James Faraci The Last Of The Americans

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci, The Last Of The Americans and the views I’m about to express are that of my own & some of yours and Welcome to another edition of “In Defense Of…”(Show pics of maligned pieces of pop culture while the fanfare from the Olympics play and James comes up after Vanilla Ice slides back and his right-hand thumbs up and the words “In Defense Of…” before cutting to the Intro of “The Man Show” during Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla’s Tenure then clips of “The Man Show” as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.):
Ah Yes, The Man Show fitting as by the time this is posted it’ll be Valentine’s Day a day for men who are single to complain the most, drink the most, and curse the most at women, and nowadays when being a man has started to go the way of the Dodo again, we need something like this again. But to understand the hows and whys this show was a success and why it needs to come back we need to figure out why it was a success, why it did as well as it did and why it needs to be defended from a culture that has become to pussified. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
So let’s grab a beer, drop your pants, send the wife and kids to France, Quit your job, Light a fart, Yank your favorite Private Part, Be at a place where men can come together, look at the cans on a girl named Heather, Watch Bouncy Girls on Trampolines and loosen your Blue Jeans because it’s time for “The Man Show”!

It’s time to defend being a man! Join me here

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours and welcome to a new editorial segment that allows me the opportunity to express some theories I have called “Connect The Plots” (Cut to a scene of James trying to connect certain things together like the theatrical version of “Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers” & “Halloween: H20”, All the movie adaptations of Stephen King, Superman Returns to the original Salkind Superman movies, the first three X-Men movies to the newer ones and the “Wolverine” & “Deadpool” movies before cutting to James strapped down in a straight jacket all the while a kid sings “Connect The Plots La-La-La!” before panning down to see anything that might have a minor connection spell the words “Connect The Plots” before cutting to every single movie, cartoon and TV Series and every bit of minutia featuring “Superman” as the John Williams “Superman Theme” plays in the foreground and James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
As a fan of Superman, I took a lot of time this year to check out anything and everything involving the man of steel. I’m talking comic books, cartoons, movies, videos of Let’s Play featuring Superman. You name something that had Superman in it and I checked it out!

(Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
But one thing I noticed was two tv series in particular that while remembered have been forgotten by time. The Alexander and Ilya Salkind produced “Superboy” series and “Lois and Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman”

What connection did I find between “The Adventures Of Superboy” and “Lois & Clark The New Adventures Of Superman”? Find out here

TLOTA:
I’d really like you to be there, my brother is competing in this Super Chef Battle and not only would he like to meet you, so would the rest of the family before my sister moves to Florida. Have you ever seen the show? Here’s the Intro to it (James pulls out his Tablet and puts on it the intro as it cuts to the Intro of “Super Chefs” as Ed Champion, Andrew Beach, Renee Miller, Eric Kurtzke, Olivia Horvath dress up like Chefs prepping food while Rebecca & Nick Yaun, Brenda Fonseca, John & Mike Santos dressed like “Iron Chef” knockoffs prepping food as an announcer played by James does a voiceover)

Announcer (Voiceover):
After 45 minutes of competition their dishes, they must face the judges. (Cut to the Judges table as James Sullivan, James Daniel Walsh, Marcella DiPasqualle and Taylor Huff sample dishes)
Judge #1 (Played by Taylor Huff):
The flavor and the texture are there but something lacking in terms of heat.
Judge #2 (Played by James Sullivan):
It was a little too gluey for my palate. There was something there and you ruined it.
Judge #3 (Played by Marcella DiPasqualle):
I found it amazing that you were able to turn this humble ingredient to haute cuisine
Judge #4 (Played by James Daniel Walsh):
You found the right secondary ingredients to highlight the theme ingredient to culinary nirvana! (Cut to even more clips of everyone cooking before we see the head of “Super Chef” Carlos De La Vega De La Alejandro De La Cueto Ramon played by Paulo Fonseca)

Julia Alexa Miller:
James, I said I’d be there and yes, I want to meet and get along with your family, I’d just figure it’d be a little more something traditional like at Thanksgiving Dinner.
TLOTA:
I’d love for that to happen but again sister moving to Florida and everything else this maybe the only chance for my family to say… (James opens the spare closet) Well this is a surprise!
Julia Alexa Miller:
James, they know me, they’re not gonna be surprised.
TLOTA:
No Alex, I mean what I’m looking at in the closet, THAT is a surprise… to me.

