Wednesday: If These Woes Could Talk SPOILER FILLED Review

It really is safe to say that Wednesday is one of the best shows on Netflix right now with the show even being confirmed for a third season before it's second season had even started airing. Speaking of the second season we are now just a week away before the release date of the final four episodes of this season as such it was only about right that I review the mid season finale for the show and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the episode that might have a more obscure cameo from a member of the Addams Family in it with the episode in question being called simply just "If These Woes Could Talk" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Fester and other members of the Addams Family find themselves helping out Wednesday in he investigation but something happens that will shake Wednesday to her very core. Now then interms of that I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being the kind of plot that you could see working as a plot to an Addams Family movie as the plot of this episode is that big and is that epic but at the same time tho it is a plot that does work well enough for a mid season finale as well as while it does solve one mystery it doesn't resolve the other mystery either which is great as that then gives us more reasons to watch the second half of season 2 with this episodes plot also being an oddly fun episode as well with the only real downside plot wise being the fact that it feels more like the plot of a Fester spin-off show then it does an episode of this show as this episode is a little bit more weird and out there with it's plot where as with the typical Wednesday plot it's usually alot more mysterious with things being drip fed to us the audience and while having a plot that's kind of out there does work for this character as all of the members of the Addams Family are very out there characters it also feels like that it's going against the style of plots from the rest of this show as well with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  

Starring in this episode is this shows executive producer Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams and Steve Buscemi as Principal Barry Dort. Also starring in this episode is Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair , Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin , Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay , Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Ottinger , Georgie Farmer as Ajax Petropolus , Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams , Owen Painter as Slurp , Billie Piper as Isadora Capri , Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Sheriff Ritchie Santiago , Victor Dorobantu as Thing , Noah Taylor as Bruno Yuson , Evie Templeton as Agnes DeMille , Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Rachael Fairburn , Christopher Lloyd as Professor Orloff , Joonas Suotamo as Lurch , Heather Matarazzo as Judi , Frances O'Connor as Francoise Galpin , Christina Ricci as Marilyn Thornhill , Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams.

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 actors turning in some really good performances which is something that really does make alot of sense as alot of this episodes actors are reprising their roles from the previous season and therefor do have a better grip on how best to portray there respective characters but even those that joined the show in this season are still really good with alot of them being more then capable of holding their own acting wise when it comes to acting against the more established series stars and while it would be very tempting to say that Jenna Ortega is the best actor in this episode the fact is that that's not even close to being true as that honor goes to Fred Armisen who does make for a really good Uncle Fester with him more then capturing the characters more eccentric nature whilst also showing us that much like his niece he to does use people alot of the time and while Fred won't ever be able to top what Christopher Lloyd did with the characters in the nineties movies he does take the character and make him his own in this episode which is something that does make the character feel fresh and new all over again with the acting that's in this episode really being helped by the fact that the scrips for this episode is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode. 

Doing the CGI for this episode is Alter Ego , CoSA VFX , Folks VFX , Herne Hill Media , Incessant Rain Studios , Monsters Aliens Robots Zombies , PowerHouse VFX , Rocket Science VFX , Rodeo FX , Scanline VFX , Take 5 VFX , VFX Legion and WeFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as this episodes CGI was for a streaming TV show really impressive but at the same time tho The Hyde creature whilst it does look better in this episode still looks a little bit like a cartoon with the only reason that it looks so good in this episode being due to the fact that the camera doesn't really focus on it much and when it does the episode quickly cuts away from it which does help things but at the same time tho the creature still looks pretty bad and if this is something that's not going to be fixed then the makers of this show will have to consider not using The Hyde as a character as the fans of this show have been saying since season 1 that it doesn't look that good and whilst it does look a little bit better this season it's still a bad looking creature with the rest of the episodes CGI mainly being background replacements and set enhancements all of which do look pretty good as those are the only reason as to why CGI should even be used in the first place as all your doing is changing things that couldn't be done on the day as there shouldn't be bad CGI doubles of characters as all those do is age the effects more quickly.

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

While there is one major name that I didn't mention in this review that of course being the fact that we have Dame Joanna Lumley as Grandmama she really doesn't do all that much in this episode and so it really wasn't worth mentioning her. However the character that does get to do quite alot in this episode is Uncle Fester so much so that at times this does feel like a test episode of a possible Uncle Fester spinoff show as while the episode does still tie into the main plot of this season and feature alot of the main actors there's alot more focus given to Uncle Fester then what there was last season where he only appeared in a guest role in one episode where as here he takes centre stage with Wednesday enlisting his help in finding out just who or what Lois is and what she or it has to do with Willow Hill Hospital which he does by willingly getting himself committed there which in all fairness to the episode does seem like something that he would do as is the fact that to him a mental hospital is more like a holiday which only serves to make all of his scenes in the hospital all the more fun to watch but at the same time tho we come to a show called Wednesday expecting to see her be the main character of the episode and yet here she felt more like the side character which again in all fairness to the episode might have been because of the fact that they might have been filming other episodes of the show and so it just worked out easier to have only be in a few key scenes in this episode but again they could have had play a more active role in the plot of episode instead of just sitting around alot of the time until the third act of the episode.

