The 10 Moments everyone liked in 2015 about James Faraci The Last Of The Americans

(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it then cutting to James in his chair)

TLOTA: I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I'm about to express are that of my own and some of yours. Well 2015 is all but done and I've got the five moments you liked and the five moments I liked and now... (James pulls out his Megaforce Morpher and takes out his statistic card created by Stevie Swigart and becomes James Faraci)

James Faraci: It's time to countdown the ten moments everyone liked in 2015 about James Faraci The Last Of The Americans!

(A Hand pulling a card designed by Stevie Swigart with the statistics of James Faraci The Last Of The Americans while putting it into the Megaforce Morpher from the 0:00-0:03 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run. 0:04 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators shows James Faraci morphing into James Faraci The Last Of The Americans with his Black Tee-Shirt with the American flag on it, Blue Jeans and Tan Work boots until 0:07 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run as scene cuts to James stocking up on his arsenal from the Classic Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Morpher, a bandoleer stocked up with Sonic Screwdrivers, Ammunition for a 303 British Rifle and said rifle, The Ring Of Aeon, The Gem From the Gauntlet Malachite’s Hand, Emmalina’s amulet and the Sword Of Caliverti from 0:08-0:15 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators. 0:15-0:29 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run shows James leaping and running through moments from the 2014 calendar year of his reviews ranging from James getting hit with an uppercut by Trina Mason to James punching Dr. Plotsz, to Paulo & Rebecca Fonseca saying Groovy, to James and Rowdy running into the Happy Madison crowd, to James’ eyes turning white with blue streaks of lightning coming out of them, to James taking on the wicked then culminating in the moment when Lea Michele reveals herself to be a vampire and zooming into James’ screaming mouth until 0:30 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators shows when James right hand comes out of the dark holding a sonic screwdriver then cuts over to a slab of titanium where lasers cut out “The Last Of The Americans” until 0:36 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run when James lands on top of the slab while doing a heroic pose with Paulo Fonseca, John & Mike Santos and The Rowdy Reviewer on his right and Rebecca Fonseca, Renee Miller and Eric Kurtzke on his left doing their own heroic poses on a black background the 0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans" with the words"The Top ten moments" and underneath "The Last Of The Americans" is "Of 2015" then the camera zooms to the backside of the slab with the number and James doing a voiceover the clip.)

James Faraci (Voiceover): Number ten

10) The "Charlie's Angels Full Throttle" review

James Faraci (Voiceover): This was actually possibly my least favorite review I've ever done. "Why is that?" you may ask because it lacked a lot of the fun I usually try to infuse in my reviews. Now don't get me wrong, watching me and my team getting whipped like government mules by WWE Superstar "Sheamus" was fun to come up, for me it just felt like your everyday average review and for me, I'm not average I want to be able to be entertaining and the matter of the fact is that I came off boring made me put it at the bottom of the list.

(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it then the camera zooms to the backside of the slab with the number and James doing a voiceover the clip.)

James Faraci (Voice over): Number nine

9) Every single last negative reaction I had to "Gigli"

James Faraci (Voiceover): Trust me, I wish I put this higher but with so many great moments that happened later on in the year I knew one of my favorites had to be put elsewhere. Do I wish it was higher? Yes! But trust me I got to a dark place. Much darker than I usually would be a part of and it showed in the Humor. Especially with how I reacted to one VERY Bad joke. That joke was so bad I felt about unleashing my rage through laughter based insanity and wanting to kill rapists and men who think abusing women is a good thing. Everything went so dark I HAD TO HAD TO break character and come up with an ad saying what I had to really feel about the subject and I had to promote both The Joyful Heart Foundation and The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network to even things out. But there were a few good funny moments that weren't as dark like when Paulo Fonseca and his sister Rebecca tried to put my character out of his misery or when I downed two 2 liter bottles of Tequila and Coca Cola. Especially since I have Asperger's Syndrome and I actually have only drank alcohol ONCE! It was a sip of white wine in Maine but as far as I'm concerned Me + Asperger's Syndrome + Alcohol= ONE BAD IDEA!

