Fandom Friday: Random Fandom Thoughts #17: Maddie and Chim, The Mob, Cyberchase and The Batman


It's Friday, what fandom thoughts are on your mind?

- 9-1-1 fans are really happy right now with the announcement that the fan favorite characters Maddie Buckley and Howard "Chimney" Han are returning to the remainder of the fifth season of the show. Maddie had been dealing with Postpartum Depression and she had left Los Angeles because she didn't think her daughter Jee-Yun was safe with her. Chimney along with their daughter Jee-Yun left town to try to find her and the last time Chim was shown was in the seventh episode Ghost Stories where he was in Boston and ran into an old friend, Eli Cobb.

Jennifer Love Hewitt who plays Maddie had been on maternity leave but the actress has now returned and is currently already back to filming. The return of Hewitt also mean Kenneth Choi will finally be making his return back to the series. I'm surprised the show's marketing and promotion teams aren't trying to take advantage of all this fan excitement by releasing a promotion of the return of Chimney and Maddie.

- Something I always wished was either shown at the end of Step Up 4: Revolution or at the beginning of Step Up 5: All In was the Nike commercial that The Mob made. The fact that they were hired to do a national (if not international) commercial for a top brand showed that their hard work had worked out for them. Which is why I wish the movie had included the commercial and if they didn't want to show it in the movie then it should have been included as a special feature on one of the DVDs. It was such a missed opportunity not to have created the commercial for the fans.

- It's the 20th Anniversary of the Cyberchase animated series which originally premiered January 21, 2002 on PBS. The show which is both educational and action-adventure follows Jackie, Inez and Matt, three kids from the real world, who go to the digital world of Cyberspace to work with Digit in order to help Motherboard stop the villain The Hacker and his minions Buzz and Delete from trying to take over Cyberspace. Over the years, this show has taught viewers about math, science, the environment and more as they solved problems in order to foil The Hacker's plans. Happy 20th Anniversary Cyberchase!






- It's being reported that the upcoming run time for The Batman movie will be 2 hours and 55 minutes which isn't too bad when compared to Zack Snyder's Justice League movie that's 4 hours and 2 minutes. The Batman run time is still pretty long especially if you're sitting in a theatre watching it instead of watching it at home.
