The Inbetweeners: First Day Review

 


I've reviewed both of the The Inbetweeners movies quite a few times by now however i've never taken a look at the actual show. Well that ends right as i've finally say down and watched an episode of the show just to see if it still holds up all of these many years later and so then join me as I review the first episode of The Inbetweeners TV show with the episode in question being called simply just "First Day" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Will McKenzie enters his first day at a public sith form school where he struggles to make new friends. 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 since it was a rather simple plot and really that's all you want from a sitcom plotline in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Simon Bird as Will McKenzie , James Buckley as Jay Cartwright and Blake Harrison as Neil Sutherland. Also starring in this episode is Joe Thomas as Simon Cooper , Henry Lloyd-Hughes as Mark Donovan , Anabel Barnston as Susie , John Seaward as John Webster , Greg Davies as Phil Gilbert , Richie Hart as David Glover , Emily Head as Carli D'Amato , Belinda Stewart-Wilson as Polly McKenzie , Alex Macqueen as Kevin Sutherland , Robin Weaver as Pamela Cooper and Ollie Holme as Tom.

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 really good with all four main boys not only turning good performances but they also have some really freaking great chemistry together as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



If your like me and you grew up around the time when this show was being released then you either a fan of this show or a fan of Skins. Very few of us were fans of both and I was a fan of both shows however I can very easily admit that this show is a more realistic approach to how teenagers are and act where as Skins takes a more fantastical approach to how teenagers act and are however both shows are very enjoyable shows and both shows deserve all of the love that they get in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


All of the kids in this show and in this episode are presented as relatable characters since everything that the characters go through are all things that teenagers themselves go through. Heck even the main four boys represent people that are present in alot of people's friend groups and so everybody knows somebody who is like these characters and that makes them and their stories seem all the more relatable because everybody can relate to at the very least one of this episodes characters in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I have to admit that this episode and this show wouldn't be made today since this show is so raunchy and this episode pulls no punches. Which are things that wouldn't fly today which is a shame because that's what makes this episode feel relatable since how the kids talk in this episode are how teenagers talk in real life and that makes this episode seem all the more funny because it now allows us to laugh at ourselfs in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


I will admit that there some things about this episode that I personally didn't like like for example the story which is rather thin at best. The other thing that I didn't like about this episode is the fact that absolutely none of the four boys are given anything likable about them which I get it that might be the point but at the same time when your creating a TV show even if your characters are being realistically you still need to give them something that's likable about their personality in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly twenty two minuets. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for any sitcom to last and to this episodes credit it really does last the perfect amount of time since it really doesn't have enough their in terms of plot to last anything longer then twenty two minuets in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all really good. With alot of this episodes jokes landing and getting a huge laugh out of me and while there are some unfunny jokes in this episode those are very few and far between with this episode containing alot more funny jokes then unfunny jokes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode still holds up really well which was something that I wasn't expecting to be the case and while there are a few issues with this episode this is still a very good and a very funny episode of this very funny TV show 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 and well then that means that this very episode 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 Skins fandom wiki page , the official The Inbetweeners 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 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.

The Addams Family "The Day Gomez Failed" Review

 

With Wednesday about to take centre stage in her very own live action TV show at some point soon I thought that it was only fitting that I take a look back at an episode from a classic animated Addams Family TV show. Well the one that i've picked isn't Wednesday focused infact she's barely even in the episode but it's also a fairly bad episode in general and so then join me as I review the episode that makes us wonder what The Addams Family would be like if it was to kid friendly with the episode in question being called simply just "The Day Gomez Failed" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is fed up of having success after success Gomez decides to try something new and become a failure. 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 entertaining the only issue that I have with this plot is that it doesn't go far enough with it's central idea which is a shame because the idea behind the episode is a really good idea indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is The Addams Family legend John Astin as Gomez Addams , Nancy Linari as Morticia Addams and Debi Derryberry as Wednesday. Also starring in this episode is Jeannie Elias as Pugsley , Rip Taylor as Uncle Fester , Carol Channing as Granny Frump , Jim Cummings as Lurch , Rob Paulsen as Norman Normanmeyer , Edie McClurg as Normina Normanmeyer and Dick Beals as N.J. Normanmeyer.

