![]() Yes, Scrappy hasn't exactly been forgotten entirely, but why not bring him back in a way that shows love for the character and what he could be, instead of having him play the villain or an embarrassing footnote? Doing that would offer something with a lot more going for it than a throwaway joke, and it would certainly age more gracefully than whatever was going on at the end of that first live action movie, even if there is a certain amount of absurd humor in the fact that Rowan Atkinson once played Scooby's nephew (there has been worst casting, somewhere). That cameo Scrappy had in Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated was during a scene full of cameos to faces from past Scooby-Doo adventures. The second live action movie Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed ( written by James Gunn) even centered its entire plot around a Mystery Inc looking back on their early days after years of successful mystery solving had made them something of local legends in their hometown of Coolsville. Old monsters have been referenced or made reappearances. More recently, various Scooby-Doo media has been as nostalgic for staples from Scooby-Doo history as the fans who watch it. The writers could even have the puppy finally learn to see his uncle more realistically still looking up to the older dog, but not outright worshipping him, or thinking that he is much more brave and heroic than he really is.īut the question remains why? Why go to all the effort to bring back a character that the people behind more recent Scooby-Doo media seem happy to leave in the past? The answer is that Scooby-Doo has always been a franchise which embraces its past, even as newer shows attempt to move on from it and shake things up for newer audiences. Velma would probably have a lot of fun teaching the young animal, and you just know that Daphne would have her own things to teach Scrappy about problem solving. Imagine Fred cooking up plans with the young dog, happy to be working with someone he doesn't have to bribe with food in order to help carry out one of his elaborate plans. Having Scrappy around would even be a good excuse for the writers to show him interacting with the other members of the gang besides Shaggy and Scooby. ![]() He could then become a Scrappy who is still eager to face obstacles and adversaries rather than run from them, but maybe with a bit of thought put into how he does it It could even be a fun way to show Scooby taking on more responsibility, and having to force himself to be a bit braver for Scrappy's sake. In his first few episodes the writers could have the character show up exactly as he has always been, and learn that it isn't smart to run headlong into danger. ![]() Both these qualities would be perfect for giving him his own character arcs within a new show. Scrappy-Doo is remembered for two main things his constant attempts to pick a fight with the ghosts, monsters, and other strange things the gang comes across, and his unending admiration for his uncle Scooby. RELATED: Scooby-Doo's Blair Witch Parody Went Way Harder Than Anyone Expected ![]() If the character was brought back as a semi-returning character who had a couple of multi-episode story arcs, it would allow the writers to explore new ground with him while keeping elements of the original version, without running the risk of him overstaying his welcome and putting audiences off the character all over again. His whole shtick can easily get grating after a while, and even if it didn't, there are only so many places you can go with the whole "puppy almost ruins the plan by trying to pick a fight with the ghost" angle. From the late seventies, to the mid eighties, he shared top billing in the Scooby-Doo cartoons with his uncle Scooby, and was featured as prominently as the franchise's titular character. But as much as Scrappy has been hated on over the years, it might finally be time to welcome the character back into the franchise, and see if he can be done right.Īs a character, Scrappy-Doo could be obnoxious, but his main problem was he was used too often. Even that was kinder to Scooby's nephew than how he was treated in the first live action Scooby-Doo movie: being turned into a villain who wanted to use Scooby for his own ends. When the infamous puppy made a cameo in Scooby: Doo Mystery Incorporated he was treated as a painful memory for Fred. It's safe to say that Scrappy-Doo has not been remembered fondly, at least not by the various people behind the more recent iterations of the Scooby-Doo franchise.

