The Powerpuff Girls 1998 TV Series "Monkey See, Doggie Do" and "Mommy Fearest" Review

 

The nineties was a great time for cartoons on TV with there being alot of shows being made that would go on to become truly iconic shows i their own right. Well thr show that i'm about to talk about today is one such a show with this show having a an a list team of people working on it from great voice actors and to really great writers and directors all of which came to together to make this show the hit that it was and so then join me as I review the episodes that introduced the world to The Powerpuff Girls with the episodes in question being called simply just "Monkey See, Doggie Do" and "Mommy Fearest" enjoy.

The plot of "Monkey See, Doggie Do" is the people of townsville are being turned into dogs and it's up to The Powerpuff Girls to find who is doing this evil crime and stop them once and for all and the plot of "Mommy Fearest" is when The Professor falls in love it's up to The Powerpuff Girls to convince him that his new girlfriend is truly evil. 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 n all honesty really good with "Monkey See, Doggie Do" having the stronger plot whilst the plot for "Mommy Fearest" was quite easily the weaker of the two segments in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this very episode is Catherine Cavadini as Blossom , E.G. Daily as Buttercup and Tara Strong as Bubbles and Woman Neighbor. Also starring in this episode is Tom Kane as Professor Utonium , Puppet Pal Clem and Talking Dog , Roger L. Jackson as Mojo Jojo , Tom Kenny as The Narrator and The Mayor , Rob Paulsen as Puppet Pal Mitch and Jennifer Hale as Ima Goodelady and Sequsa.

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. Which given who is involved with this show shouldn't really be all that surprising as the show has some really legendary voice actors working on show and a really good creative team writing and directing the show with the acting in this episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is really good and so all the cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them really naturally.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Rough Draft Korea. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation 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 animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as the animation in this episode does look really good but at the same time it does also look really dated this is of course no fault of those making the show but it is something that dates both the episode and the show itself as it just looks like that it was made in the nineties and as such the shows animation really doesn't come across as really being timeless unlike the animation in say Tiny Toon Adventures for example.

In the first half of this shows first episode we do get to meet The Powerpuff Girls most iconic villain that being Mojo Jojo. With the villain just being as entertaining as he was back in the nineties which is nothing new for this show as the makers of this show did put in alot of effort intro creating memorable villains be it for there right reasons or for the wrong reasons and they also put in alot of time and effort into making the villains in not only this episode but the show as a whole as entertaining as the shows main heroes as well with Mojo being a prime example of this as why he's not the most creepiest villain in the shows history he is one of if not the most well known villain in the shows history and alot of that comes down to the fact that he is both really well written and really well acted as well both of which help to really make him a really entertaining villain.

Sadly the comedy is where this episode falters as the comedy in this episode just isn't that funny in the lightest. Which is odd because we have a bunch or directors in Craig McCracken , John McIntyre and Genndy Tartakovsky al of whom know how to make funny animation and how to make things funny in the world of animation and yet for some strange reason they just didn't do it in this episode with the jokes here just coming across as lazy at best and unfunny at worst and when you add in the fact that we get a shall we say adult type of joke with a straight up naked person appearing in this episode and yet it's just not that funny and all it does is make you wonder how in the heck they manged to get that scene past all of the censors.

Out of the two segments the first one is the better of the two just because it was a good example of what the show was like when it was at it's best. However with that being said episode two was also rather enjoyable as it gives us some insight as to what the girls are like at home which just reminds us that outside of their superhero duties these girls are still just little girls and so they do things that kids there age would like to do only because they have superpowers they now have alot more pressure of going to save the town as and when they are needed and seeing their home life was also really entertaining in it's own right as it made the segment feel more personal as it's just mostly confined to the girls house for most of the segment.

Now then the first segment has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly eleven minuets and twenty nine seconds whilst the second segment has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly ten minuets and one second. With the first first segment having the better running time as the first segment has more then enough their interms f plot ti cover that large amount of story where as the second second segment really doesn't have alot of story there and so alot of the segment comes across as being filler but both segments don't really to take the time to fully develop their respective villains which does make it hard to route for the hero as we're not really given a reason to but I will admit that both segments have some really good pacing to both of them.

