I've been promising a while to do a post with my reactions to current fannish obsessions. Let's see if this time I actually make it.

Heh, you have more patience with Joss than I do. This whole Ethan thing is the last straw for me. I haven't much liked the comics in the first place, and killing off Ethan was just so pointless and horrid!

It was, I agree. Beyond the whole killing off a great character for no good reason, there's also the outrage of "you brought Ethan back and then killed him without even letting him have a scene with Giles?!"

But... it didn't have as much impact for me because of how fragmented the story is. Which really doesn't sound like a reason to continue collecting, granted, but it does mean that the comic didn't get thrown across the room when I read that scene.

Bascially at this point I think part of the reason I'm going to continue collecting is all the damned trouble I went through to get the first four issues and set up a subscription at the new local comic shop...

That and I'm an optimist that it might get better?

Great DW ep, I must agree. The statues were unutterably creepy. *shiver*

The bit at the end with the montage of statues all over the place and the voice over again of the Doctor talking about not blinking... I bet there were a lot of kids the night the ep aired that didn't sleep/had nightmares/refuse to go near statues for a while.
