* I ordered S9 of Stargate SG-1. Yeah, yeah, I know, I still don't have seasons 2-8 but with S9, they basically rebooted the whole franchise with the Ori saga and if I want to understand what's going on in the movies... I know that there's the small featurette "The Road Taken" on the The Ark of Truth DVD but to sum up two seasons in 10 minutes... Nya, nya. Besides, I need to get to know the characters of Mitchell and Vala first.
* I started translating Michael Williams' "Galen Beknighted". Well, ugh. I wasn't all that excited about the prequel - "Weasel's Luck" - so I'm crossing fingers here that this book is better - but I don't really hold my breath, to be honest.
* And they picked up 90210 for a full season. Good for its fans. But Ostroff's words don't really fill me with confidence where SPN is concerned: "The successful addition of 90210 has taken The CW another step forward in building a cohesive schedule that defines this network as a destination for young women with shows that get our audience talking -- and watching." I bet that she had a cow when she saw the 64% spike in women 18-49 for SPN's premiere.

And I've always loved Adam (One of the few times I was rooting for the guy I liked) the thing with Ben was interesting - becasue it's also explaines why he reacted so badly in the last book. He had his control taken away.
The book with Charles and Anna has a lot of Bran in it.

At the end of Iron Kissed I made up a conversation between Adam and Bran starting with "Adam, you know that you're an ass, right?"

Date: 2008-09-23 09:04 pm (UTC)Basically a new story line yeah but a kinda bad one. Ori are just... and the way they're handled it's just you completely want to smack them half the time. *argh*
