House of the Dragon
Episode 7 of House of the Dragon was great and got fans excited for what the finale had in store for us, then we actually saw the finale. Underwhelming and disappointing is quite an understatement and I am not sure that I can contain my disdain to this article but I will try. I also went live with one of my favorite TikTokers during the episode and after so that we could commiserate. Welp…here we go with the finale of House of the Dragon.

Caped Crusader
Okay…so again, as someone who has absolutely no interest in Batman but very much interest in everyone else in Gotham City we are binging our way through Caped Crusader, Prime Video’s newest animated series. So far we have been introduced to many of the major players in Gotham City including; Montoya, The Penguin, and Barbara Gordon. I am hoping that we are going to get some more of the Batfamily as this series goes on. This will be going over episodes 3 and 4. There will be 10 episodes in this first season and I really kind of already want another season.

Caped Crusader
Yet another Batman cartoon has been released. Prime Video dropped Caped Crusader on August 1st. This first season is 10 episodes long and they dropped the entire season at once. Produced by Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, Daniel Pipskim and Ed Brubaker. Caped Crusader’s animation is very similar to the Animated Series style of animation, and the show starts us right in the middle of the action. We also seem to be getting a Batman costume more reminiscent of Detective Comics Batman and I love that. It’s like the only thing that hasn’t been done in Batman animation, ya know since he has 1000 animated series and Wonder Woman doesn’t have any…but I digress. So as someone who has absolutely no interest in Batman let’s watch the newest animated series.

House of the Dragon
We are now entering the end of Season 2 of House of the Dragon. Tonight's episode is the penultimate episode of the season and though we know that we are getting seasons 3 and 4 I am relatively concerned how long we are going to drag out this war for. Now at the end of our last episode Seasmoke claimed Adam. Aemond dismissed his mother from the council (lol) and Aegon is awake but now terrified of his brother. Corlys is now serving as Rhaenyra’s hand. Oh and they gave Daemon’s affair with Myseria to Rhaenyra for some reason. They are really determined to ruin my girl's character (not cause she’s gay by the way, I will get into it later).

Desperate Housewives
We are entering the third season of Desperate Housewives. The new mystery seems to be surrounding Orson (a super creepy name by the way). Mike is in a coma, and poor Lanette is dealing with this horrible extra family situation and I am still hoping for a divorce. Lanette is a saint and she deserves so much better. Edie is still being Edie, she is selling the Young’s house. And Gabby is stuck dealing with this whore of a maid.

They Boys
The Boys just wrapped up its 4th season, we know that there will only be one season left. But as of now there has been a lot of character development from just about everyone. That said some of the arcs are more carefully crafted than others. Some heroes we only saw on screen for a single season, and some weren’t in this last season. Well we are going to talk about the best character arcs of The Boys and where they might go in season 5.

House of the Dragon
We ended the last episode with Jace and Rhaenyra planning to get unclaimed dragons riders to turn this war in her favor. Alicent finally realized that she’s a dumb cunt who picked the wrong side. And Aemond is ruling in his brother's sted. We are almost all the way through this second season, there being only 8 episodes this season and they are really dragging this out as long as humanly possible. So let’s get into it.

The Boys
A lot has happened this season on The Boys, and there are a lot of loose ends to tie up. Homelander and Neumann are planning on killing the president, Sage is out on her own, Annie has been captured, and Butcher is basically dead. There is one season left and this finale episode not only needs to tie up all of those loose ends, but they also need set up the final season (and I would really appreciate it if they would give us something for Gen V season 2).

SDCC Schedule
San Diego Comic Con is going to be a very packed weekend, with peak days being on Friday and Saturday. I have desperately tried not to overbook myself but there is just so much that I would like to do. Sunday is the day that things start winding down. All of the major announcements have already been made, the big names are going home and the crowd starts to thin out a little bit. This makes the convention a little bit more networking and comic centric. So there is still plenty that I want to do on Sunday, even with fewer options. SDCC always ends with a sing along of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Once More With Feeling. My dad and I went last year but honestly I am probably going to skip it and just come home to my husband. The sing along is fun but it won’t be as fun without my dad and quite frankly the weekend is going to be really long without my Patrick.

Proud Pada
I have just finished the third installment of the Last Lumenian series. The Proud Pada is such an amazing continuation of this series. We spend most of our story on yet another planet and that forces our cast of characters to develop even further. I love this story because we go back to a more politically driven story and it is perfectly balanced with magic and fantasy. Something that S.G. manages to do really well is make each story stand alone. Now obviously these books are meant to be read in order, in the series. But her ability to weave recaps into her narrative makes it easy to pick up the series at any point. As always we will be doing this with and without spoilers.

House of the Dragon
Last week's episode of House of the Dragon was the best episode of the series so far. Rook’s Rest was emotional, action packed and entertaining. But there is still a lot of music left to this dance and I am now hopeful that the show will not retreat into unnecessary and unimpactful events. There will obviously be some fallout from what happened in the last episode, let’s see if the writers have finally found their footing.

SDCC Schedule
Saturday is probably going to be the biggest and busiest day of San Diego Comic Con. Most people that bought single day passes bought them for Saturday and it is routinely the first day that sells out. I am personally not setting foot in any of the bigger halls on Saturday so I am hoping that everything that I want to hit will be easier to get into. That said I am also hoping that I left myself enough time to get in line for the things that I think are important. I think I have figured out a strategy for these bigger conventions so let’s get to my Saturday schedule for SDCC.
