The 10th season of the Great Canadian Baking Show is almost upon us, and some P.E.I. home bakers could be featured on it — if their auditions last week went according to plan. CBC's Sheehan Desjardins stopped by the tryouts in Charlottetown to find out how the show, and home baking, have taken off.

Edgar Rice Burroughs' "John Carter of Mars" books were favorites of mine when I was in my teens. The are wild, pulpy, adventures set against colorful and imaginative worldbuilding; perfect teen fantasy material. They are also, in retrospect, basically white-savior stories full of sexism, colonialism, and racism that should have been more cringe to me, even back in the early 70s. But neither I, nor American society at large, were wise enough to see it at the time, or at least, to care.
Disney's 2012 movie "John Carter" scraped off a lot of the objectionable material while retaining the color and fun. It was less brutal and violent than the source material as well, but I didn't object. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. But it was an epic, legendary, VERY expensive flop.
Disney didn't get it, and somehow didn't know what to do with it. They chopped the title to the bland and undescriptive "John Carter," failed to promote it, and when they did promote it, did it VERY badly, causing it to play to mostly empty theaters and confused audiences. What could have been the next Star Wars was buried without a headstone.
Apparently, John Carter may back on screens soon, as an animated series, which I think is great. There will be some kind of preview at San Diego Comicon, but no word where or how this might be aired. I look forward with cautious anticipation.
