    GOTHAM Gets Official Full Series Order at Fox

    I actually was less excited by the second episode.

    GOTHAM Gets Official Full Series Order at Fox

    I think I can say without getting too spoliery that we will see shades of evil, flavors of corruption, and power struggles within the bad guy camp. Also can say without getting too spoilery that in fact Gordon does change, at least a little, even over the course of just the first episode.

    GOTHAM Gets Official Full Series Order at Fox

    Maybe think of the city as the star of the show, instead of Gordon?

    GOTHAM Gets Official Full Series Order at Fox

    Pithy or not I agree with Crothian - the show is definitely about how Gotham goes from A to B ("A" place with no costumed heroes or villains, to "B"atman and friends). Also about how a good guy who initially really has no chance of changing the status quo builds key relationships that allow him...

    GOTHAM Gets Official Full Series Order at Fox

    So, Gotham is here. Any reactions? I liked what I saw so far. Very far from "teen angst". I do fear that as the table is set and we get closer and closer to Batman, it will be less satisfying.

    When are you supposed to tip (in America)?

    Ah yes. In the US, it's called "undocumented worker."

    September what are you reading?

    Listening to The Rift Walker (Vampire Empire 2): http://www.amazon.com/The-Rift-Walker-Vampire-Empire/dp/1616145234 Reading The Age Atomic: http://www.amazon.com/Age-Atomic-Adam-Christopher/dp/0857663143 They're both doing the trick, basically, but neither is what I would call stellar.

    [June] What are you watching?

    I'm in the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the third season of Angel. I'd never watched these before. Not too bad. I'm saving the final season of Warehouse 13 for a little later in the summer.

    Pitch me basic Marvel comics for middle school library

    Thank you much! I got similar suggestions when I asked on Facebook, so I take that as a good sign. :)

    Pitch me basic Marvel comics for middle school library

    I feel like I have a good bead on DC comics, but I would like to add 8-12 titles to a middle school library collection from Marvel. Let's say Avengers and X-Men - I don't really know where to start with these. Please pitch me a few titles that are recent or a series that has started or...

    How often have you gamed in the past year?

    About once a month; I'm playing in a Pathfinder game. I kinda lost my DMing mojo about four years ago; and as far as playing I am doing it really to pay back former players who endured my games, and for the fellowship/friendship moreso than the actual gaming.

    [May] What are you reading?

    I did the whole series as audiobooks; and as such I often didn't know how close I was to the end. I was in my car and Simon Vance just stops in the middle of a sentence. Boom! Punched in the gut. It really was over...

    GOTHAM Gets Official Full Series Order at Fox

    I think we can all agree on that. What I'll be searching for is a purpose beyond just setting the table. An interesting story about how Gotham City is different from other cities, and how it gets to be the way it is. How and why its criminals get so theatrical and strange. Why it ultimately...

    GOTHAM Gets Official Full Series Order at Fox

    It looks ok to me; I wonder if they will be able to constantly sustain a dark and heavy tone (or rather whether I will enjoy that). A show like this seems like very slowly setting the table for a banquet coming much later on (a banquet we won't even get to eat, mind you). I hope it has its...

    Skyrim mods

    Unofficial patches, as mentioned. I like the mods that add more sounds. But the one I'm really enjoying is companion mod Vilja in Skyrim. I had used the Vilja mod in Oblivion and it was very nice to have her hanging around with me again in Skyrim.

    [April] What Are You Reading?

    I'm in the middle of this and it's good. My current audiobook is The Martian - highly entertaining. http://www.audible.com/pd/Sci-Fi-Fantasy/The-Martian-Audiobook/B00B5HZGUG/ref=a_search_c4_1_1_srTtl?qid=1398870812&sr=1-1