At the start of the review I mentioned that this episode might possibly feature a cameo from an obscure member of the Addams Family as if you recall when Fester and Wednesday are looking at the Lois inmates where there at Willow Hill. There's one character that doesn't get name checked in the episode and it's also the only one that Wednesday willingly helps at the end of the episode as well as I do very strongly believe that that character is Ophelia Addams as it does seem weird that they would shout out the names of alot of the other inmates but not her and given the fact that the character was said to be at that hospital it does sort of make sense that that unnamed character would be her with the episode even ending on a cliffhanger with Tyler in fully on Hyde mode throwing Wednesday out of a top floor window in the hospital and leaving her severely injured and while we know that she won't die as the show had already been renewed for a third season it was still weird that the trailer for part 2 of season 2 would straight up reveal that not only does she survive this incident but also that Larissa Weems is her new spirit guide something which would have been more of a surprise if we didn't know it was coming as then you could have the shock value of seeing Gwendoline Christie again in the show and we could also be left wondering if and how Wednesday did survive the fall at the end of this episode but now none of that is possible because of the fact that the first seconds of the trailer tells us not only is Wednesday alive and well but also just who her new spirit guide is in the first place as all that does is ruin what could have been some really cool surprises when the makers of this show wouldn't have had to have done that much promote season 2 part 2 as alot of people would have been watching it in the first place due to how popular that this show is in the first place.

Whilst this show has always had horror elements to it even dating back to it's first ever episode the show especially in the first season always found that perfect mixture between horror and comedy. This is something that was kind of lost in this half of season 2 with there being more of a focus on the horror aspect of the show then the comedy aspect of it with the worst example of this being in this episode where we get to see several characters including Marilyn Thornhill who quite literally gets stabbed in the back by The Hyde with other characters getting their brains eaten by Slurp and while it does make sense for them to have a heavier focus on horror in this episode in particular due to the fact it is the mid season finale and they do need to give us a hook for the rest of the season by focusing more on the one aspect not enough on the other it makes the comedy aspect of the episode seem alot more weaker in comparison when even the makers of this show have proven in season one that they can balance the two of them out really well by having these really dark jokes happen either just before or just after someone is killed off and yet here they got rid of all of that just to focus more on the horror aspect of the show and while yes there is still some jokes in this episode it kind of felt like that they were taking a backseat when compared to the shows horror elements and while yes The Addams Family has always been a horror brand they all knew when to tell a joke and when to be creepy and cooky as well with even the recent animated movies still having that fine balance between horror and comedy as you have to have that fine balance in order to be a horror comedy.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and nineteen seconds. Which to be fair to this episode that is a perfectly solid running time for this episode with this episode having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time and while this episode doesn't really use it's running time by fully developing it's plot or it's characters it could be argued that both the plot of this episode and it's characters get developed in the previous episodes of the show which would be a fair argument as they do get alot of development in the other episodes and therefor they don't really need developing in this episode as there's nothing that the makers of this episode could have done without repeating themselves and with this episode being the mid-season finale they don't really need to develop any of it's plot or characters but what they could have done is give more screen time to characters that we're going to get to know about in part 2 like Grandmama for example who only appears in a few scenes before not being mentioned again in the episode and Barry Dort who again only gets a few scenes all of which just hit home the point that he's got something to do with the seasons big mystery and that's really it it still would have been nice if we got more scenes with either character as that could then make us the audience think either there evil or there good guys but because of the fact that the episode doesn't do that we get to find out very little about Grandmama and nothing new about Barry Dort is revealed in the episode but i really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in is 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. As while the episode doesn't have that great of a focus on it's comedy we still get alot of really decent jokes in this episode with Fester getting alot of this episodes jokes which is something that does make alot of sense as the character does allow for there to be alot of weird jokes due to his own eccentric personality but at the same time tho it would have worked more in the episodes favor if the episode did have a fifty fifty balance between its horror aspect and its comedy aspect with even Wednesday getting a few decent one liners in tis episode but they don't top anything that Fester says or does in this episode as he does have alot of really funny jokes in this episode with the best joke in the whole episode being when Fester zaps Agnes DeMille just because of the fact that he can hear her lurking but then what really sells the joke is the fact that he then gives her advice on how to lurk in silence something which she happily takes on board which is a really solid joke and one that feels true to both characters and while the hotel bathroom scene with Fester is also really funny just due to how well done that that joke is it's also one that you know is an act because of the fact that he's openly trying to get himself committed where as the one with Agnes is one that you don't really see coming and therefor it catches you of guard due to how good of a joke that it is in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall if the ending of this episode is anything to go by then we are in for hell of ride next week when part 2 of this current season drops as this episode despite it feeling more like an episode for a Fester spinoff show then a Wednesday show is still a really good episode in it's own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

