A Series of Unfortunate Events: Season 2 Review
A Series of Unfortunate Events Season 2 starts out on the wrong foot. Even though Season 1 mixed melancholic monologues, heartwarming caretakers who met ill fates, and ridiculous yet delightful Neil Patrick Harris performances to great effect, its rinse-and-repeat formula of the Baudelaire orphans outrunning Count Olaf began to feel a little overdone by the season’s end.
Season 2’s first two episodes, based on the fifth ASOUE book, The Austere Academy, fit too much into this mold. While it’s been more than a year since I watched the first batch of episodes, a sense of familiarity immediately overcame me as the Baudelaires’ time at Prufrock Prepatory school carried on. But as the season progresses, thanks to the introduction of a few key characters and episodes that deepen the lore of the Baudelaires’ lives, overall Season 2 ends up capturing the magic of Season 1 while transforming the shape and flow of the show.
Dark Nights: Metal’s 6 Biggest WTF Questions
DC just wrapped up the massive crossover that is Dark Nights: Metal, and while there was plenty to like about this epic storyline, there were also a few head-scratching moments over the course of the series. From Batman’s bad behavior to a questionable Sandman cameo, these are the biggest questions we have in the aftermath of Metal.
The first issue of Metal turned a lot of heads thanks to its cliffhanger, which saw Batman turning to none other than Dream of the Endless for help in his quest. Considering how rarely characters from the Sandman franchise interact with the lowly heroes of the DCU, that was a pretty big deal.
And then… nothing. We barely caught a glimpse of Dream for the rest of the series. The end result of this latest DC/Sandman crossover is that a single book went missing in Dream’s library. No doubt that loose end will pay off when DC launches the Neil Gaiman-curated Sandman imprint later this year. But in the context of Metal itself, that much ballyhooed Sandman crossover seems to have been much ado about nothing.
Explosive Fbook memo defended company’s strategy, even if it got people killed.

The C64 Mini Review
While not having had nearly the same kind of impact on the ‘80s as the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Commodore 64 was nonetheless the 8-bit entry point to gaming for millions of players, myself included. My earliest gaming memories are of winding through demo cassettes that came Scotch-taped to the covers of British gaming magazines with names like Zzap, Crash, and various other mastheads seemingly inspired by a fight scene from Adam West’s Batman. Or using a tiny jeweller’s screwdriver to fiddle with the tape drive heads only for a game to load for five agonising minutes and then fail, forcing me to rewind, adjust the heads a half turn to the left and try again. Or typing lines of POKEs at the command prompt in order to cheat my way to infinite lives, and giggling at the word ‘POKE’ because I wasn’t yet in high school and anything vaguely sexual was hilarious.
Taylor Swift Episode Reportedly ‘Last Straw’ for Canceled Deadpool Series
According to Stephen Glover, an episode focused on Taylor Swift was the “last straw” that led to the departure of him and his brother, Donald Glover, from the Deadpool animated TV series.
“There really was a Taylor Swift episode,” Glover wrote in a tweet, which has since been deleted, according to TheWrap. “It was HILARIOUS. And it definitely was the last straw lol.” Glover went on to say, “We definitely wanted to give Rick and Morty a run for their money and I think we would have. Proud of the gang.”
Citing creative differences, the Glover brothers, FX, and Marvel TV recently parted ways on the project.
