Happy anniversary, chaps!

According to Newsarama, here's the revised schedule: Wolverine #72: 20 May Wolverine #73: 13 May Wolverine #74: 27 May Wolverine #75: 17 June Giant-Size Old Man Logan: ?

The Dalek time machine was much more accurate than the TARDIS, so this time he had the means to send them home. Even so, I don't see what that has to do with them making a family.

Though it's not impossible that Ian and Barbara got together once home, the Doctor returned them because they demanded it. Starting a family had nothing to do with it.

Thank you, kindly!

Unlike BTAS and the other shows so far, there just isn't a lot to say about Zeta. That doesn't mean it's a bad show, but there isn't a lot of depth to it, which means our reviews are shorter. And the last Zeta-centric episode of WFP is 56. Thanks for pointing that out, Graham. That was something I meant to mention but forgot.

From the official Facebook page:

Just watched the first episode, and I have one word: WOW!

Fixed.

I never said I wanted my hand held throughout the book. If I recall, I said I wanted "some handholding," just a little exposition to help guide me through.

That's fine if you have the time, money and desire, but we're not doing that. We're reviewing one book, not all of the trades (or episodes) that came before. Personally, I think it's a cop-out to say we didn't like it because we don't know the rich history of the franchise. This story wasn't any good, no matter how you slice it. The plot was thin, the B story came out of (and went) nowhere, the witty dialog didn't work, and I really didn't care about the characters.

Nope. I'll Netflix that shortly.

What happened in the issue?

No. We've gone 52 episodes, building our dynamic along the way. Adding a third person now would not only disrupt said dynamic, but would drastically change the show. And I'm not up for that.

Going into any long-running comic, I understand I might not fully grasp the subtle character dynamics, that some jokes will go over my head, and certain subplots will leave me curious. But that doesn't mean the writer should neglect new readers when it comes to such things. One or two lines of exposition will do the trick. Now, the story: yes, we're coming into the "eighth season," but this is a book with a beginning, middle and end. Did the characters and world exist beforehand? Yes. Will their stories continue afterward? Yes. But the volume itself should feel like a complete, satisfying story. Anyone should be able to pick it up, understand what's going on and enjoy it. That's the point. This missed the point.

Just finished Firefly. Brilliant show that I'm mad I missed years ago. I think my favorite episodes are Shindig and Out of Gas, followed by Heart of Gold, Jaynestown and Our Mrs. Reynolds.

Though it's sad to hear that Moore's writing wasn't successful, you did an excellent job explaining why it let you down.

Wonderful read, Des!

Thanks, jakob, and welcome to the forums!

That has to be unintentional... right?

Dan, how did you miss that?

HA! James and I posted almost the same thing at the same time! :laugh:

No doubt, but I thought the idea of the thread was to suggest a podcast for James and I to do together after WFP.

I would be all over a Star Trek podcast, but I don't think James is a fan.

Des and I reviewed Station #2 in Earth-2.net: The Show 257. If I recall, it wasn't that good.
