Firefly Still Stings
I still love the show Firefly. I haven’t watched it in a while, so maybe it really shows it’s age, but it was a great show and it’s early cancellation still stings. It also hearts when Honest Trailers mocks the show!
Oh, my beloved Firefly…you don’t deserve any of that. But I can’t say that Honest Trailers wasn’t honest. Life is harsh.
Meanwhile, in case you’re looking for new YouTube to blindly watch, I stumbled upon one of those “reaction” YouTubers a couple weeks ago. There’s a million of them, but I like the charm of this Natalie Gold person I found. And she recently started a “First Time Watching” marathon of Firefly episodes.
She’s got a bunch of other videos, watching movies and shows for the first time. She’s only a couple months into her new career as a YouTube reactor. So again, if you’re looking for something new to watch on YouTube, Natalie Gold is mildly recommended.

We Have a Kamala Khan!
At long last, it has been revealed that newcomer Iman Vellani has been cast as Kamala Khan for the Ms. Marvel TV show! She’s so new that this is her first acting role!
According to Deadline, Vellani’s only real credit in the world is being on a diversity committee at the 2019 Toronto Film Festival…so that’s something! And it obviously means none of us are going to be familiar with her acting work. But if Marvel Studios is cool with their choice, I definitely support their decision. They are casting wizards!
Marvel Studios hasn’t said anything yet, but they never do. Good for Miss Vellani!

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is Coming to An End!
The final season of Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is coming to Netflix in two weeks! This is a wonderful little show and I’m excited to get a fitting conclusion.
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is only three seasons long and it’s all wonderful. Highly recommended. It does go in some weird directions here and there, but it’s overall a really nice adventure.
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts season 3 arrives on Oct. 12!

Honest Trailers Goes Buck Wild
Let’s just make fun of everybody! Honest Trailers takes a shot at all of the streaming services! Take those weirdos down a peg.
I’m a big fan of the streaming service utopia we live in these days. Instead of paying for cable, I can pick and choose which shows I specifically want to see and just go straight to watching them. And I feel like Netflix and the like are more open to trying out wilder and weirder shows than network or cable TV.
Vive le streaming services!

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.
