Something occurred to me. A lot of people who watched this are going to seek out that "Purple People Eater" song that the bad guy Bastion was playing when I'm having visions of people making fan art of him in short shorts saying "I like short shorts." And this horrifies me. 😟

I think I know why this episode was titled "Bright Eyes". Because calling it "Total Eclipse of the Heart" would be too on the nose. The bright and cheery Rogue is gone. All she wants now is vengeance. Throwing Captain America's shield a good what? 20 miles after his "hands are tied" comment was just a sample, but we were past the point of no return when In other news, my Emma Frost is alive! She can turn into diamond like in the comics even though the show is set in 1997 and that power of hers didn't manifest until 2001. Also, I was surprised to see Belladonna at Gambit's funeral after how badly their relationship ended in the second season. Seeing the makeshift memorial site for those who were killed actually got to me, especially that picture of Callisto and Leech. They looked so happy. And Beast's comment was also sad. The X-Men were fighting for tolerance when they should had been fighting more for acceptance. Scott and Jean seem to be on the mend, though I do question why Jean has her hair let down like Madelyne's was. Speaking of Jean, I keep thinking of something. Since episode 2, we keep seeing scenes of her from the original series of her as the Dark Phoenix. Is this foreshadowing something?

Watched A Midsummer's Night's Dream earlier today. My God, did Mickey Rooney get any award recognition for his acting. He stole every scene he was in. He was just mind blowing. And Bottom's terrible play left me in stitches. However, the dance sequences were a bit boring and the ladies were singing so high, I couldn't understand them. Despite this, I still like the movie.

Let me sum up the episode in two words - Nightmare. Fuel. I must say, Alyson Sealy-Smith does an amazing job voicing The Adversary you'd think it was someone else doing it. Oh, and someone important comes back. And we find out who is really behind the Sentinels.

Just finished Breakfast at Tiffany's. The scenes at the end where Holly throws the cat out of the taxi and then is going all over the alleyway for him in tears is just gut wrenching. I have a cat and have had cats so I can't even fathom of having throw out anyone of them. It all works out in the end, though.

Well, I watched Cat on a Hot Tin Roof last night. Loved it. Elizabeth Taylor is a amazing, you can see Paul Newman all ready rising as a star, and Burl Ives is just amazing as Big Daddy. The sequence with him and Paul Newman's character about why his friend/secret lover (implied but they couldn't out right say it) killed himself is great. Plus, there's Tennessee William's mastery of the Southern Gothic style that's captivating. And, God, how I wish I had the strength in me to call kids who annoy me "no necked monsters".

Good for her. It was nice that she stepped up when no else would.

Well, I saw Grey Gardens for the second time tonight. I can sympathize with being a shut-in who lives with a cantankerous old mother that you often have nasty fights with. I need to know though is did Jackie Kennedy ever find out what was happening with her aunt and cousin? If so, did she do anything about it?

Ok, here's the Marvel Fandom page that gives a list of what characters appeared and who died in the mutant massacre. Word to the wise - get some free adblockers before you click on the link or else it's pop up city. X-Men '97 Episode Five "Remember it"

That Beau DeMayo says "episode five" is just the warm up and episodes 8-10 are the big ones makes me fearful that we may be in store for one hell of a cliffhanger. 😟

You'll need it. Oh, and Ace of Base's "Happy Nation" gets used in the episode in a very amazing scene.

I just finished watching the new episode. None of you. None of you are prepared for what happens. 😭💔

Jean was found in a flashback in the first part of "The Dark Phoenix Saga" on rock shores of Muir Island. Storm's story arc was based on her time in the mid-80s when she changed her look from "storm goddess" to "mohawk biker" and she had no powers. It had something to do with her becoming more ruthless during her fight with Callisto, which did not involve energy staffs like in the cartoon, but switchblade knives. Storm succeeds in stabbing Callisto to save the life of Kitty Pryde and the freedom of the X-Men. When Storm changes her look, Kitty, who looked up to Storm as a big sister type, is rather upset by this. Ironically, Kitty would go through a similar story arc where she develops an edge and a adopts a dark blue costume to reflect this. And Morph looks the way he does because that's how he looks like in the X-Men storyline "Age of Apocalypse". It fits what the producers concept of him being more gender fluid.

Pretty good episode. It was divided into two parts: one on Jubilee and Roberto and the other on Forge and Storm. I won't spoil much but this We do get some cute nods to Who's the Boss, A Different World, and Divorce Court that got a bit of a giggle out of me.
