Finding out that the actors who played Ulrich and Yumi (Code Lyoko) eventually ended up together and had a baby gives me some closure to the beloved series.

1. Outlander I adore the time travel romance plot, the tension between the old Scottish past and the modern day, and the chemistry between the two lead stars. Unfortunately, it does have its share of nudity and gore, which I wish could have been omitted. 2. Young Justice If you love DC superheroes, you will love this adaptation. Impressively detailed art and animations that deals with unexpectedly mature themes (e.g. politics, world conflicts, corruption) in each episode. The stakes seem real and each character's destiny is uncertain. 3. Good Doctor Open up your eyes to another medical drama and see through a different perspective. 4. Young Sheldon A wholesome family spin-off of The Big Bang Theory. 5. Marvel's Agents of Shield My, my, what a blast. A solid cast of heroes that you will love and hate. The plot really gets confusing but thrilling from Seasons 4 onwards. It's a jumble of inhumans, mutants, space and time travel. 6. The Flash The long-drawn out story bet...

Tong Ling Fei  is such a hoot. Better than Hakuouki, and has an added tinge of fourth-wall humour. Props to the subber TheLoneRogueWolf for the added meta-humour.

These past weeks have been a major throwback to Mulan's training montage. My assignments have been brutal but I hope I'm taking them in stride. I think I've been binge-eating comfort food as a result. (Am I the only one who occasionally nibbles on crumbs of sugar, salt and cheese?) Anyway, back on the topic of leadership. Behind the success of a great team is a noble captain, one who leads by example and assumes full responsibility for the team's development and performance, never blame-shifting when things go wrong. Although Shang was exasperated by the team's initial lack of skill, he rolled with the punches and successfully got his team physically and mentally fit to complete the mission. On a sidenote, while I am happy that Disney's Mulan (2020) is in the makes, I am nervous about the removal of some characters and introduction of new ones. So does this invalidate the Disney canon of Mulan (1998)? I hope not.

So I've caught up on the latest eps up to season 5 and I'm left with so many questions. *Spoiler alert for seasons 1 - 5* Some thoughts and questions I'm left with: Is Lotor really good now? Or does he have some sort of hidden agenda to make use of the lions? So Lotura ship is sailing huh? *shivers* When is Hunk going to get decent character development? He doesn't have to change sides to get CD, but maybe an upgrade in engineering expertise, some lesson learnt or something about his family? Lance & Pidge, you're doing great! It would be nice to see an episode on how Matt and Dad spent their missing years and perhaps how significantly it contributed to the war efforts. Lance is probably going to go the Sokka route. Pidge seems to have a Toph route ahead (tough route, get it? XD). Emo Keith looks set up to discover more about Mum. Who is his most-likely-human Dad? Why hasn't Mum tried contacting him or informing him through his caregiv...

Timeless is back for Season 2! I was so excited when I saw it pop up on my TVTime dashboard (Sidenote: Join TV Time using this referral link and get a month of VIF free! https://tvtime.com/r/l9lz ). All this while, I had thought it had been cancelled and had one less thing to look forward to this year. Well, am I glad that I was wrong. Secondly, although I'm 2 years late to the Voltron: Legendary Defender series, I finally stopped procrastinating on getting around to it. I'm 5 episodes in, and it has been a blast so far. The characters and their corresponding colours are slightly different from what I remember of the series I grew up with, Voltron: Defender of the Universe (I can only recall watching old reruns of the season finale) and Voltron: Third Dimension. The most obvious difference is that Shiro wasn't in it but I do remember Allura being the only female pilot, which was cool. That was probably the main reason I kept watching it. Unfortunately, it had 90's CGI a...

Something to boost your day.

I can't believe Book 2 is over. As much as I disliked how Book 1 turned out, I am surprised to say that the finale of Book 2 was emotional and breathtaking. Despite not liking how the main characters developed, the links to the past were exceptionally well done and every little cameo made it better. Unfortunately, I still don't like any of the main characters, which is a real pity, because if it had been the Gaang, the overall effect would have been so much more epic. In fact, in two short episodes, Wan impacted me so much more than Korra ever did. Crazy, but true. I'm looking forward to see how Book 3 turns out. With hope, it would be as good, if not better than Book 3 ~Fire~.

[Source:  http://avatarthelastairbenderonline.com/legend-korra-book-1-air-awards ] Here is my list of my favourite characters/moments in Avatar: The Legend of Korra: << Warning: Spoilers >>

Okay here are my problems in brief: Korra, Mako, and... : << Warning: Spoilers >>

korralations  via  benditlikekorra : I’ve never felt like I belong anywhere. I’m weird that way, but I feel it’s something that a lot of tumblr can relate too. I have friends. But every once in a while, they’ll be laughing about something I didn’t catch, and I’ll look at them and feel like I’m not quite what they are together, like I’m not part of that. As if I’m a stranger looking in. Sometimes I’ll step back and look at my family, and feel like an outcast. But there’s something about this song, about Avatar, that I just can’t articulate to people. It’s ineffable in a way, and I wish I could say it. The way this simple song brings 62 episodes rushing back, how you wish you could unwatch it just to watch it again, how you remember how much your heart ached when it ended. There’s no other way to describe it but an ache, a twisting in the pit of your stomach because it was over. Over. You heard those closing credits, the song The End of Avatar, and it simply ached. But jus...

missturdle : callmejude : river o river, flow gently for me such precious cargo you bear do you know somewhere he can be free? river, deliver him there   #remember how this is the most underrated animated movie of the 90s? remember how it’s one of the best movies of all time? yeah remember that?

benditlikekorra : korrawr : skoochythevagabond : I want to share something that’s kinda bothering me about Legend of Korra.  It’s not a bad thing really, and it’s not an example of bad writing or bad storytelling (actually it’s an example of very good storytelling). It’s just something that’s been bothering me and I don’t think people have really looked at it enough.