So now then as this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk abut 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 really good. With both segments having some really good action in them as we get to see alot of the girls powers in the second segment and we get to see just how creative the girls can be in a fight in the first segment both of which make the segments respective action scenes look really good and look alot better then the action that we get in mist modern day action cartoon TV shows n my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall both of these segments were really entertaining in their way as they both show of just how entertaining this show was and could be when it was 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 the first segment earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 whilst the second segment earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out and the episode as a whole earns itself a grand old score of a 7 out 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the image that I personally used in this very review well then boy sand 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 Powerpuff Girls fandom wiki page, IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the official The Powerpuff Girls fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are on the official The Powerpuff Girls fandom wiki page are all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: The Star Beast SPOILER FILLED Review

 

We are now here at the main event after weeks of waiting the very first of three brand new specials for Doctor Who have finally started airing. With all three episodes set to air over the next few weeks and while I most likely won't be covering all three episodes as and when they air I really will try to watch all three of then and so then join me as I give you SPOILER FILLED review of the episode that sees classic faces return and new faces debut with the episode in question being called simply just "The Star Beast" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when the newly regenerated fourteenth doctor lands on earth he finds himself drawn back into the life of Donna Noble and right in the middle of a tg war between to warring alien races. 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 al 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 but that's also the issue as it's not all that good either which is a shame as we know for a fact that writer and returning producer ad showrunner Russell T Davies can turn in some really good plotlines for Doctor Who when he really wants to and yet here he just really doesn't do it at all for some reason but this episode plot is very entertaining and as well as being really very engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at last.

Starring in this episode is David Tennant as The Doctor , Catherine Tate as Donna Noble and Yasmin Finney as Rose Noble. Also starring in this episode is Karl Collins as Shaun Temple , Matt Green as A BBC Reporter , Jamie Cho as Colonel Chan , Ruth Madeley as Shirley Bingham , Jacqueline King as Sylvia Noble , Ronak Patani as Major Singh , Ned Porteous as The Voice Of Zogroth , John Hopkinson as The Voice Voice Of Zreeg , Cecily Fay as The Meep and Miriam Margolyes as The Voice Of The Meep.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt bout the actual acting that's actual;y 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 both David and Catherine turning in some really good performances with them both just slipping back in to characters so easily that it was like they had just finished playing their characters just last series with the rest of the actors also turning in some fairly solid performances as well with the acting in this episode being helped by this episodes script as while the plot is fairly average at best the script itself gives the cast alot to work with interms of what their respective characters personalities even are.

Doing the CGI for this episode is Untold Studios and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Real SFX. 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 good with this episodes CGI being movie quality good with it being really obvious to see where alot of the budget for these episodes went to as when you look at episodes from eve just a year or two ago they don't have better CGI then what were getting now in these specials with this episode being a very good example of that.

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

This episode not only take it name from but is also adapted from the comic book of the exact name with the comic strip appearing in Doctor Who Magazine. With the original comic strip appearing from February to April 1980 and being written by Pat Mills and John Wagner both of whom get referenced in the episode with a steel factory being named after the duo and while I haven't read the original comic strip and can there not tell you if this episode is faithful to the original comic strip or not I can say that it is great that Doctor Who is adapting more of the comic strip stories as there is a wealth of material out there that could possibly make for good episodes or even mini episodes.

With the return of the Noble family that does mean that we get the return of the comedy that only they can bring. With there quick witted comedy being  welcome return in this episode as this episode really does feel lie that it's the calm before the storm with the family getting alot of quick jokes in here and there all of which feel like jokes that they would do and all of which landed as they were that funny of a joke and while yes we do get confirmation that Rose is a transgender character they don't really hit you over the head with it with it only really being brought three times in the whole episode and while her character isn't as fully developed as sh could have been there is the markings of a truly character in there.