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

South Park "Ike's W** W**" Review

As has been proven in recent weeks South Park really is still culturally relevant today as it was back in the mid to late nineties. While there really are longer breaks now between seasons and even longer breaks between specials when we do get a new episode it is usually gold however I want to take you all back to a time when it really was cool to talk about the latest episode of South Park behind your parents backs at school with your friends and so then join me as I review the episode that makes Mr. Mackey the main character of the episode with the episode in question being called simply just "Ike's W** W**" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when school councilor Mr. Mackey is fired he goes down a dark road all the while the boys try and prevent Kyle's brother Ike from going through something called bris. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being one of the more better examples of just how fresh and different that the show was back in it's nineties heyday as while yes this episodes plot is dumb and simple it's dumb and simple in all of the best ways possible as this is a show that really doesn't need deep and thought provoking plots for it's episodes to work it just needs simple plots that can then be blown up to the point where they become comical because of how much that they've been blown way out of proportion but at the same time tho this is a plot that isn't the strongest plot out there as well as both plots even when there put together aren't that strong enough to support an entire episode of the show with the episode even making it harder to work out just which is meant to be the main plot of the episode and which is meant to be the side plot as there both as ridiculous as each other but you could also argue that that's the not only the charm of the show as a whole but also the point of the episode as both of these plots are ridiculous and there both of them could very easily be both the main plot and the side plot of any given South Park episode with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is the is episodes writer , director and the shows co-creator Trey Parker as Stan Marsh , Eric Cartman , Mr. Garrison , Mr. Mackey , TV Announcer , Homeless Man , Hippie 2 , Nebraskan Man , Bris Attendee and Dr. Schwartz and this show co-creator Matt Stone as Kyle Broflovski , Kenny McCormick , Heckler 2 , Bartender , Mr. Freely , Gerald Broflovski , Ticket Salesman , Hippie 1 , Priest Maxi , Barman and Jimbo Kern. Also starring in this episode is Mary Kay Bergman as Principal Victoria , Mrs. Crabtree , Heckler 1 , Sheila Broflovski , Woman At Train Station , Hippie Woman and Miss Social Worker , Bruce Howell as Uncle Murray , Jesse Brant Howell as Ike Broflovski and Isaac Hayes as Chef.

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 actors turning in some really good performances which is something that really does make alot of sense as all of this episodes actors are a bunch of really good actors in their own right an really do know hoe to deliver a good performance and with alot of them being in the show from the very beginning they would of course have a much more better handle on all of their characters and would really know how best to perform there characters and what kind of performance would best suit there respective characters in any given situation with the best actor in this episode being Trey Parker with him really making sure that all of his characters both sound vastly different from one another and act differently from each other as well with him also being the shows director he really does know what kind of performance would suit that scene that he's currently putting together in his head and nine times out of ten in this episode he was right to go with his gut with the acting that's in this very episode really bein helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at South Park Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with there being alot of depth in the episodes backgrounds which does oddly enough make the quality of this episodes animation seem to be a whole more higher then what it really had any right to be as with this show being down using cut out animation it does make it easy for the makers of this show just to not give that much attention to detail when it comes to the episodes animation and yet the very fact that there is alot of attention to detail in this episode from an animation point of view it does go to show that this shows animators really do have a love and care for the show and while it is hard to judge the characters movements as again this show is down with cut out animation or in the case of the series as a whole a computer programme that emulates that look and style but what can be said for sure is that this episodes animation is of a really high quality with this being due to the fat that instead of working on several episodes at once the animators instead send the entire week just working on the one episode and therefor they can give that one episode there full attention with that being something that really does shine through in this episode as it makes the animation in this episode be alot more better then what it really had any right to be.

