I Can’t Wait ‘Til the Future Gets Here

Posted on December 1, 2025 by Nathan

While the previous Hulu seasons were released one week at a time, this one was dropped all at once. It was also around when there was a push for people to cancel Hulu because of Disney caving to Trump in … Continue reading →

Dark Dreams

Posted on March 13, 2025 by Nathan

When writing about portals between worlds, I thought about the Dark World from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, but that’s kind of a different subject, albeit a related one. And the alternate world with similar geography … Continue reading →

Focused on the Future

Posted on October 5, 2024 by Nathan

We’ve now seen all of Season Twelve of Futurama, which I think is part of the ninth production season because of all the weirdness with how the show was originally aired. I noticed that, while there were still some commentaries … Continue reading →

The Future’s Got It Covered

Posted on September 27, 2023 by Nathan

I’m not entirely sure how many new Futurama episodes Hulu ordered, but I do know that they’re going to wait before airing the next batch. So here are my thoughts on the ten episodes we’ve had so far. The Impossible … Continue reading →

The Lion Shall Lay Down with the Lamassu

Posted on September 24, 2023 by Nathan

With the appearance of Lamassu on the latest Futurama episode (although I haven’t been able to find a picture of them online as of yet), I thought they might be an interesting concept to look into, although I’m not really sure there’s … Continue reading →

Not Pumpkin Pie!

Posted on August 3, 2023 by Nathan

Beth and I are back from California for the second time in a month, and from this year’s OzCon International, the first full one since 2019. I think the Friday programming might have been shorter than in previous years, but … Continue reading →

Hi, I’m Elfo!

Posted on May 22, 2022 by Nathan

I watched the first season of Disenchantment when it was still pretty new, then didn’t get around to watching any more until the fourth was about to come out. And we don’t yet know whether there’s going to be a … Continue reading →

Foes and More

Posted on March 19, 2022 by Nathan

It’s weird how the Irish religious festival of St. Patrick’s Day became mostly a day for drinking a lot here in the States, but that’s how these things often work. I don’t drink that much, but I did wear green, … Continue reading →

Winners and Choosers

Posted on January 28, 2022 by Nathan

After looking at the notion of people chosen by the gods, I became curious as to how the concept of a specific person being the Chosen One originated. It’s a pretty common trope in fantasy, someone being prophesied to save the world … Continue reading →

Mega Mega, Right Back, Messages!

Posted on September 9, 2020 by Nathan

In my ongoing quest to watch old video game cartoons, I found the entire series of the Ruby-Spears Mega Man show. This ran from 1994 through 1996, when I was in high school, and I remember watching it with my … Continue reading →
