I wish I had never worked up my nerve to go into the comic book store because now I'm going to spend every cent I own in there. Dammit.
This is all to say that I picked up the first Sandman trade on Wednesday and loved it just as much as I've always thought I would. And there were so many other interesting looking books in there. Plus I hear Marvel did a whole Civil War series? I'm not a big Marvel fan but I would totally buy those because it's just the sort of crack that I can't avoid.
When the hell did I become Seth Cohen? *grumps*
baylorsr and I discussed it last night and we're not allowed to talk about the possibility that Supernatural will be cancelled because we'll end up sitting on the floor rocking back and forth. So if you want to save the both of us from insanity you must go over to Kristin's E!Online Save One Show poll and vote for Supernatural. Do it because you think the show deserves it or do it to preserve the mental health of fangirls like you but please, please, please vote. The network execs take this into consideration when they're making their decisions (as exemplified by One Tree Hill's survival last season).
One of the X-Files episodes we marathoned through last night was 'Die Hand Die Verlezt' and I think that was the first XF episode Kim Manners ever directed. That, of course, makes all the little homages in 'Scarecrow' that much more entertaining. Also, the evil!Aunt from 'Scarecrow' was one of the devil-worshipping teachers in 'Die Hand Die Verlezt.' I love Vancouver.
Apparently I'm watching a lot of second seasons at the moment (SPN, XF, BtVS). One of the things I've noticed is how much more pedestrian Buffy's direction is when compared to XF and SPN. Obvious SPN lucked out when a lot of the old XF talent came on board from the very beginning but it makes me wonder about Buffy. Was it just that Whedon didn't have the good fortune of knowing a great director when he began or was it because it was harder to find good talent at a reasonable price at that time in LA? Either way, it's only an interesting observation.
I think I will end with a quote:
"For if this Nation is to remain true to the ideals symbolized by its flag, it must not wield the tools of tyrants even to resist an assault by the forces of tyranny."
- Rumsfeld v. Padilla (dissent written by Justice Stevens and joined by Justices Souter, Ginsberg and Breyer)
