Now, Red is getting his day in the sun. At a Pokemon event in Tokyo on Saturday, we saw the first official announcement of a new anime based on the original game starring Red called Pokemon: The Origin.

Because there wasn’t much news this weekend, here’s the teaser trailer for Season Three of Sherlock. It doesn’t tell us anything new but all your favourites are in it so I’d imagine that you’d be kinda interested to see it if you haven’t watched it a couple of dozen times already.

Supernatural to Get a Spin-off

Yesterday’s Supernatural panel at the San Diego Comic Con had an exciting piece of news for fans of the long-running WB/CW series. A spin-off series is currently in development at The CW.

The current plan is to introduce a new character who would serve as an anchor for this new series in or around episode 20 of Supernatural’s current season. That episode would effectively be a backdoor pilot to this spin-off.

How Man Of Steel Should Have Ended

I quite enjoyed Man of Steel. It hit enough of the usual comic book lore moments while still having its own unique story elements to set it apart from the typical DC Comics lore. It was also a pretty good summer blockbuster popcorn movie at the same time.

However, it wasn’t perfect. I thought the end fight could have lost 15 to 30 minutes without hurting the movies. Fortunately for me, the gang from HISHE kind of agree with that.
