- I bought new comics today, including #2 of Milo V's Rest, and I swear, the art still terrifies me. It's kind of making it difficult for me to assess whether it's actually any good.

- There's going to be a live-action TV show based on the comic Powers! This really excites me, even though I'm concerned they won't do it justice. Powers was the series that got me into comics, and I always wondered if they'd adapt it. If they did it right, it could be an awesome dark Justice League/Heroes fusion. Unh, I'm going to be all over this when it comes out.

- This. (The first set of pictures in the post.) This is just the best Heroes photoshoot ever. I just. *flails* By the way, this one is my favourite. What I'd do for a hi res, non-watermarked set.

- I really want to get volume one of the Middleman graphic novels, but look how much it's selling for. D:

- I have updated my profile, replete with me a picture of me sitting upside down in a chair reading a book on the Nazis. Yeah, I don't know.

- I have lots more reading to do for my history lesson tomorrow, and I don't wanna. :(

1) Comment to this and I will give you 3 people.
2) Post this meme with your answers.
3) Provide pictures and the names of 3 people.
4) Label which you would marry, shag, and throw off a cliff.

Marry-
Michael Bluth

I reckon Michael would be a pretty devoted husband, and you know, my craziness would seem like nothing compared to his family. Also? He's adorable! ♥

Shag-
Nathan Petrelli

I love love love Nathan, but fuck, I would not marry him. That would be a bad marriage. I would, however, shag him. A lot. :D

Throw off a cliff-
Topher Brink

By virtue of not being Michael and Nathan, I'd have to be throwing Topher off a cliff. Sorry, Topher.

AND THEN GIVE ME NOTHING AFTER TWO FUCKING WEEKS

I kind of thought they would, since they always seem to skip an episode for the really interesting cliffhangers, but DAMMIT, after two weeks? I think me and the show need to have that talk now. And if it hadn't been for DAPHNEWTF, then this episode would have been pretty much perfect, even with the lack of Nathan and Claire.

I kind of thought they would

COULDN'T YOU HAVE WARNED ME THEN? Damn. Be a friend.

Stupid goddamn Heroes. We have a love/hate relationship at this point. Two weeks is too fucking long. And if they had actually aired this weeks episode last week like they should have then we would be basking in Nathan/Claire interaction. SO DAMN YOU, NBC! You and your fucking scheduling.

And if it hadn't been for DAPHNEWTF, then this episode would have been pretty much perfect

Damn. Why did Daphne have to die? I hope Tracey isn't dead. I'm not attached to her character but I don't want two female characters to die in the same episode. If Tracey bites it then that pretty much leaves Claire and Angela with the occasional appearance from Sandra.

COULDN'T YOU HAVE WARNED ME THEN?

I DIDN'T WANT TO BRING YOU DOWN.

It really really sucks how the show treat their female characters - pretty much only Daphne and Monica were the only ones who weren't one extreme or the other and were actually relatable (I love Claire, but goddamn woman, stop whining) , and if they bring Monica back just to kill her, I will fucking cry. I'm pretty sure Tracy isn't dead though - they said one of the deaths was a fake out, and Larter's said she's definitely staying in the show. They could just bring in Barbara instead, but I'm really hoping they won't, that would kind of suck.

Fine. It's not like you could have won anyways. I would have found a way to bitch. If you would have said something, I would call you cruel for taking me away from my sweet, sweet denial land.

If they give Ali another character then it's going to turn into a running joke. Because seriously how many characters can one actor play on a show? Or does Niki's mom have the biggest womb ever and popped out a dozen blonde babies?

And I don't usually get into feminist issues because they usually fly right over my head but damn if Heroes doesn't suck ass. I love Claire more for what she use to be then what she is now. And Angela is Angela. 'Nuff said but she isn't exactly someone you can connect to. And I either never really connected to the other female characters or they are currently deader than dead. Surely, humans of the XX variety are not that alien. We're people too.

This is what I was trying to avoid.

I used to mostly ignore feminist issues in fandom too, but recently it's becoming really obvious in Heroes. All the women seem to be weak and unstable or a bitch with or without a heart of gold. Or, you know, they're just poorly developed bit characters. I love all the men, obviously, but I wish it wasn't always so male-driven. It's a problem with a lot of shows though, people can't seem to write female characters and stick with tired clichés.

Uh, how do I get down from this soapbox?
