Transformers Earthspark, A Brand New Era and Next Season News

Anyone enjoying Transformers Earthspark will be glad to hear more episodes are being made, and in the meantime, we offer a full series review now that the entire series is available on home video.

Spoiler Alert

Transformers Earthspark is like Rescue Bots at times, because of how everyone treats each other like a tight family. Just when I thought the home release might offer material to explain the similarity, this bare-bones release doesn’t delve into the development. I’m curious about why Quintus Prime finds it vital to seed other planets with Emberstone. This artifact can create new life, and while this Primus allowed this planet to run its natural course, why would this artfact remain? Since it was placed on a pedestal, there’s a lingering question of who worshipped it?

Maybe one day, I can meet the creators and ask about this new direction for the franchise. Aside from seeing Nicole Dubuc‘s name–who has helped produce the series for a long time–the others involved in the development are not as familiar. As long as she’s leading the charge, I’m okay with this update.

In the Indie film Ingress, Just What Emotional Journey Lays Ahead for Riley is a Roller Coaster Ride!

Ingress is a film set in the backdrop of the Pacific Northwest and while it’s more about the love that’s lost, it’s the sci-fi stuff that got me curious. Is Riley a mutant?

Please check www.EmergenceFilms.us/Ingress for screenings near you.

Riley (Rachel Noll James) has a gift, and it’s not the result of a mad science experiment. In Ingress, she can shift herself to other realities instead of making them like in Wandavision. The comparison is every evident when considering she’s looking for a reality where she can be happy. After losing her love of her life, she’s sad and wants to be in a place where all is well.

This actress not only wrote and directed this film, but also has something to say about how difficult it is to find love, experience life to its fullest, and achieve happiness. Although she has some control over when she slips into some other world where either her husband Toby (Johnny Ferro) is dead, doesn’t recognise her or simply aren’t married, trying to find that world where all is good is tough!

When Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season Two is on Steelbook to Watch At Home, It’s Time for an Analysis!

Although Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season Two ventures into familiar sci-fi trope territory, fans can get to learn in the featurettes why it must be so. Picard would be proud.

As with the previous series, I waited for the home video release of Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season Two to binge-watch all of last year’s broadcast all in one go. That review can be read here. The Steelbook Blu-ray or 4K (which comes with magnets) for this next release is worth getting, and to find it at a reasonable price really means hitting checking various online retail shops rather than visiting Amazon. The design of the packaging is beautiful, and I love the fact the colours are consistent with the first volume so that they can be displayed. The poster (available in both releases) is a nice touch, and I think I’ll invest into getting it block mounted to get rid of the fold lines.

Ultimately, I wanted to look at the behind the scenes before diving in. The best bonus features concern updating how “The Gorn,” looks like, and explaining why “Singing in Space” is important to further develop the characters that we love. The episode, “Subspace Rhapsody,” was not cringe worthy because the explanation that accompanied this happenstance is plausible. While it’s easy to give praise to an episode prior to its airing, is it worth rewatching? I would say this episode has its place in the world of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer inspired television musicals.

Dynamite Comics’ Lilo and Stitch Makes this Wonderful Sequel an Ohana Affair to Look Forward To!

Everything fans of Lilo and Stitch want to see as a continuation is well explored here, and it’s a logical sequel than having to catch ’em all over again.

Spoiler Alert

For those who don’t want to see Disney remake Lilo and Stitch into a live action film, thankfully, Dynamite Comics is doing what the studio should’ve considered–and that’s to continue the story! Here, after the spunky team has paid their due, what happens next is to just live the life they’re used to. But when most of the galaxy is aware of how useful this blue furry alien is for any plan of conquest, what the first issue offers is a taste of them dealing with life outside of Hawaii!

I believe it’s about time this universe is being made bigger. What’s presented before was mostly about what goes on in this island nation or sees Stitch meet other young girls to be best friends to, especially after Lilo has grown up. Both Stitch and Ai (review), along with the Japanese series Stitch! (review) doesn’t belong in the same continuity, but any fan can see what this series is mainly about.
