Muppet Classic Theater Film Review


The Muppets have been apart of great many a different pieces of media out there ranging from movies to TV shows and many more. Yet there's always one piece of media that great many people seem to either always forget about or just straight up don't know about and it's that very piece of media that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today and so then join me as I review the film that sees The Muppets retell six classic stories in classic Muppet fashion with the film in question being  called simply just "Muppet Classic Theater" enjoy.

This is the only piece of Muppet media where there isn't a plot to the film to speak with the idea of the film being The Muppets putting on six stories and that's really it. With that idea being strong enough to carry a film like this one as this is a film that doesn't really require a plot to speak but at the same time tho it would have been nice if the film did have a plot as there's really no reason as to why The Muppets are putting on in this show in the first with it just happening for no reason whatever and that is not usually how The Muppets do things as even in the movies and the TV shows they usually explain what the set ups are and why there doing what there doing and as such it comes across as being weird and out of place that they wouldn't do that in this film when it was something that while it wasn't needed it would have helped to make the idea stronger as any reason given would feel in character for The Muppets and heck you could even say that there doing a special episode of The Muppet Show or that these stories are unused ideas from the various Muppet movies just something would have worked but at the same time tho this is film that really doesn't require a plot as the idea of these characters telling six classic stories is more then enough to sell people on this film with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Dave Goelz as Gonzo The Great , Randy Pig and Elvis and Jerry Nelson as Robin The Frog , Big Bad Wolf , Loyal Royal Advisor , The Royal Jester and Montague The Rat
Steve Whitmire as Rizzo The Rat , Kermit The Frog and Beaker , Frank Oz as Miss Piggy , Fozzie Bear , Sam Eagle and Animal , Bill Barretta as Bailiff and Elvis , Julianne Buescher as Yolanda The Rat , Brian Henson as Andy Pig , Elvis , Eugene The Mink and Sheep , Bruce Lanoil as The Royal Jeweller and Allan Trautman as Father Pig , The Royal Doctor , Banker and Villager.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of the actors playing the Muppet characters turning in some really good performances in this film which is something that does make sense as alot of them have been playing there characters for decades and nearly all of them would go on to play there respective characters for years to come and so it does make sense that they would turn in some really good performances in this film as they really would know how best to perform there respective characters and what kind of performances would best suit there respective characters as well and while the acting in this film won't ever compare to the acting in the main Muppet movies it is still interesting to hear these classic Muppet voices in a little known piece of Muppet media as it really does show you that these actors really are a bunch of good actors in there own right as well with the acting that's in this film really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out f them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.


As was mentioned at the very start of this review this film has The Muppets tell six different classic stories. With those stories being The Three Little Pigs , King Midas , The Boy Who Cried Wolf , Rumpelstiltskin , The Emperor's New Clothes and The Elves And The Shoemaker with all three stories having some of the classic chaos that you usually think of when you think of The Muppets with all six stories also making some changes to the stories to make them more kid friendly which is something that does make alot of sense as alot of the stories that are featured in this film don't exactly have endings that kids would like and so making those kinds of changes does somewhat make sense but at the same time tho given just how closely The Muppets stuck to A Christmas Carol it really does make you wonder why they didn't stick closely to the original stories in this film as well as kids will understand the moral of each story as they have done for hundreds of years and by making the stories more kid friendly then all your doing is just talking down to your audience and that is something that Jim Henson himself wouldn't never do as he only made things for the whole family to enjoy and this film is one that really could have been made for thee whole family and not just little kids as then you really can have the more mature themes and writings of the original stories but you can also do it in a way that better suits The Muppets brand as well and yet by doing the exact opposite of that all your doing is harming the story that your really trying to replicate and not not doing any kind of justice to the original story itself either.


If you thought that The Muppets At Walt Disney World looked really cheap then you have seen nothing yet. As this film does look cheaper then that special as at least in that special that at least made the effort to hide the rods controlling the characters hands alot of the time where as here you see them alot of the time and while that special had the excuse of the fact that it was being filmed on location actually at Walt Disney World itself and so they of course couldn't get things to look just exactly right for the characters here the whole hing is set on a stage in a theater and yet it still looks cheap just because your doing something that basically direct o video doesn't mean that you have to make it look like a direct video special if anything The Muppets have proven that they can make something that's cheap look expensive just look at The Muppet Show as a key example of that and yet here everything just looked cheap and while that does indeed make some sort of sense given the premise of the film there still should have been some small amount of effort to make this film really look a bit more expensive then what it actually was even if it's just by doing something simple like making sure that we can't see the rods controlling the characters hands as don't forget in this world these characters really are meant to be real people and yet by showing us the rods controlling the hands all it does is remind us that there puppets and that's really it and while it is a small thing it is also something that would make the film look a bit more dearer to make as it would show that some thought and effort actually went into making this film.

For some strange reason this film really likes having Kermit The Frog as the main character in alot of the stories. As the character does appear in quite alot of them and nine times out of ten he's the main character which I guess makes sense from marketing stand point as Kermit was there most popular character in the nineties but the same time tho there are other Muppet characters that could have used some attention as well like the fact that even tho they have Animal appear once in one story they don't have the rest of The Electric Mayhem which does make sense as they really didn't feature them a whole lot after the death of Jim Henson with them mostly appearing in silent cameo roles and that's really it but it still would have been nice to see them pop up as the Elves in the final story since Rizzo thinks the Elves are Elvis anyway it would have made perfect sense for them to show up there even Rowlf The Dog could have played the part of the Big Bad Wolf just because you can use Kermit doesn't mean that you should always use him and heck even for the first story in which Kermit is the main character would have been even funnier if the main character was played by the vain Link Hogthrob as King Midas is meant to be this selfless character it would have been quite funny to see someone vain play him with the only story that's right for Kermit as a character being The Elves And The Shoemaker as that's the kind of story where Kermit always has done and always will do work best.


