Happy Fourth Day of the Month! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

Happy Saturday, Fourth Day of the Month!

I continue to notice more people choosing not to celebrate the Fourth of July which is why for me it's the Fourth Day of the Month. The former holiday no longer has the meaning it once had. So, today is just a relaxing Saturday where I can think about the day and spend time with my family and friends. Below is a geeky list that features the fourth episode of each season of several shows.

Happy Fourth Day of the Month!

Happy Thanksgiving! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is a day of giving thanks and reflecting on our lives. It's a day to look at the world and see how you can help make it a better place. It's also a day of family, food and relaxation. However you plan to celebrate the day, I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! And for anyone who doesn't celebrate the holiday, I also wish you a very Happy Thursday!

If you're looking for something holiday inspired to watch, I included a fun Geeky Thanksgiving List below. For more Geeky Lists, here are my previous three Thanksgiving lists: (1, 2 and 3).

Quote: Nia Nal and Iris West

Nia: I didn't want to make it a thing, but you're kind of my career role model.

Iris: I am?

Nia: Yeah, I mean, that story you told us about being kidnapped by Cicada and then fighting your way out and writing about it the next day like nothing happened? It still gives me goosebumps.

Entertainment News #17: The Flash season 9 and 9-1-1's 5th Anniversary

- There is a lot of good news being released about the upcoming ninth and final season of The CW's The Flash TV series. Including releasing this really amazing poster, I just love the visuals of the Flash's boots and lightning. But it also makes me wonder whose boots are they? Are they really Barry Allens' or someone elses?

As for the news, it's being reported that Keiynan Lonsdale will be reprising his role as Wally West (a.k.a. Kid Flash). Also guest appearing is David Ramsey reprising his role as John Diggle (from Arrow), Sendhil Ramamurthy as Ramsey Rosso (a.k.a. Bloodwork), Andy Mientus as Hartley Rathaway (a.k.a Pied Piper), Max Adler as Jaco Birch (a.k.a The Hotness), Damion Poitier as Keith Kenyon (a.k.a Goldface), Javicia Leslie as Ryan Wilder (a.k.a Batwoman from Batwoman) and Nicole Maines as Nia Nal (a.k.a. Dreamer from Supergirl which I reported on before in Entertainment News #14).

Entertainment News #14: Henry Cavill, WestWorld, Superman & Lois and Dreamer

- There's an unfortunate update to the Henry Cavill news I posted back in Entertainment News #12. Back then I reported that he left his role as Geralt from the Netflix TV series The Witcher to return to his role as Superman. Well bad news for us Superman fans, Cavill posted a statement (below) on his Instagram account stating that he will no longer be playing Superman. I guess he doesn't fit the new Warner Bros. Discovery executives' plans for their vision of the DC Comics movies. They really should have let him know they changed their minds about his involvement before he quit his job based on what they had initially told him.

It's disappointing because although I had issues with his performance in Man of Steel (it felt like he was told or directed to be as wooden as possible), but it was so much better in Batman v Superman and Justice League. Here's hoping that the next role Cavill gets will be something that's really amazing.

Quote: The Flash and Iris West

The Flash: I'm sorry I wasn't there for you today. It couldn't be helped.

Iris West: It's okay. A girl's gotta be her own hero every now and again.

Entertainment News #10: Power Rangers, Barry and Iris and The CW

- A fun little Power Rangers announcement by actors David Yost and Walter Emanuel Jones for the upcoming 30th Anniversary of Power Rangers. I can't wait to see what their involvement will be in the celebration. Are they going to be in an episode of upcoming Power Rangers Cosmic Fury TV series or something else? Too bad I have to wait until next year to find out.

A reminder to any of my fellow Power Ranger fans, the episodes for the second half of the second season of Dino Fury have already premiered on Netflix.

Entertainment News #8: Cancelled Shows, Shelved Movies and a Show Ending

- Netflix cancels the TV series First Kill after one season. I believe one of the reasons why Netflix keeps losing subscribers is due to the company constantly cancelling TV series. Viewers are not going to continue investing their time into series if the company can't be bothered to do the same. And they barely promoted this show before it premiered.

I don't like how now of days, networks and streaming services do the bare minimum when it comes to promoting shows and then expect fans and viewers to watch something they didn't know existed. Or networks and streaming services expect fans to do the promotion for them which is a lazy approach to marketing. It's disappointing this series was cancelled because it actually was rather interesting and I had hoped it would get another season to really delve more into the story.

Happy National Coffee Day! (+ a Geeky TV and Movie List)

I may not be a fan of coffee (I'm a tea drinker) but there are a lot who are and that includes many of my family, friends and Book Girl readers. So while you're sitting in your favorite spot and celebrating the day with a hot cup of coffee, I hope you're taking your time to enjoy every sip along with a yummy pastry.

Happy National Coffee Day! Below is a coffee themed Geeky TV and Movie List to enjoy as well.

I've been thinking of rewatching The Flash, I absolutely love the evolution of Iris West. She went from being an inquisitive aspiring journalist to becoming a very important member of Team Flash. I also love seeing Iris and Barry Allen's relationship grow from friendship to them falling in love. I wish their wedding could get a do over after it was ruined by Felicity and Oliver. Aside from that romantic moment being ruined, they have a very beautiful and loving relationship.

I'm so excited to see tonight's season finale of The Flash, anyone else going to tune in tonight? For anyone who doesn't know, the show is on at 8:00 pm on The CW network.

Quote: Candice Patton

"The impact of Iris being cast as a black woman is so monumental, and I think the effects of that will last for a very long time. People from this generation, and on, will remember Iris West as an African-American woman, and that’s a very powerful thing. She’s a wonderful character, who is so strong and determined and loving and all of the things you respect in a woman. And so often we don’t see black women portrayed in that way on screen."

I didn't watch last night's Arrowverse crossover episode of The Flash (but there's a reason)

Last night, I made a point of not going online or on social media or even talking to my friends (yeah I know extreme) because I didn't want to be spoiled about the Arrowverse 'Elseworlds' crossover because I didn't watch The Flash. However, I did record it on the DVR and I'm also going to tape Arrow and Supergirl. Since I didn't feel like watching each episode separately, I decided to tape and watch them later at one time.

So hopefully, since I have to go online and occasionally social media as well as talking to my friends,  I will continue to avoid seeing or hearing any spoilers because I'm really looking forward to seeing this.

Teaser Trailer for the Arrowverse Crossover "Elseworlds"

The CW recently released a teaser trailer for the upcoming Arrowverse crossover "Elseworlds" and it looks really interesting.

I guess the three part story will center around a sort of Freaky Friday magical switcheroo along with dealing with some sort of alternate universe situation. And not to mention it will include Lois Lane, two Supermen, Batwoman, the Kent Farm from the Smallville TV series and John Wesley Shipp as an alternate universe Flash wearing his 1990s Flash TV series costume. Even with all of this, I'm sure there will still be a few surprises in store and now I really can't wait to watch it. 

As a reminder, the crossover starts Sunday, Dec. 9th with The Flash at 8 PM. Continuing with Arrow on Monday, Dec. 10th at 8 PM and ending with Supergirl on Tuesday, Dec. 11th at 8 PM.
