We’re Getting More Runaways!
I enjoyed the first season of TV’s Runaways, so the second season should be just as good! We hope!
If it’s even a fraction as good as the current Runaways comic, it’ll be a blast!
Meanwhile, did you hear they cancelled the Daredevil TV show? After Luke Cage and Iron Fist, I really think this is a concentrated move between Netflix and Disney regarding the upcoming Disney+ streaming service. How could it not be? Hopefully we’ll see the Daredevil TV show resurrected…or maybe this frees Charlie Cox up to appear in MCU movies.

My 6 Favorite “Sixth” Members
The Green Ranger is the best Power Ranger. It’s indisputable. He was the coolest, had the best costume and was just plain awesome. And ever since I saw him karate kick his way onto my weekday afternoon television screen, I have loved the “Sixth” Member of teams. On TV Tropes, this trope is actually called the “Sixth Ranger” specifically because of the Green Ranger, but I didn’t want anybody to think this was a list only about sixth Power Rangers.
I know this is the Gold Ranger, but he’s a strong runner-up
The trope is that you take an established group or team of characters, and then some time later, you add an extra member to the roster. Sometimes it’s a bad guy turned good. Sometimes it’s a new member. Sometimes it’s just a hanger-on. But whatever the case, this is one of my favorite character tropes and I wanted to share!
So join me after the jump for some of my favorite fictional characters, almost entirely because they’re the “Sixth” member of an established group. It’s a pretty reliable thing for me.
My 6 Favorite Episodes of Batman: The Animated Series
Batman: The Animated Series has been getting a lot of attention recently because a big full-series DVD collection came out. Like most comic book geeks, I was a huge fan of the cartoon when it came out in the 1990s, a staple of my after school entertainment. So how about a trip down memory lane for my favorite episodes?
He is the night
This isn’t a list of the best episodes of the series. And i’m going to try to base this list less on hindsight and more on my own memories from when I was a kid glued to the TV screen. There are three important facts that one needs to know before checking out my list of favorite B:TAS episodes: 1.) I don’t care about the Joker, so his episodes meant little to me; 2.) I was an idiot as a kid, and didn’t fully appreciate gems like Heart of Ice; and 3.) I loved anything with Robin in it.
With those factoids out of the way, let’s dive into my favorite episodes from when I was a kid! And feel free to share your own favorite episodes in the comments!
I Should Rewatch Batman: The Animated Series
I’m old enough to have watched Batman: The Animated Series when it was on TV after school. I still remember watching the rare prime time special episode. It was a great show, and a complete collection came out on DVD recently.
So how about an Honest Trailer?
Now that’s a fun takedown of a beloved show! I should do a list of my favorite episodes, though they’ll probably all be Robin-related.

Honestly, the New Doctor Who is Still Great!
I’m definitely enjoying Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor. She’s fun, and her episodes have been pretty cool so far. And to celebrate — and partially because I’ve been pretty busy this week, and haven’t found any other neat videos to share — let’s enjoy these big Honest Trailers recaps of both eras of Doctor Who.
Keep watching! Keep enjoying! And hopefully my vacation will start soon enough!
