Succession and Class
I finally made time to watch Succession. The first season left me wondering what sort of fuss did the show made since I haven’t stumble on any review or analysis. Be that as it may, it feels good to step down from the online echo chambers once in a while. So I went through the search engines and, surprise me not, it was full of philosophical takes. Mostly from Antiquity to Early Modernity. Those informed essays made me think I was the crazy person on the bus. The most repeating claim was that Succession is so intriguing and beloved because it plays out with the Shakespearean grandeur of King Lear, Macbeth, and so forth.

House of Ninjas Review: Only for Fans of Action
Hey friends, remember watching Ninja Hattori as kids and doing the "ding ding ding" thing? Well, now there's a grown-up version on Netflix called House of Ninjas. Just kidding! There's no connection between Ninja Hattori and the House of Ninjas. They're totally different shows. I'm here to share my thoughts and give you a review of House of Ninjas.

Literally one of my favorite parts of Doctor Who is River Song. She is brilliant and amazing and one of my favorite tv characters of all time. She played really important roles in each of her doctors stories but there are definitely storylines and pairings that are better. So here we go with ranking all of the River Song episodes from less awesome to most awesome.

Gallifrey One
This weekend is Gallifrey One Los Angeles’ Doctor Who convention. This is my first time going and because of a work event I can only go for one day. So of course that one day is going to be packed. But I picked a good year to go because both Billie Piper and Alex Kingston are going to be there. So because you guys know I like sharing my convention schedule with you, here is my plan for the Saturday of the convention. Now I have kind of noticed that there are a lot of extras for this convention. More than normal there are extra things (beyond autographs and photos) that you can pay for. Now I am poor and I didn’t do any of that, but I will be pointing out some of the events that I wish I had the extra cash for as well.