What felt really odd during this episode is the fact that Mr. Mackey is essentially the main character of the episode. With the makers of this episode showing us things like where he lives and just how dedicated that he is to his job but even so it's hard to picture this character as the main character of an episode as just outside of the way he he says OK and the fact that he has a big head there's nothing quirky enough about this character that demands that he lead his own plot in an episode of the show but in saying that tho given the fact that he is one of the shows longest running characters and is a bit of a fan favorite character it was nice to see him get an episode that's dedicated to him but what would have made the episode feel worth it was if the episode actually showed us some of his backstory something which they could have gone into when he was sleeping next to the homeless man as that's kind of the point of a focus episode as this would then allow for us the audience to feel more for the character then what we already do in the first place but again just like with the plot it could be argued that not finding out that much about him is kind of the point of the episode as this whole episode is pretty much a spoof on anti drug PSA's and in those you never really get to know the main character with the only thing here that makes Mr. Mackey still be himself is the fact that he openly to never taking any kind of drugs even people are insisting that he did which is something that does add to the satire that the show is known for but it really would have worked more to this episodes advantage if we got to know about more him as a character as that could have made the episode better and the character himself all the more likable then what he already is in the first place.

Usually in this show it's Kyle , Stan , Kenny and Cartman that are the main characters of the episode as they are the main characters of the show. However here they feel more like side characters with there plot with Kyle's brother Ike having nothing to do with the Mr. Mackey plot line with the only thing of note to come from this plot is the fact that this is the episode where it's straight up confirmed that Ike is Kyle's adopted brother and is from Canada something which had never been mentioned before now with that revelation being something that does play a big part of the episode and Kyle is then forced to question if he and Ike really are brothers which does see him refuse to take part in Ike's bris as to him Ike is no longer his brother and it's only when Ike goes and talks to him and pretty much says that even tho there not related blood they are still a family and shows him all of the pictures of the two of them happily playing together that Kyle does finally come to accept the fact that even tho they aren't related he and Ike are still brothers something which was a pretty scene to see as even tho we've seen Kyle get outright angry at Ike several times throughout the early episodes of the show they are there for each other when it matters the most but at the same time tho it was still odd seeing the characters that you usually think of as being the main characters of the show be reduced to being side characters and while neither plot line is strong enough to lead the episode the bond between Ike and Kyle is as that bond really does make there plot in the episode all the more worthwhile and while the Mr. Mackey plot is still a fun plot he still feels more like a side character coming out of the plot where as Ike feel more like a main character coming out of his plot due to how strong his relationship is with Kyle.

For some reason even tho both the fandom wiki page for the show and the shows Wikipedia page both of which have this episode listed as being episode three of the shows second series. Both IMDB and the DVD for the shows second season have this episode listed as being the fourth episode of the season with the order just being swapped with the episode "ChickenLover" this is a really odd thing to as does make it hard to judge which episode of the season that this episode is mean to be with there being no reason for this odd little thing and no one can say that this show was produced first and therefor that's why it's the third episode because the show was always produced on a weekly basis they've never made the entire season before airing one singular episode which does make it odd that in some sources this is episode three whereas according to others it's episode four with there not being a DVD commentary on the DVD either as that would have been something that could have helped to clear the matter up but if official sources like the DVD for season are saying that this is fourth episode then why are the more fan made source like the shows fandom wiki page and to a lesser extent Wikipedia saying that it's the third episode of the show as surly just going by the more official sources would have been more then enough to clear up any kind of confusion and while this has nothing to do with the episode it is something that does make you wonder not only which one it is as for all we could know the numbers were switched after airing and while the show and the season isn't of course effected by this is it is something that could possibly confuse some people.

Now then this episode has / has an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and forty six seconds. Which in all fairness to this episode this is pretty much the exact grand total running time for the rest of the show as a whole as well with this episode really having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but in saying that tho this episode really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as neither plot is that well developed with it feeling like that things are just happening not to advance either plot of the episode but rather it's just for no apparent reason whatsoever which does lessen the Mr. Mackey plot as there is plenty of stuff there that could have been added that would have made his plot for the episode all the more better and stronger then what it already is and while the main four boys don't really need any more character development in this episode as they have several other episodes in which to get across alot of there development the one character who really did need some character development in this episode was Mr. Mackey as the makers of this episode could have used his plot to develop his character a bit more by adding some backstory to the character instead of keeping him as a very one note character albeit one that does have alot of mileage in him but for whatever reason the makers of this episode chose not to give him any character development whatsoever but in fairness tho his lack of character development doesn't harm the episode as a whole as the episode still does work but it is something that would have made the episode be a whole more better in the long run then what it already is in the first place but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean 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 really good. With this episode having alot of painfully funny jokes in it like the fact that when the people of South Park stat making fun of Mr. Mackey after he gets fired the camera then pulls back and reveals that people are quite literally causing a traffic jam just to insult hm which is a really good joke as is the fact that the Kyle just sends his brother on a train to the furthest place that the train goes to that being Nebraska and the fact that everyone there all mistake Ike for something other then a baby but none of those have a candle on the best joke of the episode which is the simple joke of the boys just making fun of how Mr. Mackey talks by copying his speech pattern something which he has no idea that there doing in the first place which is such a simple joke that it works really well as it doesn't require much set up and it adds nothing to the plot of the episode it's just a simple and silly joke and it's one that does work really well in the episode so much so that they then bring it back at the end of the episode as well with all of this episodes jokes also being some really funny jokes in their own right as well as they all do show us just how funny that this show not only is but also was when the show was at it's height as this episode really does have some really funny jokes in it all of which while there not the shows best jokes are ones that do work really well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a really good episode and is a really good example of just how good that this episode can be and with the show still being as funny and a relevant as ever in it's more recent season 27 episodes then it's safe to say that this show really does have alot more milage left in it 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 his very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