Even if that’s not why it’s called Level 2.) (Memory aid: for Level 2, think Level 240 volts. These are called Level 2 chargers because they need to be plugged into a 240-volt outlet. Some of these supplied chargers are powerful and can fully recharge your EV overnight. In some cases, the same manufacturer provides different standard charging equipment depending on which of its EV offerings you purchase or lease. (This thick cable that plugs into a wall outlet and the car counts as a charger.) However, every manufacturer provides a different unit, with varying levels of charging capabilities. Tom Moloughneyĭo You Need to Buy an EV Charger When One Comes Free?Įvery electric car comes standard with a portable charger. Cables left on the ground sooner or later get run over. Note the cables are all coiled and hung up. Some automaker-supplied cables can charge at 240 volts. Using 120 volts at 12 amps, it could be 43 to 72 hours. They recharge a smaller battery (60 kWh) in 5.5 to 16 hours, a larger 100-kWh in 9 to 26.5 hours. Popular sizes of 240-volt chargers deliver 16, 32, 40 or 48 amps of power. Here’s a look at key aspects of choosing the right charging equipment, installing it properly and best practices for using EV charging equipment at home. ![]() Electric vehicles have different charging capabilities and requirements and every owner also has their own driving needs. With EV charging, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. If an EV is the only car, for long summer or holiday trip, owners can do what owners of compact gasoline-powered sedans may do: Rent a midsize or larger SUV for that two-week vacation. Or find a hotel with on-site charging.įor those who charge at home, you need to have the right charging equipment, and the proper electrical supply. Range and charging time may be less of an issue if an EV is the second car. Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX) Home Charging Study But 80% of charging is done at home, according to the JD Power U.S. Some use public charging, which means you do have to wait on the car. They top off every night or two, and as long as the car is charged in the morning, charging time doesn’t matter and range anxiety isn’t an issue for daily driving. But empty-to-full charging is not what EV owners do most of the time. With a gas-engine car, most owners drive until it’s low on fuel because gas stations are everywhere and gassing up is a quick stop. Clearing Up the Range-Anxiety Misconception The more you know, the clearer it becomes that the unique aspects of EVs aren’t automatic disqualifiers. Here’s what you need to know about buying, installing and using the right EV charger.

But in the long run, it's the vocals that get you Review: Eddie Vedder's Innings Fest set was a ukulele-smashing triumph - complete with guest stars Joe Walsh was a blast. Henley also dusted off his solo hit “The Boys of Summer.” And Walsh did three non-Eagles songs - the James Gang hit “Funk #49,” the epic talk-box showcase “Rocky Mountain Way” and “Life’s Been Good” - in addition to taking a turn in the spotlight on two Eagles songs - the “Hotel California” ballad “Pretty Maids All in a Row” and “In the City,” one of four songs from “The Long Run.” The orchestra returned on two second-half highlights - "Take it to the Limit" and a gorgeous "Desperado." history, having overtaken Michael Jackson's "Thriller."įrey’s son Deacon, who joined the band in 2017, left to pursue his own solo career in 2022, but Henley brought him out as a surprise guest after opening the second set with “Seven Bridges Road” to take the spotlight on two early hits his father used to sing.Īt the end of "Peaceful Easy Feeling," a photograph of Glenn Frey filled the screen above the stage. That may have been a slight exaggeration, but they did come back from intermission with a second set that went on for an hour and 45 minutes and included every single on “Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975),” an album destined to remain the biggest-selling album in U.S. “That concludes the ‘Hotel California’ portion of the show,” Henley said, with a smile, “because albums were only 40 minutes long back then.”Īfter taking a beat to introduce “some very important people up here on the stage that are making all this happen,” including members of the Phoenix Metro Orchestra and Solis, Choir of the Sun, he promised they’d be back to “play everything else we know.” Several songs featured a symphony orchestra conducted by their old pal Jim Ed Norman, who supplied the string arrangements on three Eagles albums, not the least of which was “Hotel California.”Ī choir emerged in matching robes to join the orchestra in underscoring Henley’s plaintive vocal on “The Last Resort,” the song that brings the album to a stately finish.ĭifferent Drum: How a pop song written by one of the Monkees made Linda Ronstadt a star Following 'Hotel California' with 'Their Greatest Hits' and more ![]() Smith did a heroic job of duplicating the guitar licks and entire solos that defined so many of the Eagles greatest hits in a lineup that now features three extremely talented guitarists in Smith, Walsh and Gill. Crago on drums and percussion Steuart Smith on guitar, mandolin and backing vocals Will Hollis on keyboards, synths and backing vocals and Michael Thompson on piano, keys, accordion and backing vocals. Their ranks were further fleshed out by four touring members: Scott F. Schmit (whose first appearance on an Eagles album was just after “Hotel California”) were joined by country star Vince Gill, who signed on in 2017 after the death of founding member Glenn Frey. Henley, Walsh and longtime member Timothy B. The whole album has held up amazingly well, from the killer guitar riff Walsh brought to the party on "Life in the Fast Lane" to the bittersweet yacht-rock of "New Kid in Town," the soulful balladry of “Wasted Time" and the majesty of “Pretty Maids All in a Row.”Īnd the Eagles that returned to downtown Phoenix on Wednesday, March 1, for a sold-out show at Footprint Center made that album come alive in concert.Įagles flashback: The Eagles honor Glenn Frey's memory in a hit-filled set while welcoming new members The Eagles were joined by a symphony orchestra It’s the album that welcomed Joe Walsh to the table, expanding the scope of their sound even further than "One of These Nights." The title track remains their greatest hit, an epic guitar solo tagged at the end of a wounded morality play about a hedonistic culture in a hell of its own making. It’s their crowning achievement, a 26-times-platinum masterstroke. