Nick Frost is Gonna Seek Some Truth
Nick Frost and Simon Pegg have a new, supernatural TV show coming to Amazon Prime at the end of October. It’s called Truth Seekers and it looks like it could be pretty cool.
I think Frost and Pegg wrote this series, or at least created it. But I also think, based on the trailer, that it’s only really going to feature Simon Pegg. This is definitely not a show starring the two of them as a team. All the marketing seems to think it’s a Pegg/Frost adventure…but you ain’t fooling me!
Still, looks good and I’m always up for good new shows. Truth Seekers comes to Amazon Prime on Oct. 30.

Our First Look at WandaVision is Perfectly Trippy
The pandemic really did a number on all those awesome Marvel TV shows we were expecting. Falcon and the Winter Soldier has been delayed until next year. But it seems we’ll still be getting WandaVision before the end of 2020. In fact, here’s the first full trailer for this trippy show!
Looks amazing! Weird, trippy and all manner of nutso, this trailer looks totally perfect for the show they’ve promised. I can’t wait!

Tatiana Maslany to Play She-Hulk!
Crazy big Marvel casting news arrived yesterday in that Tatiana Maslany will play Jennifer Walters and She-Hulk in the upcoming Disney+ show! That’s awesome! Everybody agreed that Maslany was great in Orphan Black, so I’m excited for her as She-Hulk!
The She-Hulk show is set to start filming early next year, so that’s cool. I’m confident they will go with a full CGI/mo-cap look for actual She-Hulk, just like with Professor Hulk in Endgame. These are TV shows gifted with MCU budget, so they’ll make it happen and they’ll make it look great! Disney has every reason in the world to go full speed ahead on making these Marvel shows a must-see for Disney+.
For example, here’s hoping we get that Mark Ruffalo/Hulk cameo! They’ve got to do it, right? There’s no way he skips out on making a quick appearance or two.
Now we go back to waiting patiently for them to cast Kamala Khan!

6 TV Show Finales That I Love, That Everybody Else Hates
TV is a fickle beast. Sometimes shows just can’t maintain the greatness we come to expect. Sometimes really good shows change writers or showrunners and the end just peters out. Sometimes the ending is so bad the show is forever tainted in the eyes of the world.
And sometimes when that happens, I go against the grain and end up loving the finale that everybody else hates! It has happened so often that I found six entries!
I like what I like, and sometimes I just don’t have a good explanation for why I like it. I am surprisingly easy to please in the middle of watching something. There are a lot of shows I hate, a lot of endings I loathe, but there have been a few times where I have either loved or have been perfectly happy with a show’s finale, only for the rest of the world and the internet to hate the ending with a fiery passion. I just don’t get it. And I doubt I can convince you to change your mind. It’s been years since watching some of these finales, and I honestly don’t remember as much as I would like. Don’t expect me to have big, amazing reasons for why I enjoyed all of the listed finales, I just liked them.
Join me after the jump to see just what kind of crap I actually enjoy. FULL SPOILERS for each of the shows mentioned.
Read the rest of this entryThe Mandalorian Season 2 is No Place for The Child
The Mandalorian TV show returns on Oct. 30! Mando and The Child are out in space, on a journey of discovery! There’s gonna be action! There’s gonna be shooting! There’s maybe gonna be a race of enemy sorcerers!
Looks great! It’s just a teaser trailer for now. No sign of Ahsoka Tano or Boba Fett, both of whom are rumored to appear. But I can be patient. I can wait a month and a half and enjoy the show like everybody else. In the meantime, I still need to build my Razor Crest LEGO set.
It’s good to be excited about Star Wars again.