James Faraci (Voice over): Number eight

8) The "Willow" Review
James Faraci (Voiceover): What made it list worthy for me at least was Two things. One) The humor, I laughed my butt off from the jokes I got to make about the movie. Most of them came from riffs I thought about when I watched the movie and the fear induced pooping is definitely how I felt when I saw when the rebellion against Queen Bavmorda being transformed to Porcine! But the other reason was that this review was a changing of times. I kind of had no idea where to take my fictitious relationship with my alter-ego and not cause real world problems which is why I started a storyline that I was able to Subtlety put in that led to my final "Channel Awesome" crossover event which I heard people call "The Government tries to kill the Reviewerverse" storyline.

James Faraci (Voiceover): Number Seven

7) The "In Defense Of The Dukes Of Hazzard & General Lee" episode
James Faraci (Voiceover): I am really, REALLY glad I got this out while it was somewhat relevant.
Okay, confession time I really had only two ideas in the pot for an "In Defense Of" episode. Both of them I did one on a guilty pleasure "Armageddon" & the other happening to be my thoughts on The Ewoks from the Star Wars Franchise. But when I heard about the controversy that took one of my favorite shows off the air, I knew The Dukes needed defending and I would be on the side of the people defending it like my blood brother Chris Lee Moore and my fellow Rowdyc.com contributor: Bobcat Joe. But having said what I said meant the world to me as a Yankee who happens to love such a harmless & wholesome show about a family south of the Mason Dixon line.

(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it then the camera zooms to the backside of the slab with the number and James doing a voiceover the clip.)

James Faraci (Voiceover): Number six

6) The Different Cuts
James Faraci (Voiceover): I actually created this segment to kind of be my own version of "Old Vs. New" and with certain advents in movie making especially when it comes to certain movies. I knew about certain different cuts of movies that could come from it. Though admittedly I had to rush the first one, that of course being Ben Affleck's "Daredevil" movie to beat The Nostalgia Critic's review because I didn't want to get second place on something like this. But to me I found the right way to do it right the second time around with "Superman II" both the Lester & Donner cuts and now I got it perfected and everyone liked it and for that I thank everyone who enjoy me having to deal with me watching two movies at the same time and analyzing them in as much detail I can in both cuts of the same movie.

(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it then the camera zooms to the backside of the slab with the number and James doing a voiceover the clip.)


James Faraci (Voiceover): Number five

5) The Interview Review


James Faraci (Voiceover): This was my first review after my final Channel Awesome Crossover "The End Of Mankind" and my character had just re-written the time line so that his relationship with Lea Michele never happened and I needed for my character to do a movie that could get him out of his funk. THANK GOD for "The Interview" because around this time last year it garnered a 55 Gallon Keg's worth of controversy and I decided to check it out on Netflix when it came to that service and boy did I get enough material. But I needed another crack-pot reason why the leader of North Korea wanted to attack and I thought of the only thought that could be as ridiculous as wanting to see a movie taken off the big screen and my first immediate thought was "Duck Dynasty" and I worked out the details of everything and I just knew people would love my review and it for me is one of my finest reviews ever!

James Faraci (Voiceover): Number Four

4)The "Josie & The Pussycats" review

James Faraci (Voiceover): This was THE one I knew I first reviewed before I actually became "The Last Of The Americans" or for that matter an Internet Reviewer. Because I knew it was bad but the jokes I could make out how far from subtle it is and seeing as how there was a certain other movie that was an adaptation of a certain animated kids series that lasted only TWO WEEKS in theaters that was coming out around the same time my review for it was just serendipitous timing on my part to talk about a movie which was similarly as bad but for a whole lot of different reasons. Plus I was able to introduce Eliza Dushku and Traci Hines to my audience in a fun way and I felt it would also be a great tie-in to my October review.

(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it then the camera zooms to the backside of the slab with the number and James doing a voiceover the clip.)

James Faraci (Voiceover): Number three

3) The Crossover with The Rowdy Reviewer on the "Fox Kids" programming block.


