Peter’s been out of town (I’ll let him say why) so there haven’t been any posts this weekend from him.
I haven’t done my usual posting of BIDs in his absence because I was out visiting my mother and mother in law. And you should be doing so as well.
I could talk about the upcoming project… nah, you’ll hear about it soon enough.
Mention has been bandied about (most lately, over in the Pulse on Comicon.con) over a notion involving the permanent return of Captain Mar-Vell. No hoax, no dream, no imaginary tale. The Guy, back from the dead.
The answer is, yeah, we considered it. We consider a lot of possibilities. In this case, I have a story line I’d been building towards involving a sort of massive cosmic intervention to deal with Marv’s current mental state (as some fans have quite correctly observed, there’s only so long Marv can go on doing this stuff before others start trying to rein him in). We discussed it, and ultimately decided we wouldn’t bring Mar-Vell back from the dead for it. This all happened weeks ago. So the matter was already settled well before word started leaking out. We’re still doing the storyline (over issues #15 to 18) but Mar-Vell will not be a part of it.
Beginning, middle, end of rumor.

(Sorry about the posting delay: We had lightning storms hereabouts last night, and I shut down the computer to avoid mishaps.)
Unusual episode: A series creating a pilot for itself as what would be, effectively, a new series. If “Angel” continues, possibilities galore. If it doesn’t, it’s not an unreasonable last episode (although the lost potential will sting.) Spoilers follow:
And once more into the fray…(spoilers below)…
Continue Reading “TONIGHT’S BUFFY (with spoilers added for extra flavor!)”
Consider this a companion peace to the earlier “Rights.”
I’ve noticed a recurring theme in many political discussions in which I’ve engaged, and what it boils down to is this: “How dare you criticize Bush when your hero, Bill Clinton, has done the same or worse.”
Putting aside that I’ve never said Clinton was my hero…indeed, putting aside that I’ve openly stated he embarrassed the office of the presidency…
…that makes it okay…how?
See, that’s what I don’t comprehend. Bush supporters spouting high dudgeon that he’s criticized for his actions when, of course, conservative pundits never said ANYTHING harsh about Clinton in the entire eight years of his presidency. Not a word, not a syllable.
Is anyone suffocating on the double standard? Because I certainly am.
And here is the cover for Fallen Angel #3. The first issue is currently being solicited. Let’s hope retailers actually order some.
I was convinced that when we cracked open our brand new set of “Futurama” DVDs, it would be filled with nothing but football games. Why not? “Futurama” had to be the most pre-empted TV show in the history of Fox, and possibly in the history of TV. It was just amazing. I have the feeling that, in any given season, it was pre-empted more often than it was aired. When I would tune in to see it, chances were one in three it would be on.
Well, interestingly, it wasn’t as bad as I thought. The DVDs did not contain footbal. They continued “Futurama.”
Just not all of season one, as advertised.
Instead, our boxed set was missing disk three and instead had two copies of disk two.
What the HÊLL goes on with show?
