Cool podcast on Rod Serling / Twilight Zone

[Ubik]

I definitely want to see this. Where did you see it? Any idea if it's available on streaming services yet?...

[Ubik]

I think he's well liked by sections of fandom, but perhaps hasn't got the reputation and sales of some of the bigger names in mainstream comics. I'm thinking here of people like Bryan K Vaughan, Brian Bendis, Ed Brubaker, Warren Ellis, Grant Miorrison, etc. I'm not sure JMS has really had that career...

[Ubik]

Ah, that's a shame. Whilst the book held zero interest for me (I felt much of the material was already repeated and spread pretty thin in the previous volumes), I was fairly excited about the promised audio drama. Oh well....

[Ubik]

Jason, cheers for the clarification and also cheers for being very upfront about what this IS and ISN"T. I like that it's presented with minimal hyperbole and I dig the general concept. Good luck with it

[Ubik]

Cool idea. I'l be watching this with interest, and may consider backing it.

I don't know if Jason can answer questions here, or if indeed he is checking in on the forums? I would have posted a comment / question on the Kickstarter but this is not an option unless you have backed it already....

[Ubik]

I wonder.......

Enjoyed it. It did what it needed to, and I thought the 3 act structure made the bloated 3 hour run time zip by.

I thought the time travel plot line was a bit thin, but they were going to need some kind of rewind button to resurrect the Avengers back from the...

[Ubik]

Yeah, I should try be more positive / withold judgement there, but their business model and proposed titles made me instantly think 'not for me'! Oh well, let's hope JMS puts out something that proves me wrong. I am a bit burned out on superhero stuff tbh. I don't keep up with comics like I used to,...

From the ever reliable Imaginary Worlds podcast. If you haven't checked this podcast out, it's my favourite podcast going right now. Always thought provoking and well researched. Plus Eric Molinsky has a voice made for radio, I find a lot of people that do nerdier podcasts grate on my ears after 5 mins....

Also, someone via Twitter quizzing JMS on if this might be linked to a Supreme...

Like I am going to listen to a doctor concerning what I eat!...

Made bagna cauda years ago, it's so freaking tasty. Crusty bread is the way forward. You can put a hint of lemon juice in it to balance the richness a bit.

[Ubik]

Cheers Alpha! Sensing we don't have two news mega fans or anything of that ilk. Nice that they gave the show a chance and enjoyed it....

[Ubik]

Yeah, also curious to know what their final verdict was? As viewers used to more modern TV, did they find it dated in any way?...

[Ubik]

Wait, no tears? No emotional overtures? Sleeping in Light always gets me....

Babylon 5: Electric Boogaloo ...

S2 was great. Pushed the show into a new gear and did some great character work. And the FX this season, just wow. Some of it looked better than the recent Trek films. Epic in scale. I hope this season shut up the whinging old school Trek fans who can't seem to accept that shows need to evolve.