Who or what surprised me and Alex? Find out here

TLOTA:
WOW! (Cut to a flaming Iris with the words “The Last Of The Americans” in the text used in “Supernatural” before cutting to James in his office)

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. You know it’s amazing when the same group of people makes one amazingly awesome series but when they make two back to back, You can capture lightning in a bottle and that’s amazing. (Cut to the Opening of WitchHaven before cutting to clips of the series as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
“WitchHaven” has the same creativity, energy, writing and great acting as “Life As A Mermaid” has and it’s no surprise why that is. The reason being both shows are produced by the same production company Validus Productions and what I like the most is how it uses the right tropes from a Supernatural Detective Series flip and twist them and give us something new and unique.

Will watching “WitchHaven” be worth it? Find out here

The Maven Of The Eventide:
Goooood Evening! I am Ze Maven Of Ze Eventide and Welcome to “Vampire Reviews” (Cut to the intro card of “Maven Of The Eventide Vampire Reviews” before cutting back to “The Maven Of The Eventide”) Tonight! I finally finish up my look at the “Blade” movies series with Blade Trinity. (A Pair of familiar looking sunglasses land perfectly in The Maven’s hand) Hmm, they’re black but these don’t look bad ass! (The Maven puts on the Sunglasses) WOW! What the… “Browser history”?!
TLOTA (Off-Screen):
WHOOPS! Meant to erase that! (A sonic screwdriver’s hum is heard before the tech in the sunglasses are shot and The Maven takes off the glasses just before they spark, and the tech is shot)
The Maven Of The Eventide:
Okay, who did that?
TLOTA (Off-Screen):
Over here! (The Camera pans to see James Faraci The Last Of The Americans)
TLOTA:
Hi! (Cut to The Maven Of The Eventide)
The Maven Of The Eventide:
MOTHER F… (Cut to a flaming Iris with the words “The Last Of The Americans” in the text used in “Supernatural” before cutting to James in The Maven Of The Eventide’s boudoir as things are being tossed and slamming noises are in the background as James sits in his chair ducking as some things go flying)
TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that we’re about to express are that of our own and some of yours! (The Maven Of The Eventide returns in a huff to her seat)
The Maven Of The Eventide:
Why the hell are you here?

Join The Maven Of The Eventide and I discuss which cut of Blade Trinity is the best

