Angel: After the Fall

I was a bit disappointed that Angel got cancelled after the series finale left Angel and company battling a horde of demons. I was happy to hear that there was a Season 6 in comic book form. Apparently, after Team Angel takes down the Circle of the Black Thorn, the Senior Partners of Wolfram and Hart send Los Angeles and everyone in it to Hell. The comic book, Angel: After the Fall, shows what happens to Team Angel. Some of my favorite characters are in this book. Illyria, Nina Ash, Wesley, Connor, Gunn and even Kate Lockley. Today I bought the first issue and I enjoyed while sitting in my car in this hot Missouri Spring. I was lucky to find a place that sells the comic book. I wandered around downtown for a while before I found it. It was pretty well hidden. I learned about it from a guy who runs a second-hand bookstore. I hope the store wasn't one of those magic stores that only appear at certain times like in that book The Chocolate Touch. This comic book looks to be a worthy successor to the Angel series. Maybe there will be a movie or two made that is set after the comic book series. Something that will leave the us, the fans, and the characters in the Angel/Buffyverse with a sense of closure and finality.

MovieTome People Edit

While trying to edit and add actors to movies on MovieTome, I found out that I was not able to. Apparently, there is something wrong with this feature on MovieTome. Is there anyone who knows when this problem will be resolved? I like this new site and I hope to raise my level on it.

Remembered And Forgotten Movies Of My Youth

For a while I have been trying to remember the name of a movie I saw years ago but could not remember the name of. The movie was about a young boy lost in the wilderness. The only parts I could remember were near the end. The boy has made breakfast and either a boat or helicopter lands. The boy asks if the pilot wants breakfast. Then, he is back at home and the movie ends. If anyone knows the name of this movie, please let me know as soon as possible. It has been bugging me. While trying to remember this film, I started remembering others that I had seen when I was younger. Maybe they will jog your memory a bit.

1. Daniel and the Towers

2. The Adventures of Milo and Otis

3. The Girl From Tomorrow

4. Back Home

5. Hyper Sapien: People from Another Star

6. Vincent and Me

7. The Boy Who Loved Trolls

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Today is one of the better St. Patrick's Days in recent memory for me. It got me thinking of some of the fairy tale creatures I used to think about when I was younger. Leprechauns, trolls, selkies, will o' the wisps, etc. Not a bad thing to remember being a kid once in a while. I just finished a three day weekend at work, I'm off for two days, I have internet at home and I finished a good book. When working in a factory, the days go by fast. The days off go even faster. The pain in my arms sure doesn't help. I need to get back into school soon. With my new laptop, I am able to access the internet at home instead of going to town to do it. The book I just finished is Dead Beat, the seventh book in the Dresden Files series. I plan to buy the next book, Proven Guilty, today at Hastings. I hope everybody who read this, Irish or not, will have a happy St. Patrick's Day.

What's Been Up With Me

It's been a while since I have written a blog. Here's what I've been up to. I still work at my factory job making manifolds for residential furnaces. I work 12 hour shifts and my hands aren't very happy about it. I had a couple of weeks off because they did inventory which gave mea chance to rest. For a while, I have been dealing with the info about a friendhaving brain cancer. That hit me when I first heard. Heroes Season 2 finished up. It wasn't as long as Season 1. I was awarded trusted user status on the Heroes guide. That was good and unexpected. I plan to take at least one class at college to help me get my BA degree. Not much happens where I am. I still hope to, one day, save the world.

Olivia Cheng
Avg Score: 9.40    Total Ratings: 1    Total Reviews: 1
I first saw the talent of Olivia Cheng while watching the Western miniseries Broken Trail. She does a wonderful job in this story of Chinese immigrants in the Old West. Much of her work is meaningful and sends a message to her audience. Not only is she an actress, she has written some fine newspaper articles and worked as a broadcast journalist. Besides being very talented, Olivia has contributed her time to various charitable causes. One thing that fascinates me about her is that she also struggles with a mental illness. It gives me confidence that she is a success regardless of that. I have learned that she is attending school while she searches for acting work. Olivia Cheng has been around for a while but is not getting much attention. I hope that, one day, she'll be able to follow in the footsteps of other great actors and actresses.

