newnumber6Kind of a dull one. This week I got four books:
Avengers: The Initiative #12 (Dropping the book with this issue)
DC Universe Zero (does nothing to make me interested in DC again, feels like a 50c ad)
New Warriors #11 (my reluctant Pick of the Week, but only okay)
Ultimate X-Men #93 (a waste that at least thankfully ends Kirkman's run)
Full reviews as usual at my comic reviews site for anyone interested.
So I'll talk about TV instead, in quick bites.
Doctor Who was pretty good, but (spoilers for newest UK episode) the Sontaran's plot is dumb. In fact, that's been my problem with a lot of Who. The plots are dumb. Anyway, it doesn't matter how great a new device is, you're not going to get half the cars in the world running it. Plus the cliffhanger was dumb because, hell, even if the sonic screwdriver couldn't mess with the device, we've seen him break glass with it and that should be easy to do. But Donna was cool, and it was nice to see Unit again.
Battlestar Galactica was meh (not really spoilers) Just feels like it's treading
water story wise. The acting's good, but I was worried the show jumped the shark with
the final four reveal and... I'm really not seeing anything to convince me otherwise in these first few episodes. And come on, nobody's noticed the President's aide hanging out with Baltar?
The real surprise of the last week or so was LOST, though, which was awesome this week (minor spoilers) the only exception was the random survivors of Flight 815 who showed up only to be shot. Redshirt syndrome, I saw it described. But everything else of the episode was great..
