Screen Drone #9 14/03/2014

Oz is back with an all new Screen Drone. Interesting television smashed over the head with an Oz-Brick.

Surprise!!! It's back! Took a long break because the holidays were busy and also there was nothing on. Welcome to the return of Screen Drone.

Adventure Time 550.551 - Lemonhope parts 1 and 2. It's....really hard to describe this one. I think the animators and writers dropped some acid and were like fuck it. Yes, more then usual. Either way, it's a coming of age story and a conclusion to the insanity known as the Lemongrab Kingdom.

Hunter X Hunter 120 - Pitou unveils his master scheme in yet another exposition filled episode. This is my favourite anime, but recent episodes (and most of this arc) are taking me back to the drawn out style of DBZ, which I fucking hated.

Chozen 107 - A new animated from FX that follows a homosexual rapping Caucasian ex convict recently released from prison. Yup.

Archer 507 - Listen all of you all, it is a sabotage.

Community 508 - MeowBeans. Satireing social media apps with the most exaggerated societal outcome, within the confined walls of Greendale.

HIMYM 920 - It was the day of Barney and Robin's wedding and a surprise guest had just arrived.

Community 509 - A goof up on my part garners y'all an extra review. Rejoice! The community gets fractured into pieces. Pile of bullets, hardcore-gangsta rapping peanut bars, and stolen text books threaten the save greendale committee's unity and things are never the same after....or are they. The answer is yes, they are.

Almost Human 113 - Detective Kennex opens a cold case previously followed by his father. One that cost him his life. **last week, no new episode this week**

Workaholics 408 - Starring Robin Williams, Paulie Shorre, Michael Cera and Bradley Cooper. "Trust me, I'm big on pleasure. Probably too big for your little *bleep*s."

TMNT 213 - Tremors and earthquakes in the city cause April, Casey and the turtles to investigate underground, and of course it involves the ones known as the Krang. Meanwhile, enter Tiger Claw with the return of the Shredder from his Japanese "business" trip.

Kill La Kill 021 - From the creators of TENGEN TOPPA GURREN-LAGANN. With lagann, empowerment of brotherhood was depicted. This time around, it is about the empowerment of women. You couldn't tell by just looking, but the message is there, somewhere amongst all that flesh.

The Big Bang Theory 718 - Some of the domestic nerds travel to Texas while some of them voyage to their imagination. You don't need to be a Byomkesh Bakshi to figure out that fun ensues.

Modern Family 517 - All the women on this show are fantastically attractive. The family oriented sitcom still does an exceptional job with the play on words after five years and this season has Adam Devine.

Bob's Burgers 413 - It's parent's day at the Waggstaff School. Bob and Linda (and the viewers) get treated to three short, wildly imaginative tales written and narrated by the Belcher kids.

Parks and Recreation 616 - The 616 episode! In which Star Lord confesses his deepest secrets, Duke Silver returns and Tom moves forward with his business venture.

Screen Drone #7

This segment is about interesting TV. And sometimes movies. Smashed over the head with an Oz brick.

The Simpsons - Lisa get's competition.

Adventure Time - Finn n Jake say goodbye and hello to an old friend.

How I Met Your Mother - The ALL rhyming episode *_*

Axe Cop - An AC thanksgiving.

Almost Human - I like this show. It's my reverse agents of shield aka manages to entertain.

Comic Book Men - A ride in the General Lee.

Family Guy - Do you think it will last?

Bob's Burgers - Thanks Giving.

Screen Drone #6

This segment is about interesting TV. And sometimes movies. Smashed over the head with an Oz brick.

Storage Wars Texas 318: This show is sweeping the continent and I'm addicted. I don't know why, but I just am. Give a try and I bet you will be too.

How I Met Your Mother 910: Listen all of y'all, it's a ZABKA-TAGE!!!!

Almost Human 101-102: Agents of Shield boring you? Try Almost Human, it has the budget, the fun, and the imagination that the previous is sorely lacking.

