A Most Ingenious Parrot-Ox

Sticking It to Bowser
I’ve been playing Paper Mario: Sticker Star for over a week now. This one seems not to be all that popular among fans, for several reasons. This is the fourth game in the Paper Mario series, and the first for a … Continue reading →

The Babysitter Murders
I don’t like to do two movie review posts in a row, but since Halloween is over now, I might as well get this out as soon as I can. There are spoilers for the whole Halloween series, but hopefully … Continue reading →
Continuity Begins at Home
One thing I’ve noticed about continuity is how many people don’t really care about it. Another is that people who DO care tend to care a LOT. There was a panel at OzCon, in which I was one of the … Continue reading →

So You’ve Ruined Your Life
I’ve written before about the floating timeline and the problem with recent flashback episodes for The Simpsons. Last night, we had another rather confusing flashback that contradicted just about everything that had been previously established. Okay, maybe it wasn’t THAT … Continue reading →

Warping Through Continuity
While there is an official Zelda timelime, there still isn’t one for the Mario series, which makes sense as they don’t really focus on story. Fans certainly have tried to come up with one, however, and have made some clever … Continue reading →

Everything But the Kitchen Sink in Oz
It often seems to be the case that people who read Oz books by authors other than L. Frank Baum when they were young accept them as official, while those who read them later are a little more wary of … Continue reading →

Fans Aren’t Always Cool
This post of SamuraiFrog’s led me to this article on how fans’ opinions differ from those of the creators, and what happens when fans take over franchises. There isn’t any real clear answer as to which products are the best; … Continue reading →
Welcome to the Crossover of Tomorrow!
When I did a post a few days ago on a Disney Afternoon crossover that involved characters who presumably don’t exist in the same continuity, I had forgotten that a Simpsons/Futurama crossover was being aired on Sunday. The Simpsons has … Continue reading →
