha Briggs , Bernard Kay as Inspector Crossland , George Selway as Meadows , Gilly Fraser as Ann Davidson , Victor Winding as Spencer , Christopher Tranchell as Jenkins , Peter Whitaker as Inspector Gascoigne , Barry Wilsher as Heslington , Madalena Nicol as Nurse Pinto and Leonard Trolley as Supt. Reynolds.

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 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 the acting that we got in this episode being really good an the actors turning in some really good performances in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Just like with alot of the recent Doctor Who animations that i've reviewed I cannot find out what company did the actual animation for this episode. Which is a shame because this episodes animation was really top notch and it was a sign that alot more effort was being put into the actual animation that we got in these Doctor Who animations and this episode is a really good example of that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


As I mentioned at the start of this review this episode did see the departure of both Ben Polly and well to say that there departure wasn't handled very well at all would be a huge understatement. Since they are missing for a huge portion of this episodes storyline and so then there's no build up to their departure at all which means that when they do decide to leave the TARDIS for good it comes out of nowhere in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This episode did try to set a new companion in the character of Samantha Briggs however due to the actress not wanting to do a regular role in a long running TV series the character was very quickly written out of the show for good. Which is such a shame because this character had some really good chemistry with both The Doctor and Jamie and it would have been fun to see how her spunky and fiery personality clashes with that of both The Doctors and Jamie's personality in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


I really did like this episodes villains since they aren't motivated by doing anything evil they are instead motivated to do what they are doing in order to save their race. Which does make these villains characters come across as being alot more human and likable since all they are doing is trying to survive and nothing more then that which is a nice change of pace from seeing aliens trying to take the over the world in my freaking opinions anyways /at least.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this films grand total running time even was I do know that for a fact that this film had a grand total rough running time of roughly two hours. Which is a bit on the long side for an episode like this one to last since you very easily could have told this episodes storyline in well under one hour ad thirty minuets which would have worked much better to this stories advantage in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then as you can most likely tell i'm doing this review based of off the coloured version of this episode. Since this now gives me something more to talk about and well I really did like the colors in this episode since they really did help sell me on the fact that this episode as being set in the mid sixties and it really does help that all of the colours in this episode really do pop and is a visual treat for the eyes to see in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this is a rather solid episode of Doctor Who but it's handling of two companions leaving the show should have been handled alot better and those characters shouldn't have straight up disappeared from the 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 means that this very episode erns 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 the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: Shada Review

 


Doctor Who fans I know that right now that we are all grieving but I have to admit that I had this review planned out for at the very least a good few days. So then as alot of you will know i'm fan of these Doctor Who animations and well then there's one story that is rather famous for being incomplete that was of course until it was fully animated and so then join me as I review the story that has become the stuff of legend with the episode in question being called simply just "Shada" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after a book belonging to an old friend of The Doctors goes missing The Doctor and Romana go looking for it but themselves caught up in much more deadlier game. 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 with this episodes plot being really good and really entertaining at the exact same time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Tom Baker as The Doctor , Lalla Ward as Romana and David Brierley as The Voice Of K9.Also starring in this episode is Christopher Neame as Skagra , Denis Carey as Professor Chronotis , Daniel Hill as Chris Parsons , Victoria Burgoyne as Clare Keightley , Gerald Campion as Wilkin , Derek Pollitt as Dr Caldera , Shirley Dixon as The Voice Of The Ship and James Coombes as The Voice Of The Krargs.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us un 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 all of this episodes cast not only doing the live action roles really well but also doing a good job at voicing their respective characters as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Try as I might I cannot for the absolutely life of me find out who did the animation for this episode which is such a shame. As this episode is quite easily the best animated Doctor Who reconstruction thus far with this episodes animation looking very smooth and very fluid and because of the fact that the cast had to record new audio for these animated segments the mouth mouth movements also looked really freaking good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


