Growing up in the U.S. in the 70s, I was a big fan of Battle of the Planets, the American version of the Japanese anime, Gatchaman. Grossly re-edited and re-voiced, I was aware that Battle of the Planets was much different from Gatchaman, but having never seen the original, I didn’t have anything to compare it to. Gatchaman is now available for […]

American Horror Story Coven Season 3 Episode 4 Fearful Pranks Ensue
I’ve covered a lot of what I want to say about this espiode below. But this show makes Knots Landing look like child play. The ending was perfect! A pack of zombies coming out to play! And they aren’t just any zombies; no, these are Delphine’s family members risen from the grave to eat some […]
American Horror Story Coven Season 3 Episode 3 Replacements
I do love this show and I always find things that interest me. This episode was a heavy Fiona episode focusing on how she got to be Supreme and the short time that she has back as Supreme. I don’t know where this will end as there a number of possibilities: Fiona winning it […]
