I could go along with the King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table angle. The actors were not terrible some of the time and were terrible other times but bad acting is usually the fault of bad direction, though in the case of Mark Wahlberg, it was obvious he rather be somewhere else. The special effects were not very bad but the stunt choreography was unbelievable, and not in a good way. I just could not believe that five story falls and landing on hard surfaces, no matter how much tuck and rolling they do would be survivable without severe injuries. In previous Transformer movies they went a little far with Optimus Prime being saved by Labouf or what ever his name was, but Mark Wahlberg rocking and rolling in the middle of Bumble Bee and Optimus Prime was just plain ridiculous. This movie was watchable for me but I am not that critical of a viewer and even I could tell that it was one of the worst Transformer movies.

This series has all the political intrigue of heavy handed bullying and betrayal by those in power that is only surpassed by Joe Biden's China Puppet Regime administration. In a world where truth is stranger than fiction, it is nice to have some fiction where the heroes bring the political criminals to justice. The one advantage the heroes have in this tale is the leader of the Free World and President of the United States is not a traitor to her Country and is actually a good guy that the heroes need to expose the corrupt criminal officials in her administration to. Can you imagine the heroes trying to expose the DOJ, FBI, CIA, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the United States Attorney General to Joe Biden? The show would be over and the heroes arrested for insurrection. In this story, the corruption stops before the top and the President is not a rotten traitor, so the heroes are able to defeat the powerful political adversaries who are trying to steal power. The actors are all very good and believable which can only happen with expert direction. I was somewhat surprised that the female lead is from New Zealand because she really embodies the All-american girl next door who the male lead falls in love with, complete with an American accent and computer skills necessary to win the day. I say somewhat surprised because the acting talent coming out of New Zealand is very good.

After giving creepy Andy and the other victims a mystical medicinal cure, Lana asks him who he is and Brimstone gives her his card that at first reads only Brimstone but then a second later a phone number appears, 555-6777. When the evil Prodo takes over Superboy, it is up to Brimstone to cure Superboy and use his magic powders to defeat Prodo and save the day. When Brimstone is disabled in combat with Prodo, then Superboy must be the one to save the day. Brimstone hands his magic powders to Superboy and flys over to where Prodo is holding Lana hostage. Superboy crushes all the powders and uses his super breath to blow them at Prodo. Lana must be immune to the magic powders as she remains standing while Prodo collapses and is consumed.

Kato is played by the great actor Mako. Kato is a Japanese name first seen in Hollywood in the Green Hornet 1940's serials. Keyes Luke was one of the stars who played him back then and of course Bruce Lee played Kato in the 1966 TV series a year after this episode. At this time in his life Mako had a full head of hair as Major Nelson demonstrates by grabbing it. Kato speaks with Barbara Eden's voice as this is supposed to be her magical disguise. Gas stoves were actually common in Florida as we had one in Sarasota at the time of this episode and yes it was propane. Barbara Eden was the first pre adolescent love of many of my generation.

The acting was wonderful and many of my favorite Stars were in this movie. Some people may not like the bad guy, or in this case, the bad gal win in the end but if this show had not been canceled, the second season would have set up one heck of a revenge fiiled third season. Jane Badler who played Diana, the Queen Visitor reptile from the original series is great as the ex-Queen that was deposed by her daughter, the new Queen Anna, played by the beautiful and talented Morena Baccarin. Anna has many of the main characters slayed by the end of the last episode, including her mother Diana who she kills with her tail. The talented and attractive Elizabeth Mitchell plays Erica Evans who loses her Husband and son to Anna's machinations but survives to meet the Star of the original V series Marc Singer who plays another leader fighting against the Visitors named Lars Tremont. The talented and stunningly beautiful Laura Vandervoort plays Lisa, the daughter of Queen Anna who seems to be too nice for her own good and let's everyone down in the end when she decides to give her mother another chance. Anna takes that chance by imprisoning Lisa, making an exact replica of Lisa who anna refers to as daughter, and Anna sends her new daughter to breed with Erica Evans's son Tyler. Evidently the Visitor Queens need to feed on their mates to furnish sustenance for their eggs as Anna's new daughter kills Tyler after the mating is over. Much like the original V, this new version has a super hybrid who is actually the daughter of a human Valerie Stevens, played by the beautiful and talented Lourdes Benedicto who is also a victim of Anna. The hybrid's father Ryan Nichols is a Visitor played by the very talented Morris Chestnut and whose character is actually murdered by his daughter. The super hybrid comes in when Anna is failing at blissing the human race by taking over and blissing them for Anna. If the third season had been made I would have like to see Lars Tremont make a revenge maddened Erica Evans an Iron man like suit to destroy Anna, Lisa's lookalike and the Super hybrid while making peace with the rest of the Visitors but that will never be.

