Thoughts on IDW Transformers: The Furman Era

The highs, the lows, Furman's legacy, and, yes... the disaster that is Spotlight: Arcee, and the fact that Furman kinda accidentally made all the Transformers gay.

Scattered thoughts from rewatching Twin Peaks

I rewatched one of my favorite shows of all time and wrote about whether or not I regret skipping half of season 2 on my first watch years ago, Anthony's theories as we were watching, Dougie Jones, and that unforgettable ending.

Reviewing and ranking every Star Trek movie

The TOS movies, the TNG movies, the "Kelvin Timeline" movies, and, yes, even the dreadful new Section 31. My ranking of that last one will shock you. (It won't.)

Thoughts on Sonic 3!

My full thoughts on Sonic 3, a fun popcorn flick with a lot of Sonic Adventure 2 fanservice that's also still very much The Third Paramount Sonic Movie, for good and for ill.

In defense of Deep Space Nine's first season

I've started watching DS9 for the first time, so let's talk about the underappreciated joys of early season weirdness. Don't listen to the people on Reddit, this season is good.

A decent sidescroller that drove me a little crazy and made me consider where the line between loving homage and shameless copy lies.
