My First Impressions Of The Tiny Toons Looniversity TV Series

 


I make it no secret that i'm a fan of Tiny Toon Adventures and so when it announced that the show would be coming back I like many of you was understandably rather excited. However thanks to someone leaking the entire fifth episode of the show online I can now bring you this post a whole earlier then what I was originally planning to do so and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that is tiny toony but not very looney with the show in question being called simply just "Tiny Toons Looniversity" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when his favorite hangout spot is threatened with demolition Buster has to find a way to save it before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very 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 OK at best since this episodes plot does somewhat have the same feel as a plot of Tiny Toon Adventures which for this show and for this episode is something that is very sorely lacking in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Ben Giroux as Buster Bunny , Danny Cooksey as Montana Max and Tessa Netting as Sweetie Bird. Also starring in this episode is Candi Milo as Granny , Jeff Bergman as Bugs Bunny , David Errigo Jr. as Hamton J. Pig and Ashleigh Crystal Hairston as Babs Bunny. Try as I might but I cannot find any voice actor listed for Taz , Dizzy and Plucky Duck this is despite the fact that both Dizzy and Plucky have very prominent speaking roles in this episode.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt abut thew 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 episode that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty decent at best. The issue is tho that alot of the voices just don't fit the characters at all and that is such a shame because the original show gave the characters perfect voices and while the voices don;t effect the performances in this episode the voices are very distracting at best and are just straight up bad at their worst.



Try as I might I cannot find out who did the animation for this show or even for this episode for that matter. 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 really bad granted this episode isn't fully finished heck one scene appears in storyboard form but the animation is for the most part all done and what animation we do get is pretty bad and is nowhere near the high standard of the original show.


This show feels like that it was made by people who aren't fans of the original Tiny Toon Adventures since so little about this episode has that Tiny Toon Adventures feel to it. Since this episode is just telling one story and not having several segments inside one episode and while the original show did occasionally have one story cover the entire episode they were often done to tell a much bigger story where as here it's only done just because they felt like that they had to it and not because the story dictated that they do it.

The one thing that you'd expect from the Looney Tunes characters is for them to act looney in some way and while that is in this episode. It here feels like that it was done just because they felt like that they had and not because of the fact that the makers of the show feel like that have a love and respect for the original show which is something that the makers of this show really should have had since that would be the only way to make the show good since the original does have alot of fans even all these years later and when you make a show that doesn't respect the original show then you've already alienated the fans of the original who are the same fans that you should really be trying to please with this show.


One of the things that put alot of people of about this show is the fact that Babs and Buster Bunny are now siblings. Which simply wasn't the case in the original show which makes me wonder why it's a thing in this show since that was the whole point of their "No relation" joke something which the makers of this show quite clearly didn't understand and while it's not something that gets brought up in this episode aside from one side reference from Babs it is something that will play a role in the show itself.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and twenty five seconds. Which for what s going to be the fifth episode of the show is a great running time to have simply because of the fact that this episode really doesn't have alot of story to cover a large amount of running time and as such giving this episode the running time that it has means that every single in this episode has to be about advancing the plot and as such that means that we do get some really good pacing in this episode as well.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / resented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally tought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really bad. I don't think that I laughed even once during this episode which is a shame because during any comedy you always want to make your audience laugh but this episode just doesn't tell any good jokes at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this episode is quite alot better then any episode of Velma it's still not a good representation of what the Tiny Toons was or even could be and as such this is just a bad episode of a really bad looking 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 in this post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well but so far it's not of to very good start at all.

