Who was it that somebody thought was Ethan? The redheaded warlock? (Or was that about a future issue? - because the redhead is clearly not Ethan.)
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Oh the funny that my local shop is called "The Comic Bug" because I have caught it again. Once I'm stuck on a serial I start spending way too much money on comics. 'Cause I can just nip down to the store and get me the next issue of Buffy for ...holy crap he didn't charge me. I thought my bill was a little light! Now I feel bad complaining about spending money. I wonder if he realized?
Anyway what I was going to say before I looked at my receipt and realized I got a free comic is that these are so short that I know they leave me twitchy when I turn that last page. So I always use that as an excuse to buy a trade paperback to tide me over to the next issue. Today I got Aliens vs. Predator which I have never read from start to finish. Yay!

Okay, regarding the latest Buffy issue, who caught the Alan Moore reference?

Not I. Is it image or text?

It's text.
I'd quote it in white font for you, but I don't have the issue to hand. Somebody will probably get it before I get a chance to post it.

Maybe it's referencing a book I haven't read. I got the Pink Floyd reference. Does that count for something?

Hee.

I got the old MTV show Aeon Flux on DVD. Man I used to love that show. I think back in the Liquid Television days they only showed a half an episode at a time. Maybe in small doses it was better. Has anybody else tried watching it? I'm 1.5 episodes in and thinking about stopping. It seems purposefully byzantine while lacking in actual plot. Is it just me?

You're thinking of the shorts -- after the pilot, there were a half-dozen or so shorts on Liquid Television, and then it was spun off into a separate half-hour program. All of that stuff is on one of the disks.

Yes! Er, but if that isn't your thing, I believe that the first few episodes are fairly straightforward compared to what comes later on. So yeah, if you're not enjoying what you've seen so far it's probably not going to improve.
