A Spore Nerd Corner

I was really looking forward to tonight episode of The Simpsons. I mean you can't get better than putting two classics together like The Simpsons and Lego. Well usually I would have thought that you can't get better but they really managed to mess this one up. Usually I love the voice acting from The Simpsons but for  some reason tonight it felt forced, like they didn't have any feeling. I don't know how adding Lego to the show would change voice acting of a show that has been around as long as The Simpsons but hey, their you go. The animation in this episode was terrible. With all the Lego work being done, between the games, the movies, and the millions of shorts all over the place, to mess up the animation, making it so choppy, is just wrong and really can't be ignored. For a 550 special episode I'm really disappointing, and hope that when The Simpsons get to episode 600 they actually do it right.

Tonight Fox premiered its new take on the story of the headless horseman, Sleepy Hollow.  The story takes place in now, with Ichabod Crane being brought back to life to help solve an ancient mystery from his own time. Along with him the Headless horseman comes back and goes on a killing spree. Witches, magic, demons all of which Ichobod and Lt. Abbie Mills, a local police officer, are going to have to face to stop the  Apocalypse. For a first episode I actually enjoyed myself. The hour just flew by. The acting was good and the story moved along nicely. The one thing that bugged me is as the show goes along suddenly the horseman goes from wielding a magic axe to suddenly having a pump action shotgun and an assault rifle. In a show with magic, demons and all sorts of crazy stuff going on you could have just left it with the axe, assault weapons is just kinda weird. The show has a lot of potential, for both good and bad, and I'll be tuning in for the next episode. Sleepy Holl...