For those of you that don't know this story was never finished since there where several strikes during production. Which meant that in studio filming couldn't be finished and as such production for one the episode was cancelled however we did get to see some footage all the way back in The Five Doctors special and there have been a few adaptations and reconstructions of this story over the years however this one is perhaps the closet thing that we are ever going to be getting to a complete version of this story as it was originally meant to be seen on TV in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I'm not going to lie and say that this episode is perfect because it's not since this episode doesn't really take the time to fully develop any of the guest characters. Which is such a shame because there is a twist in this episode which would have worked alot better if this character was alot fully developed instead of being presented to us as a one dimensional character in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Another thing that I really didn't like about this episode was the it's design for The Krargs since to me they just look like they had a bin bag thrown over them. Which is a shame because when Doctor Who wants to get really creative with it's villain designs we get designs like the Daleks and yet the design for this episode villains just looks lazy and it doesn't make them look scary or even creepy looking at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly two hours and eighteen minuets and twenty two seconds. Which while this story does have more then enough there interms of both plot and story to cover that running time it's also a story that really didn't need to be that long at all since you very easily could have covered this episodes entire storyline in well under two hours in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this show is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and 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 not that bad. Which considering that all of this episodes action just focuses on K9 they really do get the most that they can do action wise out of K9 in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode while it does have it's fair share of problems it's also a great animated Doctor Who episode and it really does show you just how good these animations can be 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 means that this very episode erns 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 the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page , Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Game Of Thrones "Valar Morghulis" Review

 



Game Of Thrones fans i'm not making this up when I say that it's been roughly a decade since i've seen anything from season 2 of this show. As such I thought that it was only about right that I cover an episode from this particular season of the show and well i've picked a really good episode from this season of the show to review and so then join me as I review the episode that brought back Jason Momoa with the episode in question being called simply just "Valar Morghulis" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Dany tries to get her dragons back all the while the King thanks those who helped him fight in a war. 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 altho I will admit that parts of this episodes plot a fairly forgettable tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister and Lena Headey as Queen Cersei Lannister. Also starring in this episode is Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Ser Jaime Lannister , Michelle Fairley as Lady Catelyn Stark , Emilia Clarke as Khaleesi Daenerys Targaryen , Aidan Gillen as Lord Petyr Baelish , Iain Glen as Ser Jorah Mormont , Kit Harington as Jon Snow , Charles Dance as Lord Tywin Lannister , Richard Madden as King Robb Stark , Isaac Hempstead-Wright as Prince Bran Stark , Sophie Turner as Princess Sansa Stark , Maisie Williams as Princess Arya Stark , Alfie Allen as Prince Theon Greyjoy , John Bradley as Samwell Tarly , Jack Gleeson as King Joffrey Baratheon , Natalie Dormer as Lady Margaery Tyrell , Stephen Dillane as King Stannis Baratheon , Carice Van Houten as Melisandre , Conleth Hill as Lord Varys , Sibel Kekilli as Shae , Oona Chaplin as Lady Talisa Maegyr , Gwendoline Christie as Brienne Of Tarth and Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo.

Now then interms if 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 really good. Which is nothing new for Game Of Thrones since even the worst episodes of Game Of Thrones have some really good acting within them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Pixomondo and Baked FX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the dragons fire effects looking really freaking good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode does also continue the budding friendship between Jaimie and Brienne Of Tarth which was something that I rather liked. As it was their relationship that helped steer the show through it's more rougher seasons plus it really does help that the two of them really do have some really good chemistry together and do genuinely come across as being a pair of very good friends in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This is very apparent in their only scene in the episode where the two have to use their wits to escape a bunch of rogue Stark soldiers. Which I really did like as it shows that these two characters are very slowly going from two people that don't like each other to a pair of people who now somewhat enjoy each other's company and is a very good sign of character development in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


There is one thing which now upon reflection is very confusing and that's the fact that at the end of this season we see a bunch of White Walkers walking to The Wall with The Wall only a few hundred yards away. So then why does it take them until season 7 to break through when it's so clearly being set up that season 3 was going to deal with them invading Westeros I haven't seen season 3 in a long time either so maybe it gets explained there but it seems like a rather confusing ending scene when you now look back at it upon reflection in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly one hour and three minuets and twenty six seconds. Which is roughly the bog standard running time for a season finale to Game Of Thrones and it really does help that this episode in particular has more then enough there in terms of either plot or story to cover that rather large amount of running time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this show is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and 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 not that bad. However there where alot of very quick cuts in this episodes action which did make it very hard for me personally to work out what was actually going on which is not a good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode is a prime example of what this show was like when it was at it's prime because that's how good that not only this episode is but also how good this show was when it was in it's prime 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 means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 9.5 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 the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Krypton TV Series "Pilot" Review