While we knew for a fact that we were getting a new Doctor Who theme and intro what we didn't really know for sure was if we were getting a new TARDIS interior. Well that's exactly what we got with this new TARDIS interior looking really good with it being a more bigger version of the first doctors TARDIS interior with the round things making a return only now they serve a purpose as being the main light source for the walls of the console room and there being multiple floors all connected by various ramp ways which does open itself up to more complex shots in the console room and while this new design is as good or as alien as say the first interior for the Eleventh Doctor for example it is still a really nice looking interior that looks really massive and it helps that this interior does have somewhat of an alien feel to it as well.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty seven minuets and eight seconds. Which is a solid running time for this episode to have as it does have alot of things to set up and it wouldn't be able to do any of that and still a good story but on the flip side of that is the fact that despite this episode having a longer running time the characters still don't get any kind of character of development which might be because these are special episodes being released weekly and so it could be that these characters could development over the next two episodes it is something that could have happened in this episode as the episode had more then enough time to give them some development and some fleshing out and I will admit that this episode really does ave some really good pacing to it.

So now then as 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 really good. With this episodes really being helped by the budget for all three specials as it allowed the team to really up the scale in terms of action as instead of the action mostly taking place in a quarry the best action set piece in this whole episode takes place in a fully populated London street with the team really getting ambitious with just how big the action in this episode really gets and that really does help the action in this episode feel alot bigger then the action in most of the episodes of this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall while, it is great to see Doctor Who and to have new Doctor Who content thus far these sixtieth anniversary specials aren't of to a good start with this episode not being as good as it could have or perhaps even should have been 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 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 this very review from the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being Google Images simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: An Unearthly Child Pilot Episode Version Review

 

Today is not just any day for you all see today is a very special as i'm writing this review on the exact day that Doctor Who first premiered on British TV screens all the way back in 1963 and well I couldn't think of a better thing to review. Then something that's from this truly iconic franchise however since the son of the first episodes original writer is keeping that entire first episode for himself I thought that i'd take a look at a Doctor Who episode that predates that one and so then join me as I review the pilot version of the episode that started it all with the pilot being called simply just "An Unearthly Child" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when her two school teachers become concerned about of their students they go to look for her only to stumble upon something that's truly out of this world. 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 honest 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's quite literally the exact same plot as the version of the episode that would eventually air but seeing how different plot beats play out in both versions of the episode and what things about the plot both big and small was interesting to say the least in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is William Hartnell as The Doctor , Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman and William Russell as Ian Chesterton. Also starring in this episode is Jacqueline Hill as Barbara Wright what's interesting is that this pilot only features how would go into become the four main leads  with all of the other characters being unnamed school students and while the same thing is also true for the aired version as well here as it wasn't leading onto anything at that point it felt like it was the BBC just trying to to save some money but that oddly works in this episode favor as it only kept the characters that were relevant to the plot of the episode whereas in more modern Doctor Who they would fill the first episode out with characters that aren't that essential to the plot of the episode.

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 alot of the cast turning in the exact same performance that they would later turn in the aired version of this episode while there are some changes to certain characters that does effect the acting alot of the performances in this episode match that of the original aired episode which just goes to show you just how good this cast was as they pretty much really nailed there character performance wise on the first go.

As someone who has the first serial in it's entirety several times it was weird seeing this unaired version of this classic episode. This is because it was so obviously a classic episode and so to see it what it was like before the episode had all of it's changes made to it be it from a performance point of view or a story point of view or even a lore point of view for that matter it felt weird as it was like I was watching a new episode of the show for the very first even tho it's quite literally the oldest ever episode of Doctor Who and yet it was also fascinating seeing a version of the show that might have been had there not been any changes forced on to the show changes which ultimately made the show the show that we all know and love to this very day.

There are alot and I mean alot of errors to be found n this very episode with the studio lights showing up on several occasions. On top of that we have actors flubbing lines which are kept in the episode we also have camera men bumping into the set and pieces of the set falling over and that's just the tip of the ice berg and all of which make it no wonder why this episode was filmed again as it makes the show overall look even cheaper then what it already is and while alot of the faults in this episode could be blamed on the BBC for giving the episode a very small studio to film in alot of the blame has to also go to the crew for not really working with what they had on the day as that would have made a huge difference.