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

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers "A Bad Reflection On You" Review

One of the favorite things for the Power Rangers to do is to have an evil Ranger with this being mist well done in the Green With Evil five parter. However many people seem to forget or just straight up don't know about the fact that season of this show also did another episode where clones of the rangers were used to destroy their reputation and it's that very episode that i'm going to be talking to you all about today an so then join me as I review the episode that really is basically just The Breakfast Club but with Power Rangers with the episode in question being called simply just "A Bad Reflection On You" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when evil clone of the rangers are sent to Earth by Rita to destroy the rangers reputation it's up to the Rangers to breakout of detention and save the world once again.

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 alot more better then what it really had any right to be. As by all rights this episodes acting should have been really bad as this is a plot that really doesn't require the best acting in it in the first place and given that Power Rangers still isn't best known for it's great acting it's shocking to see the acting that was in this episode was actually pretty good granted it's not OSCAR worthy acing but at the same time tho it was never going to be with this episodes actors even turning in some really good performances in their own right as well which is something that does make alot of sense when it comes to the series main actors as they'd been playing there characters for quite sometime at this point in time and so they would have gotten a much more better grip on there characters and can deliver the kind of performance that would best suit there respective characters with it really being hard to say just who the best actor is in this episode as without going the more cliche route and say that it's Bryan Cranston the best actor in this episode would have to be Thuy Trang as even tho she doesn't get alot of lines in this episode what little lines that she does get she makes them count which does make you remember just how good of an actor that she really was with the acting that's in this episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script was just so bad as it gives none f this episodes actors absolutely nothing to work interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities was even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

What felt really weird in this episode was the fact that the characters of Bulk & Skull were thrown into detention with the rest of the rangers this is despite the fact that Bulk & Skull as far as we'd seen haven't done anything wrong. Which does make there inclusion in this episode feel pretty pointless as all they are there to do is just to give the rangers a small off handed hint that somethings not right just by having Kim turn down another date from Skull something which her evil counterpart failed to do and even then that doesn't really require them to be in the episode as much as they are they as the rangers know full well that somethings up just by the fact that the got detention for doing nothing at all and the fact that there's a news report with there evil counterparts attacking the city which does make the inclusion of Bulk & Skull in this episode feel pretty pointless despite there somewhat expended roles in the episode now if Bulk & Skull were present when the evil rangers pulled there prank and Mr. Caplan assumed that they were in on it just due to the fact hat there schools bullies then what would be a different thing as that would be one character just simply making a rash decision and that's really it but it's the fact that they weren't there in the first place with them only appearing before the prank talk place and yet still round up in detention with the rangers granted they could have been punished for doing something else which would be fair enough but the episode doesn't tell us that so therefor we have to assume that there being punished for the same thing that the rangers did which is something that's just unfair as they technically do nothing wrong the entire episode. 

Whilst there was another episode earlier on in season 1 of this show that did have two of the original five rangers be turned evil this is the first time that we see evil clones of the rangers. With really the only thing that makes them evil is the fact that when they remove there glasses there eyes glow red for some bizarre reason as they don't dress any different from the rangers but in fairness to this episode they all do act differently from them with them all acting like school bullies with Billy even shoving down one of the more geekier kids in school and while the idea of the showing us the evil clones is a cool idea it is something that does make you wonder how Rita knows what the rangers look like unmorphed because she quite clearly does know what they look like unmorphed and yet the worst thing that she has them don is pull a prank on the school Principal when they would have been able to teleport into the command centre and attack Zordon and possibly even destroy the base something which would hsve helped her out in her quest to destroy the world and while yes just attacking the school does make sense as this is still a kids shows afterall from the point of view of the villain and from within the confides of the show itself it's not somethin that does make that much sense as she's meant to be this all evil character who is hell bent on destroying the world and the rangers and here she has the golden opportunity to do just that by having the evil clones attack the rangers command centre and Zordon and Alpha an yet she doesn't take it but to give her some credit the idea of creating evil clones of the rangers is a good idea as it is something that does leave you wondering who is the good guy and who is the bad guy when it come to the final fight.