If your gong into this film expecting to see alot of the classic Muppet characters then be prepared to be disappointed. Due to the fact that not alot of the classic Muppets characters were used all that much in the nineties with this film even featuring two characters who would play a bigger role in Muppets Tonight with Randy and Andy playing the main roles in The Three Little Pigs story and while the classic Muppet character do indeed show up alot of the time the only ones that have any real impact on the film are Gonzo , Rizzo , Kermit , Miss Piggy , Robin The Frog and Fozzie and even then Fozzie only appears in the The Emperor's New Clothes and that's rally it with alot of the characters featured in this film being either new characters all together or very little known characters which both does and doesn't make sense it does make sense in the way that the Jim Henson Company can introduce more new characters and thus keep the brand going a little bit longer but it doesn't make sense because nobody knows who these characters and the characters are just coming of the hugely successful The Muppets Christmas Carol so wouldn't it make more sense to use the characters that played roles in that film which was alot of the classic characters as those are the characters that this new kid audience would be more familiar with instead of introducing new characters that the audience doesn't really know or even care about for that matter.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and eight minuets and forty nine seconds. Which is a perfectly solid running time for this film to have as this film really doesn't have a plot to speak of whatsoever and as such there really no need for this film to be all that long as all it needs to do is just tell six short stories ad that's really it and that's something that this film can and does do beautifully with it's current running time and while it would have been nice if this film was just a little bit longer just so that the film could then get across as to why The Muppets are putting on a stage show and maybe include more of the classic characters as well let's be real here the film target kid audience isn't going to care about any of that as all there going to care about is seeing Kermit and the gang doing what they do best only now it's on a direct to video film budget ad not a big screen film budget and to that extent this film really does gave the perfect running as this current running time will be long enough to keep little kids entertained but isn't so long as they'll get bored however when you attach The Muppets name to something your always going to get some adults watching it as well and as such explaining why The Muppets are doing what there doing and having things for the adults really would have helped this film out in the longer run as well but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually feature / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. As it was the kind of the comedy that does work well with The Muppets but at the same time tho alot of this films comedy just felt like it was to dumbed down and is clearly an example of The Muppets not at there best as while yes there are one or two decent jokes in this film like the fact that Rizzo keeps mistaking the Elves for Elvis in the final story and then proceeding to dress them up like him when he sees that they act exactly like him is a good idea and good joke but at the same time tho the film is filled to the brim with far to many fourth wall breaks so much so that it becomes more distracting then it is funny as there's only so long that a fourth wall breaking joke can be funny and this film found that limit and then pushed past it quite early on and because of that the fourth wall breaking jokes that should have been funny stopped being funny because we the audience get so used to seeing them in this film but when this film film does tell a really good joke it is a rally funny joke but you just have to sit through alot of bad ones to get to the one or good jokes in this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall it's quite easy to see not alot of people talk about this film is it really is just that bad and while it's not as bad as say The Muppets At Walt Disney World is or even Muppets Tonight for that matter for example this film is one that doesn't feel like The Muppets as while yes it has all of the iconic characters there but it's lacking that special charm that they usually bring to all of the The Muppets media even the bad ones as well for that matter 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 film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn 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 Muppets fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very post being the really great the official The Muppets fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them being better quality then what'd think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Star Trek: Section 31 Film Review


For some reason Paramount right now has trouble getting a new Star Trek movie off of the ground that is unless it's based off of Star Trek TV series that not alot of people actually like in the first place. Which really is very much the case with this film as this film is a spin off film from a TV show that's not that well liked by alot of Star Trek fans and so then join me as I review the film that is basically Oceans Eleven but in space with the film in question being called simply just "Star Trek: Section 31" enjoy.

The plot of this film is really hard to wok out as the film basically has no plot to it whatsoever which is the first of many things wrong with this film. As by not having a plot then you rob your film of reason of existing and while yes there is a hint of plot explained at the start of the film with something needing finding but that's really it and the film never really touched upon that in any meaningful way which makes it feel like an afterthought when it's something that really should have been treated as the main plot of the film. It's this kind of thinking and logic that only hits home that Paramount has no idea what there doing with Star Trek as they've left it in the hands of people that have no clue what there doing instead of giving it to people who are actually fans of the franchise and would there for want to turn in something that's not only watchable but actually good but where as here it comes across as being made by people who just wanted to cash a check as this films plot is a about as far away from Star Trek as you can get and while the idea of doing something that's basically Oceans Eleven but set in the world of Star Trek is a good idea you still need to have an actual plot to make it work and because of the fact that this film is missing a plot then the whole idea just doesn't work as well as it really should have done with the plot of this film not really being really rather entertaining and as well as being not really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is one of this films executive producers Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou and Omari Hardwick as Alok. Also starring in this film is Kacey Rohl as Rachel Garrett , Sam Richardson as Quasi , Sven Ruygrok as Fuzz , Warcraft ad Captain Marvel star Robert Kazinsky as Zeph , Humberly González as Melle , James Hiroyuki Liao as San and Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis as The Voice Of Control.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / resented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Which for this film having something that's not that bad in it is a god send as while the actors in this film do there best not even they can save this film and to be clear Michelle Yeoh is pretty much awsome in everything that she's in and can pretty much save anything that she's in because f the fact that she's just that good of an actress and while she does turn in a good performance in this film not even she can make this stinker of a film passable as everything surrounding this film is just that bad with it being clear as day that this films director Olatunde Osunsanmi really has no clue how to get a good performance out of his actors which makes sense given that he's directed several episodes of Star Trek: Discovery with nothing that he's worked on getting any kind of positive reviews whatsoever with the acting that's in this film not really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.