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 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 turning in some really good performances which is to be expected since all of this episodes cast are some really good actors and actresses and of course their going to turn in some good 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 Fil-Cartoons. 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 but that's also the issue because it's not that good either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


One thing that i've noticed about this show is how kid friendly it is which seems odd since this is a kids cartoon but at the same time when you think of The Addams Family you tend to think of something that's more for the whole family and not something that's just for little kids. Since making the show kids family takes the edge away from this franchise since we now know that all of the characters are never going to be in any serious harm because of the fact that this show is being aimed at kids and that does hurt this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

The one character who really does suffer from this in this episode is Wednesday who is acting so childlike and so kid friendly. Which isn't in character for her since she would pick the most painful way to torture Pugsley since that's how this family shows love to each other and with a more child friendly age rating they can't go as extreme as they did just one year prior with The Addams Family movie in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


This episode really doesn't go as far as it could do with it's central idea since it would be so cool and possibly even so funny to see Gomez succeed at doing even small jobs. Heck it would be funny just to see Gomez going more and more insane with each success that he has since that would be in his character to do that but for some strange reason this show just doesn't go as far as it could do with it's central idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and thirty five seconds. Which for a story that could be as good as this one is isn't a long enough running time you very easily could have gotten forty five minuets out of this one story alone and so then having this short amount of running time really does hurt the story of this episode since now the episode has to rush to hit all of it's plot points instead of hitting them more organically in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty pretty weak. With alot of this episodes jokes just falling flat which is a such because an IP like The Addams Family should be the easiest thing to write good and funny jokes for since it's all about the dark and the macabre and that makes it easy to write jokes for this property for in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this is a pretty bad episode from a pretty decent show and that's such a shame because the idea behind this episode is a really good and solid idea it's just the execution that let's this episode down in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then since 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 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 The Addams Family fandom wiki page , the official Netflix 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 The Addams Family wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

House Of The Dragon "The Rogue Prince" SPOILER FILLED Review

 


Game Of Thrones fans we are now officially back in the world of Westeros and well then since I had such a good time giving you my first impressions of this show last week I thought that i'd give you an actual review of an episode from this show. So then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the second episode of House Of The Dragon with the episode in question being called simply just "The Rogue Prince" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Prince Daemon continues his feud with his brother while Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen learns some very harsh truths about the realm. 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 since this episodes plot does a good job of not only setting up possible plotlines for future episodes but also following up on plots set up in the first episode of this show as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Paddy Considine as King Viserys I Targaryen and Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen. Also starring in this episode is Rhys Ifans as Ser Otto Hightower , Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon , Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Targaryen , Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria , Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole , Milly Alcock as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen , Emily Carey as Alicent Hightower , Graham McTavish as Ser Harrold Westerling , David Horovitch as Grand Maester Mellos , Bill Paterson as Lord Lyman Beesbury and Gavin Spokes as Lord Lyonel Strong.

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. Which is kind of a let down for me personally since this franchise has always had some really good acting in it and so then to see an episode where the acting isn't that good is kind of really freaking disheartening to me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Visualskies who I think are also doing the CGI for the entire show as well. 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 altho I will admit that some of the dragons did look a little bit cartoony in a few shots tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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



This episode gives us something that was very sorely missing from the first episode and that's the opening intro. However for some strange reason they kept the Game Of Thrones theme which while I do like the Game Of Thrones theme quite alot all it does is serve to remind me that I could be watching a much better show which is a shame because the visuals in the intro are quite visually stunning in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I will very much admit that I liked the concept of this shows opening intro since it shows us all around what assume is The Red Keep. Which is something that I rather liked since we got to see things that we didn't get to see in Game Of Thrones however I don't like that this shows intro basically just copied the concept behind the Game Of Thrones since it shows a complete and total lack of imagination and creativity in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


I can't describe why I feel this way but I get the feeling that Alicent Hightower is up to something just by her interactions with the King. Makes me think that she's either going to kill him or plot to kill him but I hope that i'm wrong since I would've just pointed out a huge plot point if i'm right and plus I really like this character but so far she's the only one that's got me thinking that there's something more to her then meets the eye which might be a really cool thing depending on how the show goes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty minuets and twenty seven seconds. Which really did fly by since this episode really did have more then enough there interms of plot to cover that running time and it really did help things that the episode was really good and as such I didn't really feel this episodes running time which is always a very good thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is a drama that means that I have to talk about the actual drama 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 drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode doing a very good job of spreading out it's more dramatic moments and presenting them in a way that feels totally organic and not at all forced in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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


Overall this episode was a bit of a let down from the first episode but given that this is a TV series that is something that's to be expected since not every single episode of any TV show can be perfect 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 freaking 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 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.