 


Superman as a character has been the focus of a lot of live action TV shows with one still airing as we speak. However there hasn't been a live action TV show that's based upon Superman's home world of Krypton well then that all changed in the year of 2018 when the first episode of a new TV show aired and so then join me as I review the first episode of the show that explores Superman's home world with the show being called Krypton and the episode itself being called simply just "Pilot" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is in all honesty rather hard to describe since there's not really a plot to speak of what so ever. Which would be a huge red flag for me personally but given that this is only the pilot episode it makes sense that there isn't much of a plot in this episode since this episode is alot more focused on setting up the world and it's characters but it still would have been nice to see some sort of a plot in this episode tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Cameron Cuffe as Seg-El , Georgina Campbell as Lyta-Zod and Shaun Sipos as Adam Strange. Also starring in this episode is Elliot Cowan as Daron-Vex , Ann Ogbomo as Jayna-Zod , Aaron Pierre as Dev-Em , Rasmus Hardiker as Kem , Wallis Day as Nyssa-Vex , Blake Ritson as Brainiac/ The Voice Of Rao , Ian McElhinney as Val-El , Paula Malcomson as Charys-El and Rupert Graves as Ter-El.

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 his very episode was in all honesty OK at best. This is because this episodes script gives this episodes cast nothing to work with and so they can only do so much to make this episodes script work well enough for them in their favour in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the CGI for this episode and I assume the rest of the series is BUF , DNegTV and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Rodeo FX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad espically for something that was created in a SYFY Channel budget in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



This episode really does shove Superman in your face which is understandable for this show however this episode doesn't go that long without brining him up. Which is a bit much and it is something that does get a little annoying and it is something that takes away from the main characters since it doesn't allow us to get to know these characters since all their doing is shoving Superman down our throats in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I have to admit that the idea of someone destroying various planets just to make sure that Superman isn't even born is a good idea. However at the exact same time tho this episode really doesn't do all that much in setting up that idea other then just straight up saying that's what there going to be doing and that's such a shame because there's so much that you could do with this idea if it's something that's properly explored in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


I do like the idea of exploring the planets politics since that is something that we genuinely haven't seen in a live action adaptation of Superman. However instead of going the Game Of Thrones route this show plays it safe which isn't that interesting since it makes those scenes all the more boring and it makes the world feel alot more smaller then what it actually is and I get not going that much into the politics of this world in the first episode but when your whole basic premise is built around showing us what life was like on this planet before it blows and then not delivering on that premise in a satisfactory way then you have a huge problem on your hands in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty three minuets and six seconds. Which for an episode like this one is such a short amount of time since this episode really should have been a feature length episode which then would have allowed for the show and for the episodes storyline to be fully developed and it would have allowed for the shows characters to comes as alot more three dimensional but as it is alot of scenes get rushed because of the fact that they have to hit the next plot point and that's not a good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then since there is some action in this episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and 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 not that bad. Which granted isn't really saying all that much since we don't get alot of action in this episode but what little action that we did get was really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a decent first episode to this show since it did a somewhat decent job of setting up this shows main storyline however it forgot to have an actual story in this first episode which made this episode feel boring and unneeded at times 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 means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 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 the official Krypton fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Krypton fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Krypton fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: The Power Of The Daleks Review


Doctor Who fans it's been quite a long time since i've last covered a classic Doctor Who serial and well then the serial that i've chosen to review for all today is well and truly iconic. I will well and truly admit that the only reason that I chose this serial to review for all today was that I just fancied watching it and then thus reviewing it and so then join me as I review the serial that is the first ever post regeneration serial with the serial in question being called simply just "The Power Of The Daleks" enjoy.