Doing the CGI for this film really is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Cause And FX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad given that this film is a made for TV film with it being clear as day that Paramount Pictures gave this film a big budget just so that they could afford some decent looking and FX and it really was money well spent as all of this films CGI really does look really good and while granted it won't ever look as good as the more recent theatrically released Star Trek films given the fact that this is basically a made for TV movie this films CGI could have looked alot more worse then what it does with alot of the credit going to Cause And FX as it does come across as them not only knowing what there doing but also knowing the world of Star Trek and knowing the level of effects quality that those films usually attract and while they won't ever be able to replicate or even reach that level of quality on a made for TV show budget that didn't stop them from taking a massive swing and at least trying to reach the high quality bar of the effects from the more recently theatrically released Star Trek films as this films CGI is just that good.


For some strange reason even tho the casts of the last three Star Trek movies have been trying for years to get a fourth film made. Paramount instead chose to make a film spin off of a Star Trek that not alot of Star Trek fans actually like and while basing a film off of what is more then likely the most popular character to come from Star Trek: Discovery what doesn't make sense is to make a movie from that show when you have a perfectly good set of actors who have already starred in three Star Trek movies to begin with all of whom are begging Paramount Pictures to pick a script for the fourth film and get that fourth film made in the first place which they very easily could have done as they have alot of scripts for that fourth movie being worked on and yet they instead chose to make a made for TV movie based off of a show that caused alot of division amongst the Star Trek fanbase which makes no sense it would make sense if Star Trek: Discovery was popular enough to warrant a movie being made about but it was never that popular in the first place with it only just scrapping by and only just getting renewed alot of the time and while it's not needed to watch that show to understand this movie you should at least have a basic knowledge of the Emperor Philippa Georgiou character which even then really isn't all that needed to watch this film and to understand what's exactly going on in this film either.

Much like with Moana 2 this film also started life as a TV show but unlike Moana 2 where it at least had a through line running through the movie. This film doesn't even have that going for it which makes the fact that it was originally planned to be a TV show even more obvious then what it was in Moana 2 as here you can quite literally tell where it was going to go to a commercial break or when an episode would have ended which makes it look like that they had already filmed episodes of the show but then cancelled it and decided to edit together whatever footage that they had shot together into a movie which makes the movie come across as being a mess of a film and it's really something that should have been tackled early on into development as if the makers of this film did that then they would have released that they have a huge problem of a movie on there hands and can at least make changes to fix the problems that people have with this movie but since they actively chose not to do that and just straight up not promote this movie at all it means that not only do they have a really bad movie on there hands but that they also have a movie that won't do any kind of numbers for Paramount+ either as next to nobody even knows about this movie and so that means that the people who might have liked this movie in the first place will more then likely not know about it because of the fact that it was so poorly promoted by Paramount Pictures.


There are a few things that this film doesn't really fail at the first of which is the fact that alot of the new characters do seem like interesting characters and could be good characters should they appear in more Star Trek media. The second of which is the fact that this film could be considered a film that's so bad that it's good as while the film doesn't give any of the new characters a chance to shine or even get across what they bring to the team what it does do is create a film that is so bad that you can't help but watch it and while people's enjoyment of this film will very much depend on how much that they liked Star Trek: Discovery this is a film that will go down by many fans as a film that is at the very least entertainingly bad as all we the audience are there doing is just sitting there wondering just how badly that they can mess this film up even further even on the most basic levels of film making and then when they reach those levels and mess up even more things like the fact that even tho this film really should have been an Oceans Eleven movie but set in space they instead treated as being like Mission Impossible but in space and that is something that just doesn't work but is still fun to see with this film having a good idea but just not going all the way with it something that they very easily could have done if they stuck with there original idea and kept it as a TV show since then they could fully develop all of the new characters and give all of the characters and not just Michelle Yeoh as chance to shine as this is a film that really should have been an ensemble film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty five minuets and twelve seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for a made for a TV movie but it's also the shortest Star Trek movie to date as alot of them clock in at around the two hour mark with this film not even having enough there interms of plot to cover it's own running time as it's more busy on trying to sell us on the idea of more Section 31 movies and shows then it is on being a good movie with a plot and as this movie has no plot to speak off it really does make the movie feel like chore to sit through as all your left wondering is when the plot of the movie will actually begin and all you left doing is watching the characters just doing random things for no apparent reason and these are issues that could have very easily have been fixed if they bothered to hire a directed who actually directed hit movies instead of movies that all got negative reviews and had a production team that actually cared about the franchise instead of hiring the same production team that ran the franchise into the ground with Star Trek: Discovery but because neither of that happened we are instead stuck with a movie that is longer then what it really needed to be as there's no reason for this movie in it's current shape to be this long in the first place and a production that have made it quite clear as day that they don't care about Star Trek but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action film that really does mean that I gave t actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. As it's always a great time when you get to see Michelle Yeoh kicking butt in a movie and she really does get alot of really good action scenes in this film to showcase what she can still do but that's also the problem as alot of the films action does showcase everything that Michelle Yeoh can do but it's all stuff that we've seen before in other movies and TV shows and a  result of that is the fact that it feels more like a show real for Michelle Yeoh then it does an actual action movie as none of this films new characters get a chance to showcase what they can do and because of that as impressive as this films action can be at times it all just feels very formulaic and like there just going through the motions when what they should have done is give the new characters some action scenes as that would then make the films action feel more different and would offer a verity of action scenes instead of just having one person take the lead in all of the films which is great for the trailers but it does also mean that this films action can get repetitive at times you know what's going to happen next before it even happens something that wouldn't be true if some of the films new characters took the lead in the action and that would would then give us the audience a chance to see just what it is they bring to the team as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall out of all the more recent Star Trek movies ever made this is easily the worst one as there really was no effort put into making this film at least really somewhat watchable and while this film might be a film that's so bad that it's good it's really also a film that really does fail to do even the most basic of film making things as well 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 film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 2 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images hat 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 Star Trek fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: The Celestial Toymaker Review