Perhaps the biggest change made to the episode is how The Doctor himself is both written and performed as in the original episode he comes across and being grumpy yet childlike and understanding. All of which aren't present in this episode as in this version of the episode he comes across as being both grumpy and borderline abusive all of which is due to how the character was written in this episode and this s something that i'm glad that the Sydney Newman demanded be changed as The Doctor is meant to be of the main heroes of the show and as such he has to be somewhat likable and if the film "An Adventure In Space In Time" is anything to go by the character was sold to William Hartnell as having a twinkle in his eye and it's that twinkle in his eye that sadly isn't present in this version of the episode.

I'm not going to lie and say that this was a rough episode to get through because it really wasn't infact it was still a rather enjoyable episode to get through. As it has alot of potential to be a really good story and heck even some of the things that are add like Susan doing a Rorschach Test only to be horrified by it's results which was interesting as it seemed like that she knew that her grandfather wasn't a kind person and would try to do something to do her school teachers which is something that could have been explored if that idea was kept in the aired version of the episode and yet for some reason it was cut from the aired version which is weird as it would have given Susan an extra dimension to her character and it would have given her something to do other then just stand there and scream alot like she would eventually end up doing.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and six seconds. With this being the shorter version of this pilot episode as there is also a thirty six minuet version of this version of the episode as well with this version really having the really better running time as when you get right down to it there's no need to this episode to be anywhere even close to being forty minuets in length as the episode doesn't really have alot their interms of story to cover that large of amount of running time and while the extra long version might just be with alternate takes it doesn't mean that the episode has to be that long and to this episodes credit it does have some really good pacing to it.

So now then as this is a drama that means that I have to actually talk about the actual drama thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. As alot of the drama in this episode was really done and really built but at the same time time tho it was still strange seeing The Doctor act as this person who is at times borderline abusive to his granddaughter yes it comes from a good place but seeing him out right yell at her for something that she didn't know was going to happen in the first place just felt wrong in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while it was strange seeing a version of the shows very first episode that was never meant to air in the first place it was still interesting seeing what could have been in the show had this version of the episode been allowed to air in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as 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 Doctor Who fandom wiki page , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being Google Images simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are on Google Images  are all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition and a very happy sixtieth birthday to Doctor Who and here to many more years of fun , adventures and dangers all across time and space.

Urkel Saves Santa: The Movie! Film Review

 

We are now living in an age where nostalgia rules and where anything and everything that could be rebooted is getting rebooted. Well now then yet another character from the eighties is getting a new lease on life except this time it's with a christmas movie which for some really strange reason is being released right in the middle of November and so then join me as I review the film that was almost cancelled for good with the film in question being called simply just "Urkel Saves Santa: The Movie!" enjoy.

The plot of the film is when Steve Urkel almost ruins christmas for good he decides to save christmas before it's far to late. 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 plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as it was a really fun plot but at the same time it's also a plot that doesn't really make alot of sense with alot of things not happening organically but because the plot demands that they happen which just makes the writing in this film seem really lazy in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is this films producer and Sonic The Hedgehog star Jaleel White as Steve Urkel , Urkelbot and Stefan Urkelle and Joel Kim Booster as Clerk Gary. Also starring in this film is Nicole Byer as Sheryl ,  Tiana Camacho as Robin and Child , Arturo Castro as Dudley and Robin's Dad , Zehra Fazal as Suli , Miltra Jouhari as Clerk Leslie , Wayne Knight as Mr. Hodges , Thomas Lennon as V.D.I , Larry Owens as Santa , Jay Pharoah as Jay-Z , Dana Snyder as Mr. Kalan and Bus Dispatch , Brian Totchi as Mr. Kochiyama , Janet Varney as Old Lady Buechler , Amber and Woman , Kym Whitley as Mrs. Paxson , Micheal Lyon Wooley as Dream Santa and Plastic Reindeer , Ray Wood Jr.s as Department Store Santa and Old Man Buechler , Miki Yamashita as Mrs. Kochiyama and Neighbor and Dallas Dupree Young as Jordan.