James Faraci (Voiceover): A bit of a confession. My blood brother and best friend "The Rowdy Reviewer" Chris Lee Moore wanted to do like a "Monster Madness" or "Disneycember" with "The Disney Afternoon" but that was torpedoed by Doug Walker A.K.A.The Nostalgia Critic as he did a forty-four minute review of the entire enchilada! Feeling bad for my buddy, I decided to come up with a review of a rival and I hoped he would've wanted in. Thankfully he said yes and while it wasn't every series in the "Fox Kids" line-up, it was for me fun especially since it re-introduced someone from my first run on Myspace, John Ross Santos, and introduced my other friends Eric Neil Kurtzke, Renee Miller and John's brother Mike who would've been introduced along with Paulo Fonseca and his sister as well but the reformatting of Myspace happened but that is in the past. But this review was so great it had to be in the top three for me and for everyone who liked both the "Fox Kids" and this review.

(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it then the camera zooms to the backside of the slab with the number and James doing a voiceover the clip.)

James Faraci (Voiceover): Number two

2) "The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn: Part Two" review.

James Faraci (Voiceover): I knew making this, I HAD to be on my A-Game with the writing of not only my review of it but also the story and the humor in it and it worked. My favorite moments was the whole cold opening and the "Blazing Saddles" -esque brawl after my reaction to the twist in the movie's ending and I had to remember from my first time watching it what my reaction was to it and of course the CGI abomination that was Renesmee when she was an infant! But to me the moment I knew I had done great was when I posted it and sent the link to Paul "Paw Dugan" Schuler himself for his and his wife Eliza Hansen-Schuler's wedding anniversary and "Paw" thought it was great! Also a side note, prior to the review Rebecca Fonseca did NOT leave. She got married to her husband and I have since credited her by her married name Rebecca Yaun. So from this moment forward, Rebecca is married and not even the loneliest person on this planet stands a chance. So deal with it!

James Faraci (Voiceover): And THE Number one moment everyone liked in 2015 about The Last of The Americans is...

1) The Top Ten Best & Worst seasons lists of "Power Rangers"

James Faraci (Voiceover): I knew going into this countdown that these two were going to top the list of favorite moments. But here's a little something people might have known or realized I actually liked "Wild Force", "Turbo", "Lost Galaxy", "Jungle Fury"& "MMPR Season 3". I put "Samurai/Super Samurai" & "Megaforce/Super Megaforce" on because I knew people would've killed me if I did. As a matter of fact I really had it out for "Ninja Storm", "The MMPR Star Wars Special Edition season" and the worst season of all "Power Rangers Operation Overdrive". It was unfortunately I needed filler for the list and those seasons after re-watching them they weren't as good as I remembered them but they in no way are the worst seasons. But I also needed to be reminded that with my actions come consequences. Thank goodness the actors who played the Power Rangers have a great sense of humor and I was able to have them get what they felt was their rightful justification to have my backside on a platter and if you noticed it was me that got the brunt of everyone's attacks, not my team, not anyone else. It was all on me. Even though my team was willing to go for it, I made it so I had to handle it on my own! But for me, it was worth it. I got everything right and in the end both of the lists are two of my best works in 2015. (Cut to ending of "The Top Ten BEST seasons of Power Rangers" List that has Rebecca Yaun ranting like Rita Repulsa while James does a voiceover trying to sound like Rita Repulsa before cutting to James physically.)

James Faraci: So that was the Top Ten moments everyone liked about "James Faraci The Last Of The Americans" in 2015. What lies ahead for James Faraci "The Last Of The Americans"? Well.... (Cut to rough clips of  reviews James is planning in 2016 and The American Gladiators 1994 Theme plays in the background while James does a voiceover)

James Faraci (Voiceover): Coming soon in 2016 expect more great reviews and more great Top Ten countdowns and wait there's more!  The first three reviews I ever did on Myspace that led me to making my character a reviewer. A great crossover with The Rowdy Reviewer & The Nostalgia Kid on a special movie based on a TV series that connects all of us Internet Reviewers. And coming this January all the way through March I will make The Batman pay the piper for what he has become! All that and more in 2016 on "James Faraci The Last Of The Americans" (Cut to James physically)

James Faraci: Now if you'll excuse me...(Pulls out Megaforce Morpher and pulls out the card of "The Last Of The Americans" a card designed by Stevie Swigart with the statistics of James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and puts it into the Megaforce Morpher morphing him to James Faraci The Last Of The Americans)

TLOTA: 2016 is gonna be a big year and I've got work to do. So until next time Happy New Year and as always I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and that's my opinion!