Early episodes of this show is also slightly known for it's continuity issues due to the fact that the Sentai footage doesn't always match with what there showing on screen. With the same thing being true here as well as the in the final fight the rangers go from celebrating on a street to being in the middle of something else that has a giant flower celebration type of object in the middle of it which is something that you can sort of look past as you could argue that it was there all along and that we just never saw it however the issues still continue after that as we see at the very least two very Japanese looking kids approaching Billy in the wide shot and yet in the close up shot it's one very white looking older lady and one man this is a case where the makers of this episode should have tried to hire Asian looking actors as extra as that's something that would have helped to blend the Japanese footage alot more better with the American footage as as by not doing that all it does is create continuity issues but again this isn't something that's exclusive to this episode as it's something that also happens quite alot in the show as a whole as well and while some of it isn't that really that noticeable as you can edit around certain things to blend the scenes together more smoothly here it did feel like that the makers of this show just couldn't be bothered to do that and so they kept in the continuity error with Billy most likely thinking that the kid audience wouldn't notice it which is fair enough and again to be fair nobody really notices all of the continuity issues when it comes to the episodes action scenes in the first place as alot of that isn't due to the fault of this show as there just making the best with what footage that they've got to work with in the first place.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and six seconds. Which in all fairness to this episode is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show at this point in time with the episode not quite having enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time as you very easily could have told this episodes entire plot in about five to ten minuets just by removing or cutting upon all of the stuff in the school's detention as alot of that really isn't needed as it adds nothing to the plot of the episode and is only there for pure filler with the episode really using it's running tom as wisely as it could have done as while yes granted this episode doesn't fully develop it's plot at the same time it really doesn't need to as you all you really need for a show like Power Rangers is just the basic premise and that's it and while yes alot of the multipart episode do benefit from having a well more developed plot this isn't an episode that really needs as this is meant to be the calm before the storm as just two episodes later we'd get the Doomsday two parter with this episode not even fully developing any of it's characters either which again it really doesn't need to as you could very well make the case for the previous episodes giving all the main hero characters all of the development that they need with even Bulk & Skull get there character developed over the course of several series but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really bad pacing to it tho as to be blunt the episode and more importantly the final fight scene goes by far to quickly for us the audience to fully enjoy it.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us 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 episode having alot of really cool action in it with the only thing that does let the action down is the fact that you really can't tell who the good rangers are and who the evil rangers which yes is due to the Sentai footage but at the same time there could have been something added to the suits of the evil rangers just to make them standout a bit even if it's something as simple as adding a slight glitter effect to them as that then would make it so much more easier for us the audience to tell just who the good rangers are and who the evil rangers with the best action scene in this whole entire episode also being the only action scene in this episode and that's the final fight between both sets of rangers as it will always be cool seeing the hero rangers fighting there evil clones with the camera even doing some really cool looking one shot moves as well which is something that only served to make the action even more cooler then what it already is with this episodes action being helped by the fact that the even the hero rangers can't tell each other apart which does an extra layer of drama to the scene as you never really know if the person that there attacking is a friend or foe which is something that does make that action scene all the more exciting in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall whilst it is hard to say if this is the best episode of the show or not as there are countless others from countless season that could very easily take that claim what can be said tho is that despite all of this episodes flaws that this episode really is a fun filled episode that is pure fun to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 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 Power Rangers fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: The Ticket Master Review

