Walkabout Thoughts

Title: Artificial Condition (The Murderbot Diaries) By Martha Wells What can I say about this book that has yet to be praised? It is a fun and wonderful romp in a dystopian future with everyone's favorite SecUnit Murderbot. Is it odd to feel attached to a construct with little to no human emotion? I say no, as it shows us how horrible we humans can be and how odd it must be for logical machines to make sense of us. In this book, Murderbot is looking into his past as to why he went on a killing spree in the past on an assignment in a mining facility. With the Help of his new "Friend" A.R.T, just don't ask what the A stands for and some humans he happens to get some work from. I say to everyone that we need more Muderbot, #Murderbot2020. Rating: GO READ IT NOW! YES NOW WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Disenchanted reminds me of several tabletop games I played in my youth as in D&D, Pallidum RPG, and White Wolf games. This medieval romp is a fun distinction from the Simpsons and Futurama that came out before Disenchanted and what a refreshing show it is. I would have to say that the Simpsons is suffering from running out of ideas, Futurama was also a good break from America's longest running show. It stars Bean the princess of the land, Elfo the elf and Luci Bean's personal Demon in their quest for booze and adventure (Plus the pile of bodies left in their wake). The misadventures of this group of misfits are pure fun in a coming of age story. Bean is a princess and like all of them in the dark ages where more of political tools for forming alliances, though she wants to find herself first (If she can stay sober enough to find out). Elfo a misfit elf that ran off to find the land of unhappiness as he was sick of being too happy. Only to find that he has a ...

Voltron was the main icon of my youth and at first, I was excited about the reboot. Season One was not the best and it really made a bad impression on me so much that I did not even know that they made other seasons. It was the BEST thing to happen Season Two really shown what made Voltron one of the best Reboots to come out in a very long time. I am glad that I binged it all to the most current Season Seven. This gave me time to enjoy the great animation as well as the sweet sweet synth-wave soundtrack in the background. Season Two made up for the first season it was more story driven by the characters themselves and it showed how they are growing as individuals as well as a team. This continued throughout the other seasons. There are some tributes in the show that break up the tension like in Season 6 EP 4 where they basically play D&D and I LOVED IT. Then in Season 7 Ep 4 with a homage to Family Fude that you just have to watch. Now the tra...

Movie: Black Panther Genere: Sci-fi, Comicbook, MCU Synopsis: Leaving off from Captin America: Civil War we follow  T'Challa after his father was killed in the explosion, heading back to Wakanda to take his place as King and as the Black Panther. The past comes to haunt the nation of Wakanda when Killmonger takes the stage. This movie is one of the best from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a long time and sets the stage for the first part of the Infinity War movies and shows the background for the Back Panther mythos. From the setting in Africa and the traditions seen in the movie make for more of a realistic Wakanda (makes me wish this was real) in a way that the DC movies could not. The pacing and the theme were well done, not to much action and not too much exposition and pauses for banter. The CGI and Cinematography of the locations were just great and this film discovered all the praise it has received.  Rating: WATCH IT OVER AND OVER (it...
