- Looking for Spike (in all the wrong places)
My regular comic store, Comic Quest, didn’t get any copies of Peter David’s Spike: Old Times. Yesterday I checked at Comics Toons and Toys. They were also sold out. Today I started looking around more of the Orange County area. First step: Mile High Comics. I figured it was a long shot, since they’re the […]
- Wee Little Puppet Man
OK, I have officially changed my mind about the four covers for Angel: The Curse #1. If they weren’t publishing alternate covers, there’s no way they would have used a fully-painted picture of the puppet Angel. Update: Scan added. The guy at the comic store said, “of all the people who had it on their […]
- Excess Coverage
A new Angel comic book mini-series (from IDW, rather than Dark Horse), Angel: The Curse, picks up after the end of the TV series. In this first issue of a new Angel tale, Angel has survived the conclusion of his TV show and finds himself in a mysterious Romanian forest. There, his search for the […]
- Desperate in Decency
It looks like the FCC isn’t completely insane. After four months, they concluded that the now-infamous Desperate Housewives locker room promo isn’t indecent after all. “Although the scene apparently is intended to be titillating, it simply is not graphic or explicit enough to be indecent under our standard.” I saw the spot—or at least something […]
- OK, that was weird
I’m listening to Evanescence’s Fallen and skimming this week’s link-checker report. Apparently the Taco Belle Amy Acker fan site was unreachable at the time it was checked, but it’s up now. So I started reading some of the interviews on the site, noticing they were all pre-Illyria…. at which point the album gets to “My […]
- Cancellations
When it comes to serial entertainment, everything will end at some point. I’m sure even Superman and Spider-Man comics will cease someday. A show can end before or after it’s run out of things to say, but it’s worst when it hasn’t finished speaking. We’ve all seen shows that kept going long after, by any […]
- Learning the hard way
Advice to the world at large: do not watch “A Hole in the World” one night, “Shells” the next, and then go listen to the Evanescence album. You will not like what it does to you. Trust me on this. More when I’m coherent again. *snivel*whimper*
- Well, that sucks.
Miss two weeks and they pull the rug out from under you: …the cast, crew, writers and producers of Angel deserve to be able to wrap up the series in a way befitting a classic television series and that is why we went to Joss to let him know that this would be the last […]
- Even interdimensional law firms need comp coverage
It’s the law: all employers in California have to provide work comp coverage for all their employees. Even Wolfram and Hart.
- Interconnectedness
It still seems odd that Buffy and Angel appear to be leading up to two completely separate but both major apocalypses. We’re just a few episodes from the end of each season, and it looks like there’s no connection between the First Evil in Sunnydale and the full-up Biblical apocalypse in LA. Or perhaps the […]
- Just saw “Orpheus.” On tape.
Okay, no Slayer army yet, but I have yet to see what happens on the Buffy that showed while we were elsewhere. And Willow under a different writer is sort of like Willow on speed. And where the hell is Cordy getting her clothes? Evil Pregnant Sluts ‘R’ Us?
- Crazy Ideas
Have you ever realized that an elegant solution to an age-old question was sitting right in front of you? Or rather, had just left town for an undisclosed reason? My point: I think I know how the proverbial “Slayer army” can come into being. Here’s the problem: Buffy is, for all intents and purposes, the […]
- Life imitating art?
The Los Angeles Times printed this on the front page on Wednesday, showing downtown LA against a very red sunset, a result of two days of heavy Santa Ana winds. Does this remind anyone else of the most recent Angel episode?
- “The House Always Wins,” except when Angel does.
Yay me. Looks like the writing-stuff-down-so-I-can-prove-I-said-it purpose of this board is coming into play sooner and more effectively than I’d thought. Not that I like the way the writers brought it about, but I’m beginning to think that to write on one of Joss’s shows, you have to take an Emotional (Manipulation) Intelligence Test. Saying […]
- “Deep Down” we’re all a little freaked.
Don’t you just love having your head messed with? And isn’t Joss great at it? Of course, if you’re a return viewer, you know this by now and it’s probably part of the reason you tune in. The season premiere, though, didn’t have a lot of time or latitude to do much but mess with […]
