Well I guess it is time for another update on what is going on what my future plans for this blog are. Please take note to the tags of this post because those are just some of the topics I will be covering today.
Bite Me v.7:
This story is officially indefinitely postpone for now. I have not written much on it for months and I had plan to start back posting chapters in July of this year. I have enough done to go at least nine weeks but I want the story completed before I post any more and I have lost interest in it at the moment. Therefore until I say otherwise, this story is over.
The Wicca Trap:
This is another idea I have tried to make work for a few years and like Bite Me it is heavily fantasy based but unlike Bite Me it has a hidden Christian Message I hope becomes clear after I start posting it. It focuses on the dangers of practicing witchcraft and what it could lead to. And I won't reveal more details than that.
Dallas Season Reviews:
I have started season 5 and will review it when I get done and any season after that will come when I purchase and view them. I don't know when that will be but when I can it will get done.
Season Premieres:
Some of the same shows that I review the season finales for will get season premiere reviews as well. When I get exact dates I will update the schedule to include them when we get closer to time of the premieres. This goes for several series premieres that I will be looking at such as the Flash and Girl Meets World which is this week.
Well that is all I have for now. Another update will be coming soon more than likely. Oh and my little sister is having a baby real soon and I am so excited to be an uncle again.

The Original Dallas Series Season 4 Review
Well I just finished watching Season 4 of the original Dallas. But before I give my thoughts on the season I won't say that late last month marked one year of having this blog and over the course of this year I have over 160 posts. I don't think that's too bad. Well Happy Late Anniversary to all of my loyal readers who just love my ramblings. And I promise you there will be more to come real soon. Now on to the review.
Perhaps I should note that this season did not get off to a good start due to the SAG strike that occurred at that time. Now I was just a mere little boy and did not know what was going on at the time and didn't care I guess. And my family didn't start watching the show until years later so I haven't really seen these early seasons until now. That being said this strike definitely didn't help with the start of the season because when it did begin everyone was watching to find out who shot J.R. Ewing only to find out that the revelation will not occur until episode 4. And for the record I do know that it was Sue Ellen's little sister Kristen who did it.
This show at the time continues to be in my opinion not a soap opera but a serialized family drama. Now or they not the same thing you ask. No they are not. I don't see families watching shows like "Young and the Restless," or "Days of Our Lives," or "General Hospital." No it isn't a Soap Opera yet or as the more proper term for is called "Primetime Soap." It's not there yet. The episodes look to me to still be self-contained with the occasional two-part episodes. There are indeed storylines that carry over from episode to episode but most of the storylines are solved by the end of the season with one or two cliff-hangers for the next. I know at some point it gets to where an episode will end with a freeze frame and the very next episode will pick up from that point and move forward. But when that happens while I'm viewing these seasons I will make a note about it in my blog.
Did I enjoy this season? Yes. Did I like Bobby Ewing running the company? Yes. Am I looking forward to watching Season 5? Yes. And as far as the storylines go it was really all a matter of solving one little problem that occurred the previous season which almost caused another but fortunately for J.R. it didn't.
Well that is all I have to say so until next time. Oh and I will also be reviewing the first episode of "Girl Meets World" when it premiers on the Disney Channel.
