Star Trek: Enterprise – “Daedalus”
Very, VERY late…
Welcome to malfoy!
You may have noticed the site being slow and weird and flaky. Or not. Either way, read on for boring technical details.
Fiziko: Please read the comments for an important message that I can’t deliver to you any other way at this time.

Novel Review: Gravity’s Rainbow
A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare to it now.
It is too late. The Evacuation still proceeds, but it’s all theatre. There are no lights inside the cars. No light anywhere. Above him lift girders old as an iron queen, and glass somewhere far above that would let the light of day through. But it’s night. He’s afraid of the way the glass will fall– soon– it will be a spectacle: the fall of a crystal palace. But coming down in total blackout, without one glint of light, only great invisible crashing.

Fantastic Four Trailer Online
Apple seems to have the exclusive rights on it for now.
Can’t say it makes me want to rush right out and see the film.
Point Pleasant Discussion – “Pilot”
The new series from Marti Noxon, Ben Edlund, and Rick
Rosenthal stars a few recognizable
faces. It premiers tonight on Fox at 8PM CST,
and the second episode airs tomorrow night at the
same time on the same channel. It runs the hour
after Lost, which puts it in the same time
slot as the returning Alias, which may make
things hard for it.
Weekly Comics Discussion
One more week until new Smallville hits the
air, so we’ve got to get our superhero fix from the
comics they will forever be connected with. This
week, I’ll be picking up Daredevil #69
(which wraps up the Golden Age arc, and will
be my last monthly copy before I switch back to
trades), Emma Frost Vol. 2: Mind Games (a
digest that covers up to issue 12 in an 18 issue
series), Essential Peter Parker, The Spectacular
Spider-Man Vol. 1, Exiles #58 (my last
monthly issue before switching to trades),
Ultimate Spider-Man #71 (which wraps up the
“Superstars” arc, and again, will be my last issue
before switching back to trades) and Wolverine:
The End #6 (which wraps up that aimless, late
and befuddled miniseries.) That’s six items this
week, all of which should lead to new reviews. Work
is a little nuts right now (as I’m being moved to a
different location) so the reviews may not be coming
as quickly as I’d like. They will come, though.
(The Emma Frost review may wait until I can
review the entire series.) Also shipping this week
are Hulk Visionaries: Peter David Vol. 1,
the second volume of Mark Millar’s Marvel Knights
Spider-Man, Marvel Masterworks: X-Men Vol.
5, and the new Green Lantern Archives Vol.
5 from DC.
