The second season was a jumbled mess. I thought I was watching a different show with the same cast halfway through.

The Official Trailer For New Predator Film, Prey


Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, Prey is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior.
She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people.

The prey she stalks, and ultimately confronts, turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.

 

What? A Predator film(besides the original of course) that looks good!?

Love the creative time concept in this one in taking back centuries.

 

Am I wrong for feeling disappointed that Tom Swift is a gay character? I don’t have a problem with gay people. They should be able to do and be anything the rest of can. Without exception. End of story.

But, I feel like straight black males, who have supported the sci-fi/fantasy genres (and often ostracized in the black community for it) for decades, have been given nothing back in return. We’re aloud to be the villain, sidekick, father figure, young recruit forever in the main white guy’s shadow, the redeemable criminal or gay (there may be a few more, but you get the picture). What we can’t be in those genres is the classic lead. You know? The kind of hero every girl wants and every guy wants to be. No, we are, always, in some way, what society deems as less than then what the heroic white male leads have been. Hell, lately, we are erased altogether and in our stead stands a black woman (probably because black women can be bounced around between various white male leads and hardly anyone, but hardcore racists, bats an eye).

I was so hyped when I saw the trailer for the new Tom Swift show. I vaguely remember the books from when I was a kid and I thought finally, we’re getting a young black male, who isn’t hood, but a bonafide billionaire, tech genius, charismatic, heart throb, adventurer who saves the day. And, on top of it all, even though he isn’t from the streets, he still gets to be “black” with all the swagger that comes with it. This was the kind of show I’d been waiting to see since I was a pre-teen nerd getting teased because I wasn’t into sports, still read comic books and spoke reasonably proper English.

Imagine my surprise when I turned Tom Swift on for the first time, tonight, and realized the show is just another brick in that very high wall of stereotypical portrayals of black men in the sci-fi/fantasy genres.

 

In 'The Celestial Visitor,' from Nancy Drew's second season, Tom Shift was revealed to be gay. The network's decision to develop a spinoff series based on a woefully one-dimensional and uninteresting character was the only thing that surprised me.

 

I don’t watch Nancy Drew so I wasn’t aware that this was a spin-off from her show.

I’m still betting that the new Robin, on Titans, will end up being gay, too.

 

Interesting probably should saved the Conquistadors or Settlers for the actual movie though. Also 300 years ago on the Great Plains? I don't think Europeans had made it that far at all.

 

Spanish conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado explored the Southwest and the Plains in the 16th century. He's known for his discovery of the Grand Canyon.
