After numerous appearances in various Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series and a failed attempt at a show based on his futuristic spin-off (which I covered once before) it looks like the wandering ronin rabbit is finally getting his own series. No wait, it’s another descendant, just closer to the original’s timeline. Why is it so hard to get an actual cartoon of the original comic? Does Stan Sakai not want it or do these creators not realize how popular the comic is?

Today NBCUniversal launched their new streaming service, Peacock. (The name comes from NBC’s long-running bird mascot in their logo.) I rarely get to talk about a new streaming service. They’re either totally subscription based like Disney+ or been around for a long time by the time I hear of it. Last night I just found out about a retro anime service called Retrocrush, part of a series of websites that hosts translated TV and movies from Japan, China, and Korea and I literally just learned about Popcornflix a minute ago. There are so many more streaming sites out there that we don’t know about.
So getting to talk about a new service on launch day is a bit new for me. I want to do a follow-up video once I’ve had more time to play with it but here are my initial thoughts and so far, as the title of this article indicates, it hasn’t exactly gone off without a hitch. There are a few issues that need to be addressed but overall, it’s not terrible.

I’ve had this one in the daily quick post queue for too long. Time to finally post it.

Chapter By Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.
It didn’t take long for the Doctor and his crew to find a mystery AND get in trouble with the authorities. This is not the Doctor most of you out there knows, who immediately takes charge and everyone around him slowly falls into line, even if he might get in trouble later. (I don’t know if that’s true for the current Doctor, though from the few episodes I saw it’s not likely.) This isn’t even the one who stands up to blowhard jerks who clearly shouldn’t be in charge. Heck, some of the commanders the first Doctor meets are almost competent and have good reason not to immediately trust a strange old man and the average people he travels with.
Right now the Doctor and Barbara have been arrested, leaving a mystery behind for Ian and Susan. How will this all work out? Let’s see what chapter two tells us.
