I picked up the pilot to the Transformers Animated series recently, because it was said to have many throwbacks to G1. I don’t normally watch any of the new Transformers cartoons, cuz well, they suck! The only series I watched was G1, & Beast Wars, since they were actually linked together. I discount all the anime style Transformers shows because they tend to be so stupid looking. So I was a bit worried about this new series, now 2 years old. Well.. I was surprised and amazed actually at how good this new series is! Everything is well produced, and although it has anime shades in it, it’s not really anime style. So this is a blessing! I watched the pilot, and right off the bat it shows a future Optimus Prime watching a documentary about Cybertrons past, and the actual footage they used is right out of G1! So cool!

The characters all resemble similar characters from G1 and the movie, and I must say, they made Starscream quite like the G1 Starscream! The transform sounds are from G1 and the music on the intro is similar to G1 as well. I won’t give anything away, and all I can say is if you were a fan of G1, check this series out! Season 1 arrives on DVD this August! I’ll be sure to get that as well, as I hear there are many shoutouts to the original G1 series.

V: Twenty years after invading, the Visitors now have a solid chokehold on Earth’s scientists, intellectuals, celebrities and natural resources. While there remains an active resistance movement, they cannot stop the domination of Earth on their own. Enter the alien Zedti. Enemies of the Visitors (though sharing their general lack of concern for individual human lives), the Zedti come to the aid of the resistance efforts. Throughout, it remains ambiguous whether the Zedti are truly friends of humanity.

If you watched this show in the 80’s it was pretty cool! So now here is the new book, and the writer is trying to get a new mini series produced to continue the story where it left off. If this is the case, it would look far cooler than it did in the 80’s. However, too many people have forgotten this story, and would be best to remake the original rather than the continuation as all the younger viewers of TV would have no idea what this show or series is about. It should be re-introduced to everyone with a fresh start.

SuperChannel has been re-launched! If you remember SuperChannel from the 80’s it was Canada’s Pay-TV movie station. It was such a cool concept back then! I remember they used to have free preview weekends all the time, and I could watch movies all day!

Now it’s back, in a way, of course it’s quite different now, and basically only the name remains, as the programing is very different and I think they have 4 stations now.

Anyway, here is a tribute to the original SuperChannel from the 80’s. Some audio, and video. The audio is clear and in stereo, very rare! Enjoy!

LOST season 4 will be out on DVD on December 9. It’s too bad we have to wait so long. They obviously chose to delay the release closer to the holiday season rather than a September/October release so that they could make more sales. I think this logic is pointless as LOST fans will buy it regardless, and they are not going to buy it for someone else, especially if they have never watched LOST before. So we must wait… and on December 9th, I will indulge myself into those DVD’s.
