It's a shame how low Captain Marvel has fallen. She had a long, respectable run with the Avengers. It was cool to watch her grow from costumed neophyte to leader of the Avengers, during Roger Stern's tenure as writer. Unfortunately, once Walt Simonson wrote her out of the title, she lost all of her prestige & never

This, then, is the crux of the problem of having these event series follow so closely on the heels of one another. Storm joining the Avengers is, in part, a result of how the Fear Itself series changed the team & the world. The Avengers... & quite frankly, all Marvel titles... should have had a couple of years of come

They're not. Going by the image, Wolverine is squaring off against the White Queen, which puts him on the side of the Avengers. Same as Beast, who's clearly going after Storm. I'm guessing her tenure with "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" will be a short lived one, since she's clearly siding with the Scott's-Men against them.

I've long suspected the Alan Parsons Project of satanic congress.

Looks kind of familiar. Like, it just might have already been an event mini-series, once upon a time, in a Marvel Universe far, far away.

This... man... was... Ghandi!

Can a remake of "Show Girls" be far behind?

The Human Bomb. A protagonist who's very touch generates massive explosions on an epic scale. It's virtually Bay's alter ego.

The article wasn't particularly specific, so I have to wonder... did park ranger Mark Moffett retire before or after he discovered the bug? My money's on the latter.

Wow! That's a great Killer Croc. Are we sure he's not going to be in The Dark Knight Rises? This would seem to confirm it.

Superman's an alien? Get out! Next, you'll be telling me that Santa Claus isn't real.

I would have preferred the mole to be a character we hadn't seen before, one that was, perhaps, interesting, with motivations that weren't so pedestrian. A foil for Shannon. Since all was forgiven when his son started hanging with the "sixers", even sweeping his medical supply theft completely under the rug, I can't

It's time to get things started, indeed.

I like Westerns, too. This one just hasn't grabbed me, yet. Haven't given up on it, though.

It felt tacked on. Rick's response came across inauthentic, as there had been no set up leading up to this moment. He's seemed woefully oblivious to what his actual relationship to Shane is, versus what he believes it to be. In this respect, Rick is not unlike Herschel, in that neither have truly accepted the truth of

Don't get me wrong. I don't dislike the show. I'm just having trouble finding my way into it. The first episode painted Bohannon as a ruthless, vengeance driven man. A pretty grim character. The next episode, though, cast him in a more roguish light, especially in his dealing with "The Swede". Now he's back on the

Deadwood was two & a half seasons of the greatest television... ever! I miss it like I'd miss my eye, were it to have been shot out in some kind of whiskey driven dispute over a wanton woman. To some degree, Justified fills the gaping hole that Deadwood left in my television schedule. I don't dislike Hell on Wheels.

I'd say Gaiman redeems his whole bootlick schtick by the end of the episode.

I hate the way these kinds of shows are structured. Opens big-wheels spin through the middle-big finish. Everything that happened tonight seemed to occur very rapidly ( & just in time to set up next week's mid-season end point). Suddenly, Andrea is a crack shot. Suddenly Dale is revealed to have suspicions regarding

Which one was the nude vampire?