To say that the Doctor Who animation line has been a huge success would be a huge understatement as it's been going on for well over ten years now. With the latest missing episode to be fully animated having just been released on DVD and Blu-Ray and well since there is a little tradition on this blog with me reviewing them as soon as I can do you all just knew that I had to check this episode the very first chance that I got and so then join me as i review that sees The Doctor play games with the episode in question being called simply just "The Celestial Toymaker" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Doctor , Steven and Dodo find themselves at the mercy of a bring known only as The Toymaker then the trio must complete various games in order to escape him once and for all. 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 rather on the weak side of things as it was hard to tell what the actual plot of the episode was even meant to be at times as it just felt like that the writer was just making stuff up as he went along but with that being said tho this episodes plot did show moments of greatness like the fact that The Toymaker can seemingly travel to anywhere he wants at will which would have made for a really sequence in the plot of the episode but for some reason the episode is instead more focused on Steven and Dodo and them trying to get the Tardis back then it is in actually telling a really well done plot and while the stuff with Steven and Dodo is good to see in small doses here it takes away screen time from The Doctor who feels like an afterthought and while yes there are logistical reasons for this it also has the add on effect of making this episodes plot just seem random and weird for the sake of being random and weird with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is William Hartnell as The Doctor , Peter Purves as Steven Taylor and Jackie Lane as Dodo Chaplet. Also starring in this episode is Peter Stephens as Cyril , Knave Of Hearts and The Kitchen Boy , Campbell Singer as Joey , King Of Hearts and Sergeant Rugg , Carmen Silvera as Clara , Queen Of Hearts and Mrs. Wiggs , Reg Lever as Joker and Batman star Michael Gough as The Toymaker.

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 really good. Which considering who is playing The Doctor and who is playing the The Toymaker isn't something that's all that surprising even more so when you take into account that the actors playing the shows main leads at this point had been in the show for quite a while at this point with even William Hartnell having been in the role of The Doctor since episode one of the show and so it is understandable that they would turn in good performances in this episode as they really would have known how best to perform there respective characters and how there respective characters would act in any given situation but what lets the acting down quite a bit is that the acting that fro those that are playing the characters that are servants of The Toymaker as there acting does come across as being quite wooden and robotic at times which fair enough might be the point but it is still something that does effect this episodes acting quality with the acting that's in this episode also not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does help to lower the overall quality if the acting that's in this very episode.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Shapeshifter Studios. 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 at the same time tho it also wasn't all that good either as while the 3D CGI does allow for the lip movements to be better matched then what they previously could have been it also gives us alot of freaky imagery and overall just looks cheap and while having freaky looking imagery is kind of the point given that this episode takes place in a world where next to nothing makes sense it does also make the product look off putting as well and while doing this episode in particular in this style does indeed make sense as this story does allow itself to have some creatively creepy looking visuals it's not a style that would work for all classic Doctor Who stories which means that if the BBC are to go this route for more animated episodes then they are going to have make sure that the story that they are animating requires visuals that look this creepy as otherwise all your going to do is just put people off of buying these DVD's and Blu-Ray as after all who is going to want to buy a DVD or a Blu-Ray that has alot of really creepy looking animation and characters designs in it.


As of this writing there is only one episode of this story still with us and that is episode four "The Final Test" which is in all honesty the best of the bunch. As that's the episode that has the most tension and actually features more of William Hartnell in it but at the same time tho it would be nice if the rest of this episode was to be found just so that we the audience can actually see this episode the way that was intended to be seen and not have to rely on somebody else doing the animation for it but given that the remaining three episodes are lost at best ad at worst destroyed it means that for now this animation is the closet that we'll get to ever seeing this story in it's completed form but with that said given just how average the rest of this episode is maybe it's best that the rest of this serial is lost as that means that people that are watching this show just to complete it can watch one solid episode instead of watching three average episodes and one solid episode as all that does is bring the overall viewing experience down quite alot as while there are some entertaining aspects in these first three episodes there all lacking that certain something that makes them feel like a Doctor Who episode where as the fourth episode whilst it is still lacking that extra special it at least has a tense final act where you don't really know what's going to happen next and it's that aspect of the episode that does make it better then the other episodes of this story.