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 well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Tiny Toon Adventures fandom wiki page , the official Looney Tunes 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 post being Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the great freaking Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Worzel Gummidge "Worzel's Washing Day" Review

 


To say that i'm a fan of Worzel Gummidge would be a huge understatement since after about a week of waiting i've finally been able the latest DVD release. What makes this release standout is that it contains all of the episodes plus the christmas special have been restored and well I just had to get my hands on this release and so then join me as I review the episode that brought a talking scarecrow to life with the episode in question being called simply just "Worzel's Washing Day" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a brother and sister discover that some laundry has gone missing it's up to the duo to find it before the culprit a talking scarecrow gets away. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really very good with this episodes plot also being very entertaining and very engaging indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Doctor Who star Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge , Jeremy Austin as John Peters and Steptoe And Son Ride Again star Geoffrey Bayldon as The Crowman. Also starring in this episode is Are You Being Served star Mike Berry as Mr. Peters , Norman Bird as Mr. Braithwaite , Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Denis Gilmore as Harry , Megs Jenkins as Mrs. Braithwaite and Norman Mitchell as P.C. Parsons.

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 of this episodes cast turning in some really good performances even the child actors manage to not only turn in some good performances but they also come as being rather likable and not annoying.



Since this review is being based of off the recent new transfer I want to talk about the image quality which I feel is a huge step up from all of the previous DVD releases. With this new releases having a much more brighter image which does have it's pluses as well as it set backs with this new transfer showing us more of Jon Pertwee's performance thus getting a bit more of a laugh out of people but on the flip side of that it does give the characters an overall wax type of look as well as giving the characters an orange skin color in some scenes as well.


This show did have alot of rather scary scenes in it and that is something that started in this episode with this episodes containing quite a few jump scares. With the scene where we first see Worzel come to life and walk being the scariest scene in this episode heck even actor Jeremy Austin said that producer and director James Hill perhaps made the scene a little bit to scary which I do kind of agree with but at the same time kids do like to be scared and having a scary scene in what is a child friendly series really does really make this scene feel a little bit less scary that what it actually is in this very episode.

This episode also does a good job of making Worzel seem like a villain as well as being a troublemaker especially when compared to the rest of the show. Since from a certain point of view Worzel could be seen as a villain with him running amuck in the lock village and causing mayhem wherever he goes and that is something that a villain would do and yet because we see him from the point of view of the kids we see him turn more and more into someone who just can't help but get himself into trouble and that is an interesting thing to see not only in this series but in this episode as well.


No kids TV show that i've seen has had the courage to have it's main character be beheaded in the first episode.  Yet this show does it and not only that they have it be a key plot point in the episode and not only that they let it sit with you for a while and don't end the scene on a joke either and how this episode handles that scene works really well since we get some great stunt work from stuntman Terry Welsh but we also see Worzel fall apart as he falls down a rubbish pile which just sells you on the fact that Worzel is a scarecrow and could therefor die at anytime during this show.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was I do know that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly twenty four minuets and forty seconds. Which I really do think was the best amount of time for this episode to last since this episode didn't really have all that much ti set up and to introduce and it helps that this episode has more then enough story to cover that amount of running time and as such all of the episodes are all about advancing the overall plot of the episode which helps with this episodes pacing which really does make the episode just fly by. 


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 not that bad. With this episode having some good laughs init however at the same time tho this episode isn't as funny as it perhaps could have been in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this is a great episode to start this series of off with since it has all of the things that this would become known for and it does them with such style and fun that it makes it infectious 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 earns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and 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 , Wikipedia 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 Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Ultimate Avengers: The Movie Film Review

 


Marvel fans with the Marvel Cinematic Universe taking a very saver dip interms of quality I thought that i'd take a look back at one of the earliest times that earths mightiest heroes gathered together for a film. I will very much that this film is the film that got me into the The Avengers team and the first animated Marvel movie that I ever bought and so then join me as I review the film that brought earths mightiest heroes together for the first time in animated film form with the film in question being called simply just "Ultimate Avengers: The Movie" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a bunch of aliens attack a SHIELD satellite Nick Fury is tasked with putting together a team that can withstand the enemy threat but the team might also have a traitor in there midst. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us om this very film 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 film was in all honesty OK at best since this films plot is fairly engaging but at the same time it's also a pretty boring plot as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Justin Gross as Steve Rogers / Captain America and Marc Worden as Tony Stark / Iron Man. Also starring in this film is Andre Ware as Nick Fury , James Arnold Taylor as Bucky Barnes , Grey DeLisle as Janet Van Dyne-Pym / Wasp , Nolan North as Hank Pym / Giant-Man , Dave Boat as Thor , Olivia D'Abo as Natalia Romanov / Black Widow , Fred Tatasciore as Hulk and Edwin Jarvis , Michael Massee as Bruce Banner , Nan McNamara as Betty Ross and James K. Ward as Herr Kleiser.

