Does 'House of the Dragon' Have a Pacing Issue?
In 2022, when the first season of House of the Dragon was premiering, a recurrent point of contention among fans was that the show was moving too fast. With multiple time jumps and recasts, season 1 hit the ground running, covering a lot of ground in the 10-episode span.

House of the Dragon Series Review (Season 2)
Spinning off from its wildly popular predecessor, House of the Dragon marked a return to medieval politics in 2022. It was successful in revitalising George R.R. Martin’s fiction on the small screen. Two years later and the highly anticipated second chapter has arrived. It’s generally well made, but falls short of the stellar debut.

Fire and Blood
Okay now that we are done with season 2 of House of the Dragon we can discuss all of the fun and unnecessary deviations from Fire and Blood and why they were good or bad decisions. Season one ends with the death of the sweet baby boy, Lucerys. The greens have usurped the throne and war is brewing. At the end of the first season it was anticipated that season 2 would open with a son for a son. The internet was right…kind of. I think the general consensus was that it was a little underwhelming but let’s talk about the book events that were kept, and the ones that were changed in House of the Dragon season 2.

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.

The Legend of Lucille Ball
Lucy Ricardo: [Lucy gets caught spying on the neighbors] I was, uh... bird-watching! Ricky Ricardo: Bird-watching? Lucy Ricardo: Uh, yeah! Do you know that there's a yellow-bellied woodpecker on our lawn? Ricky Ricardo: No, but I know that there's a red-headed cuckoo in the living room.

Batman: Caped Crusader – More Batman: The Animated Series than Batman: The Animated Series?
Debuting mere weeks after Batman Returns was released in 1992, Batman: The Animated Series (Or BTAS for short) has become one of the most acclaimed takes on the Dark Knight. There have been several other animated series, including the sequel series The New Batman Adventures (same creative team, different visual style), the hit-and-miss mid-2000s series The Batman, the silver age throwback Batman: The Brave and the Bold and the grittier, CGI animated Beware the Batman. There is now a new addition to this lineup - Batman: Caped Crusader, created and executive produced by Bruce Timm, one of the lead members of the BTAS creative team. Bruce Timm has boasted that this series is “More Batman: The Animated Series than Batman: The Animated Series” and a more complete example of his vision for Batman – As Batman: Caped Crusader is aimed at older audiences, it will not have to deal with the constraints of censorship and studio interference caused by the need to please younger children or overly cautious parents.

'House of the Dragon': Who Is Hugh Hammer's Mother?
WARNING! SPOILERS for House of the Dragon 1x06, 'The Red Sowing'. 'The Red Sowing', the penultimate episode of House of the Dragon season two, marks a critical turning point for the series, as Queen Rhaenyra enacts a bold plan to invite Targaryen Bastards to claim Dragonstone's remaining riderless dragons and finally gain an advantage over Team Green's Aemond and Vhagar. The plan worked, with Ulf White claiming Silverwing, and Blacksmith Hugh Hammer laying claim to Vermithor, the Bronze Fury, a dragon second in size only to Vhagar.

A Look Back at "Garfield and Friends"
This is a bit emotional for me. One of my earliest memories of watching anything animated was tuning in to Garfield and Friends every Saturday morning. I was only five years old when I first learned about Garfield. Even now, 34 years later, I have such fond memories of enjoying that show for the entire hour it was on. Here's how this phenomenon began.

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).