What was really strange about this story is the fact that The Doctor barely features in it and while yes they do have a logistical reason for that in that William Hartnell booked a two week holiday it still creates this rather odd situation where we the audience are left watching The Doctor's hand in alot of his scenes and because of the fact that The Toymaker has also taken away his ability to talk as well as make him invisible we don't hear him either. As a result of that is the fact that The Doctor isn't as proactive in the plot as this version of the character was alot of the time as here he's just sitting back and watching his friends go from one dangerous game to the next instead of trying to find out ways no matter how small that they are to help them and it's not like in alot of other stories from around this same time period where if the actor playing The Doctor took a holiday that you really don't miss the character in the any of the story that they were filming at the time here because of the fact that they continuously cut back to The Doctor and The Toymaker playing there game us the audience really do miss The Doctor as a character and while William Hartnell's health was in a sharp decline at the time of filming the makers of this show really should have come up with a way to keep his version of The Doctor present and proactive and not have him literally disappear for two our of the the four episodes and while they did have a plan to have the character come back but played by a different actor and idea that was very quickly shot down it does show that they also really were onto something as they'd basically do the exact same thing when William Hartnell regenerated into Patrick Troughton as the end of The Tenth Planet a year later.


One of the more brighter aspects of this episodes is that of The Toymaker himself who is just such a gleefully menacing villain. With the character having the power to do whatever he chooses to whomever he chooses which means that when are characters are playing a game for there life then should they loose then they could become one of his servants and be remain trapped with him forever and it also means that all of our characters have remain on there toes as you never really know what The Toymaker is going to do next and what he's going through at you next something that the episode The Giggle actually got right as The Toymaker is the most unpredictable person in the room and yet the smartest person in the room in fact at one point script editor Donald Tosh actually said that The Toymaker was going to be revealed as a member of The Doctor's own race of people which is something that does make sense as even in this episode both The Toymaker and The Doctor say that they've met each other before this episode and so it would make sense for him to be a member of the Time Lords and heck you could even consider him the prototype for The Master as the two of them do share many similar characteristics as well and while The Master might be the better written villain it is still interesting to see the same kind of character actually debuted in the show about five years or so before he made his debut during the Jon Pertwee of Doctor Who.

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 really does have an exact grand total running of roughly one hour and forty minuets. Which each episode being around about twenty five minuets in length with the story as a whole being four episodes in length which does work well enough in this episode as this episode really does have the absolutely right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time with it also being the right amount of episodes as well as there's no way in heck that you could stretch this story out even by one extra episode as the plot of the episode could end up being stretched thin and each episode in this story would start to become a bit repetitive at that point in time as well but at the same time tho with the extra running time it would mean that we'd get William Hartnell back in the plot of the episode much more sooner then what we already do in this episode and as a result of that is the fact that it would mean that The Doctor himself would be able to come alot more proactive in the episodes plot instead of just standing there playing a game with The Toymaker but tho that would mean that alot of the episodes would feel like filler and would ultimately end up hurting the story as a whole rather then helping it but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually feature / presented to us inn this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. As even tho alot of this episodes action does come in the form of whatever game that the characters of Steven and Dodo are playing at the time it is fun trying to see them work out not only The Toymakers riddles but also how to survive this game just so that they can become one step closer to getting the TARDIS back with the best game in the whole episode being the hopscotch game as that game at least in this episode gets very intense as your just waiting for the games villain Cyril to play some sort of dirty trick on Steven and Dodo and just seeing it build and build to the point where you can't wait to see there next scene was something that was really done but what let the action down in this episode is the fact that it's not really made all that clear just how The Toymaker lost his game with The Doctor as it is something that does get a bit confusing and it makes there battle of the minds seem more like an after thought which is something that does make alot of sense as The Doctor himself was oddly enough treated like an after thought in this very episode as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall while it is great to finally see this story in it's entirety this story is just nothing more then an average story that could have been done alot better this is despite the fact that even for classic Doctor Who this episode also had a really small budget amongst other things as well all of which combine to make a story that is just nothing more then an average episode of Doctor Who in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 out of 10 from me.

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

Power Rangers Dino Super Charge "When Evil Stirs" Review


Back in the mid to late 2010's Power Rangers had this strange habit of making the second season of any of there shows have the word Super in the title regardless of if it made sense or not. While that trend did sadly continue with the season upon which the episode that i'm going to be reviewing today comes from it is also one of the only times where adding the word Super to the title actually made sense and so then join me as I review the episode that gives us more backstory for Koda with the episode in question being called simply just "When Evil Stirs" enjoy.