Now then inters 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 not that bad. Altho given the amount of great voice acting talent in this film I did expect the acting to be alot better but sadly due to this films poor script not giving the cast anything to work with interms of their characters personalities we can;t get great or even good performances because of the fact that this films script just won't allow for it.



Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Dong Woo Animation Co.. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation 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 animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad altho I did hate all of the shading that all of the characters got which was very distracting and just wasn't needed at all. 


This film is very loosely based of off the first six issues of the 2002 comic book The Ultimates and while this film does in deed make some changes thew core story is still there. Altho I would have liked it if some of the character arcs were the same since there was no need for Tony Stark to keep his identity as Iron Man a secret where as in the book everybody knew who that he was Iron Man and he had to deal with that and that is something that could have made for an interesting character arc in this film.

Speaking of making changes this film changes up the characters of Hank Pym since in the film he has some anger issues and is a bit an egomaniac. Where is in the comic book he;s all of that plus he;s drunk and he abuses his wife and those are things that are he has to overcome over the course of the book where as in this film he doesn't overcome anything and as such the character seems like a watered down version of the comic book version which like I said had a much more interesting character arc and that would have made this version of the character seem alot more interesting.  


While I do like that we get to see the team initially not like each other that doesn't excuse the fact that the film itself is just plain boring. Wit nothing really happening for a large portion of the films running time which is a shame because when we do get something actually exciting or actually interesting in this film we get scenes like Captain America seeing himself on a TV screen thus further highlighting the fact that he is a man out of time or the scene where Black Widow says that she'll gladly follow Captain America on any mission but those good scenes don't make up for the fact that the rest of the film is just straight up boring.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and eleven minuets and twenty one seconds. Which to this films credit this film does use the most of it's running time however with that being said tho this film should have been alot longer since this film just feels like it was a huge set up for Ultimate Avengers 2: Rise Of The Panther and as such this film just feels like your catching a feature length trailer for another film but I will say that this film does have some really good pacing to it.



So now then since this is an action film that means that I have 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. With this films action making good use of showing us what the team can do when they work together however sadly there's not really enough action sequences in this film which is a shame because when we do get an action sequence it is genuinely quite cool to look at in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this film might be the first time that we saw earths mightiest heroes appear together in an animated film it's still not that good of a film since it is a pretty dull and rather boring film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all f the good and as well as all of the and things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Marvel Database fandom wiki page , the official Marvel Cinematic Universe 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 Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: Day Of The Daleks Review

 


Doctor Who fans the announcement of a new collection box set is always very exciting however what excited me the most about this upcoming release was the fact that there was a dalek story that i'd never even heard of. So the very first chance that I got I went and tracked down all four episodes of this serial and well then I have some thoughts on this serial and so then join me as I review the serial that reintroduced the world to  the Daleks with the serial in question being called simply just "Day Of The Daleks" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor , UNIT and Jo investigate the attempted assassination of a British diplomat only to find an arch enemy of The Doctors is planning something very deadly. Now then interms of what I personally thought / flt 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 acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty rather OK at best since this episodes story is rather thin at best and just down right isn't there at it's worst in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Worzel Gummidge star Jon Pertwee as The Doctor , Katy Manning as Jo Grant and Nicholas Courtney as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. Also starring in this episode is Richard Franklin as Captain Mike Yates , John Levene as Sergeant Benton , Wilfred Carter as Sir Reginald Styles , Jean McFarlane as Miss Paget , Anna Barry as Anat , Scott Fredericks as Boaz , Jimmy Winston as Shura , Tim Condren as Guerilla , Aubrey Woods as Controller , Valentine Palmer as Monia , Oliver Gilbert as The Voice Of The Daleks and Peter Messaline as The Voice Of The Daleks.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very 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 of this episodes cast members turning in some really good performances however with that being said the voices that they have for the Daleks are just straight up bad and it's no wonder that they removed the people who voiced the daleks after this one episode because of the fact that the Dalek voices were that bad.