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why “Hotel California” is the album the Eagles have taken to revisiting in its entirety these past few years. ![]() View Gallery: Eagles 'Hotel California' Tour in Phoenix: A photo gallery ![]() And oh yeah, there’s also Epic Universe, the third gate coming to Universal Orlando in 2025. The new Minions experience is set to open later this year. Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast is also currently under construction, taking over the space of the former Shrek 4D theater, another longstanding attraction. In addition to Poseidon’s Fury closing down at Islands of Adventure, the KidZone at Universal Studios Florida is also closed, making way for some sort of new attraction coming to that space. ![]() Universal Orlando Resort is in the middle of one of the most extensive updates that we’ve seen from a single resort in a long time. It was also one of the very last attractions to reopen after the global pandemic closure of the park, so while the show has been around for a long time, it hasn’t been as available to guests as recently. Poseidon’s Fury just underwent a brief refurbishment a few weeks ago. While it’s not necessarily a shock to see an attraction like this close its doors, it perhaps is a bit more surprising with this particular one at this moment. Considering how attaching theme park attractions to existing content has only become more important in recent years, it seems all but certain that whatever replaces this one will not be an original story. The other thing that made Poseidon’s Fury stand out is that it’s one of the few attractions in the park that is a completely original story that is not based on a previously existing IP. While the story of Poseidon’s Fury would change over the attraction’s lifetime, it has been around in one form or another since the very beginning and there are absolutely going to be fans who will be sorry to see this one go. Poseidon’s Fury was a somewhat unique attraction as it wasn’t a ride or a stage show but a sort of combination of the two, where guests walked through the attraction, going through a live tour led by an "archeologist." Various supernatural happenings would occur over the course of the tour. ![]() UPNT broke the news that Universal Orlando team members were informed this morning of the closure, Universal Orlando has since confirmed the closure, and says Poseidon’s Fury will be closing to make way for new entertainment, though exactly what that could be is anybody’s guess at this point. ![]() Simply, connect the adapter to your TV, Chromecast dongle, and router, and you’re all set!Įliminate video buffering caused by a weak wireless signal and enjoy a data transmission rate of up to 480Mbps with backward compatibility (almost 5x Fast Ethernet speed). If you have a Chromecast Gen 1, Gen 2, or Audio, consider the Cable Matters Micro USB to Ethernet Adapter, which is slightly cheaper at £16!

It’s just that simple.Ĭable Matters Micro USB to Ethernet Adapter Finally, wire in an Ethernet cable into the port and connect the other end into your Wi-Fi router. Next, connect a USB cable from the plug to the Chromecast device – exactly as before. Out of the box, simply replace the existing power plug with the adaptor version. Don’t worry, we have another solution below! So if you have another model, it won’t work. The Google Ethernet adaptor only works with Chromecast Ultra or Chromecast with Google TV according to their own instructions. It costs £20 and the price includes free delivery. You do you, but I’m sticking with the Chromecast and Google’s official Ethernet adapter.Google sell their own solution, which is in the form of a UK plug that has an Ethernet port and a USB port, allowing you to quickly get set up. Plus, you’ll have a disgusting mess of cables behind your TV from this setup. It has a stronger processor that just handles sideloaded apps better. Sure, it’ll work, but any reasons you want these extra ports is going to be something better handled by the Shield anyway. The new Chromecast is for simple streaming and not much more. ![]() Personally, I’d say it’s worthwhile to pony up for a Shield TV if you really want Ethernet and some USB ports. You can also hook up a webcam to use with Google Duo! USB accessories such as flash drives can expand your storage (which is handy given the 4GB allotted) and you can even attach a mouse or keyboard. Once you’ve got a USB-C hub hooked up, you can really start using the Chromecast to the full. A Redditor who managed to buy a Chromecast early also found that a USB-C hub worked with a 60W power brick. That collection of products costs more than the Chromecast does, though. I used an Anker USB-C hub, a UGREEN Ethernet adapter, and a 36W power adapter from RAVPower. ![]() Your results may vary depending on the hub you’re using, though.įor me, I had the hardware laying around the house to get the Chromecast working with a USB-C hub. In both cases, the Chromecast “boots” only to show an error message that it’s not getting enough power. The stock power brick going through a USB-C hub just won’t cut it in my testing and neither will the 18W power brick Google includes with its Pixel phones. USB hubs work with Chromecast if there’s enough power. USB-C hubs for laptops, though, usually has passthrough power, so that should work on Chromecast, right? You can’t just go buy a USB-C to Ethernet adapter or a USB-C to USB adapter to add peripherals because there would be no power headed to the device. On the Chromecast, there’s technically not, but the biggest roadblock comes from power. In theory, there’s nothing that should stop a USB-C hub from working with an Android device. The good news? Chromecast works with USB hubs. To do that, you’ll need more ports, though. This time around, it’s running on an Android operating system that opens up just how far you can push the streamer. Google’s latest Chromecast isn’t as basic as its predecessors. ![]() The Latest Version of 2.23.0 Available for download. com.ea.game.pegglex_row.apk apps can be downloaded and installed on Android 4.1.x and higher Android devices.