As a franchise My Little Pony has been going on for quite literally decades with the franchise spawning several TV shows and movies. However there's no question that it became more popular then it's ever been in 2010 thanks to the release of Friendship Is Magic and well it's been a while since an episode of that show was last talked about by me so I thought that i'd dive right back in and review another episode of the show and so then join me as I review the episode that really could been solved just a few minuets in with the episode in question being called simply just "The Ticket Master" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Twilight gets given a ticket to prestigious ball she has to chose just one of her friends to go with her a task that is made harder when all of Ponyville gets wind of the extra ticket and wants to go as well. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad however tho this episodes plot wasn't all that good as it did come across as being like the kind of plot that you'd expect to find in a filler episode of an anime in that all it was there was to basically show you what the rest of the shows plots could be like moving forward which in all fairness is a pretty decent thing to do and even with that in mind this episodes plot was still a really fun plot that offered alot of really fun and more often then not funny interactions between all of the characters however when the previous two episodes went out of there way to show you just how epic that the show could be with it's more mature themes and storytelling it does feel out of place for this episode to suddenly go the more family friendly route which is something that does make sense as this was a show that was made for the whole family but at the same time it does kind of feel weird that after this truly epic two part episode we now get five of the six main characters arguing over a spare ticket when in just the last episode alone they were working together to save their world and while it's understandable to have the more epic plot come first as it sets up all of the main characters there could have been something in this plot that made it a little bit epic in it's own unique way with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is voice acting legend and Beetlejuice: The Animated Series star Tara Strong as Twilight Sparkle and Ashleigh Ball as Applejack and Rainbow Dash. Also starring in this episode is Andrea Libman as Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy , Star Wars: Ewoks , Swamp Thing and Beetlejuice: The Animated Series star Tabitha St. Germain as Rarity and Iron Man: Armored Adventures star Cathy Weseluck as Spike.

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 it being clear as day that all of this episodes main actors have alot of really great chemistry together even tho there were most likely not even in the same room when the episode was being made in the first place with all of them turning in some really good performances in their own right which is something that really does make alot of sense as alot of this episodes actors are a bunch of really good actors in their own right with alot of them voicing characters from our own childhoods and pretty much being THE voices for these characters as that's just how good that all five of them really are in this episode and while only five actors in the whole show is a small list of actors to have it is something that does work well enough for this episode as it allows for all of this episodes to get alot of screen time and to show us just how good of an actors that they all are with the episodes best actor being Tara Strong which yes is a bit of cliche thing to say but she really is good in this episode as she goes from being painfully funny in one scene and then in the very same scene also be very serious and you totally by into it as it feels like something that her character would say and do with this episodes acting really being helped by this episodes script as the script for this episode is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Top Draw Animation. 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 good as while the show was always animated in flash because of the fact that it's cheaper to do it that way that is something that work well for this show and for this episode as this is a show and an episode that really doesn't require that much money be spent on it as it this point in the shows history it was still trying to find it's feet and to that end the shows animation does come across as being alot more better then what it really had any right to be as while yes the some of the characters movements can be a bit stiff at times when they get it looking good however the characters then have these really fluid looking movements to them however tho where this episodes animation does fall a little bit flat is in the backgrounds as the backgrounds in this episode do look a little flat and uninteresting now this is something that could be due to the fact that the whole show was animated in flash as it's not an issue that's exclusive to this episode but at the same time it is something that you notice quite alot in this episode as the episode does spend quite a lot of it's running time outdoors as none of the backgrounds in this episode have any depth to them and instead look like that they were painted on some cardboard but in saying that tho we do get some really nice looking shots in this episode as well just due to how good and how pretty that this episodes animation can be.

Twilight spends the whole episode trying to work out who to give the spare ticket to as she doesn't want to upset all of her friends. When all she had to do was give it it Applejack because all of her other friends wanted to go for selfish reasons where as Applejack wanted to to go for a selfless reason as she wanted to sell more apples there as that would help her family busisness and improve her families way of life and that's really it which is a really good reason to go to this ball where as all of the ponies had rather selfish reasons for going be it wanting to visit the garden or to impress some people all of which are things that could be considered selfish and heck even when the group realise that they've been forcing Twilight to stress out over this due to them not leaving her alone like she asked them to it's Applejack that's the first to apologize and lead the others into saying that they wont go to the ball anymore which again is an incredibly selfless thing to do but for whatever reason the episode does spend alot of time with Twilight trying to work out something that was already lied out in front of her to begin with which is something that's true to her character as one of the things that made her well her is the fact that she's always honest and so when show says that she wants to go to this ball to help to sell more apples you know that it's the truthful answer but given that the show was still trying to find itself at this point in time it is forgivable that they would have Twilight ignore all of this as technically Twilight doesn't know any of them all that well and so she would have no reason to trust Applejack on her word as for all she knows she could have been lieing to her in the first place.

