I loved Star Trek The Next Generation, and I always had my eyes set on watching Star Trek Deep Space Nine afterward! But, uh, abridged, of course. I used this list of essential episodes as a starting point and let my friends flesh it out ( Read more... )

It took me over a year to watch every episode of Futurama (one of the three of you still reading please comment on that poor lonely entry!), and, well, now that I have been focusing more on writing, I have less time to mainline television shows!

So when I decided to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation, I decided that I would do an abridged ( Read more... )

Lee Thompson Young, Disney Channel's "Jett Jackson," Dead At 29.

The age of epic posts is over, but the Age of Ultron is here! (I didn't even go to that panel. I went to a lot of others, though.)

I totally almost missed my flight to San Diego. I totally got Pris to sign her map in The Throne of the Crescent Moon. Carrie and I totally geeked out about Journey into Mystery. I totally told John Layman that I liked ( Read more... )

My unpreparedness last year can hardly compare to my unpreparedness this year, when I don't even have signing schedules for a lot of things! But, you know, that's how Comic-Con rolls.