The plot of this serial is a recently regenerated Doctor takes him and his companions Polly and Ben to the planet Vulcan where a scientist is trying to turn some old enemies of The Doctor's into his slaves and it's up to The Doctor and his companions to save the day before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very serial 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 serial was in all honesty really good and was also rather shockingly suspenseful as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Starring in this serial is Patrick Troughton as The Doctor , Anneke Wills as Polly and Michael Craze as Ben Jackson. Also starring in this serial is Bernard Archard as Bragen , Peter Bathurst as Hensell , Robert James as Lesterson , Nicholas Hawtrey as Quinn , Pamela Ann Davy as Janley , Martin King as The Examiner , Edward Kelsey as Resno , Richard Kane as Valmar , Steven Scott as Kebble and Peter Hawkins as The Voice Of The Daleks.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very serial 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 serial was in all honesty really good.  With all three of the series main leads turning in some really good performances and this serials guest cast more then holding there own performance wise when compared to the series three main leads that is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



For the absolutely life of me I cannot find out who did the actual animation for this serial which is a shame. Simply because the actual animation that was actually featured / presented to us in this very serial was in all honesty not that bad for the most part however there where one or two very dodgy looking shots which isn't a knock against the animators but is a more a knock against the BBC who give these animators such a short amount of time to animate six episodes and so then of course we are going to end up with one or two very dodgy looking animated shots in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Daleks creator Terry Nation once said that he didn't like this serial because he felt that they made the Daleks to kind and sweet. I have to disagree because of the fact that they made the Daleks alot more manipulative which to me is alot more scary then them being just a pure force or pure evil since this way you never know what there going to do next and you don't know how there really feeling in any given situation and that right there makes them alot more scarier in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This episode is iconic for the fact that it's the shows first ever post regeneration episode and this is where we get into the negatives of the serial. Simply because this serial really didn't really explore the effects of regeneration which is to be expected since this was the first post regeneration episode but at the same time I feel that it really would have added something to this serial if they did explore the after effects of regeneration in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


To me if you want any actor to prove that they are The Doctor then you pit them against the Daleks and so having The Second Doctor go against the Daleks in his outing. Is a good way to get across who this character is because no other villain is going to push The Doctor further then The Daleks and so having the Daleks be the first foe that this incarnation of the Doctor goes up against is more then enough to give you a very good idea of who this Doctor is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then while I cannot remember whatever this serials running time even was I do know that for a fact that this serial had a grand total running time of roughly two hours and fifteen minuets. With this serial being six episodes long which is more then enough time and more then enough episode count in order to tell this and do this story some freaking justice and do it well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since there is some action in this serial that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very serial and 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 serial was in all honesty not that bad. With this serials action really making the Daleks look like a real threat which is what you want from an action scene that's featuring the Daleks in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this serial is perhaps the best if not one of the best Dalek serials ever made simply because it makes the Daleks an actual threat which is what you always want a Dalek story to do 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 serial in this very review and as such that means that this very serial erns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 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 the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Gekisou Sentai Carranger "Fighting For Traffic Safety" Review

 


Power Rangers fans even tho it's been a shockingly long time since I last reviewed anything to do with Power Rangers. I thought that now was the absolutely right time to review something from the franchise that spawned Power Rangers that of course being Super Sentai and so then join me as I review the first episode of the show is a parody of the Super Sentai format and formula with the show being called Gekisou Sentai Carranger and the first episode being called simply just "Fighting For Traffic Safety" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after his home planet is destroyed an alien called Dappu arrives of earth to find the five heroes who will begin to bring peace to the galaxy. 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 with this episodes plot being the stereotypical plot for a first episode but one that is also rather enjoyable and fun to watch play out in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Yūji Kishi as Kyosuke Jinnai , Yoshihiro Masujima as Naoki Domon and Yoshihiro Fukuda as Minoru Uesugi. Also starring in this episode is Yuka Motohashi as Natsumi Shinohara , Atsuko Kurusu as Youko Yagami , Mari Maruta as The Voice Of Dappu , Rika Nanase as Beauty Zonnette , Hiroshi Ōtake as The Voice Of President Gynamo , Kyousei Tsukui as The Voice Of Deputy Leader Zelmoda and Takashi Nagasako as The Voice Of Inventor Grotch.