However tho there is something else that could have ended the plot of this episode right at the start of the episode itself. With that being the fact that if Twilight had just asked for more tickets from Princess Celestia in the first place then she wouldn't have to chose which of her friends to take with her as they'd all get to go in the first place something which does end up happening when she writes to Princess Celestia saying that she won't go if all of her friends can't go which makes the whole episode feel pointless as she very easily could have written another letter at the start of the episode or even in the middle of the episode just explaining the situation and asking for more tickets in the first place while the show was still finding itself when this episode was being made this is something that really should have been fixed very early on in the development of the episode as it makes the entire episode come across as being rather quite pointless or if your not going to have Twilight write the letter asking for more tickets then have her suggest that they could do something that's equally as fun together as the show is meant to be all about friendship anyway this is something that would make alot of sense but for whatever reason the makers of this show chose not to do that and yet by not addressing this issue it does leave us with what could be seen as being a plot hole in the episode albeit not a very big one but it still could be one nonetheless with it seeming like the writers of this episode Amy Keating Rogers & Lauren Faust just didn't know what to do for this episode and so they just had the main character ignore the obvious way to fix it until the very end of the episode where they the have do the very thing that could have fixed the issue in the first place.

As much wrong as there is with the way that the show did this plot from a writing point of view it did get something right an it's the most simple thing it's the fact that they showed how all of her friends where doing ore harm then good to Twilight. As while yes they all just really wanted to know who got the extra ticket to this ball called The Grand Galloping Gala it's seeing how they all ultimately do more harm then good as they all try and upstage each other some in subtle ways and then in the case of Pinkie Pie throwing a Ponyville wide party when all Twilight wants to do is have some time to herself so that she can just think and get some lunch in her and that's it and yet because of each of them choose to put themselves first and not think of her and her wants and her needs then they do come of as looking like bad friends as no friend worth there salt would ever put pressure on someone to choose them for something especially if it meant not choosing quite literally any of the other friends as that's not only a bad thing to do regardless of your age but it's also something that does make you come off as looking like a selfish person so much so that Twilight would have been well within her right to say that she's not taking any of them and instead chose Spike as he was the only one that was helping her out just because it was the right thing to do and yet by showing all of the other ponies act in such way it does also make them feel more three dimensional as well as it shows to us the audience that these characters do have flaws and as we see in the episode are more then willing to grow and to learn from those flaws and become better people or in this case ponies because of it and while the episode does understandably wrap things up in a nice little bow at the end of the episode as this is still a kids show afterall it still would have been nice to show the characters that put all of this pressure on Twilight not get what they want as all that does is tell the kid audience that if you put pressure on people for selfish reasons then you still get what you want in the end.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets exactly. Which is pretty much the exact grand total running time for this show to have in the first place and to be fair to this episode this episode really does have the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but tho in saying that whilst the episode does use it's running time wisely in one respect it doesn't use it wisely in another as the episode does develop it's plot as well as it's ever going to given the fact that this is a kids show and those don't typically develop there plots that well let alone if it's plot from very early on in the shows run and so to expected this episodes plot to be that well developed would be asking a bit much from this show but what isn't asking much is for the episode to develop it's characters alot more then what it already is as this episode really doesn't develop it's characters all that well this si despite the fact that it does show all five of Twilights friends do have flaws that they over come in the episode however the episode really doesn't give us the audience a reason to want Twilight to pick them as outside of Applejack who is the only one that has a legitimately selfless reason for wanting to go to The Grand Galloping Gala in the first place none of the other characters are shown in a positive light prior to the episodes third act and therefor it does make it seem like that these characters are just selfish characters and while of course the previous episode would make it look like that there all good people this episode doesn't show any of that from the rest of the characters when they really should have done as then Twilight would have an actually understandable struggle when it comes to choosing which of her friends to take with her to The Grand Galloping Gala in the first place but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean 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 really good. With this episode having alot of painfully laugh out loud moments in it with this episode really being worth watching just for it's comedy alone as all of the episodes characters get alot of good jokes in it be it Applejack bringing Twilight a bunch of apple related foods just to try and soften her up or Rainbow Dash quite literally zipping a cloud shut there's plenty of good jokes in this episode however tho this episodes best joke is quite easily when Pinkie Pie throws Twilight up in the air several times and each time you just see Twilight is getting less and less amused by what's going on which is such a simply joke and yet it's one that does get a really big laugh in the episode just because of the fact that it does feel completely in character for both of those characters at that point in time as all Twilight wants to do is have some time to herself to think things through properly and all Pinkie wants to do is just be herself and that is a combination that does result in comic gold and while the running joke of Twilight just not being able to get some lunch while all her friends just bother her which is a cute little joke which is something that could also be said for alot of this episodes jokes as well as all of this episodes jokes are really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this is a solid episode but at the same time tho it's also a really bland and really generic episode of the show as well as it goes to all of the places that you think that it would go to and in the exact same way that you think it would do as well but in fairness tho this episode really does have some saving graces to it tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 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 pf the images that I personally used in this very review from the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