His theory at this point is that she has another boyfriend. She said yes at first, even said that she couldn’t wait, but as the day got closer and closer, she stopped talking to him and his phone calls went straight to voicemail. It was Traves’s brother’s wedding and he invited Candy to be his date. We also learn a little bit more about how he made plans to meet her in Vegas. Traves says he told Candy he wants something serious and wants to have children soon. We see a few text messages from Candy saying that she can’t wait to a start a life with him, that he’s all she needs, how happy they’re going to be, etc. After a joke about Traves wanting to do some body work on Candy, Nev gets serious and asks what kinds of conversations he and Candy have about being a couple. They arrive at Traves’s work, which is a garage where they specialize in German cars and body work. We should just call this episode, ‘Catfish: Wake The F*** Up!’ I have never felt more needed. “I have never wanted to help someone more. ![]() They hang up with Traves after making plans to meet with him at work, and now that he’s alone with Max, Nev talks about how he really feels. But a girl named Candy Red from Vegas that’s asking you for money to pay her bills just doesn’t sound good.” ![]() Sometimes people’s blind optimism on this show astounds me, and that’s definitely how I’m feeling at this point in the show. Nev asks what her dreams are, and when Traves replies, “She wants to become a successful model,” I had some real concerns that Nev’s eyes were going to roll right out of his head.Ĭandy is literally checking all of the catfish boxes, and still, Traves says he thinks she is somebody he could marry. Traves also reveals that Candy has asked him for money a few times to help cover her bills, and though he hasn’t had the money to give to her when she’s needed it, he has promised her that if he did he would help her because he supports her trying to reach her dreams. Traves says, “Yeah, I started having some doubts when I went to Vegas to go see her and she just stopped talking to me.” Isn’t that a little suspicious? You must have some doubts.” Nev seems super skeptical and asks, “Traves. Traves explains that he and Candy text thousands of times a week, but whenever they talk on the phone it’s very, very brief and he feels like she’s trying to get off the phone. They keep showing these pictures of Candy in a teeny tiny bikini, and at this point, I’m waiting for the barely veiled “Richard Pic” question Nev is famous for asking, but it doesn’t come. They catch him while he’s at work at a garage, and Nev asks him why he’s so hooked on this girl from Las Vegas when he’s a good looking, successful man and he could be dating women in LA! He says he’s very picky and Candy just knows all the right things to say to keep him interested. Nev and Max video call Traves to see what’s up. These are all major red flags for a potential catfish. ![]() Traves says he’s trying to stay patient and to take things at her pace, but he’s starting to feel like they aren’t getting anywhere that way. They continue reading and Traves tells them things got serious between him and Candy when they started text messaging back and forth, and that he’s been thinking about inviting her to live with him in LA to take away some of her burdens, but he thinks she might be hiding something because she won’t meet up or video chat. Sounds totally legit, right? Max made a good point, though, when he said it’s Vegas and that it could be her stage name. They have an email from Traves (pronounced Travis) titled How much time should I give her ? Traves explains he lives in LA and met a woman who lives in Las Vegas two years ago on a dating site. Max collapses into his seat in front of the laptop, and they get down to business. Max seems to struggle a bit, crashing into the wall, and Nev comes out the victor. He quickly takes advantage of that though, by challenging Max to a race around the office on a pair of scooters. This week’s Catfish begins at Catfish Headquarters where Nev is lamenting at the fact that he and Max are the only ones there because it’s Sunday morning. |
