Flail post

[dieastra]

I feel it is time for another flail post. So much going on this year that a fan can look forward to. Where to begin?

Star Trek:

- I have preordered and paid the new 1:6 scale QMX Kirk and Spock. Now I just need to wait for them to arrive in July. The story behind those is wonderful. In 50 years of Star Trek no company ever made 1:6 scale high

Oh, wow, thanks for the update! I may have to give Reign another chance...

I was flailing over the new Venture Bros season, but it just ended. So now I'm excited about Agents of Shield and Once Upon a Time. And the Uncanny Inhumans comic a friend just gave me.

Cheers!

You're welcome! Admittedly it was a bit heavy on figures ;) I never tire talking about them. I probably should add all the things from alumfelga's comment, as she found more things to flail about which I had forgotten.

What we know about Reign so far is that John may even dance in there - he tweeted a picture of himself and the main actress, doing dance rehearsals. I've never watched the show before, I hope I'll understand the episode without having seen the rest?

I have no idea what Venture Bros is / are, but your other selections are good choices as well! Sometimes I wonder what ordinary people do - those who are not in any fandoms? Life must be so boring for them ;)

It is boring. That's why they're so interested in the lives of people who are famous for being famous. Agatha Christie asks herself the same thing in her autobiography, saying that she's never bored. She was talking about imagination, not fandom, but I think it's along the same lines.

John dancing?! OMFG! How is he not a huge star by now? I just can't even...

The Venture Bros is a brilliant parody animation of boy adventurers like Johnny Quest, comics, super hero/villains, super scientists, star wars, etc. It's a very smart show. With a lot of smart music and history references. I could go on about it forever, lol!

people who are famous for being famous

I just recently said exactly the same somewhere else. Each day when I log into my e-mail at GMX I am greeted by "news" about people I don't even know and don't care about. Who never have achieved anything, other than apparently always being where a camera is. It's a pretty shallow life.

John dancing?! OMFG! How is he not a huge star by now? I just can't even...One really wonders... I mean, of course it is a bit different in the UK, 17 years on West End (and also Broadway) musical stages and moderating countless BBC TV shows should count for something, but still... he wrote on Twitter that he had auditioned for "Galavant" but apparently was not right for the show. That would have been THE chance to show America the multitalent he is. We'll have to wait for another opportunity. I had hoped it would be when he moderated the ABC show "Sing your face off" but he did not sing in that himself sadly

[dancingdragon3]

The way you put it, that does sound like a best of both worlds. It makes me happy for him. But I unsuccessfully tried to get into Galavant, and if he was on it, then there wouldn't be a question. He does cheeky comedy so well! That's a crime when Ben Cumberpatch is all over Hollywood now.

And I didn't know he sang. I'll need to go check out Youtube...

And I didn't know he sang. I'll need to go check out Youtube...You didn't? See, we are already educating each other