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. Can you believe that 25 years ago on August 28th 1993 I saw that preview episode that changed the way Superhero teams and Superhero shows could be done? (Cut to 25 years worth of Power Rangers as James does a voice over)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers mixed Sentai Footage and fresh American Footage of teens and young adults portraying the multi-colored morph suited superheroes incognito. The seasons varied in quality of the series between production teams from the heights of the Saban Era post the Mighty Morphin era with “Power Rangers Zeo” all the way through “Power Rangers Time Force” to the bipolarity of the Disney Era when the best seasons they had were “Power Rangers Dino Thunder”, “Power Rangers SPD”, “Power Rangers Mystic Force” & “Power Rangers: RPM” and the worst being “Power Rangers Operation Overdrive” and to lesser extents “Power Rangers: Wild Force” & “Power Rangers: Jungle Fury” to the way too out there of the short lived Neo-Saban Era which included “Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai”, “Power Rangers Megaforce/Super Megaforce”, “Power Rangers Dino Charge/Dino Supercharge” and it’s last series “Power Rangers Ninja Steel/Super Ninja Steel” which has me wondering what will happen in the Hasbro era. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:And even crazier in quality of the few anniversary crossovers. (Cut to clips of “Forever Red”, “Once A Ranger” & “Legendary Battle” as James does voiceovers)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
“Forever Red” is considered the pinnacle of these crossovers not because of the action. That was just a small part of it. The episode promised us all the Red Rangers with the only two red ranger actors not being in there was Steve Cardenas who I met at the Hudson Valley Comic-Con back in April of this year who was in the middle of moving to a new place and didn’t apprise the higher-ups of his new address and phone number and David Bacon the actor for the Red Alien Ranger Aurico. What made the episode awesome was a sense of all these Red Rangers coming together to stop a remnant threat that had it not been stopped then and there would’ve been a threat though the ending of it being Cole putting the Kibosh on Serpentera and the fact that writer Amit Bhaumik used his fan-fic “Scorpion Reign” as a part of canonicity which took a friend of mine out of enjoying it. Then there is “Once A Ranger” This one just sucked. Between the veteran team and the non existent time between them and the Operation Overdrive Rangers, though admittedly the less time around Dax and the other Operation Overdrive Rangers may have kept the Veterans from killing the Operation Overdrive Rangers and taking the Operation Overdrive powers from them. Then there’s “Legendary Battle” and this was the main reaction that the fans had when they looked at it (Cut to Clip of Tom Servo, Joel Robinson and Crow in the MST3K episode “Attack Of The Eye Creatures” as they shout “THEY JUST DIDN’T CARE!” before cutting to James)

TLOTA:
And now as the 25th anniversary has come now we find ourselves with a special that just… you know it’s been a month and I still don’t know what to think of it!

Where will this Power Rangers team up end up? As awesome as “Forever Red” or will it make me pine for “Once A Ranger” or “Legendary Battle”? Find out here

Rebecca Yaun:
James, you seeing… (Cut to James looking out of the window sill)

TLOTA:
Chai Hansen from “Mako Mermaids” doing a War Haka outside the studio? Yep (Cut to Chai doing a War Haka outside of James’ studio before cutting to Rebecca, Nick and James)

Rebecca Yaun:

Should we do something

TLOTA:
Hmm? Oh yeah you guys prepare if you want. Me, I’m gonna relax, let him get this out of his system and if he does attack, I’ll worry! (A Loud Explosion rocks the studio) OKAY Now, I’m worried! (Another Loud Explosion rocks the studio as it cuts to Chai as he prepares another concussive water blast when a sonic sound emits off screen that destabilizes the water and soaks him)

TLOTA (Audio only):
Maybe that’ll cool you off! (Cut to James.)

TLOTA:
Now if you can, let’s talk about what is wrong between us like rational, reasonable adults or you can go right ahead and attack each other like we were Ren & Stimpy! (Cut to Chai)

Chai:
You’ve dishonored the franchise I was a part of with your honesty and now I shall reclaim the honor you have dishonored by dishonorably dishonor you with my honorable honor! (Chai places his right arm out as he summons The Trident from Mako Mermaids) Recognize it? You should! The same Trident! Anything to say before you meet your fate, Faraci! (A voice off screen says “Well, I’ve got one thing to say…. “HONOR!” is shouted, before cutting to James as he ducks and a gigantic fireball is thrown and Chai is sent flying before cutting to James who then turns to see Dante Basco from such projects like “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “Hook” comes in all decked out in full on out Zuko gear before cutting to James)

TLOTA:
DANTE BASCO?! (Cut to Dante as he walks towards James)

Dante Basco:
James’ honor comes from his honesty! To lie would be a dishonor. His honest and honorable words are why you are out of line Chai and why you must be stopped! (Cut to Chai as he lands and shakes off the fireball.)

