The Lair of the Pterobat: April 2013
http://pterobat.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 21, 2013. TMNT "Random" Reviews: "Curse of the Evil Eye". Fred Wolf Episode #10. Written by Martin Pasko. Directed by Bill Wolf. Original Air Date: October 31st, 1988. All right, now for something different. No, really: it's obvious by now that I'm writing about my favourite FW Baxter Stockman episodes first, but it's just what I felt like doing. I'll get to FW Splinter and the 4Kids series eventually, which I will discuss the absolute best version of Baxter Stockman. This also relates to a...

The Lair of the Pterobat: Was the Zentradi Alliance Self-Destructive?: Part 2
http://pterobat.blogspot.com/2013/10/was-zentradi-alliance-self-destructive.html
Friday, October 11, 2013. Was the Zentradi Alliance Self-Destructive? All right, the flip side: if Zentradi aren’t inherently dangerous to humans, what about the other way around? While "warrior races" are common in science fiction, the Zentradi are different from that norm. Fictional warrior cultures tend to have developed societies alongside their war-making, as well as codes of glory and honour. Zentradi, in contrast, have nothing but their military. Again from Aaron Sketchley:. However, their languag...

The Lair of the Pterobat: Here's Johnny (Again)
http://pterobat.blogspot.com/2013/10/heres-johnny-again.html
Monday, October 7, 2013. Http:/ www.salon.com/2013/10/01/what stanley kubrick got wrong about the shining/. The novel "Doctor Sleep" has been published: it's Stephen King's sequel to "The Shining". That’s the reason that Salon has asked him again about Stanely Kubrick’s film adaptation of the book, an adaptation which King still dislikes, mostly because he disagrees with its interpretation of the characters. That is not to say one can’t dislike adaptations, just that “wrongness” really ...Just because Ku...

The Lair of the Pterobat: October 2013
http://pterobat.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 29, 2013. Kitaro started life as a character from Japanese folklore, portrayed in the kamishibai picture plays. The manga started out as the slightly darker “Graveyard Kitaro” before being changed to the friendlier title, with some of the early manga stories recycled into later tales. The interjection “Ge! Stories include Kitaro being injected with cryptid blood and becoming a giant hairy kaiju; a vampire and an ox yokai attacking the same prey and winding up a dead ball of hair; Kitaro ...

The Lair of the Pterobat: January 2013
http://pterobat.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2013. Animation Appreciation: Neon Genesis Evangelion/End of Evangelion. This series is still my number one anime, animated series, and television show. Even though it's been a decade since I finished the series, I'm always ready to wax eloquent about Neon Genesis Evangelion. Because I'm older and now swimming in notions of what makes good writing, I better understand the series's structural problems, but that doesn't change a thing. These things make up for Evangelion. Has suffered...

The Lair of the Pterobat: May 2013
http://pterobat.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 25, 2013. Why Do I Write Fanfiction? Sometimes, I write fanfiction. Off and on. I’ll go through a dry spell of months or even years, and then the urge hits me again. It might go away when I go pro, it might not. I don’t hate myself for doing it at all, though for me it’s become a more private activity since the early 2000s. Such an accepted part of my landscape that I can’t imagine them not existing. However, my interests in these things whittled away, until I only wanted to deal with offic...

The Lair of the Pterobat: Was the Zentradi Alliance Self-Destructive?: Part 1
http://pterobat.blogspot.com/2013/09/was-zentradi-alliance-self-destructive.html
Saturday, September 21, 2013. Was the Zentradi Alliance Self-Destructive? Super Dimension Fortress Macross. Zentradi are a race of giant alien warriors, genetically identical to humans and capable of being reduced to human size. They function as proxy forces for the unseen and extinct “Protoculture” race; there are no civilians and the sexes work separately for the same military goals. 1 The rebellions of allied Zentradi become intense and enough that the alliance becomes philosophically invalid. Viewers...

The Lair of the Pterobat: Not An End
http://pterobat.blogspot.com/2013/11/not-end.html
Sunday, November 24, 2013. I know I’ve addressed most of this before, but I wanted to say it again. For the past couple years, my blogging output has shrunk to almost nothing. Which I felt a wee bit self-conscious about, and made note of, but not enough to change it or go on hiatus. Now, these days, while I still have all these geeky thoughts, I don't feel motivated to put 'em down on paper, at even the slow rate I've been doing it. November 24, 2013 at 7:14 PM.

The Lair of the Pterobat: August 2013
http://pterobat.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 12, 2013. Some thoughts on a minor TMNT Nicktoons spoiler, about the character I've been talking about for a while:. Http:/ pterobat.tumblr.com/post/58036776807/in-which-i-talk-way-too-much-about-a-minor-spoiler. Friday, August 2, 2013. A few weeks ago, and I loved it. Appreciation for the film has also been coming back to me in a weird sort of boomerang effect. I love it even more now than I did at first. Feels, above all else,. To make, and even the most undiscerning audience can sense w...