She-Hulk: Attorney At Law "Superhuman Law" SPOILER FILLED Review

 


Marvel fans since She-Hulk premiered last week and the first episode wasn't all that good I thought that i'd do something that I hadn't do before and that's do a review of the seconds episode. Simply because of the fact that I wanted to get a better feel for what the show was going to be like and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the second episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law with the episode in question being called simply just "Superhuman Law" enjoy.

The plot of this episode Jennifer is tasked with interviewing a new client one which has a connection to Bruce's past. 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 doing a good job of setting up the storyline for the rest of the freaking show as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk and Josh Segarra as Augustus Pugliese. Also starring in this episode is Ginger Gonzaga as Nikki Ramos , Mark Linn-Baker as Morris Walters , Tess Malis Kincaid as Elaine Walters , Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / The Hulk , Steve Coulter as Holden Holliway , Candice Rose as Melanie , Michael H. Cole as Tucker , Nicholas Cirillo as Ched and Drew Matthews as Dennis Bukowski.

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. Which is something that i'm glad is becoming a trend with this show since good acting is something that should always be freaking loved in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the CGI for this episode is Capital T , FuseFX , the legendary  Industrial Light & Magic , Trixter and Wylie Co.. 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 he actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad however I did notice at least one or two shots that looked a little to cartoonish in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!! 




I have to admit that now that i've had a week to think on it I really don't like how there doing She-Hulk's origin story for this show. Since her origin should be something that pain Bruce to do since he either knows or has a feeling that he'd passing on this curse to her just take a look at the 1996 The Incredible Hulk animated TV series that told that exact same story only it did it better since you got to see the pain in Bruce's eyes as he was forced into making this life changing choice in order to save Jennifer's life and that's something that would have made for a fantastic sequence in this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

You might have noticed that i've not listed one actor and that's the great Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky / The Abomination. Who in this show is given a more comedic edge that we got to see in his film debut in 2008's The Incredible Hulk which was something that I liked since it actually made sense to me that after all of these years in prison that he would develop a sense of humour and his reintroduction to the MCU does open it up to the idea of past villains coming back in new and interesting ways in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


I will admit that this episode is alot better then the first one simply because of the fact that this episode actually gives us the stakes and plot for this show which is something that episode one didn't give us. That being said however Jennifer herself still isn't written all that well since She-Hulk is someone who Jennifer always wants to be as it gives us confidence to overcome things that she couldn't overcome as Jennifer and that is something that is not being represented in this show thus far in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty seven minuets and forty nine seconds. Which when you take out both the opening and the ending credits only leaves us with twenty minuets of a TV show and that's not enough time to do this show any kind of justice since in order to do this show and this episodes storyline any kind of justice this episode would absolutely need to have been at the very least forty five minuets to one hour long in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this show is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy 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 comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty mostly bad. Since barring one or two jokes there are alot of jokes in this episode that just aren't that funny which for a comedy is not a goo thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!


Overall while this episode is vastly better then episode one this is still a pretty average episode but on the plus side that means that this show has nowhere to go but up 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 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.

Doctor Who: Black Orchid Review

 


Doctor Who fans yes i'm very fully aware of the fact that it's been quite a while since I last reviewed an episode from season nineteen. However in my defence I just like taking my time with this season since this season is the season that feels the most cosey and so i'm just reviewing as and when I want to and so then join me as I review the episode that both Peter Davison and Janet Fielding don't like with the freaking episode in question being called simply just "Black Orchid" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor and his companions are caught up in a murder mystery one which sees The Doctor himself as the prime suspect. 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 pretty bad with this episodes plot being very thin at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is of course Peter Davison as The Doctor , Matthew Waterhouse as Adric and Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Ann Talbot. Also starring in this episode is Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka , Michael Cochrane as Lord Cranleigh , Barbara Murray as Lady Cranleigh , Gareth Milne as The Unknown , Moray Watson as Sir Robert Muir , Ivor Salter as Sergeant Markham , Andrew Tourell as Constable Cummings , Ahmed Khalil as Latoni , Brian Hawksley as Brewster and Timothy Block as Tanner.

