Just watched 'Israphel Animated'. In short: hated it. Seemed more like a parody of SoI rather than a precursor, and a really lame parody at that.

Opinion notwithstanding. I can't see this as connected to SoI as Lewis said (and i'm paraphrasing): It's just a "fun" little series of shorts (Well, I've heard that he said something like that). Another reason why the series can't be connected is due to it f**king up the continuity so badly that it just can't.

If the series does make into the now-expanding Israphel universe then the only way it can fit into it is as a side-story (like the third 'Loin King' movie) about Benedict Cumberbatch (on one of his off-days) trying to get those meddling YOGS members (if it's the last thing he does!) as they go from one unconnected story to another in an obvious attempt to get fans of SoI to give a damn about their other series. Oh, and theres also really bad animation on top of that. Now, since that's exactly what the animated series is like in it's current state it means that the Yogscast won't have to change a thing in order to make the show fit into the Israphel timeline.

Wow, I've written quite a lot there. I'm not suprised by that though. In actuallity i'm suprised at how me explaining what ways 'Israphel Animated' can and can't fit into the continuity of SoI turned into an outright rant on the former series.

Now that I've seen the atrocity that is I.A. and heard being speculated as being a legitimate part of (or stand-in for) SoI; i have to say that I actually want 'Yoglabs' to be part of the SoI canon in the vain possibility that only one or the the other can be part of it. So I conlude this rather lengthy opinion piece with this: The ball's in your court 'Yoglabs', and I say this with as much optimism as possible (i.e: as much optimism one can have after watching 'Israphel Animated'): I hope you can bedazzle me like SoI, and your two-part clone lab special, did; and I'll be watching regularly as I'm sure you'll do that. I hope you do that.

All right, now that I've finished my longer-than-expected conclusion, i'm off to have tea and crumpets with Stephen Fry.
