The Postcards of Titan
Huygens sends back images and info from Saturn’s enigmatic moon.
Decisions, Decisions…
While Enterprise returns tonight with a new episode, it seems like the majority of genre fans may be tuning in to Battlestar Galactica’s “premiere.”
Coupled with Sci-Fi channel’s already strong Friday lineup, could this spell the end for Trek’s current incarnation? Ironic I suppose. First three years had little-to-no genre competition and the show stunk. Now it gets better and may be crushed by competition.
Or maybe I’m overstating Sci-Fi channel’s influence?
Snow Crash
Neal Stephenson’s third novel, Snow Crash made him a writer to read. An often hilarious successor to the cyberpunk novels of the 1980s, it finally receives its Bureau review.
Lost Discussion – “Hearts and Minds”
Forgot to post last week. This week we’re treated to Boone’s (and some of Shannon’s) backstory.
Spoilerful synopsis from ABC.com
Fantastic Four Behind The Scenes
Alexius writes, Yahoo Movies Has A Behind The Scenes Of The Fantastic Four. The Characters Do Look The Part Pretty Well. I Wasn’t As Disappointed With Sue As I Thought, And They’re Using A Costumed, Not CGI’d, Ben. Be Warned, It Spoils Stan Lee’s Cameo.
Weekly Comics Discussion
This week has some interesting entries. I’ll be picking up Pulse #7 and Ultimates 2 #2 myself. Other items of note from Marvel include first issues of Spider-Man / Human Torch (a five issue miniseries), Stormbreaker: Saga of Beta Ray Bill (a six issue miniseries), and X 23 (a six issue miniseries about a character from NYX who may be Wolverine’s daughter). There will also be the first trade paperback collection of the well reviewed but poorly selling District X, and the first trade paperback of Arana: Heart of the Spider (originally published as Amazing Fantasy) which met lukewarm response from buyers and critics. The second volume of Marvel Knights 4 ships today in trade paperback along with issue 14 of the monthly series. Other well reviewed but poorly selling titles out today include Marvel Team-Up #4, New Thunderbolts #4, and the penultimate issue of She Hulk before its relaunch later this year. DC is offering trade paperbacks of Birds of Prey, From Eroica with Love, Incal, Constantine, Danger Girl, and Wonder Woman.