The plot of this episode whilst there enjoying there time away from each other all of the rangers are suddenly attacked and frozen in blocks of ice and so it's up Tyler and Koda to get all of there friends back and stop this returning ice cold menace once and for all. 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 as it was the kind of plot that you'd expect the debut episode of a second season of a kids show to have in that it serves it's purpose of not only setting up the main bad guy for this new season butt also in reintroducing all of the hero characters in a way that makes sense as well but at the same time tho given that the plot of Dino Charge were all mostly really good with there being very few misses it's very easy to notice the sharp decline in quality in this episodes plot as it's clear as day that the writers for this episode just didn't have any ideas on what to do for a plot and so they just went with the most basic and formulaic plot that they could come up with only without adding any all that new to it with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Brennan Mejia as Tyler Navarro , James Davies as Chase Randall and Yoshi Sudarso as Koda. Also starring in this episode is Michael Taber as Riley Griffin , Camille Hyde as Shelby Watkins , Davi Santos as Sir Ivan of Zandar , Jarred Blakiston as Prince Phillip III , Claire Blackwelder as Kendall Morgan , Ryan Carter as Heckyl , Richard Simpson as The Voice Of Keeper , Paul Harrop as The Voice Of Fury , Estevez Gillespie as The Voice Of Wrench and The Voice Of Curio , Jackie Clarke as The Voice Of Poisandra , Campbell Cooley as The Voice Of Mecha Voice and The Voice Of Snide , Gerald Urquhart as The Voice Of Iceage , Emmett Skilton as The Voice Of Professor Strickler , Ross Girven as The Voice Of Badussa , Charlie McDermott as The Voice Of Cloaked Alien , Geoff Snell as The Postman and James Gaylyn as Mr. Watkins.

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. As even tho Power Rangers really isn't known for having that great acting in it when the actors in any episode of any season really get it right then they really do get it right as is the case with this episode as all of this episodes actors have had the entire previous season to really work out how best to perform there respective characters and that is something that is applied not only to this episode but to the rest of this season as well and while yes there is still some very dodgy performances in not only this season but also this episode the overall quality of the acting in this episode was really high as you can quite clearly tell then all of this episodes actors are a bunch of talented actors in their own right and that really is something that really did shine through in not only this episode but in both Dino Charge and in Dino Super Charge as a whole as well with the acting that's in this episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it really doesn't give any of this episodes anything to work interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant o be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at PRPVFX Limited. 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 inn 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 for the most part as even tho this show is made really cheaply you can still tell what was done in a computer and what was done for real with alot of the effects in this episode just looking very cheaply done with the above picture being a good example of that as it's clear as day that the effects just told the makers of this episode that they'll fix it in post and heck there's no shadow even being cast from the box either and while alot of the CGI in Power Rangers has always looked cheap and bad here it is something that did stand out a mile as it does take you out of the episode with it's CGI not even being laughably bad and yet while this episode does indeed have some really good CGI in it those most likely came from the shows source material Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger and were most likely not created for this show with the effects that were created for this show looking just OK at best and being down right bad at it's worst and while it is expected that Power Rangers has bad effects given the fact that's a very cheap to make show that doesn't mean that the show has to have bad effects as all you'd need is talented VFX artists and a half decent effects budget to make the effects in this episode be alot better then what they actually are.


One of the things that this episode actually gets right is the fact that it gives more backstory for Koda as we got very little of his backstory in Power Rangers Dino Charge. As here it's revealed that not only does he have a deep fear of ice but the fact it was Kendall and Chase that rescued him from the ice that he was froze in thousands of years ago and that his fear of ice comes from the fear of being trapped again this was a really good as it not only gives Koda who it could be argued was the least developed of the characters in the first season some much needed character development but it also gives him a fear that plays into the plot of this episode in a natural and organic way instead of being something that comes out of nowhere as it would understand for someone to have a fear of something that they've been trapped in for a long period of time and while the episode really does nothing with this information and nothing new is revealed about who Koda is as a person the fact that he was given this backstory does show that the creators of this show and the writers of this episode really did understand that in order to make a good show you need to have characters that you actually care about and they chose not to dumb down the show for there kid audience something that they very easily could have done and yet it still would have been nice if earlier on in the episode we got to see Koda acted scared when Iceage was first attacking him instead of having him act like his normal self as that only means that his fear of ice was only added to the plot just for the sake of having another ranger there to tell Tyler what's happend to the rest of the team and that's really it.

Something that really doesn't make sense not only in this episode but in the rest of this season is the location of the Magna Beam. As during the first it was very firmly located underneath the ship we know thins because of the fact that we saw it in most episodes and yet here for no reason whatsoever it's now located at the top of the ship this normally wouldn't be a huge issue as you could write it off as it being apart of the pretty bad writing that Power Rangers is none for but at the same time tho these two seasons of the show went to great lengths to actually explain alot of things away in a way that made sense and so it's odd to seem them suddenly go back to that old Power Rangers style of writing and not really explain something that we're going to be seeing in every episode and what's worse is that they literally could have one of the monsters explain it away with a throwaway line by saying just by saying that they've done some work to the ship and as such the Magna Beam is now located at the top of the ship and that's it and best part is it wouldn't take that long to record or film as both could have been done in less then a day but as the makers of this show chose not go that rout we are now stuck with something that whilst it does indeed include a pretty cool visual when the monsters do grown to giant size it is also something that can be kind of seen as being a continuity issue as that's not where it was located in the previous season of this show.