I could never believe the King of Queens Dougie could get an attractive wife but the idea that Lori Loughlin's character would ask Drew to marry her was beyond belief. If this was played as a practical joke on Drew or Lori Loughlin's character as a psycho serial killer, I could go along with the plot but as a real proposal that Drew turns down, no way. As a case of Drew being self aware enough to know she was out of his league, this makes Drew Carey seem like a genius but Drew settling down with Mimi would make a much more compatible pairing. A beautiful woman with an ugly man has been done before but to make it believable, you have to at least make him rich.

This could more likely be a person with hypertrichosis who is mentally imbalanced. I have an open mind so if they catch a werewolf and scientifically prove it is a werewolf with DNA evidence, it would not shock me.

You would find it very difficult if not impossible to top Gloria Gaynor as teacher chaperone singing her top song at the prom but they supplied a few other good songs to follow hers. The writers provided interesting plots that the talented actors With talented direction added many seasons to this first one.

Unlike the Lavelle Junson character, I enjoy super hero movies. That being said Coming 2 America is the best movie I've seen for a long time and not just because super hero actor Wesley Snipes was playing a threatening dictator of a neighboring Country. Anytime you have James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman in the same movie, it's going to be good, add John Amos to the mix with his McDonald's rip offs and more laughs will ensue. Of course Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall led the way but the older stars added the extra icing on the cake to go with the Mcflurries.

Did anybody read the script before they accepted it to be produced? After the success of the first Wonder Woman movie with Gal Gadot everybody was anxious for the second one. Be careful what you wish for is never a good stand alone plot and how often do you have to mention the monkeys paw to pound the theme of the movie into the audience's brain. I've seen movies that had actors who have proven in their previous movies they could act but because of poor direction they seemed like no talent newbies making funny faces for the camera. This was such a movie. Editing can save a bad movie or destroy a great one. This was a bad movie that failed to seamlessly join each scene together. Everything seemed forced together for reasons that were sometimes apparent but never trying to appeal to the audiences interests. Eat it, swallow it, don't spit it out, they seemed to be telling us. Even Lynda Carter's little cameo appearance was stale and tasteless. It would have been a better movie if everything was left on the cutting room floor. This is worse than the Hulk movies and Fantastic Four movies. Don't expect another stand alone Wonder Woman movie in this decade.

I will be brief. This show eliminated the fourth wall. They should have kept it and added a fifth.

The impractical and dangerous idea that knowing your genetic heritage is unimportant may make for an interesting story but is totally unbelievable. In the event of an accident where immediate medical attention is needed, the time they would have saved by knowing who the biological father is could be the difference between life and death.

I am a fan of Barbara Eden and Elizabeth Montgomery. I could imagine Dick York when he left Barbara Eden and scampered off with his ill gotten gains, to somehow time travel from the old west of Rawhide into the 60's Bewitched. Of course he is caught and brought to justice by Barbara Eden and Clint Eastwood but he did have about a year to do his time a go straight to Elizabeth Montgomery. Just a little spoiler but we already knew he would get caught.
