I’ve been slowly watching the third season of The Clone Wars animated series on Netflix, and gotta say, it keeps getting better and better. Makes me realize that the setting of the prequels isn’t really the problem, but rather that they’re just bad movies with bad storytelling.

Saturday Night Live (Season 42)

As I start thinking about what I liked and watched throughout the year for my year-end list, I’m reminded that SNL is one of the rare shows that I watch on a weekly basis (at this point, it was just this and Westworld), and how I continue to look forward to watching it, despite the…

Conan

I’ve been following Conan O’Brien’s various shows on and off since he started his talk show career, and after not having watched anything in a good year or two, I recently started watching Conan again, and am happy to see that it’s just as fun as ever.

I know the show is currently in the midst of season 3, but I just recently watched the last few episodes of season 2, and enjoyed them quite a lot. I continue to think that adult Ahsoka is the coolest Star Wars character, and so it’s a joy to have her play an important role…

This came out earlier this year, but it’s just been added to Hulu Japan, and so we watched the first episode today (which is the only episode available, as they’ll be releasing them weekly). Based on that first episode alone, it’s hard to tell if this is going to good or not (I’ve avoided reading…

Dallos

Next up in my 80s anime stroll — I’m not necessarily following the exact order given in the primer, and instead watching stuff when I’m in the mood for it — is Dallos, which has the distinction of being the very first OVA (“original video animation,” or direct-to-video, if you will) ever released. It’s also…
