I've gotta make these little adjustments

One week from today the fandom will be at SQUEECON-1 for the Supernatural season 8 premiere.

I still haven't adjusted to the move from Friday to Wednesday.

I review it: The Avengers

Joss Whedon is a god.

INFINITY STARS!!  ALL OF TEH STARS!! out of 5.

Check it out.  Stay until the end.  Sneak back in and see it again.

These are not the books you're looking for

Libreaction's Andy Priestner has managed to ping two of my nerd sweet spots with his thoughtful review of the Jedi Archives.  He takes issue in particular with their access policy, which could be the greatest comprehensive exam question ever written.

"Create an access policy for an archive containing all of the known information in the galaxy, held in a variety of print and digital formats, and serving a diverse user population.  Special attention should be paid to the competing needs to provide critical information while guarding against data corruption at the hands of the Dark Side.  Cite the professional literature and provide specific examples."

And while I won't go so far as to call head librarian Jocasta Nu the worst librarian in the galaxy, I will say that if your client is having trouble finding something, the answer is not, "If an item doesn't appear in our records, it doesn't exist".

The human race isn't going to save itself

This is just a different cut of an earlier trailer, but now with the sucktastic goodness of a Steven Tyler power ballad!

You are all my witnesses ... if Ben Affleck gets CGI'd into this thing, there will be cutting.

Thursday Nerdgasm - What I'm fannish about right now

Things that are making me squee like the little fangirl I am ...

Need a way to pass the time until the Hellatus ends or the Apocalypse begins?  Try your hand at Supernopoly.

Created by Reveria, join Team Heaven, Team Hell, or side with the outnumbered Hunters in the ultimate battle.  

I am in awe at the level of detail and creativity, and the amount of work that clearly went into it.  I would pay cash money for this game.

Do you think it's because she's awesome?  I think it's because she's awesome.

How geeky does it make me that I can identify the characters by outline alone?  You know what?  Don't answer that question ...

I call dibs on Metallicar!

This has been making the rounds of the intertubes the last 24 hours, but I am obligated by my membership in the Little Starbuck Urban Achievers to repost it. Via numerous sources, but the tip o'the hat goes to my friend Mark J. You can also find a side-by-side comparison vid here.

Later he brooded over his penne al arrabiata, knowing there was no other end to their story, and taking no comfort from it.

#LOST Chat: LA X

After all the anticipation, last night's LOST premiere did not disappoint.  "It worked"!  Smokey!  Where's Christian! That actor returned!  And that one!  Juliet lives!  Oh, wait ... The Island is at the bottom of the ocean!  Alternate reality?  Lots of questions.

And how excited was I to finally see Doug the Extra's scene?  "Do you have anything to declare?  Only a murderer."  SQUEE!

We may not have answers yet, but the idle speculation and theory spinning is all part of the fun.  Come dive in with the first Tubular live chat of the season, today at 1:00 pm EST.

T has missed you too.





I know Benry, right?

LOST!LOST!LOST!LOST!LOST!LOST!

OH HAPPY DAY! IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! LOST RETURNS, CALLOO CALLAY!!

I'll be wearing my muu-muu.  Will you be wearing yours?

Clips, links, and promos after the jump ---

Your Monday morning moment of #LOST!

36 hours! 36 hours!

It's been a long brutal hiatus, and it's easy to get ... well, you know.  Fortunately, Therese at Tubular has compiled all of the significant episodes and moments from Seasons 1 - 5 in the LOST Rewatch Lite.

And if you still have questions, she has answers.  Who's Christian?

Would a visual aid help explain things?   John Cabrera is the awesome.

Maybe a nice interactive chart to help keep track of all the characters off-island connections?

UPDATED! The Sydney Airport scenes get the 24 real time treatment. Tip o'the hat to Melanie!

#Supernatural 5.11: Sam, Interrupted

Oh, happy day!  The long dark tea time of our soul comes to a blessed end!  Supernatural returns!

The boys go undercover in a mental institution tonight.  It sounds a little "Folsom Prison Blues" to me,  but with the added twist that inner demons are bound to come out.  There's only so much group talk and art therapy a person can take before they break.

While I'm excited that #theboysareback, I'm a little concerned that this is going to turn into one big long chick flick moment of sharing and caring.  On the other hand, it would be nice to get a more satisfying resolution to Sam's betrayal and Dean's feelings about it than we did in "Fallen Idols".

Written by Dabb and Loflin - who are slowly beginning to grow on me - and directed by James L. Conway.

Probably spoilery promos and clips, after the jump ...

It's funny because it's true: #LOST!

Two weeks! Two weeks from today I will be in such a state of anticipation and excitement it will require a horse tranq to get through the day.

Why, you ask? Well, it's only the premiere of the first episode of the last season of the greatest show ever. What, you don't watch it? You gave up in Season 2? Okay, so here's what's been ... oh.  Oh, I see.

I see what the Onion News Network did there.


Final Season Of 'Lost' Promises To Make Fans More Annoying Than Ever

I'm sorry we make you feel bad about yourself.  And that we make you read 10,000 word diatribes about old episodes instead of recapping new shows.

But look, really.  All the mysteries will be answered.  Darlton have even released some pretty telling spoiler info as a show of good faith.





Tip o'the hat to Kate and T for the Onion clip!
