I forgot how ridiculous Quantum Leap can get. Tremendous.

Right? Unfortunately, in the final season the ridiculousness overcame the actual emotional connection and storytelling. It was one thing to have Sam adjusting to being a woman and have to navigate a corporate world full of sexual harassment, but it was another thing entirely to have Sam leap into a guy who may or may not be a vampire.

World War Z is apparently getting seven weeks of reshoots. Should've never deviated from the book form, you jackanapes.

It's still gonna blow. PG-13 zombie war movie? Fuck the fuck off.

Yep. Really bad sign. I hope it still turns out fine, though.

The moment I heard it was going from the format Brooks had in the books to a typical 'OH NOES, ZAWMBEEZ EATIN MAH NOSE' movie, I all but checked out. Such a good book, but the movie will be straight garbage.

Loved the Touch finale. If the show had ended there, I would've been happy. Looking forward to where they go next season, and hopefully...

... it's not the last we've seen of Titus Welliver's character.

[Ruki]

Season 2, episode 6 of The Wire....

Dee!

RIP

[Baddar]

The Touch finale was so, so good.

It was fantastic all the way through, one mediocre episode aside.

[Benji]

Yeah, that one episode was trite, but outside of that it was a great first series. Here's hoping the second doesn't suffer from Heroesism.

[Jimmy]

The Twin Peaks Season 2 finale.

What the fuck did I just watch?

Incredible.

But what.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Bad news, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes fans! (.. me, Benji, that one guy)

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes won't be renewed for the 3rd Season. Marvel Animation will present their newly developed series Marvel's Avengers Assemble in 2013.

That's from a print-only Marvel press release.

Bummer.

Bummer.

More in line with the movieverse I am sure

[Benji]

More likely in line with Ultimate Spider-Man's TV universe.

[Nick Adams]

Yeah, it's probably gonna' tie in with Ultimate Spider-Man. Although if it's actually modeled after the Avengers Assemble Marvel comic series, that would be kind of cool.

[Baddar]

So, the Alcatraz finale...

It was a great episode, and sets up season two perfectly.

Well, it would, if it was actually getting a season two. :/

[Ruki]

The Wire, season 2, episode 8.

Man, as much of a fuck up as Ziggy is, I kinda feel sorry for the guy

[MalaCloudy Black]

That's the mockup of an Avengers Assemble poster.

Also, in more cartoon news, Cartoon Network is adding a new Teen Titans show to their DC Nation saturday morning block. It's being billed as "action-comedy" and I believe is being done by the same people that do the current (awesome) Teen Titans shorts on DC Nation, so I'll probably start watching that as well.

And now, veering so far off the course that I may as well be screaming "O'DOYLE RULES!":

The Wire, Season 1, Episode 12

I get the feeling Wallace is going to be making it out of this season alive. Bummer. I really like him.

[Jimmy]

I'm only four episodes into Breaking Bad and I'm really into the show. Not many shows are able to pull at my heart strings like this show, it's very emotional. It helps the acting is completely top notch.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Apparently they're in the early process of creating Scream the television series.

I love Scream, but I'm really not sure how this is going to turn out if it goes through.

[Damian WayLNKe]

Hopefully it's like Harper's Island.