Chai:
Silly Firebender, WATER SMOTHERS FIRE! (A Gigantic water ball is set to launch when the water ball is sent upwards and comes down as gentle rain before cutting to James and Dante)

TLOTA:
Wow, who did that?

Dante Basco:
A friend. (Cut to Chai as he prepares another water ball when he starts to do self slapstick!)

Chai:
Whatever you’re doing Basco, you better stop! (Cut to James and Dante)

Dante Basco:
I’m not doing anything! She is. (Dante moves slightly to his right to see a fully decked out Mae Whitman as Katara performing the bloodbending techniques as the look of “Pants Darkened to Black” comes to James, Dante and Chai as Chai continues to smack the daylights out of himself in the background)

TLOTA:
Uh Mae, it’s not that I’m not grateful you’re helping, I’m just gonna ask you nicely to let him go before you twist him like a pretzel. (Cut to Mae Whitman as she lets Chai go)

Mae Whitman (Sweetly):
Okay. (Cut to Chai as falls then shakes the cobwebs out of himself)

Chai:
I don’t know why you two are siding but you shall join James in his fate. (Cut to James, Dante and Mae)

Dante Basco:
You know, that’s not a bad idea. Mae when I say Honor hit the flame with everything you’ve got!

Mae Whitman:
You got it Dante! (Dante prepares to ignite and Mae begins to draw water from the air as does Chai and Dante shouts “HONOR” as the three connect as a thick fog is made and James emerges from the fog grabbing Chai and groaning like Curly from The Three Stooges, eye pokes Chai and runs away to his ride and drives out of there before cutting to James in his ride)

TLOTA:
What in the hell did I say or do? (Cut to clips of both H2O & Mako as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
I didn’t hate “H2O: Just Add Water” or “Mako Mermaids”, I made it clear when I talked about the series last summer in the retrospective. There was a lot to like. Some of it was just straight up fun and some of it was very thought provoking and entertaining. There were enjoyable episodes in both series and since I might as well talk about some of my favorite episodes. Five from “H2O” and Five from “Mako” and as is the way with these lists the spoilers will happen. (A knocking sound is heard before cutting to James in his ride before looking at the rear mirror to see Chai charges up a massive water ball before cutting to James)

TLOTA:
This can’t be good! (Cut to the water ball hitting the back bumper of James’ ride as it zooms away and James screams)

TLOTA (Audio only):
THESE ARE THE TOP TEN EPISODES OF “H2O: JUST ADD WATER” & “MAKO MERMAIDS”!

