I finished watching two different series the over the past week: Total Recall 2070 and Gargoyles.

While it took awhile to gain momentum, and the female characters were kind of dull, Total Recall 2070 was still pretty good and it did justice to the themes of Philip K. Dick's stories. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled after a single season just when it was starting to find its footing.

7.5/10

In regard to Gargoyles, well, I have absolutely nothing really bad to say about it. The writing was consistently good and the casting was perfect. If I have anything negative to say about it, it's that the main storyarc of the second season dragged a bit. Of course, the positive far outweighs the negative.

Of course, I didn't bother watching the third and final season beyond the first episode, as I've heard the show just degenerates into a cheap Saturday morning cartoon from there.

9.5/10

I'm now trying to finish rewatching Batman: The Animated Series. I began rewatching the show way back in the winter, but I largely pushed it to the side to make way for other TV shows and movies I felt needed to be watched/rewatched first. Having decided to get through it and get it over with, I've started to watch the remaining episodes with earnest and I'm now almost finished the first season; just seventeen episodes or so more to go and then I can start on the second season.

Once I've finished watching the second season, though, I'm not going to bother with the episodes that were made after the series was relaunched with new character designs. I never watched those episodes as a kid, therefore I feel no pressing need to watch them, and from what I've seen of the show's entire overhauled look from the crossover with Superman: The Animated Series and various clips and screencaps I've looked at, I know I just wouldn't like it.
