6 Thoughts on the First Season of Lanterns (Review)
The first season of Lanterns has come and gone and it’s turning out to be pretty controversial online — at least in the circles I frequent. Lots of ‘Surf Dracula’ talk. People upset that there wasn’t more Green Lanterning. You know how the internet can be. Well I’m here to deliver my personal opinion and review on the first season of Lanterns!
TV Show Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
I liked it a lot! I will admit that my grade did go down a level from when I started writing this list until after watching the finale, but I’m not one of the people who hated the finale. I thought it was a solid ending to a solid show, which stuck to its intended tone and story all the way through. Surf Dracula? Maybe. Does that bother me? Not with Lanterns, not really. But I’ll get more into the nuance later. The important thing is, we have a Green Lantern TV show and there’s going to be more in the future!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts on the first season of Lanterns. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the entire season. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Rumors have been swirling for weeks now, and yesterday we got final confirmation that Kyle Chandler will play Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre will play John Stewart in the upcoming HBO show Lanterns. Solid casting!
I have very high hopes for this TV show. The Penguin has been awesome so far, largely because it’s a gritty crime drama that just happens to be about the Penguin. So I’m hoping we get a gritty cop drama that just happens to be about the Green Lantern Corps. Granted, it’ll hopefully be more colorful and cosmic than a gritty crime drama, but I have faith that they will make it work. And this is a good cast to make it happen!
And don’t forget Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner in the Superman movie!
We’ve got a good Corps on our hands. Here’s hoping we get even more characters, and even more of the rainbow corps!

Awesome Uncharted Fan Film with Nathan Fillion!
We live in a world where intrepid people in the world can just put together their own amazing fan film of any property they want. Remember that sweet Mortal Kombat movie from a few years ago? That led to a pretty awesome web series, and I think some solid career opportunities for the creator.
Well now director Allan Ungar brings us a fan film about the Uncharted video game series. And he’s got Nathan Fillion in the starring role of Nathan Drake!
Yep, that was pretty darn amazing. Well made, well acted, well written; I would love more of these. Heck, I’d be down for an entire movie like this. I’ve barely played the Uncharted series, but that was a darn good short film!

Celebrities I Can Actually Stand
Apparently the guy who voices Superman for all those WB animated cartoons and movies, Tim Daly, has some kind of web series with his son. And Nathan Fillion, the guy who voices Green Lantern, stopped by the other day to make one hilariously funny web-isode. I wish my life was about having this much fun. Watch and enjoy.