The Last Of The Americans tries to watch Foodfight and stay sane

(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it before cutting to James physically)


TLOTA: I'm James Faraci, The Last Of The Americans and the views I'm about to express are that of my own & some of yours. Now around this time last year I tried to do a "Let's Play" but this time I'm going to try to do something even more outrageous. (Cut to clips of "Food Fight".)

TLOTA (Voice over): Around this time last year The Nostalgia Critic lost his sanity in the process while reviewing a movie called "Foodfight" and I thought it was because he was barely sane to begin with. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA: So I figured I'd give it a go and see if I stay sane in the process. Let's check out "Foodfight". (Cut to a black screen with the words "One view and several hours later in which we see a padded cell and James screaming, ranting and raving and bouncing off the walls before James looks at the camera)

TLOTA: I tried and I'm going to be here for a while! I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and ooh! Meatballs for dinner everybody! DON'T LET THE CANIBALS KNOW!


Film Brain (Audio only): Symbolism!

The Blockbuster Buster (Audio only): Silly Sally sells seashells by the seashore! and Heimdall has JalapeƱos in his hairy hindquarters! (Giggling insanely)

A.D.A. Rafael Barba (Audio only): WE NEED A REVOLUTION! DEATH TO THE OPPRESSORS!

(Cut to an image of James with a gigantic open faced smile as the Losing Horn from "The Price Is Right" plays as a stamp places over the face "APRIL FOOL'S")

Top ten moments everyone liked in 2014 about "The Last Of The Americans"

(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it then the camera zooms to the backside of the slab with the word editorial on it then cutting to The Last Of The Americans)

TLOTA: I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I'm about to express are that of my own and some of yours (Sighs) 2014 can BURN IN HELL! But I had some great moments and in order to be objective. (Pulls out Megaforce Morpher and pulls out the card of "The Last Of The Americans" made by Stevie Swigart and reverts to being James Faraci)

James Faraci: I have decided to step out of character. Take five moments I liked and five moments YOU liked from "The Last Of The Americans" and compile the top ten moments everyone liked in 2014 about "The Last Of The Americans"

(A Hand pulling a card designed by Stevie Swigart with the statistics of James Faraci The Last Of The Americans while putting it into the Megaforce Morpher from the 0:00-0:03 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run. 0:04 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators shows James Faraci morphing into James Faraci The Last Of The Americans with his Black Tee-Shirt with the American flag on it, Blue Jeans and Tan Work boots until 0:07 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run as scene cuts to James stocking up on his arsenal from the Classic Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Morpher, a bandoleer stocked up with Sonic Screwdrivers, Ammunition for a 303 British Rifle and said rifle, The Ring Of Aeon, The Gem From the Gauntlet Malachite’s Hand, Emmalina’s amulet and the Sword Of Caliverti from 0:08-0:15 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators. 0:15-0:29 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run shows James taking on all of popular culture until 0:30 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators shows when James pulls out a sonic screwdriver then cuts over to a slab of titanium where lasers cut out “The Last Of The Americans” until 0:36 mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run when James lands on top of the slab while doing a heroic pose on a black background the 0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it then above the words "The Top ten moments" and underneath "The Last Of The Americans" is "Of 2014" then the camera zooms to the backside of the slab with the number and James doing a voiceover the clip.)

James Faraci (Voice over): Number ten

10) The Crossover with myself in the "Spider-Man 3" review

James Faraci (Voice over): While it may have been seen as Meta to do a crossover with yourself. I found it exciting to see if both halves of me could agree on the same subject and I found a lot of the interactions between both halves interesting especially when it came to the casting of Topher Grace as Eddie Brock and the dance scene in Spider-Man 3 and this was a big moment in my storyline because I knew I needed a strong ending. An ending that needed to evolve and give "The Last Of The Americans" a look that even though you couldn't see him I wanted to give him a style that can be simple but be recreated by anyone. A Black Tee Shirt with the American Flag on it, A Pair of Blue Jeans and a pair of Tan Construction Boots. A nice moment if I do say so myself.

(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it then the camera zooms to the backside of the slab with the number and James doing a voiceover the clip.)