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 not that bad. With alot of the cast of this film tuning in some really good performances the issue is tho is that while this is a rather solid cast the films script doesn't give them much to work with interms of what their characters as such this films cast can't turn that good of a performance as this films just won't allow for them to do it.

Doing the animation for this film is the legends and he greats that are currently over at Snipple Animation Studios and Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about thew 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 with this film mixing animation styles really well and in a way that makes sense with the films animation really being helped by the fact that we have a couple of experienced animation studios who know what there doing working on this very film.

This film is of course very loosely based of off Family Matters with that show of course being the show that introduced the world to Steve Urkel. After only seeing the first episode of Family Matters I have to wonder why the makers of this film didn't lean more into the family aspect of this film as this is a christmas which means that having the theme of family and what it means to be a family and to have a family even if it's just a makeshift one would have made perfect sense and yet the film doesn't take full advantage of where it's title character came from as this film feels like a really bad episode of Family Matters and not at all like a good episode of the show which is a shame as there is potential for this film to be a great christmas classic of a film.

For those of you that are wondering this film was very nearly cancelled for good as it was due to air on HBO Max and Cartoon Network last year. With the film originally going the title "Did I Do That to the Holidays? A Steve Urkel Story" and yet with a bunch of other projects the film was pulled from both HBO Max and Cartoon Network and yet for some reason the filmmakers found a way to release the film direct to DVD which is the best way to release this movie as Family Matters as a franchise really doesn't have that many fans to really justify the film being released on either HBO Max and Cartoon Network and at least this way the film still gets to see the light of day.

This film oddly features songs that are co-written by this films writer and a writer for King Of The Hill Wyatt Cenac and Jean Grae. I will admit that for a direct to DVD film this films aren't that bad with this film featuring songs that are alot of the times better then the songs that are in Wish with the song "I Love Christmas" being the best sing in the whole entire film just due to how fun this song with the song also not being that badly sung either but oddly enough this films songs suffer the opposite problem that the songs from Wish suffer from as the songs in this film were to long and far to frequent with thee film having a song every couple of minuets.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty six minuets and fifty four seconds. Which was a bit on the long side for this film as when you get right down  to it this film really doesn't have alot of story that large amount of running time with this film featuring alot of scenes that are filler scenes as they add nothing to the overall plot of the film with them just being there to pad out the films running time and really nothing more that with the alot of the films songs also feeling like filler scenes as well with this film also really feeling like that it's on repeat mode quite alot of the time as well but I will admit that this film really does some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as 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 film well the  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 With this film having some genuinely really funny moments in it all of which come from the Steve Urkel and seeing just what a destructible force of nature that he is and while this film does also feature some bad jokes as well those jokes are in the minority with the film really having more good jokes in it then it does good jokes in this very film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this film was alot better then what it really had any right to be and while it most likely won't cause Family Matters to earn any new fans what it will do is give a nice Christmas themed that both kids and adults can really enjoy in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film really does earn 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 boy 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 Sound Effects fandom wiki page , the official Family Matter fandom wiki page and google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being Google Images simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are on Google Images  are all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: The Face Of Evil Review

 

This is it we now in the week of the sixtieth anniversary specials with Doctor Who having a very busy week this week. As not only do we have the start of the sixtieth anniversary specials to look forward to but we also have the debut of new colorized reedit of the very first daleks serial and well I thought that i'd review some more classic Doctor Who for you all and so then join me as I review the episode that introduces us to a new companion with the episode in question being called simply just "The Face Of Evil" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Doctor finds himself landing on a jungle planet he finds himself having to help to the planets cave people like inhabitants and save them from a computer that has a split personality. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about thew 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 all that bad as this episodes plot was genuinely really quite engaging and was at times also really quite entertaining and well written when it really wanted to be as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Tom Baker as The Doctor and the voice of Xoanon and Louise Jameson as Leela. Also starring in this episode is David Garfield as Neeva , Victor Lucas as Andor , Brendan Price as Tomas , Leslie Schofield as Calib , Colin Thomas as Sole , Lloyd McGuire as Lugo , Leon Eagles as Jabel , Mike Elles as Gentek , Peter Baldock as An Acolyte , Rob Edwards as the voice of Xoanon , Pamela Salem as the voice of Xoanon , Anthony Frieze as the voice of Xoanon and Roy Herrick as the voice of Xoanon.

