TV Trailer Thursday!
There hasn’t been much to post about this week. I live in the northeast, so I’m buried in several feet of snow that just isn’t going anywhere. Life is misery. But a pair of random trailers showed up yesterday for some streaming TV shows I’m looking forward to, so I thought I’d bundle them up and share!
First up is the third season of Reacher, the Amazon Prime show where Jack Reacher beats people up for the greater good. Nothing much to spoil in this trailer; it’s just Reacher in a bunch of new situations.
And I’ll probably definitely watch! Or at least I’ll put it on my to-watch list and hopefully get to it eventually. The first two seasons are solid. I’m honestly surprised we’re only up to season 3 with Reacher. Wild.
Anyway, Reacher returns to Prime in February.
Next up is the fourth season of Mythic Quest on AppleTV+! Some spoilers in this trailer, mostly maybe?
I took forever to get around to watching this show, because I never had a reason to get AppleTV. But I’m fully caught up at this point because this show is awesome, and AppleTV is awesome! So many great shows. I’m currently watching the second season of Shrinking and it’s just as good as the first so far. So hopefully the fourth season of Mythic Quest can live up to the other seasons!
Mythic Quest returns to Apple on Jan. 29!

My 6 Favorite Things of 2024
Welp, the world keeps spinning and we’ve reached the end of another year. It was a crap year full of mostly crap entertainment, and I’m coming up empty in terms of empathy and interest. Following the presidential election, I’m opting to be more cynical these days as a coping mechanism. This was also the year I took a back seat on posting all the time. This was a year.
In good news, I finally started my own original comic — Cover Bard — and am halfway done with the first issue. I need to make a big post about it. And the second volume of Gamer Girl & Vixen is complete and headed to the printers, to be distributed and available for sale early next year. So those were some good things that happened. We also had a ton of great TV shows, but not a lot of great movies or video games. It was a weird year.
But I like putting together a list like this, so join me after the jump for my favorite bits and pieces of pop culture from 2024! And feel free to share your own in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryToon Trailer Thursday!
Lots of trailers this week. I love a week that gives us a whole bunch of movie or TV or video game trailers, because I love watching and sharing trailers. Today we’ve got a pair of upcoming animated shows making their return!
First up is the second season of Castlevania: Nocturne, the sequel series to the truly excellent first Castlevania show on Netflix. I can safely say I don’t remember anything from the first season of Nocturne, which isn’t a good sign…
Looks like a fun, gory, action series to me! Which is exactly what the first show and the first season were all about. So yeah, I’ll definitely be tuning in to check out season 2…after finding a season 1 recap video on YouTube somewhere…
Castlevania: Nocturne returns to Netfix on Jan. 16.
Also returning next month is the fifth season of the Harley Quinn cartoon!
Count me among the fans who didn’t think season 4 was very good. This show was an insanely funny and crazy bit of television in the first two or three seasons, but then swiftly fell off…to the point that I haven’t even watched the spin-off Kite-Man series! But I’m not about to give up on Harley Quinn completely and I will be back for season 5!
Harley Quinn returns to Max…also on Jan. 16! Neat!

Don’t Watch This Severance Trailer!
Don’t watch this new trailer for the TV show Severance unless you’re caught up on season 1 and ready to watch the upcoming season 2. Don’t spoil anything for yourself about this show! And this trailer has a lot of SPOILERS! I don’t even know why I’m posting this trailer…unless it’s to share my love of this show and convince you to finally watch? Unless it’s for people like me who are all caught up and can’t wait for season 2?
This looks great! There are a ton of SPOILERS in this trailer, but since I’ve already seen season 1, they’re not spoiled for me. So be careful if you want to watch.
Don’t sleep on Severance. It’s as good as everybody says it is. Maybe you don’t have AppleTV+ and I can’t blame you for that. But there are plenty of shows on that network that are worth burning your free trial for. Do they still have free trials? Anyway, watch Severance, which returns for season 2 on Jan. 17.

Invincible Season 3 is Gonna Be Off the Chain!
Thankfully, we won’t have to wait too much longer to see more Invincible, because the next season is coming out in February! So it will have been about a year between seasons, or parts of seasons. Whatever. Who’s keeping track? Just know that we’ve got more show!
Invincible has been a real hoot and a half of a show and I very much look forward to more. I’ve read the comic so I know a lot of what to expect, but that hasn’t lessened the enjoyment of the TV show. It’s still a fun watch! It’s still off the chain! I think they’re doing a great job with the adaptation, and all plans seem to indicate they’re going to go all the way to the end. It will become a wildly different show in the future, but that can be super fun as well! Here’s hoping they can pull it all off.
Invincible returns to Amazon Prime on Feb. 6.
