- Without any new Doctor Who, I haven't been very chatty here. I did see that they are announcing the new Doctor tomorrow. I really wish they had a set time beyond "after the tennis is over". Very helpful, BBC. I guess I'll keep an eye on the Internet in the afternoon. As I have no preference for any particular actor to take over the role, I'm not ( Read more... )

- I have access to Netflix for the short term, allowing me to watch Luke Cage without resorting to "alternative means". I have to say, Netflix is a dangerous thing. So many shows you could watch. No wonder people like to binge watch; everything is all right there. To my great delight, all of the Star Trek shows are there, so I can potentially watch ( Read more... )

- I saw this on io9.com the other day. They introduced a female Captain America in the Spider-Gwen universe and her origins were laid out in the latest issue. What really caught my eye, though, was the fact that on Earth-65, there's a eye patch wearing Peggy Carter that's basically a stand in for Nick Fury. I totally love this idea. This makes ( Read more... )

- Been real smoky around here lately due to the forest fires in Washington state. Weather system keeps blowing the smoke up our way. While it was kind of cool seeing the haze mask everything, it is still pretty stinky at the same time and not fun for people with respiratory problems. The news claims it should be better next week, so fingers crossed ( Read more... )

- Today was Free Comic Book Day. It was also five degrees (Celsius) and there was a line to get into the comic book store. It took me an hour to get into the store. So yeah, it was a little chilly waiting in line. I was totally not expecting a line, but I guess people love their free comics. I was only mildly interested in the free comics, but I ( Read more... )

- Anyone reading the new Serenity comic? The first issue was out this week. With Buffy and Angel living on in the comics, it seemed only natural that Firefly would join them, too. Seeing as we won't get another movie, likely ever, this is the next best thing.

Just some initial thoughts:

I saw this on io9.com and thought it was pretty awesome:

So much Superman history in just two minutes. I adore Bruce Timm. His animated Batman series was a huge part of my childhood. Also, deep down, I'm a DC girl. I grew up reading my mom's Silver Age comics that she collected and read when she was a kid. Somewhere in my grandmother's house are ( Read more... )

So, has anyone read Serenity: The Shepherd's Tale? I suppose if Firefly had kept going, we might have learned all about Book's past as the show went on. Or maybe not. This is Joss after all. ;-) But now that I read The Shepherd's Tale, I kind of wish I hadn't. Leaving Book this super mysterious guy is more interesting than knowing, well...

Oh man. Much Music just started showing reruns of Buffy. Be still my geeky heart when I saw five episodes were on today. Considering March 10, Buffy's anniversary date, was just a few days ago, this just seemed right. I haven't watched my DVDs in a long time, so it was fun, seeing episodes I hadn't seen in a long time. It's funny how much you can ( Read more... )
