How About Another Look at Star Wars: Skeleton Crew?
What a couple of weeks. Election anxiety and life anxiety are eating me alive, or at least they’re eating at the parts of me that can focus on blogging. So I haven’t posted much. But it’s Monday, I’ve got to get to work, I’m cold, and I’m finally posting this Star Wars: Skeleton Crew trailer from late last week. This show definitely looks fun, as far as I’m concerned.
This looks fun. A 1980’s style kids adventure flick set in the Star Wars universe? That sounds neat! Star Wars is definitely transitioning into something similar to the superhero genre, where they explore other genres within the existing framework. Sounds fine to me! We’re always going to get new Star Wars stuff, so they might as well be experimental and interesting, and, of course, good.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is coming to Disney+ starting on Dec. 3.

Agatha All Along is Actually Happening
Once upon a time, Marvel Studios felt unbeatable, and they greenlit a Wandavision spin-off about Agatha Harkness. Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza are amazing, but can they make a good show out of this character? The first trailer sure looks witchy and spooky enough.
I think it looks alright. And I’ll definitely be watching. I still have all sorts of faith in Marvel and will gladly watch what they put out. So bring on Agatha Harkness! Give her all sorts of spooky fun adventures. Make it a good show! We’ll find out later this year.
Agatha All Along comes to Disney+ on Sept. 18.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of X-Men ’97
I mean, jeez louis, people. What an intense and amazing two months this has been. My expectations were very tempered when this show was first announced, and then we go those first few trailers. But from episode one, I have been hooked and completely on board with this insane idea that worked far, far better than it had any right to work.
TV Show Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic
I was a huge fan of the original X-Men Animated Series when it came out in the 1990s. I was the perfect age for it and was already solidly versed with the comics — though not the comics that were current at the time. The show introduced me to characters like Gambit, Rogue and Jubilee, and then so much more beyond them. The original show was everything. And now this new continuation is everything again. It’s so damn good. They did everything right and then some. X-Men ’97 is so good, I wonder if it will affect the MCU plans for the X-Men going forward…
Anyway, the finale aired yesterday and I’m ready to talk about the show! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole show. Seriously! DO NOT READ THIS LIST if you haven’t watched X-Men ’97! But if you have, join me after the jump for my thoughts! And please feel free to share your thoughts and review in the comments below!

The next season of Doctor Who is promising to be a wild one. New Doctor! Returning showrunner! Something of a fresh start, now on Disney+, with Disney money backing all of the special effects! It’s gonna be so much fun, so let’s look at another trailer they released over the weekend.
This all looks good to me. There’s so much going on in this trailer, so much zaniness, and I think that’s for the best. This is gonna be a season of fun and adventure, which we all love! There are some dramatic bits too, and we’ll see how new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa handles the dramatic stuff.
Anyway, it looks like fun! The new season kicks off on May 10.