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 tn in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which for this show isn't really all that new as alot of this shows episodes contain some really good acting in them with this episode being no exception as we do get to see some truly wonderful acting in this episode with this being helped by the fact that not only is this episodes made up of some mostly good actors but it's also due to the fact that the script for this episode is so good that all the episodes have to do is just the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally.

As I mentioned at the start of this review this is the episode that sees the introduction of the character of Leela. I have to admit that only just based of off this episode and this episode alone Leela does seem like a pretty fun character with er more having street smarts and battle smarts which does put her at odds with the doctor's more pacifist ways of doing things and that is something that does create an interesting dynamic between the two characters and giving her a bit of an attitude does go along way to making her seem like she's a really un character as it means that she's not willing to take no for an answer and is more wiling to do what she wants to do just because she can do which is something that Doctor Who companion doesn't typically have.

Even tho both this episode and the previous episode have The Doctor be without a companion we don't really get to see just how that effects his personality. Which is a shame because as we all know when The Doctor goes without a companion for so long he basically starts acting like The Master with The Doctor needing a companion not only to talk to but also to remind him of his humanity which makes it all the more shocking that this episode didn't have him close to acting how The Master acts as by this point he'd been without Sarah Jane Smith for quite sometime and as such it would be really reasonable to assume that he would start acting like a villain as he's really had no one there to remind of his humanity.

While I do like the idea of the planet in this episode being one that The Doctor has visited before this episode. This episode doesn't go all the way with it as instead of it being a known planet in the world of Doctor Who it's instead one that we haven't heard of or even seen until this episode which means that the episode looses alot of it's emotional impact as it would have been much more better if the planet that this episodes takes place on was one that we'd seen before now like Skaro for example as then we'd know the planet and seeing how The Doctor had a negative impact on the planet would be all the more impactful as we know just evil a planet like Skaro could be and even was before The Doctor got involved in the first place. 

The cliffhanger ending of the end of part one is said to be one the best Doctor Who cliffhangers for most of the classic era. While this cliffhanger isn't as good as say the end of The Daleks episode one it is a really good cliffhanger as it leaves you wondering why The Doctor's face is in the side of a mountain and that is something that sets up a mystery for the remaining three episodes but at the same time it's not really a cliffhanger that makes you want to watch the next episode either which is something that the ending for The Daleks part one did do but with that being said if someone was to say that they really loved this cliffhanger ending I would totally understand why as it is a very striking image and it really is a really very well done cliffhanger as well.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember what this episodes grand total running time even was I do that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and thirty minuets. With this story being four episodes long which is a bit of an issue as there's plenty of story there to cover at least five or six episodes and with that extra time the episodes could have developed more of characters and even shown us just how the relationship between The Doctor and Leela was going to be moving forward and showing them form some sort of a bond with each other both of which are key to showing us why Leela is going to be The Doctor's latest companion but I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it.

So now then as this is an action how 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. As it does give us a chance to see how Leela would be able to handle herself in a fight and while the action in this episode isn't as good as it perhaps could have been it's alot better then what it really could have been as well as the action in classic Doctor Who is never really that good and yet to see an episode that does some pretty good action in it just goes to show that the makers of this era of the show know how to do some really good looking action scenes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a really solid and I can see why alot of Doctor Who fans seem to really like this episode but at the same time this isn't the best Tom Baker Doctor Who episode either 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 , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being Google Images simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are on Google Images  are all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions Of The Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters TV Series

