TeeVee stuff

Should we save the Sarah Conner Chronicles?
SCC fans are being asked to take photos of themselves posing with products that sponsor the show and posting them on a Flickr group.

Firefly/Serenity friend Wash (Alan Tudyk) starred in Dollhouse: Briar Rose.
So now we know Alpha's face , but we're still missing a lot. We don't know his motivation or his connection with Alpha

A Daniel Farraday centric Lost: The Variable
(personally, I enjoyed the answers and ideas, until the end scene with the Others)
If the incident never occurs, then the Swan is never encased in concrete. No one ever has to push the button to contain the energy. That means Desmond will never forget to push the button. Flight 815 will never crash. Widmore will never send his freighter. Dan will never go back to the island and he'll live. How was Dan going to stop the incident before Mum shot him? Nuke the whole island with Jughead.

I don't hear much buzz about Harper's Island, but I am watching it, just one ep behind. Moving to Saturday night.

Also, don't forget Dave's excellent Free Comic Book Month promo.

fall teevee

Fall TV news--
It's weird not to have Gilmore Girls or Veronica Mars coming back this fall.
EW Which new series have you buzzing?
(maybe Bionic Woman, Journeyman)

Kristin Bell, Veronica Mars, joins Heroes
I know I read that she was joining the Lost cast, but now chose to join the ever expanding Heroes cast instead.

More Heroes casting

Nathan Fillion on Desperate Housewives

Wood axes, polar bears

Back to work week grind! Some images to share--
I wanted to share these handcrafted guitars from a program at my library. Rich crafts electric guitars, amplifiers and more. It was really interesting to see electric guitars in beautiful wood- although he admits you have to sit to use them because of their weight. It's great when your personal hobbies can cross with work.

Friend Bryan had artist Dave Perrillo, a MidJersey regular, create this image of Michael from Lost being eaten by a polar bear as revenge for killing his beloved Ana Lucia.

It's almost June, and that means Wizard World Philly. I have to say that the NY Comicon (and putting on my own MidJersey), have taken some of the excitement from Wizard. I've been waiting for the programming, which will get me more jazzed. It's always great to see local artist and dealer friends. I guess being the third year I've gone to it, with many of the same names, takes some juice out. PhillyGirl got her 3 day, so it is fun to fangirl together.

Reading Preacher GN now.

TV

Season and series finales for the shows I watch are coming fast in the next few weeks.

My loyalty can hinge on the finale: for example, Prison Break Season 2 ended with Michael back in prison (in a savage Peruvian prison). I just can't sustain belief and go through that next season, and even with so easy-on-the eyes Wentworth Miller, I've written it off. (Kellerman appeared in Grey's last week, for the spin off I'll probably watch for the awesome redhead Kate Walsh)

Desperate Housewives-- Peppered with some great Gaby lines, the season has been mild. Still Tivo. Susan and Ian and Mike, dull. Edie and Carlos, OK.

Grey's Anatomy- So bored with the Christina/Burke marriage storyline. Meredith is dopey with McDreamy. Kate Walsh, a shot of life, is leaving for the spin off. The heart of Grey's is with Izzie Stevens, and I'm hoping I like the resolution of the George story.

Lost- The internet is buzzing with the 2010 announcement of the end of Lost. That's still three more seasons. The move to 10 PM, and the season, has made this a must watch to a sometimes Tivo. I think this show really changed course with the addition of the guns-- watch how many times someone threatens someone else with a gun--it's the equalizer for a little woman like Kate to brandish a weapon, but it also makes for less interesting 'resolutions'.

Heroes- That flashforward episode of last week was one of my favorite shows of the year.

Gilmore Girls- Series finale May 15th. This season has crept along, and Alexis Bledel has never had the energy or acting chops, and that only in tandem with Lauren do I really like her. I'm the rare person who started watching this series in the last few years, instead of dropping it like others.

Veronica Mars- The disappointment of the year. Season 3 never found it's footing, the mini-mysteries were shallow, and Wallace and Weevil nearly cut out. Piz does not do it for me as her new beau.

Actually happy to have more free time in nice weather for running, reading, comics...

PhillyGirl meets Losties!

PhillyGirl has returned from her Lost weekend in LA-- I mean the show Lost, where they have charity events and she hangs out with Lost fans and goes bowling with the writers. So cool

Some pictures here from the party- with Rose and Bernard! [We miss them on the show!]

Sun's dad! And Shannon (Maggie Grace) in a WonderWoman- Batgirl Tshirt!


The library was half flooded this morning from a running toliet. Amazing our public and staff computers were OK. By the time I came in, it's just soppy rugs and big fans running. It has been a crazy couple days here-- thug teen gave my coworker the finger and then argued with me when I had to ask him to leave; a patron walked in my training class on Mouse Basics yesterday and asked us to "keep it down" and the flood. Who knows what's next? Public libraries are a scene, I tell you. The good news is I keep getting great graphic novels in, like Elk's Run, DC Frontier Absolute Edition, The Middleman, etc.

About 4 weeks behind on comics, but I've been kind of uninspired. But just read Keith Giffen's Tag 2-- excellent!
