I love Mobile Police #Patlabor, an #anime #mecha series unlike any other. It’s been around for a very long time and will be returning next year with Patlabor EZY. If you are new to Patlabor, check out STEVEM’s fantastic retrospective. #animation #TV #movies #scifi #mamoruoshii www.youtube.com/watch

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the loss of #TV icon George Wendt, known worldwide as Norm Peterson from #Cheers. Kottke posted this supercut of every time Norm walked into the bar. Pure gold way to celebrate pure gold. #obits #GeorgeWendt #TooSoon kottke.org/25/05/sup…

For oldsters: Watch this video to confirm your admiration for these shows. For youths: Watch this video to find new shows that’ll blow your mind. Conclusion: Any list that includes Cowboy Bebop must be accurate. That is all. #scifi #tv #90s youtu.be/uT42ldiYM…

Wow. How odd. #StarTrek #scifi #STTNW #SpongebobSquarepants #TV #animation www.youtube.com/watch

I legit sat and stared at the screen for like ten minutes after watching the pilot. GLITCH, creators of The Amazing Digital Circus, has a new series called The Gaslight District and it’s amazing. You’ve never seen anything like this. #animation #pilot #TV #adultanimation www.youtube.com/watch

If you’ve been crouching in a closet moaning to yourself about how long it’s taking to get Season 3 of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds, it seems we might have an official date from SkyShowtime Netherlands. It’s August 1st. That’s it for now. #StarTrek #STSNW #scifi www.youtube.com/watch

LA is my hometown. The #Capitalism segment of #Hollywood is dwarfed by the creatives who make the media we love. They should be paid and not replaced by #AI. Now watch Mikey’s video about the sign. #film #TV #animation #music www.youtube.com/watch

So, we tried watching Suits LA episode 2. I have regrets. It was worse than the pilot. If it’s unclear, we will not be continuing the series. If you loved #Suits, do NOT try to watch this. #TV www.slashfilm.com/1801618/s…

Well, this is annoying. It turns out that the cast of #StargateUniverse found out that the show had been cancelled like everyone else… when the news broke in the media. The #SyFy series was a fantastic new take on the #Stargate formula that deserved better. #TV #scifi www.slashfilm.com/1795353/s…
