New Comic Day + some TV foo
Sep. 10th, 2008 08:32 pmThis week I got two books:
NYX: No Way Home #2 (okay, I'll probably continue reading)
Secret Invasion: Runaways/Young Avengers #3 (okay, but didn't give me what I wanted from the mini)
Full reviews as usual at my comic reviews site for anyone interested.
Work wasn't bad, on time and finished quickly. And on the way home, hit the used bookstores and lucked out twice. Got Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hardcover for only $2.99 (looks like it was once wet and so technically more 'damaged' than the normal copies, but everything's still readable so what do I care?) and Permanence, by Karl Schroeder for $1.99.
So, some quick TV foo... Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was kickass. Unfortunately it looks like the ratings for the premiere weren't so good. Hope it picks up because cancellation would make me very disappointed.
Meanwhile, Fringe... well, it was okay. I liked it enough to keep watching, but it didn't wow me. People keep making X-Files comparisons but really, I don't get it, aside from one character being an FBI agent and that they're investigating 'weird stuff'. It doesn't have the same dynamic, focus, or character types as X-Files, and especially since the FBI agent is probably going to be working for the DHS. If anything, it actually reminded me more of a Delta Green series than X-Files... except, inferior to what an actual Delta Green series would be, at least in my head. But if Cthulhu turns out to be behind everything in Fringe, I won't be terribly disappointed. :)
