This was quite possibly my all time favorite from Game of Thrones, all 7 seasons.
The Tick
I was under the impression that this was going to be a 10 episode series, so when I saw that 6 episodes were available on Thursday night, I decided to watch them all. I figured that the remaining episodes would be added on Friday.
So imagine my surprise when I found out that it was only a 6-episode series.
Anyways, I thought it was great. Very true to the animated series and the live action series. I was laughing a lot, from the dialogue. Pitch perfect from the earlier material.
And I’m still kicking myself for not recognizing the actor who played Denarian Saal in Guardians of the Galaxy, Peter Serafinowicz, as the Tick himself.
Recommended! Two thumbs up! Go watch it now!
OMAC
I’ve been on a Jack Kirby kick for the past year or so, slowly reading the collected Machine Man series, and recently getting into OMAC.
I remember seeing this particular comic when it first came out, on a rack in a grocery store, but didn’t bother asking Mom and Dad if I could get it. I probably ended up with an issue of Action Comics or Superman.
Anyways, the original series ran for only 8 issues, and as I always do, I browsed the web to see if an OMAC figure was still available.
It is, and for less than $8 shipped, on Amazon.
By the way, this Monday is Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday.
Dammit, LootCrate…
The Defenders
Huh
So according to Memory Beta, Benjamin Sisko commands a Galaxy-Class starship, the USS Robinson NCC-71842.
Per the background information on that page, the ship may have been named after Jackie Robinson, as 718 is the area code for Brooklyn (home of the Dodgers when Robinson played) and 42 was his jersey number.
Cool.
