Well… that got your attention, didn’t it?
Contrary to the title above, this post has nothing to do with Joe Hendry… although I heard that he beat Miz at a house show some time ago. No doubt, we’re waiting for the right opportunity to give Miz his win back on Netflix, but enough about that. Let’s get to some other quick bits.
Although if you want me to mention some other piece of Joe Hendry-related info… I’m not so sure that he’s getting that John Cena match… unless TNA somehow forks over the brinks truck to convince John to make a stop at Bound For Glory or something… but then that will overshadow… anything in that fucking company… like NXT superstar Trick Williams being your TNA World Champion for… some reason. Because WWE, there we go. I’m done with the rasslin’ bits. Let’s move on.
So we’ve just concluded the third season of Strange New World this past week… an interesting piece of business if there ever was one. I’ll hold off my thoughts on the season for a later time and instead look forward to the next television offering coming up in the form of Starfleet Academy… something I wish was just compilations of some kid’s let’s play of the old PC game redone with proper acting bits, but alas, it’s a continuation of 32nd century Star Trek. I’m sure some folks have a problem with this. My only concern is whether the show is any good. If it is, I keep watching. If it sucks, I’ll move on to something else.
I will say that the recently announced Voyager game intrigues me somewhat. I’ve never been that big into strategy games – I’ve played a few, but that’s about the extent of it – however, the ability to dictate the actions and journey of Voyager and possibly going against the grain of how the series progress is fascinating (no pun intended) and giving players the choice of whether Tuvix lives or dies is a tempting selling point if nothing else. More of this stuff and less mobile garbage, please. Thanks.
In case you missed it, Hasbro is putting out a “new” version of Mighty Morphin dubbed Re-Ignition, which is just the old MMPR show with a slightly new title card and new Mighty Morphin minutes that the Power Rangers Youtube channel also upload as shorts if that’s all you want to watch. My guess is that somebody visited the Kitchen Nightmares Youtube channel, saw that they were able to repackage the same episode ten times over without diminishing returns, and figured that they could do the same with MMPR.
For curious parties, you can still watch the original uploads of MMPR that were put up years ago and the quality isn’t all that different from whatever they’re putting up now. Supposedly, it’s been upscaled to a higher resolution, but it doesn’t look any better than before. It’s just a lazy re-up. As much as people hate the reversioned MMPR from 2010, at least they TRIED to freshen up the product so that it didn’t come across as a glorified rehash of vintage material. You can’t even say that much with THIS latest rehash.
That’s all I’ve got… later.
