Dean (6927 KP) rated DC'S Legends of Tomorrow - Season 1 in TV

Good Sfx (0 more)

Feels very much like a lesser spin off show (0 more)

More average than legendary

Having got into the Arrow and then the Flash series I thought this could be rather good with several characters from each show teaming up. Unfortunately the plot of not using the other shows main characters... They would cause too much of a ripple in the time line, or studio fees... Does raise some questions, but it gets overwhelming with too many characters and feels like it's target audience might be younger than the other shows. Overall it is less than the sum of it's parts.

This was a series that was a spin off of vampire diaries but I feel was so much better. I love the way it ended but not that it ended. This follows the story of the original vampire family and how they became so cruel,also how in a way how they became good again. Thought a little mirical baby names hope, and how in the end why she became an orphan. If you love a good witch, vampire, werewolf fued this is just a must see.

This was a very interesting story. it is apparently the spin-off of another series by Phoebe but you didn't have to read that series to understand this one. Some of the characters I did feel like there was a background I didn't know but it wasn't confusing or interfeering with the story for me. I loved these characters and I loved Paisley because she was a big, strong, amazing woman who had some insecurities and a dark past that Calvin had to fight to get through. He was amazing and strong and wonderful and sexy. I loved this story

Movie Rating

Del Toro's intense action-horror-superhero thrash surpasses the original and slips the hospital pass to every subsequent instalment or spin-off. Terrifying mutant vampires appear, preying on the original kind; the vampire establishment is obliged to recruit Blade to help eliminate the new menace. Tensions inevitably ensue between Blade and his new allies...

Top cast includes various cult action stars, but the success of the film is down to the director's ability to give it both energy and atmosphere by the bucketload. Grips and entertains from start to finish; everything you want from this kind of film.

David McK (3791 KP) rated Invincible (The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier, #2) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

The second book in 'The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier' spin-off from 'The Lost Fleet' series, with most of the same characters (so, in a way, the 7th book in the series).

Whereas the previous book primarily concerned the outbound portion of their mission (to investigate the extent of enigma - aliens discovered in the 'original' series - space), in this the fleet starts its journey home with the novel picking up almost directly from the end of that previous story.

They also don't (yet) make it all the way home - have to leave room for the next entry in the series, after all!

David McK (3791 KP) rated Aliens Omnibus, Vol. 2 in Books

Jan 30, 2019

Collecting the plot arcs of 'Genocide', 'Harvest' and 'Colonial Marines' I'm sorry, but I found this to be a real slog to get through.

Which is a pity, as these stories are (meant to be) a spin-off from still-the-best of the Aliens movie (i.e. the second, the one with an 'S' at the end).

And those aliens themselves - described in the movies as 'the perfect killing machine' - are treated more as cannon fodder than anything else, with these three stories all concentrating on increasingly unlikeable characters in increasing desperate situation.

One for completionists only.

The Salvatore Brothers (0 more)

It's no longer on (0 more)

One of my favourites

Elena Gilbert loses both her parents and from then on her life becomes entangled in vampires, werewolves and witches. It is one of my favourite shows ever. The Salvatore brothers are gorgeous even for blood sucking vampires.
The storylines are always really good and each season has something different to offer.
The characters throughout are fun and you fall in love with their stories and lives.
If you love vampires and supernatural stories this is definitely worth a watch. As is the originals which is a spin off from the show.
