I don't know if anyone else is watching, but the CW's Saturday shows The Batman and The Legion of Superheroes have both been terrific this year.
Robin: "We've got nothing."
Batman: "Not so. We've got explosives."
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm liking LSH, but damn, did they give Shrinking Violet an annoying voice.

What time is it on? We're just hitting the point where Saturday cartoons are an option for morning entertainment.

They're on at 11:00 and 11:30 in NY, but typically, the Saturday morning schedules for CW affiliates vary widely.

Yeah, but I like this version of the character better than almost any of her other incarnations.

Jon, I read that they're going into a third printing of the first issue of Angel.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
"Angel: After the Fall" -- On the whole, I enjoyed it, but was a little disoriented what with the Wesley ghost!?! And was that Gunn as a vampire on the last page? And hey! I guess Nina didn't get out of town after all! And ... ElectroGwen? Really? Kewl. And OK, Spike next issue. Where's Illyria? And L.A.'s in Hell? Huh. And, and, and ...
I'm, dizzy. You spend so much time trying to rectify what happens in the comic with where the characters were the last we saw them, that it's hard to get your bearings into it. In a lot of ways, it was like the first episode of "Heroes" this season: The whole "Four Months Later" thing wasn't bad, per se, but it became kind of an unnecessary distraction. Whereas the time gap in "Buffy" did OK. It didn't feel like anything was missing, even though our favorite story elements weren't in play. It was clear they just weren't needed at that very moment. We knew they'd be along soon enough.
So, I don't know. I think "Angel" can grow on me. I'm definitely convinced it's going somewhere. I just have no idea where.

Huh. So we moved a bunch of boxes up to the main part of the house today, thanks to a flooding basement and us taking precautions. I haven't really started going through the boxes yet, but in the one I just pawed through (because it had a couple of obscure 90s goth magazines at the top) contained a Bill Sienkiewicz Vampires and the Undead art portfolio, and issue 1 of Alan Moore's Lost Girls from Kitchen Sink Press.
I'm assuming I should be able to sell that issue of Lost Girls to some fervent collector.

HMOG, no comments on the most recent Buffy? I LOVE the idea of Faith and Giles as a Slayer!Avengers combo so much I can't even articulate it. Hell, give them their own spin-off dammit!