James Faraci (Voice over): Number nine

9) The Squeakquel Study

James Faraci (Voice over): I had a conversation with Chris Lee Moore: The Rowdy Reviewer about which review I was going to do next and I said that one idea I had was "Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" and Chris said "There is no way I can top what Mathew "Film Brain" Buck & Todd In The Shadows did." That I did agree but what made this review was instead of making the subject funny. I wanted to make the supposed Behind The Scenes chaos of what might have went on to make the squeakquel with the writing and I loved the fact that Fard Muhammad was willing to let me use the character of LeBron from "Dragonbored" as the boss of the four writers. I'm sure he liked it plus I was able to cross intersect three storylines. Two with the "Rowdy Lost" & "Dark Rowdy" storylines from my friend, compatriot & Blood brother Chris Lee Moore: The Rowdy Reviewer & my storyline involving "The Wicked"

(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it then the camera zooms to the backside of the slab with the number and James doing a voiceover the clip.)

James Faraci (Voice over): Number eight

8) The "In Defense Of..." Editorials

James Faraci (Voice over): I got sick & tired of people ragging on things that I liked or somewhere someone else liked or thought might be a good idea. For example I knew going into the "In Defense of...The Eighth Doctor" I was going to get Whovian hate and slams for saying what I said about The Eighth Doctor but when I said what I said I decided to try to be as objective as I could in my defense of "The Eighth Doctor" I knew that River Song said "Rule One: The Doctor Lies" but I liked giving that in pop culture what had been maligned a second chance.

(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it then the camera zooms to the backside of the slab with the number and James doing a voiceover the clip.)

James Faraci (Voice over): Number Seven

7) The "Happy Madison" Poop joke from the "Anger Management" review

James Faraci (Voice over): While I give the Nostalgia Critic props for making a good way to deal with the idiot fringe that is the "Happy Madison" audience, I felt he pulled the trigger a little too early. When I decided to review "Anger Management" I knew I had to time it better, set it up for a coup de grace that had some depth and personal stake in it. So I included my sister's fiancƩe Adam as a part of that idiot fringe to actually rescue. (Cut to James physically)

James Faraci: And as of this post he's been employed for nearly a month. Way to go dude! Plus I loved this line I gave Rowdy when the crowd came. (Cut to clip of Rowdy shouting "STAMPEDE! Oy!" and James doing a voice over the rest of the moment.)

James Faraci (Voice over): That came from one of the best lines Daniel Stern had in "City Slickers 2: The Legend Of Curly's Gold" and of course the payoff was amazing. (Show clip of TLOTA & Rowdy finishing off the "Happy Madison" audience.) Best poop joke I made.

6) The Halloween tips sketch

James Faraci: What was fun about the sketch was who I was able to get. Starting with Asalieri. Last year around October I had an in character reaction to his thoughts on my friend, compatriot & blood brother The Rowdy Reviewer. My reaction was to reprogram his television to show nothing but nonstop reruns of "The Room" & Allen Gregory and had his portable music player reprogramed to play music that'd make the devil himself go bonkers for banana balls and I felt the only way to make things square between me and him was for him to attack me and then come to a mutual truce. Then there was Moarte, I knew I had to put him in because he became a part of my Halloween ritual of Internet Halloween binges and so having him was a no brainer. But the funniest one was former WWE superstar "The Boogeyman" and just check it out. (Show clip of "The Boogeyman" creeping "The Last Of The Americans" out of his mind.) Comedic gold.

James Faraci (Voice over): Number five

5) The introduction of Paulo & Rebecca Fonseca in the "Top 13 Vampire films better than "The Twilight Saga" countdown"

James Faraci (Voice over): Consider these two as the Rachel/Tamara & Malcolm to my Nostalgia Critic. I wanted to put more characters in my character's universe and not rely on actors from "GLEE" as characters  in my character's universe so putting in my old friends just seemed like a good idea. One aspect I wanted to play with at least one of the two not knowing anything about the reviewerverse and Rebecca just felt like a good choice and the fact that they fit in with my character like a glove was another good choice.