This episode marked the return of the Daleks since 1967's The Evil Of The Daleks and well this episode doesn't do them any kind of justice. Since they give them a terrible introduction and they give them little to no motivation in this episode both of which are things that a Dalek story should do since it makes these characters seem like bigger threat then they already are and it doesn't help that they give them a stupid looking eye on their eye stalk which just looks very cartoonish and not at all threatening at all.


This episode also marked the introduction of a new TARDIS interior which i'm in two minds about since having a ore stripped back interior does suit this version of the The Doctor perfectly. However on the flip side of that this interior just doesn't look that visually interesting since it just looks very bland and it;s not really helped by the fact that there very little to no lights in the console room and so you can't really get a good look at it which does make it slightly hard to fully judge this new TARDIS interior.

One of the things that this episode introduces is the idea of The Doctor and Jo suffering from crossed time streams. Which given that appears very early in the first episode you'd think that it's going to play a part in the episode and while it doesn't play apart in the episode in one sense it does in the fact that a group of rebels have to cross their own time streams to stop a potential war from happening but at the same time the whole concept of suffering from crossed time streams doesn't really play a major part in the episode which makes me wonder why they introduced that concept very early on in the episode if there not going to pay it off by the end of episode since it just makes a very pointless thing to include in this episode. 


One of the things that both Jon Pertwee and Katy Manning hated about this episode is the fact that they couldn't get behind the idea of three Daleks launching a full scale attack on this one house. I say that one Dalek is more then enough to launch a full scale attack on this one massive house since we know that Daleks are pretty much unkillable and one Dalek has more fire power then an entire squadron but at the same time having just three Daleks launching this entire attack does seem a little bit on the small side since it doesn't make the Daleks seem like that much of a threat.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets. With this episode being four episodes long with each episode lasting no longer then twenty five minuets with episode one being twenty three minuets and thirty nine seconds , episode two being twenty three minuets and fifty five seconds , episode three being twenty four minuets and twenty seconds and episode for being twenty four minuets and twenty two seconds all of which where perfect running times for each episode to last and it really does help that this story has some really great pacing to it as well.


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 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 bad. Altho I will admit that the choreography of The Doctor's action scenes was a little of but it's always going to be cool seeing some Daleks launch an all attack in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this was a pretty bad Dalek story but if this episode featured an original villain then it might have been a much more stronger episode but as it is this episode just doesn't work at all 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 earns 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 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 the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Raw Is XXX Review

 


Wrestling fans it's been a good few months since I last reviewed a wrestling show and well then with Raw turning thirty I thought that now was the right time to review another wrestling show. Since this show has been apart of every wrestling fans life for exactly thirty years regardless of if we watched the WWE or not and so then join me as I review the show that celebrates turning thirty with the show in question being called simply just "Raw Is XXX" enjoy.

The biggest storyline going into this show was of course The Tribal Court storyline and that's really all we get interms if major storylines. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual storylines going into this show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual storylines that are going into this show was in all honesty really good with the Tribal Court segment being very well told and indeed adding in alot more intrigue going into the Royal Rumble in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


The set for this show isn't what i;d thought that it would be since it's just the regular set that's used for Raw these days and nothing more then that. Which wouldn't be a bad thing if this was just a regular episode of Raw but it's not and so the the set for this show show should really represent all of the other previous Raw sets or if they really wanted to do a call back then they bring back the very first Raw set since just having the regular set just makes it look like just another episode of the show and not an anniversary special.

