Glad to Hear Preacher is Coming Back!
We are living in peak prestige TV. In fact, I’ve started hearing rumblings that networks are starting to pull such shows off the air, since there are so many. And I’m loving them all! Or at least, the ones I’m watching. I’m only human and there’s only so much time in the day.
Anyway, Preacher gets a second season!
I loved the first season and I’m very much looking forward to the next. Season 2 will launch on June 25!

Oh Hey, They’re Making More Game of Thrones!
Did you know they’re making more Game of Thrones episodes? That’s pretty neat! I appreciate them wanting to finish the story and let us know what season 7 is gonna be like.
The trailer looks spiffy as heck. I don’t think we got any solid story or plot elements, but still, lots of neato action. I kind of hoped they’d end with a tease of Jon Snow meeting the Mother of Dragons. Now that would have been a good hook!

We Can All Breathe a Sigh of Relief, Gizmoduck Will Indeed Be in the New Ducktales Cartoon
If you were anything like me, you were wondering if Gizmoduck would appear in the new Ducktales cartoon. Welp…he will! And he’ll be voiced by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Neat!
Gizmoduck was my favorite character in the original cartoon — because I, uh, like superheroes. So I had my hopes up for the reboot cartoon. This is just a fun bit of confirmation that somethings in this world are A-OK.
Now we just need Darkwing Duck…

I Will Probably Give Black Lightning a Try
I’m going to level with you henchies: I’ve stopped watching the DC superhero shows on The CW. Once upon a time, they were my favorite shows! Arrow was great! But I’ve stopped watching all of them, even The Flash. Especially The Flash. Ugh. I just can’t stand the lunacy anymore.
But hey, maybe I’ll give Black Lightning a try when it comes out.
I’ve got no particular interest in Black Lightning as a character. And I’ve got no reason to believe this show will be any different from the crap shows the others have become. But I’m an open-minded fella.

I Will Probably Give Star Trek: Discovery a Try
I am not a Trekkie. Never have been. There’s nothing wrong with Trekkies, it just wasn’t the geeky fandom I embraced growing up. I’ve never seen the original TV series, though I have marathoned through the various movies — and I’m a big fan of the modern reboot movies.
But I’ll probably give the new TV show Star Trek: Discovery a try, because I’m a big fan of the current crop of prestige TV.
Though I’m a little disappointed that this series will be set before the original. Isn’t that exactly what they did with Enterprise, the last new Star Trek TV show? And didn’t that show flop? What’s the fascination with prequel shows? Why not boldly go into the future?
Also, is this new show set in the continuity of the modern reboot movies? Because that would be neat.
And if Star Trek isn’t your thing, Seth MacFarlane is making a parody show called The Orville. Now this show looks neat.
Maybe I’ll watch them both!