James Faraci (Voice over): Number Four


4) The "Spider-Man 2" Nuclear Explosion

James Faraci (Voice over): If anyone has seen The Nostalgia Critic's review of "Quest for Camelot" in which the Critic got so mad at the lack of explanation that he went Nuclear got this reference but this was also my reaction when I saw "Spider-Man 2" in the theaters, on DVD and when doing this for a review I knew what reaction I wanted to have. Something so powerful that it had to shake the foundations to it's core plus I used a clip even the Nostalgia Critic didn't think of. Back To The Future Part III when the green log blows while Doc & Marty are just jerked a little Clara does the Daffy Duck Woo-hoo and is nearly sent flying. Just a perfect reaction for a terrible ending to one of the worst Comic Book movies I've ever seen.

James Faraci (Voice over): Number three

3) The "Fishtales" review.


This movie just broke me the first time I saw it. Yet like "The Room" or "Foodfight" there was something that was yelling this movie had to be SEEN to be BELIEVED! Plus I wanted someone from the Mermaid community to get the message about this movie because there was a mermaid as the romantic interest. THANK Goodness for Trina Christine Mason and thank goodness she was willing to slap me like Shemp from "The Three Stooges in: Brideless Groom" after Miss Tompkins discovers Shemp is NOT her cousin Basil because it was HILARIOUS! And face it, the movie was Satanically Wrong but worthy enough to be one of my best reviews EVER!

James Faraci (Voice over): Number two

2) The "Power Rangers" casting couch

James Faraci (Voice over): This was just a fun thing to do, but it was a one time deal! How does "The Blockbuster Buster" does this type of thing all the time? I don't know, but he is able to choose great talent for those he want to see the characters he likes and trust me when I say this choosing the talent was impossible but I felt I had got who I wanted to do true justice to the characters that I feel should be near the top echelon of Superheroes like those at DC & Marvel Comics. So this had to be near the top of my list.

James Faraci (Voice over): And THE Number one moment everyone liked in 2014 about The Last of The Americans is...

1) The ending of my One Year Anniversary review.


James Faraci (Voice over): Knowing how bad "Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd" I needed something smarter and epic to counterbalance it. Thank god for the storyline and "The Name Of The Doctor" because as one of my readers pointed out that I did a nice take on it. Plus I needed a good tie in to my second anniversary for the newly rechristened "ChannelAwesome.com" what better way to set up the anniversary special than with something so epic in the ending that it would reveal a new character and what might have happened (Show clip of James and Lea Michele romantically embracing and the moment in which James sees in the reflection of his glasses a shadowy figure with all the dialogue and actions from the "One year anniversary review" ending.) Everyone who read my review were left to wonder what was going to happen and while yes I did disappoint in certain regards with the Anniversary special . I'll admit I had no idea what to do.  But this lead up was what made it the top of my list. (Show clip of the two continue to look as Lea begins to faint.)

James Faraci: Lea! LEA! LEA! (James groans as he catches Lea Michele.) He is someone I wish never to remember again!

The Figure: What I did, I did without choice.

James Faraci: I know.

The Figure: In the name of what was right and what was Just.

James Faraci: But not in the name of Hero! (James carries Lea Michele back through the tunnel as the figure turns around to reveal Bruce Campbell’s face and title cues reading “Introducing Bruce Campbell as Hero” then cutting to James Faraci physically in his office)
James Faraci: So that's the list of the ten moments everyone liked in 2014 about "The Last Of The Americans" and I think I might show somethings that I know might get people checking me out. ORAC! Ready some of the clips for next year.
(Audio of the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play in the background as James does a voice over)
James Faraci (Voice over): In 2015 Expect great reviews on movies that you remember, An awesome crossover with my blood brother, my compatriot and one person who gave me a break "The Rowdy Reviewer" on a block of great and not so great kids shows everyone remembers, I'll be reviewing one Ben Affleck movie starting January all the way through March and I swear to god my final Channel Awesome anniversary special also my second year anniversary, two interconnected top ten lists, the review I've dreaded doing "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 2" all this and more in 2015 with "The Last Of The Americans" (Cut to James physically in his office)
James Faraci: Now if you'll excuse me. (Pulls out Megaforce Morpher and pulls out the card of "The Last Of The Americans" a card designed by Stevie Swigart with the statistics of James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and puts it into the Megaforce Morpher morphing him to James Faraci The Last Of The Americans)
TLOTA: I've got work to do. I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and I'll see everyone in 2015!
