There are numerous releases this week, but most are
new pressings of existing titles. If there’s anything
you’ve had a hard time tracking down, the next month

Star Wars: Fannish Rambling on Moot Points
Yeah, it’s Lucas’ world, and we just watch it. Still….
Dave has already written a review of Revenge of the Sith, which spurred lively discussion, and even one suggestion that Lucas perhaps shouldn’t write and direct these things. Let’s face it: the visuals are stupendous, and the emotional scenes, generally, stupid.
So…. Just for fun, let’s play Monday Night Quarterback, or How to Unfairly Belabor a Moot Point. Come on! Bureauites’ ideas for Enterprise awhile back were cool. If you were setting up the three prequels (with knowledge of the actual three films, of course), what would you have done?
Book Review – “Cast of Shadows”
This is the first novel by Kevin Guilfoile. Keep an
eye out for that name.

Weekly Comics Discussion – May 25, 2005
This week’s shipping
list is an expensive one for me, featuring
Green Lantern #1 from DC, Emma Frost Vol.
3: Bloom (which will lead to a review of the
complete 18 issue series), Essential Thor Vol.
2, Secret War from the files of Nick
Fury (a bonus issue to kill time before the next
eternally late entry hits shelves), and Ultimates
2 #6. Also shipping today is the first issue of
Fantastic Four written by J. Michael
Straczynski, but for that, I’ll wait for the TPB.
Charlie Jade: Diamonds
We learn more about Charlie himself in this episode, more about 01 Boxer’s intentions, and more about Vexcor’s plans for our version of earth.
Piper to leave Doctor Who
As reported by BBC News Online, and previously rumoured elsewhere, Billie Piper (Rose Tyler) is unlikely to appear in all of series two of Doctor Who. Just how many episodes she will be in has yet to be determined as the storylines for the series are still being worked on.
Century City Review – “To Know Her”
Another week, another rerun. This show deserved a
longer run on the air.

Doctor Who: The Empty Child
London, 1941: an alien craft has crashed, and a mysterious child is
terrorising the homeless children of the city. The scariest episode yet by a
considerable distance.

Fall 2005 Schedule
The major networks have announced their primetime
schedules for the fall portion of the 2005-2006
season. I threw together a programming grid and
posted it here.

interesting changes, which I’ll discuss further below.
