The writers strike is apparently in its dying throes, which of course is excellent news. I know there’s not going to probably be any new episodes of TV shows for another couple of months at the earliest, but at least canon is no longer in the hands of the network execs (those non-union Heroes graphic novels Sucked. Badly. And you just know the NBC ( Read more... )

Just caught the finale episode of Rome, the series with 2000 year old canon, scenes that would make Torchwood blush and mummy and daddy issues that makes Heroes’ look tame - oh I love it ( Read more... )

I’m bored. I am completely and utter mind numbing bored and there’s not much I can do about it and fandom, my usual refuge in these sort of situations, is not helping. All my fandoms either have ended or have no new canon coming for a while. Doctor Who until at least March and Heroes not at any point in the foreseeable future due to the strike. ( Read more... )

I'm involved fandoms for the characters. It always starts with me wanting more of x character and my fandom obsession of late has been with two characters, Donna Noble from Doctor Who and Noah Bennet from Heroes. It's kind of odd since they’re both very different. Anyway, I bring fic recs, graphic novel recs and fanvid recs connected to both ( Read more... )

I think I’ve lost all objectivity when it comes to discussing episodes of Doctor Who. Well, I’m a fan so I never really had any objectivity, so really I’ve just shed any pretensions to objectivity. Because Voyage of the Damned was occasionally cheesy and a little contrived, but damn I loved every single minute of it. Because new Who! And June was ( Read more... )

So the season three of Heroes sneak peek looks spectacularly awesome. Certainly the volume is living up to its name - HRG, Angela, Elle, Bob and Sylar (all of whom I would place in the Heroes rouge gallery) + loads of new villains. I think the show has figured out what the people want (and by ‘people’ I of course mean me). Add some shirtless ( Read more... )

Lookie: Jack Harkness meets Peter PetrelliThis does pose the question: what would happen should Heroes and the Whoniverse collide ( Read more... )

At one point in the episode I was sure Nathan was going to start singing that song.

Please let the writers strike end before next year. I can't bare the thought that I may not get to see Chapter Three until September 2008.

Oh Heroes, you give me a brilliant episode last week and followed it with bit of a let down.

( Truth and Consequences )

I still can’t get over this week’s episode of Heroes. I must have watched the hostage exchange/stand off scene about twenty times now. The brilliance is that the show outlined through the painting exactly what was going to happen six episodes earlier, and when it actually happens, it’s was still such a brutal and emotional shock to the system. And ( Read more... )
