I ramble about things.

Our Lady…

So I just heard the news as soon as I got back late last night.

For those who haven’t heard, a fire broke out at the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. The fire had been contained, but not before causing considerable damage that resulted in the spire and roof collapsing in on itself. At the moment, there have been no fatalities; although one fire fighter was injured in the fire control.

It’s difficult to put into words what one feels when they hear something like this happen. It’s not just a fire taking out a building, but something that has existed for hundreds of years. It’s not an iconic structure, but a piece of history lost to the whims of nature. And while the main structure has been saved and there will undoubtedly be efforts to rebuild the structure, the sad reality is that you cannot replace what has been lost.

The Notre Dame Cathedral will survive, but it has been drastically changed from this terrible tragedy. Whatever they rebuild in the place of what’s been lost might look similar to what came before or it might even be completely different, but it will not be the same as what was once there. It can never be that.

We mourn what is lost… but then we get together, we grow stronger, and we continue onwards. Life goes on.

So, that was my sad attempt at being inspirational. I’ll resume the usual senseless ramblings tomorrow.

Teasing The Rise Of Hamill

In case anyone remotely cares… it’s the teaser trailer for the next and final chapter in the much-maligned sequel trilogy of thrown-together feature films with no cohesive thought behind it whatsoever.

I won’t say much here – I’ll save my thoughts for tomorrow’s DTM-Cast episode. The only thing I will say that after the time wasted on The Last Jedi and the less than enthusiastic impressions of Solo, my reaction is simply… meh. For what it’s worth, there’s a good chance I’ll probably watch it with my older bro, but in terms of excitement, optimism, or anything resembling an emotional response or the slightest hint of interest… meh.

Oh well… let it play out and see where it goes, I suppose.

Power Rangers Reflections #20 – A Mystery To Me

And so here we are; a new set of Power Rangers Reflections and with it, a new approach.

So this is the new format; a basic plot summary and a couple points of observation. I’m fairly sure that somewhere down the line, we’ll do the old-school format for certain episodes, but for the moment, this is what we’re doing going forward. That way, I’ll be able to manage entries more quickly and perhaps even more frequently.

So today’s subject matter is the Power Rangers Zeo episode known as “A Mystery To Me,” where everyone participates in a “Who Done It” costume party. This also happens to be the two-hundredth overall episode of Power Rangers ever… and this is how they’re celebrating that monumental occasion… with a costume party.
