Doctor Who: Boom Town Is Underrated, I Swear To God
On my rewatch of underrated Nine episodes and I don't understand why people don't like Boom Town. Yes, it's between two of the best two-parters of the RTD era, but it's such a good, solid piece of quiet contemplation, this amazing mix of comedy and drama, this amazing piece of comedy/joy/shenanigans in the front half balanced out with some of the best acting in the entirety of Doctor Who in the back half. Now that I'm writing, I kind of understand why some people aren't here for the more quiet vibe of the dual-date section of the episode, but the concept hits and hits so hard and is so integral to Nine's character development/the Bad Wolf arc and Blon is a fascinating villain and it shows off the dynamic of Rose, the Doctor, and Jack so well (as well as providing some decent Mickey moments, some of the best he gets until the Cyberman arc). Like, it's such a solid piece of television and shows off every character so well AND sets up the power of the heart of the TARDIS and yes, the ending is cheesy, but I don't know why it's so low down on so many people's lists of best episodes of the show.
(Also, Christopher Eccleston does not have a single bad moment of acting as the Doctor and I am constantly in awe of how he's firing on all cylinders in every single moment.)

Ranking all sonic boom redesigns, worst to best
#5, knuckles
What good is there to say about him? He’s disproportionate looking, his shoes look weird, he has that improperly applied sports tape, his silhouette is horrible. I hate him.
#4, sonic
Key problem: brown. Brown literally muddies Sonic’s color scheme. That sleek RGB color scheme sonic usually has is so charming and characteristic and simple and beautiful, and it works well with neutrals that aren’t brown, but that stupid bandana right front and center ruins everything.
#3, Amy
I think she’s actually pretty solid! The dress looks pretty nice and like something she’d wear, I think making the pico pico hammer pink worked nice with it, the purple accents are cute, I like her shoes, she’s really good!
#2, Shadow
Yes, shadow was in boom. Specifically only the show I’m pretty sure. And he’s like the same other than his gloves and shoes, but they look kinda weird and a bit awkward to me so I’m putting him at 2.
#1, tails
All they did was give him goggles, different gloves that look like they’re protective rubber gloves which makes sense for him, and a tool belt. Well yeah he’s got that sports tape but I can live with it here. Really the only big changes were the goggles, gloves, and tool belt. And well.. he’s an inventor and he flies a plane. It’s pretty obvious and convenient accessories for him.

OMG I did not see that ending coming but I LOVED it!!!! 😍😍😍😍 amazing chapter as always! This story has me in a chokehold
Osiyo, Nonnie,
It is not the story that has you in a chokehold. That would be Zoro. With his big beefy delicious sword-fighting arms.
Like, yes the biceps are big and juicy but let us not forget the deliciousness that is those unnecessary forearm muscles and veins that are a menace to my very existence.
Zoro's arms are my villain origin story.

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS / TMNT II #1-5
December 2022 - May 2023
By Ryan Parrott , Dan Mora, Raúl Angulo, and Ed Dukeshire.
It's the sequel for the miniseries that was successful enough to have action figures!
The Turtles and the MMPR band together to stop Krang and Rita Repulsa, but a betrayal by their human ally leaves them without powers. And then things get creative...
SCORE: 8
I just want to put in writing that true leaders admit when they are wrong, so the dialogue above is not worthy of Leo.
Alright, let's move on to the actual story...
I was running against two challenges while reading this story.
I am pretty ignorant about Power Ranger lore. I have watched some episodes, a movie and the horrible reunion special, but other than that, I may miss some references.
It has been a long time since I read part one, so apart from certain elements of that story that I remembered, I was kind of constantly catching up.
And you really need to have part one fresh in your mind to read this one... they are basically the same story.
A thought occurred to me while reading this... what is going on with Casey Jones?
He used to be the not-very-bright American hero (think of Jack Burton from "Big Trouble in Little China." And that kind of adaptation used to be the case. But lately, Casey has been a little less temperamental, and sometimes smart enough to avoid getting into conflicts (think of the Rise movie, the IDW version and its spin-offs, like this one).
Classic Casey wouldn't have gotten himself in this situation. But given how much this universe borrows from the IDW continuity, I guess that Casey would behave like this.
Isn't it great when you find four morphin' devices that match the colors of the turtles?
The Turtles and the Power Rangers being able to morph all at the same time was already great, but the book manages to surprise with yet another creative twist... that I'll explore after the break...
Although, if you have already seen the covers, then you know what's coming...
I think the book really came together at this point. With (a very 2012 inspired) Splinter coming in to teach the new mutants how to fight with their new bodies.
And then this happened... man, those toys will sell themselves.
In general, the art in this book is stunning. It may not be high art, but it does what it needs to do, beyond expectations.
Shredder also gets a chance to morph again (it would be a crime if he didn't).
The zords in general look amazing. I guess if you are a MMPR artist, you really need to know how to draw robots... and humans.
So yeah, it seems like part 3 is to be expected... and I am okay with that.
The only thing that felt weird to me, is how the Turtles and the Power Rangers seemed to hang together all the time, despite this story taking place weeks after the first one. But given that this is a different universe, I guess anything is possible?
Reading this story made me think hard on why I decided not to buy the crossover figures... maybe if there is a wave for this sequel, I may consider getting some dimension X power rangers... we'll see...

Finally got to watch Mutant Mayhem Tmnt and it's definitely one of my top favorite animated movies.
It took me a lot longer to finish it cause I was looking at all the details and laughing at a lot of the jokes.
Final Thoughts: Baby Donnie is my one Braincell, I related to Mikey way too much, Leo is still a dork. And finally. RAPH.
That kid was whole fucking menace I stg. Response to any fight is go down guns blazing.
Which is why he's my favorite.
Edit: AYO THAT ENDING-
WAT