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 the series main cast turning in some good performances but the series guest cast do turn in some fairly over the top performances in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



As I mentioned when crediting the cast for this episode this episode features Sarah Sutton in a duel role as both her regular role of Nyssa and as new character Ann Talbot. With her playing both characters rather wonderfully and what really does help is the fact that she makes both characters so differently from each other that even casual Doctor Who fans would be able to tell which character is which in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


This was the episode that introduced The Doctors love of cricket which is something that Peter Davison reportedly loved as it justified The Doctors costume. I personally didn't mind the cricket sequence as it was a rather fun sequence in this story however given that this story is only two episodes long there really shouldn't have been a sequence like this in the episode as every would have to be about either setting up the plot of the story or about advancing the plot of the story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

If people were to tell me that they didn't like this story wasn't there favourite story or that they didn't like this story I would totally see where they were coming from. Since this story is so forgettable at the best of times and the episodes script just isn't up to scratch which might be because this script was commissioned when the show didn't have a script editor and by the time one was hired it would have most likely have been to late for any kind if major rewrites to be done to the script in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode does have a really cool reveal which i'm not going to reveal here since the episode is worth seeing just for the reveal alone. However I will admit that the reveal would have been a bit better if there where more clues spread all throughout the story as to what was actually going on since that would mean that the reveal doesn't come out of nowhere which is always a very good thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes grand total running time even was I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly forty nine minuets. Which is such an incredibly short amount of time for this episode to have since you very easily could have gotten four or six episodes out of this one story alone and with that added time it would mean that all of the very underdeveloped characters could now be a bit mre three dimensional 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 action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Since it was something that was very well built up and so then when there was some action it really did feel earned in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this is a rather forgettable episode which is a shame because it's big reveal is a really good idea and it's one that could have been more impactful if the episode had alot more time to tell it's in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the good things 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 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 , 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.

My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions Of The House Of The Dragon TV Series

 


Game Of Thrones fans the day has finally arrived since the very first episode of House Of The Dragon has indeed launched and well you all just knew that I was going to check out this episode the very first chance that I got. This is a show that i've been super excited to see and well let's just say that i'm little disappointed and so then join me as I give you my spoiler filled first impressions of the show that is the first piece of expanded media from the Game Of Thrones TV series with the series in question being called simply just "House Of The Dragon" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is nine years into the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen his brother finally shows his face in Westeros and a shocking choice is made. 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 doing a very good job of setting up alot of it's characters in ways that feel very naturel and organic in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen and Paddy Considine as King Viserys I Targaryen. Also starring in this episode is Rhys Ifans as Ser Otto Hightower , Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon , Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Targaryen , Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole , Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria , Milly Alcock as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen , Sian Brooke as Queen Aemma Arryn , Emily Carey as Alicent Hightower , Michael Carter as King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and Graham McTavish as Ser Harrold Westerling.

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. Which for a Game Of Thrones is to be expected and it's good to see that this series seems to be carrying n the tradition of having some very good acting in it's episodes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the CGI for this episode is Visualskies , MPC Episodic , Outpost VFX an the legends and the greats that are currently over at Pixomondo. 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 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 but there was one or two very dodgy looking CGI shots which do stand out quite a mile in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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




To me this show thus far at least seems to be alot more like Game Of Thrones season one interms of it's directing but not interms of it's writing. Since even tho this episode is very well written it feels alot like the writing that we'd get in Game Of Thrones season five through to eight with scenes not really going anywhere for the vast majority of the episode and characters personalities not really being explained or even explored in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I have to admit that so far this show seems to be repeating an awful lot of what was done in Game Of Thrones season one. Which I don't really mind since this is only the first episode but when you have alot of scenes in this episode that where done so much better in Game Of Thrones season one then you have to wonder why those scenes were even included in this very episode since all they serve to do is remind you of a much better product in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


