dahob.jpgIt’s great to be home with Da Hob!! I’m still collecting random thoughts about Dragon*Con. I’ll edit this post whenever they come to me. They’ll be in green, just so you know :wink2:.

SG-1 is going to be a Lucian Alliance ep next week….snore. Damn, I hate that whole storyline. A lot. This week’s ep was actually entertaining on many levels. I know the Daniel/Vala shippers are over the moon and Vala fans have to be happy for her getting her patches (JUST LIKE MINE!). SGA was good, but boring as can be. Next week looks to be a little better. Entertainment Weekly just put out the Fall TV guide, and all I can say is, “Thank goodness for cable!” In looking at the new shows, the only ones halfway appealing to me are on NBC, which due to FCC rules, I can’t get, so, YAY! I’ll get to go to bed as soon as I come home from work most nights! Hee!

Stars seen in non-panel situations: Virginia Hey (many times), Mickey Rooney (elevator ride), Kavan Smith (escalator ride), Anson Williams, Donnie Most, Kiran Shah (bar), Dean Haglund–Langly from Lone Gunmen fame (lobby), Rip Taylor (dinner).

Total amount of shwag: SG-1 Tee, Pirate print mug, “Bliss” White Flower Lei (By Virginia Hey) candle, Grima Wormtongue LOTR figure. Autograph pics of : Cliff Simon, Don S. Davis, Peter Mayhew, David Prowse, Virginia Hey, George Takei.**D’oh! Official Dragon*Con logo Tee.

Also: Items left in hotel room: Shampoo (from home) and my In Dreams shower cream. Dang it!

Heroes

3 Comments

Before I forget (again), I want to pimp a new show from NBC debuting this Fall. Heroes is about a random group of people who begin to develop/realize supernatural powers. I’ve seen the first episode *whistles innocently* and I think it can grow to become one helluva good show. It’s much more story-driven than the teaser vignettes would have us think, and there is a mysterious undercurrent that really makes me want to see more.I have a sneaking suspicion the ep was leaked by the creators, a la LOST, to get some buzz going for the show. I haven’t seen much said about it yet, but I really think you should try to catch it when it airs.

SG-1 was pretty good this week. Adria, while amazingly gorgeous, just screams “Glory” to me (Buffy reference). If she had an English accent, I think she’d be just right, but that’s just my opinion. Shep’s new best friend on SGA is awesome! He has surpassed everyone save Ronon and Lizzie as my favorite character on the show. I hope we see him again and again.

EDIT:  Just because I really like the three shiny new pics used, new (and default) theme: Up Front.

Well, it really is for the best…

I’m so late on the uptake. Apparently, Blood Canticle actually is Anne Rice’s last story of the Vampire Chronicles as well as the Mayfairs. I’m very disappointed in the latter. I also read on MSNBC that NBC is making a miniseries based on The Witching Hour. No comment. Just….no….comment. *sigh*
