if you need me to be sweet...
1. Where's my goddamn blizzard? I suspect there are a lot of weathermen with egg on their faces right now. That 14 inches has not appeared since I went to bed.
2. BBC America has been showing Silent Witness, which is the MEs, lots of bodies, and mysteries. And, yes, people yell at Leo for doing shit he shouldn't. It's quite a lovely show, if I had to, I'd say it's a little like a cross between Foyle's War, Touching Evil and Midsommer Murders. The commercials amuse the hell out of me, since they say things like "more character depth than CSI!" and, well, watching paint dry has more character depth than CSI. It's fairly graphic in what it shows, though nowhere near as much as, say, Celebrity Deathmatch.
3. Which, really, why didn't I know they were still producing new episodes of CDM? They're kinda crap in that I don't know ANY of the people on them. But, but... NEW EPISODES with clay people beating each other up and ripping out intestines!
4. In reading old Wildcats books, from the early early 90's, I have discovered a few things. Wildcats women may have dressed in skintight costumes that showed off their assets, but you did NOT piss them off. Voodoo started out as a stripper, sure. But she also mind-frakked a Coda into killing herself. Void is the manifestation of an Orb in the form of a dead astronaut, I'm not sure she actually knows the meaning of clothes. Zealot... Seriously. Zealot. I don't think you can get more kickass than Zealot. She could give Kara Thrace lessons in emo womanpain. She could also destroy a basestar all on her own. This is not to say that really crap books didn't happen, with incredibly bad and T&A art. (I tried reading Skin Trade, the art is... so bad) But, in general, these women could hand you your ass on a platter.
4b. The men were just as badly-drawn and exploited. My roommate can tell you how many times I cackled in glee when Spartan lost his shirt (seriously, there was one bit where he's fixing their airplane... practically naked! wtf, Spartan, did you have a thing going with that plane?). It was a lot. I'm sure Warblade did, too, but I can't stand him so I tried not to pay attention to him. And he and Maul stripped, at one point. Let's not talk about the painfully large muscles all of the men possess.
5. In modern-day Wildstorm, the women are backsliding. I read an issue of Post Human Division, with a "girls night out", and felt like I was watching a really bad 80's chick flick. Because it's SO HARD to be a female superhero these days. It's not, y'know, later than 1950, and the men still treat them like fragile flowers. Really. */sarcasm* Apparently, Lifetime has taken over the female characters in Wildstorm.
6. I have a work-rant brewing. Suffice it to say, don't treat me like a fucking idiot.
7. Folds, entrance... these are almost worse than flowery euphemisms.
8. Hrm. Hungry.

Send us some?

Fnarr.
Also, I like any post that combines violent claymation and T&A exploitation and gory BBC police dramas.

Ooh, and it was really creepy when Void took her face off.
The Skin Trade was really bad. The panels were nothing more than Voodoo and Zealot in suggestive poses. I did really enjoy the crossover series they did with X-Men though.

Savant. *giggles madly* I kinda miss Savant, too. Hrm...
no subject
Dude, Savant! I really, really liked her. It made me sad that her own book was rather crappy.

I always thought of her as really strong, fierce, and resolutely avoiding descent in self-indulgent emoism.

Usually, it's more along the lines of, "I had to give up my child/keep getting gutted/once was able to do magic and now can't because it makes me evil/etc etc" stuff.