The Godzilla franchise has taken on many forms over it's near seventy years of existence and yet the one form it's never taken is an American live action TV show. Well that all ends right now with the return of the Monsterverse as for the first time ever we have an American Godzilla live action TV show and well you all just knew that I had to talk about the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the series that sees the king of the monsters tackle the world of TV with the series in question being called simply just "Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when  her father dies Kate discovers a secret that connects him to the organization known as Monarch. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad with both of these first two episodes doing a really good of setting up the main plot of the show as well telling some really and at times some really very entertaining and at times very engaging plots in their right as well in freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these first two episodes is F9 star Anna Sawai as Cate and The Flash star Kiersey Clemons as May. Also starring in these first two episodes is 461 Days Of Bento Ren Watabe as Kentaro , Kate star Mari Yamamoto as Keiko , The Muppets Mayhem Anders Holm as William "Bill" Randa , Joe Tippett as Tim , The Falcon And The Winter Soldier star Wyatt Russell as Lee Shaw , Kurt Russell as Older Lee Shaw and Takehiro Hira as Hiroshi.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. Which was really surprising alot of the cast for this show is mostly unknown and so to expect great acting from them wouldn't have been the best of moves and yet in these first two episodes the cast gave us some really good performances which is helped by the fact that the scripts for these first two episodes is so good that all the cast have to do is just the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally as that's,just how good the acting is in the first two episodes of this show.

For once I have no idea who did the CGI for these first two episodes as there's no effects company listed anywhere on IMDB. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these first episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good while the CGI in this show will never top the CGI in the movies just for budget reasons that doesn't mean that the CGI in these first two episodes was bad as it really wasn't as we get alot of really cool looking CGI effects in these first two episodes alone.

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

To connect this show to the Monsterverse we do have confirmation that this show takes place after the 2014 Godzilla and we also get John Goodman back as Bill Randa. With his scene at the start of episode one taking place during the events of Kong: Skull Island with alot of what we see in his scene connecting up really well with what we see in that film which just goes to show you that this is a cinematic universe that really is well thought out as everything that we see in both Godzilla's 2014 set scenes and older Bill's scenes matching up perfectly what we what we saw in their respective films which is something that alot of films and TV shows would fail to do for really a variety of different reasons.

The first episode of this show does make alot of use of time travel which did start to get quite confusing. As they would jump from one scene taking place in say 2013 and then the very next scene would take place in 2015 with nothing really connecting the two scenes but then we have scenes that are taking place in the nineteen fifties and while we do get a title card at the start of each scene the first time that we see them it would have been better if we got more of them all throughout the first episode as it really did start to get confusing the more episode one went one thankfully tho they did seem to calm down a bit on jumping around in time which did make it easier to understand just what time period we were in during certain scenes which did make episode two alot more easier to follow along with.

The human characters so far do seem to pretty one dimensional which is pretty par the course for the Godzilla franchise. However there is one thing that really did bug me when it comes to the human characters and that's the fact that the nineteen fifties scene feature an Asian woman working for the American government which just wouldn't happen and while yes this is a fantasy type of show and so it's not really bound to the rules of our world the Godzilla franchise is a fantasy series that's based on reality which means that there wouldn't be an Asian woman working for the American army especially so close after the second world war and the attack on Pearl Harbor but she is most probably the best character in the scenes that are set within the nineteen fifties thus far.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty nine minuets and forty eight seconds with episode having a grand total running time of exactly forty six minuets and eighteen seconds. With episode two having the better running as while episode one rather rightfully has the longer running time due to how much that it has to set up it also takes alot of time getting going where as with episode two it gets going right away and it helps that both episodes really do have more then enough there interms of plot to cover both of their respective running times with both episodes not really having alot of filler scenes as alot of the scenes in both of the episodes are needed in order to tell the plot of the show as best that they can do and it helps that both of these first two really do have some really good pacing to the as well. 

So now then as 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 these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. While the action in these first two episodes wasn't as good as the action that we'd get in the movies it was still alot better then the action that we get i most modern TV shows as the action in these first two episodes was really cool looking and creative with all of the action looking really good and being genuinely really exiting to see as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall these weren't a bad set of episodes to kick start this show of with as they did a good of setting up the characters and setting up the rest of the plot for the rest of the show itself in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well all of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very 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 episode airs or even is released online and then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images hat I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and  as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in his very post from the official Godzilla fandom wiki page , Wikizilla 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 Wikizilla since all of the images that are currently up and and on Wikizilla are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.