Brace yourselves for a Top 10 that will take me to the limits

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. Around this time last year, I was eyeball deep into two shows about mermaids, the island they call their home and enough to deal with from both series that I nearly drowned working on a Summer Retrospective for both of them! (Cut to opening credit of “H2O: Just Add Water” & “Mako Mermaids” before cutting to clips of both series as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA(Voiceover):
“H2O: Just Add Water” & it’s sequel series “Mako Mermaids” for the most part both series were entertaining. A lot of the episodes were good for the most part, the stories were engaging for the most part, the characters were well developed for the most part, and it is enjoyable for the most part. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Yeah, might as well get to what made everything go south in both franchises, the last season of “Mako Mermaids”. (Cut to clips of the last season of Mako Mermaids as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
Acting wise everything was fine and while there were moments where characters didn’t act sane or for that matter there was one character that drove me out of my marbles, Weilan played by Linda Ngo! In one of her first scenes in the first episode of the last season is that of her taking a selfie of her and Poseidon in Rita’s Grotto and a few scenes later she has to talk seriously about a dragon that killed an entire pod of mermaids and I am supposed to take her seriously? HA! Try picking up the Titanic with Tweezers! Then came the moments that caused a character’s development to come to a crash. I am of course talking about Evie’s Screwjob in the mid-point of this season! They had tried to correct it in the follow-up episode but failed to do so properly eventually causing the character of Evie played by Gemma Forsyth to just to give up and that derailment sent me over the top then came the two part finale after mainly a season of missteps, filler episodes and a storyline which was meant to be the main one but got pushed aside for stupidity I thought they’d fix all the problems but it didn’t. In the two part finale, Rikki Chadwick played by Cariba Heine returns as an explorer that finds treasure. One piece that comes to the attention is the Bracelet of the Jiao Long Dragon. They quickly and correctly assume that Rikki is in fact a mermaid who like Evie got her powers from the moon pool. While it was nice to know that in the second half of this two-parter that she was able to say that yes “Mako Mermaids” & “H2O: Just Add Water” were in the same continuous universe it also opened up a whopper of a plot hole, possibly bigger than the one that was outside of Jupiter a few years back and that season ended not with a bang, whimper, shrug or even a Pfft, this season ended with one dying gasp as Rikki is invited to the pod by Weilan, Mimmi and Ondina, Evie’s Screwjob is never rectified, Zac, Mimmi and Nerissa who was transformed into the Dragon that destroyed Weilan’s pod and is Zac’s biological mom and Mimmi’s mom so do the math is restored and the three go on a trip to reconnect and we find out that everything that went wrong in this season was all because of BLIND, STINKING, SIMPLE, DOO-DAH, CLUELESSLY BAD LUCK! I refer everyone to Linkara and his complete mental breakdown in his 500th episode. (Cut to clip of Linkara’s Mental Breakdown in the 500th episode of “Atop The Fourth Wall” before cutting to James physically)

TLOTA:
Yeah, I went off about as much as Linkara did in that case and it was justified.

(Cut to clips of the last season of Mako Mermaids as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):

Because quite honestly this season was so bad I came up with an entire section in my retrospective entitled “How I would’ve written it” which shows how I would’ve done both series properly, in my opinion. But since what did happen in that last season was so bad. Jonathan Shiff announced that a movie was going to happen. It was also around that time that a new children’s network “Universal Kids” came to be and they’ve picked up “Mako Mermaids” after Disney decided for some unknown reason not to show seasons 2 & 3 and please note like in the retrospective I only see season 2 as it is known on the Mako Mermaids Wikipedia page which is 26 episodes for season 2 and not the first half of the season which is how Netflix here in the states and the second half as season 3 and with season 3 being season 4 here in the States. But I digress, I had hoped this movie would happen soon to quickly satiate fans. One day I looked in the Guide section of my cable box and I saw a ninety minute section with the title “Mako Mermaids” and I thought this was going to be the movie Shiff promised aaaand…

What does this movie if it comes out need to succeed? Find out here

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. With the recent passing of Margot Kidder and of course it being Superman’s 80th birthday, a lot of people have been talking about something that needs to be de-mystified. The “Curse Of Superman”!

The Nostalgia Kid:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. Can you believe that Superman is EIGHTY FRICKIN’ YEARS OLD?! (Cut to different clips of Superman in all his incarnations as the John Williams’ Superman Theme and The Nostalgia Kid does a voiceover)
The Nostalgia Kid (Voiceover):
And while he is mainly revered he’s also been the butt of far too many jokes. Some being about how he’s too old fashioned, he’s too powerful and of course if it were not for the standards and practices of networks I’m willing to believe they would’ve put every “Fire Island”/ “San Francisco” joke onto Superman in the “Superfriends” cartoons. Fortunately, in 1978 father and son duo Alexander and Ilya Salkind brought the renaissance of Superman with the first Christopher Reeve Movie under the direction of Richard Donner. However, during production, The Salkinds and Pierre Spengler were at odds with Richard Donner and he was promptly fired while trying to finish “Superman II”. I went over both The Donner and Lester Cuts a while ago so check out my feelings about the two. (Cut to The Nostalgia Kid dressed as James as James Faraci The Last Of The Americans)
The Nostalgia Kid:
But what bridged the greatness of the first two movies and the crap we in the online community have had to deal with is…

Superman III!
