Next Saturday marks the return of the BBC’s Robin Hood. Nearly all my fandom friends watch, so it will be good to have another shared fandom again. Though we lost some cast members after S2, we will get some new faces to love (or hate), so that should freshen things up a bit. I don’t know how much of the accepted legend will be followed, but I’m truly not bothered by the liberties the show takes; it works well enough for me!

Eureka in Spring?
So word on the street (oh, alright, message boards) is that new episodes of Eureka will air starting April 23. They are calling it Season 3.5. This fits with what Colin talked about during Comic Con, so perhaps there is truth to the rumors. I’ve been following S.A.R.A.H. on twitter to get news (even before I had my own twitter account), but there hasn’t been any hard news yet. The new season, by all accounts, is to begin in July, so I really think we’ll get more eps sooner rather than later.
It was another meager week in fandom, but the double makeovers Wednesday night on ANTM and Make Me A Supermodel were at least something to ponder. I love ANTM as much as the next fan who’s willing to admit even watching, but the production value of the two shows is never more apparent than in the makeover episodes. Even though London and Mountaha received pretty much the same style and color, the subtle variations of Mountaha’s look make her appear far more upscale than ANTM‘s London. It’s the little things that make such a difference. Ahhh, sweet, beautiful people.
Camelot in Summer
Coming Soon.net is reporting that Merlin will finally make it’s stateside debut this summer on NBC. In typical fandom style, it has a crappy (Sunday night) slot. At least we’ll be able to watch, if we remember, starting June 21, 2009.
Watchmen–check.
I can love a movie right up until the big reveal of the villain’s plan or motivation, then I just start to tune out. It’s happened with several movies over the years, and Watchmen was no exception. Loved the backstories, loved the bit of mystery, loved the feel, then BAM! We find out the who and why, and I’m OUT. I started walking around, not paying attention, and generally not caring about what was happening. Still, it was a good movie. Not my favorite, but certainly better than that other superhero movie people loved last year.