I'm not really a big fan of the one big tron being a set for the show type of thing since it just screams laziness to me. I didn't like it when they did it at Wrestlemania and I don't like it now it's something that really does need to go since WWE sets have always been creative and having one big tron be the entire set for the show just robs any and all creativity that could be going into creating a great looking set i'm sure that there is a way ti use one tron as the entire set but so far i'm yet to see a show that had this idea nailed down and perfected.


Going into the show there was one match that alot of us wrestling fans where excited to seeing and that;s the women's steel cage match. This match had pretty much all of it's time cut because of the fact that the The Tribal Court segment went longer then expected so instead of cutting time from the Bianca Belair vs Sonya Deville or the Seth Rollins & The Street Profits vs Imperium since both of those matches didn't need to be as long as they were and then when you add in the fact that both matches had incredibly longer segments before the it;s very easy to see where you could have find time to cut from both matches and segments and add them to the steel cage match.


To this shows credit it does use the legends on this show alot better then Legends Night did from just a few short years ago. Since the legends on this show are used to not enhance the current roster but are also used to enhance the current storylines as well where as back on Legends Night they mainly used the legends to make fun of the current roster and to not enhance the then current storylines and that's not a great way to use legends since it hurts the product in the long term where as how they used the legends on this show will only serve to help the product in the long term.

I will admit that the legends in this show were really fun with them getting alot of really segments and interactions. However tho the issue is tho that these segments last long and are there just for pure fanservice and nothing more then that which is to be expected on a legends show but at the same time tho it means that you get a lot of segments that last a lot longer then what is really needed I mean heck the DX segment didn't need to run as long as it does and yet with the match it runs for close to ten minuets and it really doesn't need to be that long at all. 


This show should have been more of a celebration of Raw and what it means to the wrestlers and those involved with the WWE. However we don;t get any of that which is a shame because this show was built up as an anniversary special and yet there's nothing on the show gives you a hint of that apart from the wrestlers constantly reminding you of the fact that Raw is turning thirty and that does get annoying after a while but when the show gets the celebration right it really does get it right with the shows opening intro being a prime example of that.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly two hours and thirty two minuets and twenty four seconds. Which if i'm right is pretty much the bog standard running time for Raw these days but at the same time even with this large amount of running time the show could have dine with being at the very least five or ten minuets longer just because of the fact it would have then have allowed for the steel cage match to happen and it wold have allowed for the main event to go a bit longer as well.


So now then since is a wrestling show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With alot of the shows matches having some really good wrestling in it with the best match of the whole show being The Bloodline vs The Judgement Day in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a great show for legends and while it was a huge step up from the dreadful Legends Night episode of Raw it;s not a great anniversary episode and it doesn't represent how great this show can be when it's at it's best 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 earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling 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 Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

This episode features what is quite possibly the most iconic cliffhanger in all of Doctor Who history with a Dalek emerging from a London river. That one shot is so effective because it tells you without any line of dialog who the main threat is and just how much of a threat that they are and all of this is done by just showing us the characters reactions to seeing this episodes villains and that's it and that is great storytelling because it's a very strong case for show don't tell and that is something that works really well in this episode.


As I mentioned this episode features the very first departure of a companion with Susan leaving the TARDIS. What I really loved about this one scene is just how emotional it was not only for Susan but for The Doctor as well with both of them struggling to speak during the scene and with The Doctor leaving while Susan isn't looking because of the fact that he can't bring himself to say goodbye to her face to face because it would break his heart and I have to admit that I got a little but emotional during it because it's not just one character leaving another character it's a grandfather saying goodbye to his granddaughter possibly for the last time and that's what made the scene really emotional plus it was a really well written and well acted scene as well.

Speaking of the writing that whole final scene actually wasn't written by the episodes writer Terry Nation it was instead written by the writer of the next episode and the shows script editor David Whitaker. Which might explain why that one scene feels so differently from the rest of the episode since the rest of the show is written more like a thriller all throughout the episode and yet that one scene is written more like a drama which while it doesn't create a case of tonal whiplash it is something that does stick out a mile.