Axe Cop 109: Someone is trying to steal the sun? Not if AC has anything to say about it!

Adventure Time 541: Part two of Demon Blood. Can Finn rescue Jake in time? Well..ya, of course he can.

This one, we get some anticipated Lady Rainacorn action.

Comic Book Men 306: Even the guys get STORAGE WAR fever.

The Legend of Korra 211-214: Four episodes of none stop battle to decide the fate of the Avatar and the spirit world. Don't miss these quickly released season enders.

South Park 1708: Part two of what I would call GAME OF CONSOLES. After her betrayal last episode, Lady McKormic flourishes in her grace and beauty.

Parks and Recreation 609: Ron sells his cabin. Leslie deals with the on setting reality of losing her bff.

Son of Anarchy 611: Ron ...Pearlllllmaaaan.....

The Big Bang Theory 709: Thanksgiving and beer.

Modern Family 508: ZOOOOOOO-EEEE!!!!

American Horror Story 307: Character development, character development and character development! New bonds are forged. Also, dead kids orgy.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 205: Oh Mikey...

East Bound and Down 408: Epic finale to an epic show. I'm guessing this is the end of EBAD.

Parenting With The Soylent Greens: A Nerds Guide

This installment is a bit late and I do apologise for that but the book being reviewed was longer than the last one. This time we'll be reviewing “Adventure Time Mathematical Edition: Vol 1”. This weeks book is a HC trade which collects The FCBD issue and 1-4 of adventure time as well as some other extras like covers.

Mat- For me this book was almost perfect. It had a strong story which I really didn't expect from a comic book aimed at younger readers and has all of the humour from the adventure time TV show, The only thing missing is John DiMaggio's voice. If you only considered the amount of story content in the book this isn't incredible value (especially since 1 issue was free in the first place) but the sheer amount of effort that has gone into the book makes it worth the extra. The book is a pleasure to hold (it just feels nice in your hands) with the embossed cover designed by Stephanie Gonzaga... then you open the cover and meet the first piece of artwork which is just beautiful and has so many little nods to the series including the Magic Man, Lemongrab, Tree Trunks and Ricardio. The story is pretty solid, following on from the episode “Mortal Recoil” it follows the idea that the Lich was able to survive the episode by hiding the bag of holding and decides that he can use the bag to destroy all life and mostly Finn and Jake. For me I found that the story flowed well and didn't seem forced near the end. It ran its course and felt like it should end where it did.

My only complaint with this book was the additional content in the back. Every cover for the first 4 issues were included in the back and there were a few “behind the scenes” pages including a short story but I was left wanting more concept art however that's just left me wanting volume 2 to see more.

 Megan- “This is a long book but its funny. I didn't know what it was about until I watched adventure time again and then I remembered who the Lich was. The story took a long time to read but I didn't want to read the last pages because there was just pictures to look at and daddy already has them in his box to look at. I liked the book and want to read the Marceline comic now.”

 Value for money- 7/10. With 20% of the story effectively free and the additional content being “boring” to children, this book caters more to adults than anybody else, however the book only costs £2 more than the TPB and the quality of the HC it is vastly superior. Story and Art- 10/10. This is exactly what it promised it would be when I opened it.

Overall- 8/10. This book does need a small amount of adventure time knowledge but its pretty easy to pick up. It has a strong story and in my opinion you would be justified to buy the HC over the TPB just for the quality of the book. The book is also strong enough to share with the family without being boring to parents or inappropriate for children.

Review: Adventure Time #1

This is a comic I’ve been excited for, there are many things I love about ‘Adventure Time’ with Fin and Jake. I thought it would work perfectly for the comic medium. In this issue, as in the show, we are given two stories. One is centered on Fin and Jake while the other story, aptly titled ‘My Cider Mountain’ follows the adventure of another character, Tree Trunks. The first opens with the “mysterious” snail that appears in every episode of Adventure Time. When I saw this I knew it was going to be true to form and in fact the snail is the catalyst to the first main story.
