I've felt the feeling a thousand times before, but it has been a while and lately I had it again which made for the perfect refresher for me to write this article. With Borderline Personality Disorder, a lot of times, at least for me, you can feel like you're trying to hold onto lightning in a bottle. You want to grasp everything and hold it tight, never letting it slip away the slightest else you fear losing it completely. This is an awful feeling, and it's one that I dealt with constantly, and still do on a time to time basis. Worrying is the stem of this, the root that makes your mind run rampant with thoughts and "what if" situations that leave you scrambling to feel secure. In these moments, it can suddenly feel like whatever relationship you have with someone is lightning in a bottle and its on the verge of escaping. You'll try to get ass

(Cisco on the run from a serial killer) (Image Source) There is a lot to unpack with this week's episode! More exploration of Caitiln's story, the battle with Cicada, the introduction of a new Wells, and Ralph finally using his powers for the first time this season! That isn't the whole of it, so lets quickly dive in! The episode opens with the child version of Nora visiting the Flash Museum in the future, which was awesome to finally see on the show if only for a glimpse! There were lots a great easter eggs to spot, such as Thinker's chair, Weather Wizard's wand, the iron mask that Zolomon kept on Jay Garrick, as well as costumes for Zoom, Trickster, and Savitar. On a short tangent, I just want to mention that it would be the perfect cliffhanger for Nora to return to the future at the end of the season and visit the museum only to find a new villain cataloged that wasn't there previously and that villain would be the villain for season 6! Back on

(Issa being welcomed to the family, but for only one episode) (Image Source) It took me a little while but I'm finally getting to my review of the second episode of Black Lightning's sophomore run. I've been a bit busy lately, with school and the sort, but it has given me more time to think about the episode and let it sit...and truthfully, I haven't thought about it a lot. It wasn't because I was busy, because my mind is also thinking about what I've been recently interested in such as Flash's latest episode, the upcoming Fantastic Beasts movie, and the upcoming toy events at the end of the month; I think I wasn't thinking about the episode just because there wasn't much to think about. There is some stuff I would like to cover though for the sake of reviewing, but there was one part of the episode that really irritated me and if you've read my previous reviews you know what it will be about. To start off things off, it felt like the s

NECA is a company that I hold in high esteem and has rarely ever let me down, and when I use the word "rarely" I truly mean rarely. When it comes down to it, I'm only ever let down when a figure that I want doesn't get made, the quality of the figures are outstanding and every figure from them looks beautiful with the combined efforts of paint and sculpt. Obviously, all this means that there are figures I'm looking forward to seeing and ones that I want to pop up in the lines that NECA has the rights too. These are the top 5 NECA products I'd like to see get made. 5. Godzilla villains Previously, NECA was firm in that their Godzilla line could only touch upon Godzilla and none of his foes; however, a recent tweet from them seemed to announce that they can product figures of his enemies now as well. This opens the door up to dozens of potential figures, from Baragon to Gigan to King Ghidorah. All would be a welcome addition to the NECA Godzilla shelf, a

(Cicada looking eerie)  (Image Source) It's has been a week since the last episode of Flash and so that means another episode crossed the small screen and pushed us further into season 5 and its story, and whoo, this season sure feels like it is moving fast! There is a ton to unload from this episode, from the obvious furthering of Cicada and Caitlin's stories, to other things such as Nora, Cecil, and Cisco's side stories. With no time to waste, here is my review of the second episode of Flash's season 5! This episode felt smaller than the last (the one before this was the season premier so no real surprise) but it was still a really fun time, and this episode seemed to make a point that this season would be much different than the others. Outright, Nora confesses to everyone that she isn't really stuck in the past and shows them all the future newspaper about Barry vanishing for good so that they're all on the same page. No more secrets seems to be a g

Droids are one of the biggest parts of the Star Wars franchise and especially the toyline, with most displays having some kind of droid resting within them, and nearly every frame of the movies being littered with droids. That being said, the Black Series has a surprisingly scant level of droids in their line. Only a handful of astromech droids, K2, L3, BB-8, IG-88, 4-LOM, and the interrogation droid are thus far really the only droids that have been in the line, and looking at my display and thinking about the recent reveals of 000 and BT-1 got me wondering more than ever where all the droids in this line were. More so, it got me thinking which droids I want to see going forward. 5. 8D8 Jabba's palace is a place I've had a fascination with ever since I was a child. I think a large part of that is the constant barrage of aliens and droids that can be seen there, especially the droid torture room where several different droids can be seen. The one that stood out to me a l

With the return of CW's superhero shows this fall we also got the electrifying return of Black lightning with a strong start to their second season. The episode hit us fast with several heavy events, and some decent set up for the future of what will transpire on the show. While we so far haven't been given a direct indication of where everything is heading, we can expect that we won't be in for a standard ride. (Image Source) To start off, it looks like the beginning of each episode will have a fancy title card sequence that adds a lot of flare to the show, especially since the episodes always have really elongated and elaborate titles that obviously have work put into them. It's a nice touch to set it apart from other shows on the CW. Boy, what a start. A lot of stuff went down and I'm not sure where to start, I guess with the negatives because it can only get better from there! My only real complaint deals with the fight scene between Cynanide and the vi

It's finally back! After a long wait The Flash has returned for season five for what is in my opinion one of their strongest season premiers. We had the introduction of Nora Allen, a tease for Cicada, and the laying of footwork of other storylines such as the mystery of Caitlin's father. With the beginning of a new season, there is a lot to go over and a lot to absorb, and these are my thoughts on the first episode of CW's Flash's season 5, entitled "Nora". (Image Source) The infectious energy that is Nora Allen already sets her as one of the best new characters the show has ever introduced. Eager, energetic, and full of enthusiasm, Nora was the center point of the first episode and likely the season as a whole as we and the other characters got to know her. The episode started and ended with her giving the narration rather than Barry which was a surprise and a fresh deviation, one we'll have to wait and see if it continues. With her she brought ple

Marvel Studios has managed to make the most successful interconnected universe of cinematic movies ever, and 10 years of planning has culminated in the recent Avengers: Infinity War. Between all the hype for this event, there have been the questions about what will come next and what the franchise will be like after Thanos' story. Well, several movies have already been confirmed for Phase 4 of the Marvel universe; which will start after next year's "Captain Marvel" and the untitled "Avengers 4". Out of all those projects, these are the ones I'm most looking forward to seeing. Black Panther 2 I found the first Black Panther movie largely enjoyable. Killmonger I thought was a great villain, Shuri and the rest of the supporting cast were fun, and the concept of Wakanda was well realized. I wasn't hyped for the movie, I didn't flock to theaters to see it, I waited until it came on dvd and then borrowed it from a friend. I was pleasantly

Kanto is no doubt the most popular region in the Pokemon franchise and because of this it is the primary focus of the Mega Construx line of Pokemon figures that have been on shelves for the past year. That makes hoping for Kanto Pokemon easier to do since they'll more than likely be coming out sooner rather than later, and so making a list of my most wanted Kanto Pokemon is a no brainer. While I have made a list for this region before, this one will focus on the 1st evolutions of Pokemon lines since those are the ones that get the most focus with the existence of the Pokeball waves. Without wasting any more time, lets get into my top 10 most wanted Kanto 1st evolution Mega Construx builds! (Image Source) 10. Sandshrew Back before wave 4 of the Pokeballs came out the Mega Construx website listed Sandshrew as being a part of the wave, including a full description of the Pokemon with its own page albeit with the picture of the Pikachu that would eventually be in the wave ins
