It has been awhile since I have ranted about shows that I watch, so here it goes;
Battlestar Galactica - most likely the best written and profoundly the best acted of shows currently on air. If you haven't seen this show then I forgive you for not being the uber geek that I am. If you have been keeping up or even following behind the scenes, it's simply maddening. The plot lines have become so tangled and knotted that I have lost track of some of them. This latest episode I must say was the best I have every seen come from the writers and cast. SO often we have shows that have our upstanding good guys fall from grace, but as always they pick themselves up and dust themselves off. Far from that in this show. Adama's crash into drain of fate is second to Tye's. One reason I like this show is the act it's more a story about characters then a sci-fi about lasers and machines. I find myself astounded by the myriad of stories and possible futures that could come from actions being portrayed. The plot lines I most wnat to see; Kara resolve her issue with her husband, Tye come back to the bridge, and Why hasn't Gauis been killed? It simply tortures me that I can not tell what they producers or writers are going to throw my way. This show is by far of of the most complex shows out there.
Smallville - When I first heard that they would be having a few "guest" appearances on the show I was excited, well ok I almost creamed myself. Yes I am that much of a comic geek. First I was happy to see Green Arrow come into play. Last season was a very week and I dare to say troublesome season. One that I thought might spell the end. So far this season has been nothing but strong stories and even stronger appearances. As in my last blog I talked about all the appearances. This season is now gearing up to have a second appearance from one of the JLA's lesser know hero's, Jonz Jonzz or the Martian Manhunter. The Oreo, eating martian is from the old school of the JLA. A simpler times when heros were basically impervious and super. So adding him in a more darker and possibly leadership role is very interesting. BTW if the writers are reading this here are a few ideas about the next few appearances, FIRST BATMAN, uh duh!, 2. Wonder Woman, 3.Green Lantern (I dont care which one either), 4. The Specter, but the last one would never make it... Also (to said writers and producers) what about a show based on the New Gods Comic book with a merger of the show the OC meets The New Gods. Just mull that over. Teen angst, meets super power and the evil they must fight all tangled with dealing with stuffy parents. Ok I'm done...
Well if you like these show great. If you have never seen these shows, stop pretending you have a life and don't watch TV. Turn the channel from "America's Top Model" and watch some good TV>
I have been a big fan of the show since it started four years ago. Last season was nice because they had some guest heros on the show that dded to the story of Superman/ Last season was Aquaman, The Huntress and Cyborg. Which are strange heroes to use since most of them had tenuous ties to Superman. (Well Aquaman was in the Justice League with Supes.)
I had heard to fan sites and rumor sites that we would be seeing more of the team-up aspect during this season. I am all for it. I even wished the Aquaman spin off had taken. Which is strange, seeing as it was the number one downloaded show on I-Tunes for several months.
The season started last week, no team-ups. Thats ok 21 more episodes.... Then the second episode premiered and BAM! Olive Queen, a.k.a. The Green Arrow. One of my favorite heroes fro DC comics. Not only was he in one episode, but the rumors talk about and extended stay for the archer. This makes me very happy. Rumors also have been circulating that Zantana ( Mistress of Magic) will be in this season.
The one character that is not being shown, or talked about is Batman. This would be a gold mine. I mean if ever there would be a spin off it would be Batman. A show detailing the travels of the young Bruce Wayne and his search for knowledge and skills. Think about it... A season in France were Bruce work closely with the French Detective that taught him to be a master crime investigator. Kinda a CSI meets Super Heroes. Then season two would be his training in in the orient to master skills of fighting. Season three would be in Japan were he was trained by ninjas and to build his gadgets. Season 4 would be back in the states maybe even crossing and with Smallville. Wow... that would be cool... Ok geek factor to high bring it down...
Ok here are other characters that I think Smallville would do well with... First we all know that the woman that he meet in the other-verse is Supergirl. No the rest of the list.... Blue Beetle or Booster Gold (for comedy value), Elongated Man (Come on another laugh a minute), bring The Flash back (season 2 or 3), Martian Manhunter (maybe not), Wonder Woman (come on another sexy woman). Ok my wish list now Smallville writers make it happen.... poof! nothing....
