Anonymous Coward writes, Today (Wed June 9) is a
very special day indeed. According to inside
sources, this is the day the entire main cast of
Firefly reunites and begins filming scenes together
for the upcoming Serenity movie. Browncoat fans have
united to present them with a
surprise 4ft x 8ft vinyl welcome-back banner.
One fan has actually been cast as an extra in the
movie and is posting
his experiences in ongoing diary entries.
Release has been officially scheduled for April 22,
2005. That’s, um, only 316 days… I may just
have to bookmark that BLOG.
Weekly Comics Discussion
It’s a new week, and time for new comics. The only
titles I’m expected are DC’s Silver Age Sample, a
great deal at under a buck, and Ultimate X-Men
#47. (I should get that review of Ultimate
X-Men 40-45 up soon, I suppose. I have the
notes for it roughed out, but haven’t typed them in
yet.) I may be tempted by Witches #1, as
well, unless my backlog of trades from the backlists
starts showing up. (I’ve got a Daredevil and three
Marvel Age volumes still on the way.)

Babylon 5 Review – “No Surrender, No Retreat” (Season Four)
The “Low Point” here was almost the three week delay

retailer’s exchange deadline, but that wouldn’t be
fair to the show’s creators.

TV/DVD Review: Stargate Season 4
Okay…My turn to review a season of Stargate. Just a heads up – this is a review of the shows, not so much the DVDs. I haven’t watched the extras or listened to the commentary yet. Be warned – the one extra I did watch was more than a bit cheesy. Buy these if you want it for the SHOW.

shipping list that includes the reprint of

Stacy and the new Green Goblin, Exiles #48,
wrapping up Tom Bedard’s first story on the title,
Ultimate Fantastic Four #6, finishing the
first story arc and paving the way for a new creative
team next month, and Ultimate Spider-Man
#60, which kicks off the new Carnage storyline.
Comic Review – “Fantastic Four: Hereafter”
