Interesting but no deal
Jan. 5th, 2012 10:25 pmBecause I love post-apocalyptic fiction in almost any form, I thought I would give The Colony a watch. And watch I did - the entire first season in one marathon sitting. As a series that didn't pretend to be a reality series, it might have worked quite well but, given its self-claimed "reality" label, it was no go for me. The solutions were so elaborate with always the right part / ingredient / resource / location just around the corner, it was all too easy and smooth - not one project failed in the entire series? Really?

My kind of two-pack
Oct. 12th, 2011 11:51 pmWalking Dead Comic Series 1 Previews Exclusive Zombie 2-Pack - now this would look good on my desk at work.
Even better rewatch
Oct. 10th, 2011 09:22 pmSpent the day watching Survivors (2008) - Series 2. I really liked S2 - but there was no way you could have had a clue what was happening unless you had watched S1 and that's probably why it got cancelled - there was no way it could have picked up new viewers.
Great ending - just wish it hadn't finished there. I am almost tempted to see if there is any S3 fanfic!

Good re-watch
Oct. 8th, 2011 11:13 pmSpent most of the day watching Survivors (2008) - Series 1 - heresy though it may be, this is as good as the original although I have to pretend that the original is a different series altogether. Part of the original's charm is the utter lack of knowledge of any explanation for the pandemic - it just happens and sweeps all before it.
Ironically, part of the charm of the 2008 re-make is the effort to explain a little of how and why (especially in S2) - it just means that the original and the re-make have completely different feels to them and focus on different perspectives.

Finally got my copy of Walking Dead HC Vol. 07 - I know what I'll be reading for the next few hours.