To me this episode feels very different from the rest of the show since this one episode looks and feels alot more like a movie then it does an episode of a TV show. Not only that but this episode also shows us that not everyone during the events of this episode is out to help our heroes which means our heroes could be betrayed by every single person that they meet which means that they are constant danger as it mean that anybody could hand them over to this episodes villains all for just the tiniest scrap of food and that makes the episode all the more tense and exciting as well.

Now then this episode has / had an episode count of six episodes with a grad total running time of roughly two and a half hours. Which is pretty much the perfect running time for this episode to have since this episode has more then enough story to cover that amount of running time altho I would have preferred it if this episode was five episodes long since most of episode is basically a filler episode since it has no effect on the actual plot of the episode as a whole but that is a very minor issue in an otherwise great story.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have ti 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 really good. Especially for the kind f budget that this show had back in the sixties but even so the episodes action was really good and was for the time also really impressive as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this was such a phenomenal episode and it;s one that i;d say is a quite essential watch for any Doctor Who fan since it's great example of what this show can be like when it's at it's best 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 earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 9.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from 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 Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

House Of The Dragon "The Heirs Of The Dragon" Review

 



Game Of Thrones fans today just so happens to be a very special day for me personally as it's my birthday and one of my presents was season one of House Of The Dragon. Well you just all know that I had to take a look at this shows debut episode just to see if this episode is still as good as it was when it first aired last year and so then join me as I review the episode that brought us back to the world of Westeros and the world of Game Of Thrones with the episode is question being called simply just "The Heirs of the Dragon" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when he names his only daughter his heir King Viserys I Targaryen faces backlash from all fronts which threaten to cause a civil war. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot doing a very good of setting up the characters and telling a genuinely intriguing plot 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 Young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen , Emily Carey as Alicent Hightower , Graham McTavish as Ser Harrold Westerling and Sian Brooke as Queen Aemma Arryn.

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. Which isn't new for Game Of Thrones since even during it's bad seasons Game Of Thrones always had great acting in it and it's great to see that this show continued that trend by having great acting in this very episode.



Doing the CGI for not only this episode but also I think for this entire show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Visualskies. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about thew actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes CGI being so good that it could have been in a feature length film because it's that good.


To me Prince Daemon Targaryen is someone who is trying to be a rockstar but has no idea how to make it as an actual rockstar. Since everything about this character just screams rockstar to me from the way that he walks down to the way that he talks and given that Matt Smith chose to play this character in a way that suited him that wouldn't actually surprise me if that was true since this character is basically a rockstar in every single way and heck as the show would go on he'd even have multiple women just like an actual rockstar.

Sadly its not all good since this episode does have it's fair share of flaws as well the first of which being that the show doesn't reopen the world of Westeros up. With the vast majority of the episode being set within Kings' Landing which oddly enough makes the show feel alot smaller then what it actually is and as such we don;t don;t get to see how other famous Game Of Thrones locations where at this point in time which is shame because there could be a wealth of stories just waiting to be told during this time period and by restricting yourself to just one location your making feel alot more smaller then what it actually is. 


The other thing that this episode doesn't get right is the death of Queen Aemma Arryn which is something that i've never liked happening this early on in the show. Since it's something that would have been alot more dram tic if it was done in say episode six for example since then we would have had a lot more time to really get to know this character and to see how she fits within her family and to see how she interacts with other characters and yet by killing her of in the first episode it just comes across as having a death in the episode for the sake of having a death in this episode.

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 one hour and two minuets. Which is the perfect amount of time for this episode to last since even tho it doesn't have tom set up the world it still has several dozen new characters that it has to set up and it just can't do that and sill a good and even well thought out story and  it really does help that this episode had some great pacing to it as well and as such this episode really did fly by and not feel as long as it was.


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 since we don't get an awful lot of action in this episode but what little action that we do get does look good and is really visually cool to look at in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode is still a great debut for what would be a great first season and while this episode does indeed have it;s fair share flaws those are very minor flaws at best 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 earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 9 out pf 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.