This episode does also see the fan favorite villain Heckyl take center stage as the main villain for this season. While the villain was introduced in the second to last episode of Dino Charge it's this episode that sees him become the main villain and that right there is some very good storytelling as they've already established that he exists as a character in this world by having him already fail to defeat the Rangers and yet they still make him look like one of the strongest and certainly one of the more smartest villains that Power Rangers has ever produced as Heckyl's best gift isn't his muscles it's his brain something that we see in not only this episode but also in future episodes as well as he actually outsmarts the Rangers in there civilian forms on several occasions even getting to see the inside of there base with this character coming across as a villain that is always thinking two or perhaps even three steps ahead of everyone else and while the show does slightly slip up on this character in some episodes there's no denying the fact that his debut/return in this episode is not only really awsome and cool to watch but it's also one that sets him as a character that knows what he wants and will do anything to get it and that is something that this show has needed for a long time and because of that it's not that hard to see why the fans of this show liked this character as he was just such a cool and charismatic villain who you were actually glad to see pop up on screen.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and thirty four seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show to have with the episode really having more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho some of this episode did feel like filler like the scene with Tyler at the beginning just going over the key events of Dino Charge really wasn't needed it's understandable why they did put it there because it was to catch us the audience on the plot so far but at the same time tho every single episode after this one has a shorter version of it and so there really was no need to have a recap in this episode as all it does is take valuable screen time away from developing the episodes plot and in catching us up on what the rest of the Rangers have been up to as everyone apart from Tyler Shelby don't get alot of screen time to show us what they've been up to since the events of Din Charge and whilst that might not be necessary in the grand scheme of things it does also serve as a way to reintroduce all of the key characters in ways that feel natural and organic as well with the only part of the Tyler scene that should be kept is the part where he mentions that he's still looking for his dad not because of the fact that add's anything to the plot of this episode because it does't but because it adds to the plot of an episode that aired not that long after this one did but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 


So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us n 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. As the episode does gave some really cool looking fight scenes in it both from the American side of things and the Japanese side of things as well but at the same time tho none of the other Rangers get a chance to show of what they can do in a fight in this episode heck some of them barely get a line of dialog in this episode which does make there inclusion feel like that they had to do it because of the Sentai footage and not because of the plot but with that being said it is still really cool seeing seven of the ten Dino Charge Rangers not only fighting together but also morphing together for pretty much the first time and while Kendall doesn't have that good fighting skills she still does more then hold her own when she's morphed with there also being alot of really cool moments during this episodes action with it really being helped by the fact that this is the start of a new season and so of course the action in this episode isn't going to be as good as this episodes action really was just used as a way to reintroduce us the audience to the Rangers and that's really it and in that respect it did it's job really well but it's also something that really could have been done alot more better then what it actually was done in this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a decent start but at the same time given just awsome Dino Charge really was then that means that this episode was always going to fail as the previous season was just that good both fro an action standpoint and a character standpoint but at the same time tho this episode really did do it's job of reintroducing us the audience to it's a characters in a fun and quite frankly entertaining episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as being all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 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 the boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen 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 images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Harley Quinn: The Animated Series "The Big Apricot" SPOILER FILLED Review


After a good while waiting between series the new series of the acclaimed Harley Quinn: The Animated Series TV show debuted just a few days ago. While i've never seen every single episode of the show I have kept up with the storyline here and there and so even I was kind of excited to see this new episode and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the episode that sees Harley and Ivy move with the episode in question being called simply just "The Big Apricot" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Harley and Ivy sneak into a museum dedicated to Superman because Harley just wants to get him to say thanks for her saving him. 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 as it did a good job of setting up the main plot for the season as well as being the kind of story that you'd expect from this show at this point in time but the issue is tho is that this episodes plot really doesn't do anything fun and unique with it's setting and set up with the kind of things that you think would happen given the episodes premise happening and happening in the exact way and order that you think that they would do and heck even the episodes big twist reveal was one that you could see coming a mile away all of which does make this episode seem kind of predictable and that is something that really shouldn't happen with these characters you have permission to go and do wacky and outlandish things and that's when this show really does work but here it doesn't do any of that for the most part and instead plays it safe which works more against the episode then it does for it with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is this shows producer Kaley Cuoco as Harley Quinn and Lake Bell as Poison Ivy. Also starring in this episode is James Adomian as Clock King Skeleton 1 and Eclipso , Diedrich Bader as Bruce Wayne and Automation Sentry , Briana Cuoco as Oracle , Natalie Morales as Lois Lane , Aisha Tyler as Lena Luthor , Jim Rash as The Riddler and A Waiter , Cherise Booth as Catwoman , Tisha Campbell as Tawny and A Manager , Drew Massey as Jimmy Olsen and Performer 1 , Katie Rich as Enchantress and A Child and James Wolk as Superman.

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 the actors that you expect a great performance really giving us exactly that and that is something that really does make sense as alot of this episodes actors have been in this show from the very beginning and as such they really would know how best to perform there respective characters and while yes there are a few dodgy performances in this episode this episode those bad performances don't represent the overall majority of this episodes acting with it being painfully obvious that Kaley Cuoco pretty much just IS the voice for this adult animated take on Harley Quinn as she just captures the character so beautifully that it really is hard to picture anybody else playing the character in an adult animated TV show or movie as Kaley Cuoco is just that good not only in the show as a whole but in this episode as well with the same thing also being true for Lake Bell as well as she just works as Poison Ivy with the acting that's in this episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Studio IAM. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very 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 done in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as the show already had some really high quality animation anyways with this episode more then matching up to that and while it doesn't surpass the animation quality of the previous seasons you can still tell that the animation team that were working on this episode had a blast making it and that they have a passion for all of the characters in this episode which is something that does shine through in the final product with the episodes animation also having alot of detail in backgrounds like the fact that Gotham is pretty much hell on earth and so the animation for those scenes includes things that would put alot of people visiting and yet when they get Metropolis it's this utopia type of place where everybody likes everyone else and it's that great attention to detail that makes the animation in this episode really stand out as it would have been super easy for them to just phone it in and turn in something that's not that good but the very fact that they didn't really does show you that everyone involved with the making of this show deeply loves those characters and the world that this show takes place in.

