@AhmadSumadi Oh I know it! Though Bob was mixed (like me) and suffered racism at home because of it until he hit the big time.

@RogerRoger Just finished season two of Westworld. I wanted to wait until all the episodes were together as I hate watching narrarive shows weekly. Overall I thought it was rather excellent, although not quite as mysterious as the first season, where I spent the whole series trying to figure out what was going on. Acting and production values were brilliant throughout, as to be expected. Standout performances again from Evan Rachel Wood and Thandie Newton. Nice to see Anthony Hopkins return.

Favourite episodes - Akane no Mai. The Shogun World episode was nicely shot and had a beautiful setting. Akane had such strength and resolve.
Kiksuya - an episode I initially thought to be largely detached from the ongoing action of the season, but after watching the finale, I realised this not to be entirely the case. Lovely to see the story of one of the peripheral characters of the show - who until now we believed to be a villian - and how he awoke to his own sentience.

Anyways great show. Very interested to see where it goes with season 3!

Wow, the new Titans series looks very dark and violent.

@RogerRoger I haven't read the comics for a long time now. Is this the new version of Robin in the comics? Otherwise, I feel it's very out of character for Robin him to say that.

I've also only watched a few episodes of Gotham's Season 1. Can't say that I enjoyed them, to be honest.

@RogerRoger Yeah, I've seen the animated movies that featured Damien Wayne and I was thinking that too. Now DC's trying to copy Deadpool and Logan by going R-rated.lol

@RogerRoger @WanderingBullet the trailer was very DCEU. Dark and gritty for no real reason and yeah the F*** Batman line was was out of character for Robin, for Nightwing it might fit at times but not Robin

also HELL YEAH! on The Clone Wars coming back, it might only be 12 episodes right now but that's OK by me if it means the series gets a proper finish

@RogerRoger i enjoyed the Lost Missions, i had to import it though because it was never released in the UK because for some reason Disney decided not to

@FullbringIchigo @RogerRoger Yeah, maybe Netflix's MCU series might have a better example instead of the two movies I've mentioned. Can't recall but I think there might have been some swearing in Jessica Jones too.

Oh, I've watched some the Clone Wars (I think it was on Cartoon Network?) before and they're quite good. I definitely the prefer Clone Wars's art style and character designs over Rebels.

I'm also looking forward to see more of The Dragon Prince (developed by the creator Avatar: The Last Airbender). So far, I think they've only released one image.

@RogerRoger Speaking of Discovery, you see the Season 2 Trailer yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09Cd7NKKvDc

@RogerRoger just tell you inner Trekkie that once you watch an episode of Discovery it can watch an episode of DS9 or something

@RogerRoger

Trailer for The Dragon Prince.

Looks not bad considering it's CGI animated. I haven't read the review yet, to avoid spoilers.

Batman: The Animated Series (Remastered) Blu-ray.

@WanderingBullet Ooooh good find, l was well into that show as a kid.

@WanderingBullet

For the UK crew it is one penny under 60 pounds on Amazon. But it looks like that is only the Blu rays with none of the fancy extras.

@RogerRoger I am hopeful. Roberto Orci is a bad 'un though, do not have any faith in him whatsoever.

@RogerRoger @JohnnyShoulder @Tasuki Yeah, I'm thinking about getting it as well but it depends on October's games.

@RogerRoger Yeah, not a huge fan of Funko Pop figurines myself. Maybe the set would've been cheaper without them.

@WanderingBullet I have the first two seasons on DVD, never got around to getting the others. This would be a nice way to complete my collection.
