The Lost Overture
It’s not completely dead, but it’s getting there.
I’m talking about the lost art of cool opening credits for a TV show.

Travis Made a Meme!
Travis is snowed in but made this little Venture Bros. related meme from the news last week. Enjoy and feel free to share!
In Defense of Reverence
If a character’s lasted for decades before you got your hands on them, there’s usually a reason for that. And it’s usually because the creators did something — or several somethings — right. So it makes sense to consider exactly what made the character successful in the first place before you translate them to the screen.
Everything We Know About ‘American Gods’
After having written about old stuff from the 1960s-90s recently, it’s nice to get back to being excited about new stuff, though this is one I’ve been excited about for a good long while; ever since I read American Gods and its sequel, Anansi Boys, I’ve kept an eye out for news about its inevitable film production. Following the success of Game of Thrones, Neil Gaiman’s book was picked up as a TV series, first briefly by HBO, and later by Starz.
Time After Time (After Time)
What if H.G. Wells chased Jack the Ripper through time? John talks about Nicholas Meyer’s 1979 movie TIME AFTER TIME and checks out the new TV series.
OK, I May Have Overpraised ‘Saturday Night Live’
Saturday Night Live kept Travis from getting a real post up, as he had to watch and find that he’d overpraised the show before now!
John Byrne’s STAR TREK Shout-Outs!
Last week, I talked about STAR TREK: NEW VISIONS, the photomontage comics series of Star Trek adventures that John Byrne is doing for IDW.
But before John Byrne got a regular gig telling STAR TREK stories, he was just like the rest of us – A STAR TREK fan who’d occasionally make reference to it in his everyday life. It just so happened that Byrne’s everyday life was as a popular writer/artist of comic books. So I thought it’d be fun to see how many ST references I could pick out of Byrne’s classic comic book work.