If there's one thing that Game Of Thrones is famous for it's shocking deaths of characters however those deaths usually come a bit later on in the season. However this show kills of Queen Aemma Arryn within the first thirty five minuets to forty minuets of this first episode and as such her death looses all of it's emotional impact just because we really haven't had the time to form a connection with this character and as such I thing that this characters death as shocking as it is would have worked alot better if it happened in episode nine of this shows first season in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and two minuets and forty nine seconds. Which is a great amount of time for this episode to last since even tho the world that this show takes place in was already set up and established in Game Of Thrones it still has a whole bunch of characters to set and to establish and that's only something that can be done and done well due to this episodes long running time since it allows the episode to breathe and for the characters to be introduced in a more organic and naturel way in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since there is an awful lot of 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 to us in this very episode was in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Since this episodes action felt very raw which they do explain since they do say that the soldiers in this episode haven't been in a war and so they don't know how to fight properly which was a nice little addition to the story and to the action in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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


Overall this wasn't a bad first episode and so far this show does seem to be an awful lot better then Game Of Thrones season eight but that's not really saying all of that much 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 post and since this is only my first impressions of the show I won't be giving this show a rating since any show can have a good or bad first episode but I will do a review of this show at some point in the future.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post 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 post 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.

My SPOILER FREE First Impressions Of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law

 


Marvel fans after knocking it out of the park with the release of I Am Groot last week the house of ideas is back with yet another new live action TV series. I will have to admit that this is a show that i've been pretty excited to see just because I just wanted to see how they did this character in live action and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE first impressions of the show TV show that introduces a new family member to Bruce Banners family with the TV show in question being called simply just "She-Hulk: Attorney At Law" enjoy.

The plot of this show so far at least is virtually non-existent with this first episode not really having a plot to speak of. Which is to be expected since the first first episode of any new TV show is all about setting up the main cast characters for the show and giving us a feel of what the show is going to be like however I still would liked to have seen a plot play out in this first episode since it would then hopefully give you a reason to check out episode two of this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk and The Good Place star Jameela Jamil as Mary MacPherran / Titania. Also starring in this episode is Ginger Gonzaga as Nikki Ramos , Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / The Hulk , Steve Coulter as Holden Holliway , Drew Matthews as Dennis Bukowski , Brandon Hirsch as Defence Lawyer and George Bryant as Judge Price.

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 in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episodes cast quite clearly trying to make this episodes script work for them but the issue is tho that this episodes script gives this cast nothing to work with interms of their character and their characters personalities in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



Doing the CGI for this episode and possibly even this show is Capital T and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Trixter. 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 a very mixed bag of affairs since we do get one or two decent looking CGI effects but those are very quickly followed up by one or two very bad looking CGI effects in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  



This really isn't a spoiler since its not about the main plot of the episode but this episode has a very similar tone to the first Deadpool movie. Since we do see jokes that we'd see Deadpool make heck there's even some uncensored jokes which would feel right at home in a Deadpool movie but here they just feel out of place just because the rest of the MCU is the complete opposite of Deadpool at least interms of the jokes that they tell in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

After a good few years of having new shows premier on Wednesdays this show is for strange reason coming out on Thursdays. Which I can see alot of people getting confused by just because they are so used to watching a new Marvel show coming out on Wednesdays however tho this does make the wait for the next show to start all the more worthwhile and meaningful since we now have to wait just that little bit longer for a new show to start in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


When this show was first being promoted alot was being made about it's CGI and while like I said the CGI in the episode isn't that bad. It still doesn't take away from the issue at hand which is we now know why the CGI in the recent the MCU movies has been so bad because it's due to the fact that Marvel / Disney treats the VFX artists so badly often changing shots months away from release which for a VFX artist is not a good thing since it means that you have to do alot of work and alot of late nights all in the space of a month in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

No then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly thirty five minuets and twenty two seconds. Which I think does make this episode one of the more shorter MCU TV show episodes and if true then this episode could have been alot longer since then if it was longer they could have set up what the actual plot of the show was going to be which since this show is only going to have a handful of episodes setting up the plot of the show is something that it really needs to be doing within the next episode or two in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then since this 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 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. Altho this episodes final action sequence felt like a very bad wrestling match with one major bitch which if you've seen the episode you'll know exactly what I mean and once you see it you really can't unseen any of freaking it at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this wasn't a bad first episode and this show does have the potential to be a good show but so far it's not of to a good start and time will only tell if this show will be able to reach it's fullest potential 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 post and since this isn't a review of either the show or the episode itself I won't be giving out a rating but if i'm still watching this show then i'll review when the final episode does infact air or even get released online.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post 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 post from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and the official X-Men Movies fandom wiki page. 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.
