Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman: Swear to God, This Time We're Not Kidding (1996)
The kind of sweet episode
This was the best way to have the wedding happen. Making the villain be someone who while menacing could be defeated not through her being incompetent I mean seriously one button push Lois dead wedding never happening again no matter what is done.
I liked how they tied in that the villain's theme was weddings and allowed them to explore how love can be lost, found, and overcome.
The best angle of the whole episode though was that Mike this guardian angel this guy who is always looking out for people kept stepping in to add a much needed word of support here and there. The episode was like their wedding simple and beautiful.
What people forget is that we haven't been waiting three seasons to see them get married we have been waiting 58 years. I say this goes down as the best episode of the series. People who don't like it didn't really care about the love and wanted more action.
The Flight of Dragons (1982)
Peter Dickenson and George Dickson
I think the reason it might not have been re released yet is because the movie while using the science from Peter Dickenson's book takes most of the characters from George and yet George does not get any credit on the film.
My theory is that due to him neither getting money nor credit for this work George does not want it re released until he has been fairly compensated for what is obviously his work. I have read both books and in Flight of the Dragons I at no point notice the mention of a talking wolf nor a wizard named Carolinus.
Both of these characters appear in George's book and in fact the man in the book turns into a large dragon named Gorbash. I think it would be nice if he got the credit for character invention then maybe we could see a re release.
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors (1985)
Greatest? Good storytelling?
Did anyone actually watch it? I put the DVD in and wanted to take it out soon after. Watching the pilot I found it seemed to ignore things like continuity and information that others couldn't possibly have. One minute they are making it sound like the group is being taught about the Monster Minds for the first time. The very next second they know everything about fighting them and defeating them as if they have been doing it for years.
Then we are supposed to believe that a businessman who transports people and things for a living decides since the payment wasn't real that rather than dump them on the nearest planet in favor of paying customer's he is just going to keep them on until he gets paid even if that never happens? Most cartoons of the 80's showed more intelligence than that. This cartoon is constantly contradicting itself and allowing the good guys to win no matter how many times they screwed up. I like 80's cartoons because they often showed a level of thought that today's cartoons don't seem to think kids capable of. Jayce was a precursor to those.