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 all of this episodes quite clearly trying to make this material work however this episodes script just doesn't give any of this episodes cast anything to work with what so freaking in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode has a shockingly dark opening since we open upon the episode with a gang destroying an entire planet. Which was something that you'd never ever see on an episode of Power Rangers and yes they do confirm that all of the planets inhabitants died in the explosion which just goes to show you just how dark this episodes opening scene well and truly is and it oddly works well enough in this freaking episodes favour in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


For those that don't know this particular sentai is actually meant to be viewed as a parody of the sentai format and formular and as a parody this episode does work really well. With this episode having alot of good jokes that not only take aim at the Sentai franchise but at every day live with the five main heroes having to literally be dragged into action which is just the best joke in the entire episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I don't really think that this needs to be said since you can quite clearly tell by the pictures but this sentai had it's footage used in Power Rangers Turbo. With from what I can tell very little footage from this episode being used at all in Power Rangers Turbo but I could be wrong tho but given that this sentai is meant to be a parody it makes me wonder why the makers behind Power Rangers chose to adapt this sentai since it's quite clearly something that's not be to taken seriously in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


For some reason this show chose to make it's main guardian character seem fairly unlikable and really annoying. Since he's given this really annoying voice and an irritating personally with him lying to our heroes in order to get them to do whatever they he wants him to do which makes him seem really unlikable and so I can only hope that he gets better as the show goes on but so far this character is not of to a good start at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly nineteen minuets and fifty nine seconds and so then lets round all of that up to twenty minuets shall we. I will admit this episode could have been a bit longer since it throws so much at you in such a short amount of time that it's hard to keep up with what's going on story wise and so if anything this episode should at the very freaking least have been two episodes long in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


So now then this episode does have alot of action within it and so then that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and 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 not that bad. However that's also the issue because of the fact that this episodes action isn't that particularly good ether in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this episode was a good episode and you can quite easily see why Power Rangers Turbo is considered to be such a bad season of the show since this episode features alot of what makes that show so bad 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 means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 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 the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.

What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead Of His Hands? Review

 


Marvel fans the company has pretty much conquered the live action world and well it was only a matter of time before Marvel Studios turned it's head to the world of animation. Well just last year we got the great What If series which gave us a chance to look at our favourite heroes in a new light and well then join me as I review the episode that is quite possibly the saddest episode of the show with the episode in question being called simply just "What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead Of His Hands?" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after the death of his one true love Doctor Steven Strange embarks on a quest to bring her back to life. 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 really good with this episodes plot being the best plot of the entire show for me personally just due to how impactful it is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Jeffrey Wright as Uatu / The Watcher and Benedict Cumberbatch as Evil Stephen Strange / Evil  Doctor Strange and Regular Stephen Strange / Regular Doctor Strange. Also starring in this episode is Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer , Benedict Wong as Wong , the great Tilda Swinton as Ancient One , Ike Amadi as Cagliostro / O'Bengh and Leslie Bibb as Christine Everhart.

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 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 all of this episodes main cast delivering some truly wonderful freaking performances in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Flying Bark Productions. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and 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 with this episode giving us some truly striking images and some truly striking animation as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode is perhaps the most heartbreaking episode of this show since all you have to do is imagine seeing the love of your life dying over and over again and you can't do anything to stop it. On top of that all of the action that Steven Strange takes to keep Christine alive ultimately end up in the destruction of his own universe and so he still doesn't get to be with the one person that he loves in this world and that is such a tragic ending to this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I really do think that this episode is kind of like Breaking Bad in the sense that both shows are about the good guy falling from grace and becoming the bad guy. Where as Breaking Bad had several seasons to tell that story this show only had one episode and it did the best that it could telling it however I would have liked it if this story was told over several episodes since it is a really interesting story to freaking tell when done well that is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


I really do think that they should have shown us a little bit more of what Steven's relationship with Christine was like before she died. Since then it would  have made her death all the more impactful where as here I really did feel nothing because we know nothing about this version of the character and since her death is a key plot point it would have helped the episode quite alot if we got to see what there freaking relationship was actually like in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly thirty four minuets and forty four seconds. Which was a great amount of time to tell this one storyline however this story would have benefitted from a much longer running time since then you could have delved into the characters a bit more and the Evil Strange's relationship with Cagliostro / O'Bengh and show us how his death effects Strange as well in my freaking opinions anyways /at least.


So now then since this episode is an action episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and 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 OK at best. Which is a shame because the very idea f Doctor Strange fighting himself really does open it up to some really creative action scenes that this episode just doesn't take full advantage of in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall interms of emotional impact this episode is quite easily the best episode of this truly phenomenal show and it's one that I highly  recommend people go back and watch again just due to how good this episode is 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 that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very erns 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 the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.