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



There was one actor that was left off of this episodes cast list and that's the fact that this episode marks the debut of Sir Stephen Fry as Brainiac. With the character only appearing in one scene at the very end of the episode with him pretty much confirmed to be the big bad for this season which whilst it is good casting and while Sir Stephen Fry does indeed turn in a solid performance in the few moments that he's one screen it's apart of a reveal that you can see coming a mile away as it's pretty obvious that someone is trying to make Harley and Ivy out to be bad guys in Metropolis and so when they reveal that it's Brainiac it's not as shocking as perhaps the makers of this show had wanted it to be as it's something that is very clearly what's going to happen the only way that they could make a reveal like this work was if they revealed that Brainiac was working for someone other then Lana as that would be far to obvious of a choice given how she acts in this episode but at the same time tho it would be interesting to see this new take on Brainiac in action and to see what the makers of this very adult show do with him as there are quite alot of things that they could with the character given the fact that this show is an adult show and given that Sir Stephan Fry is a comedic actor then you just know that the makers of this show are going to hopefully take full advantage of that and give Brainiac some really funny lines as well.

If you ere excited to see Superman appear in this show again then get ready to be let down as he does nothing of note in the episode. In fact he doesn't do anything that actually effects the main plot of the episode with him just appearing in a few scenes the first of which is at the museum where he arrives and hears Jimmy screaming but when he goes to help him he finds that one of the automation sentries has already helped him and his second scene is little just him talking to Harley before flying off again and that's it which is a shame as seeing Superman swearing could have been funny and yet the makers of this show don't take that plunge and instead just have him show up and leave and that's really it and heck both of his scenes are so pointless to the plot of the episode that you could have left them out of the final cut episode and nothing that's actually important to the actual plot of the episode would have been lost as that's just pointless his scenes are in this episode and when you have a character that's as iconic as Superman appearing in an episode that's quite literally all about him having effectively be a minor character in the episode really does't make that much sense and it would have made more sense if he was a main character in the episode as that would not allow to show us the audience just how funny this new take on Superman could quite possibly be but it would also allow to see what this take of Superman is like in action which makes sense given that he straight up says that he's going to take a holiday at the end of the episode.


As a comedy this episode does work really well as there alot of really funny jokes really early on in the episode. All of which do feel like that there are the kinds of jokes that thus show would have made back in it's first season and yet when the show moves the characters out of Gotham to Metropolis the jokes whilst they are still funny don't really land as much as the really could have done like for example Harley's subplot in this episode in this episode is to get a thank you off of Superman for her saving his life one time and yet the episode does nothing funny with it like how funny would it have been to have them meet each other more then the one time that they do actually meet up in the episode only for him to fly thinking that he can help somebody and for Harley to get more and more frustrated every single time that's funny and it would have been very in keeping with her character but because of the fact that the episode only has them meet them once at the end of the episode they can't do anything all that funny with it except for having Superman fly off after Harley saves him again and that's really it and that's not that funny and this episode does have jokes all throughout it that are like but when this episode does tell a really funny joke it is something that does land and land hard like the fact that according the people of Metropolis the people who live in Gotham are just hideous people who don't know how to look after themselves and that is a really joke.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and fifty five. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show with this episode really having the right amount there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time and while yes it would have been better if this episode did have a slightly longer running time as this is a streaming show they really could have pushed this episode to thirty minuets even if it's just fit in more jokes if they did do that then the plot of this episode would stat to be getting stretched rather thin and the episode would have alot of scenes init regardless of if they were actually funny or not they would also feel like filler and as such this episode is perfect with it current running time as it means that every single scene has to be about advancing the plot of the episode and as well as setting up the plot for this season but it also would have been if this episode was slightly longer just so that we could get to spend more time in this world and with these characters but the plot has to always come first first and if that means that the plot demands having a shorter running time as you really can't expand on this episodes plot in any meaningful way then  so be it as at least this way we'd get an episode that isn't chocked filled to the brim with filler and is more about advancing the actual plot of the episode but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 


So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I gave 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 hat the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episode having some really fun filled action sequences all throughout it's running time with the best one being the scene where both Harley and Ivy dressed as acrobats for the Superman museum have to fight off a bunch of automation sentries whilst trying to steal a box that's important to Superman with that action sequence also leading to some pretty funny lines between the pair as well and it's during this action that the animation for this episode really does come alive as it makes what could have been seen as being a flat , dull and boring action scene suddenly be the best scene in the whole entire episode as it's one where you not only get to see the episodes already high quality animation be at it's best but it;s also where you get to see the characters just being themselves all of which combine to make a really fun filled action scene and it is something that really does make you wonder if the rest of this season action will be like that as it this episodes action really is just that good and is just that fun to watch as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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


Overall whilst this was a really good first episode it's also an episode that could have been done alot better and while the nearly two year wait for this episode was worth it as it means that we got a good episode out of it alot of that really should have been spent on making this episode as good as it really could have been as there is alot of potential in this episode to be a good episode but for one reason or another it's just can't or at worst doesn't want to live up to that potential in my freaking opinions anyways / 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 such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

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