Devil with a Plaid Skirt

While he's at confession, Sean finds out that his old friend Timmy is now Father Tim, a priest. Back at home, Lily decides to quit school after being disgraced by forcing every girl at school to wear jumpers. Jimmy, after watching The Exorcist at the theatre, becomes convinced he is possessed. Sean, after trying to prove Sister Helen wrong in Lily's skirt situation, tries to recruit Tim in bringing down Sister Helen. In another minor storyline, Tim and Claudia used to date in high school. Claudia was Tim's last girlfriend before he became a man of the cloth. I enjoyed the exorcism performed by Tim and Lily declaring that she and Brad are gonna get married. This episode is one of my favorites.

Avg Score: 9.06    Total Ratings: 29    Total Reviews: 2
After Andy changes the station format to rock and roll, he gets pressure from Mr. Carlson to get results. Losing a bunch of the station's former sponsors doesn't help much, either. Soon, Mr. Wayne R. Coe comes to the station demanding that they change it back to easy listening. After Herb, pretending to be Carlson, tells Coe off, Coe comes back with a small band of former listeners who picket and chant in the lobby. Carlson attempts to keep the situation hidden from his mother. It's pretty funny how he has a phone for regular calls and a red phone for his mother's calls. There is even a funny storyline about Carlson's gardener, I think it's the gardener, thinking he's being controlled by Wally Schirra. After hearing Johnny putting out ideas on how to get the station publicity, Les goes into conspiracy mode. In the end, Andy figures out a way to get free publicity for the station in a very unlikely way.

Geneva Locke
Avg Score: 9.02    Total Ratings: 5    Total Reviews: 1
Geneva Locke appeared as Young Max on the hit series Dark Angel. It's the only TV show she ever did, but she is still making a name for herself in the world. She is a known star in ultimate frisbee and is attending college in Canada where she is studying Commerce. In my conversations with her, Geneva has told me that she didn't really like acting. Geneva Locke is an outstanding young woman who enjoys lots of life's simple things. She hasn't chosen a future career yet, but it should be interesting. Geneva Locke is proof that not all former TV stars rise and then fall.

When first meeting Jarod, it is obvious that he is not also very smart, but empathic towards other people. He speaks Greek, which is probably very rare in the US. He starts out the episode by performing a complicated surgical technique. Jarod gets a job as a doctor at a New York hospital in the Bronx. He spends time trying to help a little boy who was left a paraplegic by an intoxicated surgeon. Meanwhile, Miss Parker, whose first name is unknown, and Sydney, last name unknown, try to find Jarod to bring him back to the Centre, an unscrupulous think tank that used Jarod in simulations. They track him down by a set of clues that he leaves for them. We learn that Jarod is a pretender, a genius who is able to become anyone. He has been with the Centre since the early 1960's and escaped after learning the true nature of the Centre's simulations. While in the outside world, Jarod is amazed at the things he missed while in the Centre. Jarod is on a crusade to help the people that have been wronged.

About Me

 
walrus_8463
My name is Chris. I'm an aspiring Education student at a small community college in Missouri. I hope to one day become an elementary school teacher. After I get my Bachelor's Degree, I plan to join and work as a teacher in the Peace Corps. I am currently working full time as an operator at a factory. I also teach English to some Chinese friends, but I do that for free. I am 23 years old. I enjoy TV, movies, Chinese food and the company of close friends. I am very happy to have found this site. It gives me a hobby that I enjoy. I finally have a chance to put my TV knowledge to use. I fear that my addiction to TV may have made me less functional in the real world. But I'll deal with that when the time comes. I have bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Both of these conditions make for a less than ordinary life. I am in the process of trying to find my life's calling. I would one day like to travel to another country.
