I bought Gotham Knight in a double pack with Batman Begins. I really enjoyed it, I liked all of the stories, unlike The Animatrix.

K-9 is mostly absent from TSJA because he's getting his own show.

Heh, loved your Bad Wolf joke. Was the one on Lee's shirt in a different language.

So happy to see a new Vlog form you guys!

- On the Batman show from the 60's, guys, I hate it with a passion! And as far as the movie goes, just the image of batman running around the pier with a silly bomb that's "on the verge of exploding" for like half an hour...Geez. Sorry, I'm a grumpy old bitch. ;)

- I liked Dr. Horrible, especially the first two episodes. I kinda think they lost their hand a bit on the third, which was more depressing than funny, but I LOVED Neil Patrick Harris. I know of him mostly from what I read on the internet, as none of his shows have had a particularly wide exposure in Brazil, but I really grew to love Dr. Horrible quite quickly. Nathan Fillion was hilarious as well!

- Red Son is an impressive piece of work, but I think the treatment of Wonder Woman on that book is unexcusable! Really, it's SO Mark Millar I don't even know why I was surprised, but still...

That series spawned some WAY COOL action figures, though!

- Kodos is ADORABLE! He seemed a bit camera-shy, but I guess you guys must've put too much pressure on his first outing...lol

Another GREAT episode, guys, congratulations!

Best,

J.

P.S.: Don't know if you'll include dogs from comics on your list, but #1 from the WE3 book MUST make the list!

"I walk with dignity. I step with pride."

Nice meeting you last week Marc (at the OutTraveler event on Thursday). Hope you enjoyed being recognized!

Have you guys heard of a musical called [title of show]? I think you'd love it, even if you're not really into Broadway. It's pretty much a musical tribute to gay geekdom (one character collects playbills but only from obscure Broadway flops) and the creative process. The plot is very meta (its about writing a show that is the show that you are seeing right now) and the dialogue is very Whedonesqe. You should def review it for your blog.

Oh and there's a song called "Die Vampire, Die" in it.

Great to have you back guys. And with a new addition to the family. Kodos is so very cute.

Lots of stuff in the last three weeks. Three weeks people, what gives?

Loved this four past episodes of DW. But Midnight just took the price for me. I also used the word fun to describe it and someone kindly informed me: it was disturbing, not fun. But thats what made it fun for me. Leave it to RTD to put such a heavy commentary on human nature and make it so fun. 

Apart from Sky (wasnt Lesley Sharp fantastic?), the episode was very gay coded. Betty Boop and Rafaella Carra?. I saw it with a couple of gay friends and the moment Rafaella Carra poped up on the crafts TV we just bursted out laughing in unison. I reckon that was a definite nod to european and latinamerican gays since she is such a HUGE gay icon. I dont think that was a coincidence.

I cant really say anything about Journeys End, but Stolen Earth was real fun. One thing that just didnt do it for me was this Rose centric storyline, Ive never been a fan of Rose, so aside from that it was great.  

Dr. Horrible was great too. I hear all this talk about the last episode being a downer. But that was the point, wasnt it? Neil Patrick Harris really did shine on this one. I hear some are trying to get it to the CW, but that is a fan movement. It would be interesting to see if this experiment Whedon tried to make will work.

The Dark Knight was great. Best superhero movie Ive seen in a while.

Still working on the challenge.

Im going to go on a limb and am probably totally wrong but maybe the list has to do with simpsons characters or matt groening characters because of the way you said "Snowball"...

so I heard:

1.) Snowball (Lisa's cat)

2.) Zap Brannigan

3.) Kodos (Kang's significant other)

4.) Cookie [Kwan] (Number one on the West side!) * I luv Cookie*

....and thats what I heard...im probably way off 

Also I like the Bad Wolf's popping up everywhere, indeed Rose is up to her old tricks I see.

thanks for another great Vlog guys!

Billie Piper said that a few days before filming started she freaked out a little bit about being able to do the voice again after so long. Maybe she just was over-thinking it and thats why it sounds a bit off.

MGC I think it's cats. Snowball of course, Mr. Bigglesworth, Azrael, Schrodinger's cat, Catwoman, Midnight, Lion-O, Stimpy and um...the caty snark of Stargate Atlantis?

There's been a wierd amount of DHSAB backlash on certain parts of the internet. A few people screaming about how *dare* Joss write a 45-minutes film with less-then-spectacular female character development. I think they were missing the point, that it was an homage of supervillian backstories, not a pastiche, and that every character in the whole thing, aside from Horrible, was simply a stock character there to fulfil a specific role in that story. It wasn't supposed to be about all of them, just him.

This is why I have to stay away from certain parts of the internet.

Oh, and the 4th Doctor and 2nd Romana were never explicitly in a relationship. Tom baker and Lala Ward were married soon afterwards, they had excellent chemistry, and a lot of people read into it, but they were never officially a couple.

But the Doctor's definitely been married once, at least, and has at least one child. Never happened on screen, but the 10th Doctor's referenced it once or twice, and the first companion ever was his grandaughter.

Hooray, you're back.

And with an adorable puppy too. 

I've missed your vlog even though I have no idea what you're talking about most of the time except, of course, for Doctor Who. Talking about the Doctor's relationships, in the very first series with William Hartnell he had his granddaughter Susan with him so I imagine he had been married but I don't think they mention who Susan's parents are.  
 I can't wait to hear what you think of the last two episodes, I especially loved the next episode 'the stolen earth'. Oh, and how could you put Scooby Doo before K9?

I'll second (or third or fourth?) the hearty welcome back.  I've missed my weekly dose of sci-fi snarkiness!

Marc are you SURE about Romana and the Doctor being in a relationship?  They were both Time Lords, but I don't remember them actually being involved.  What I do remember is that Tom Baker married Lalla Ward, the actress who played Romana after she regenerated.

I guess I need to buck the trend a bit in saying that I was a bit disappointed in "Midnight."  Don't know why exactly... just didn't do it for me.  Although for some reason I DO love that RTD made Tennant and Lesley Sharp memorize Pi to 30 decimal places... and then recite it simultaneously.  That should be outlawed by the Geneva Conventions as inhumane treatment of actors!

"Turn Left," however, was a great episode.  I love how Catherine Tate manages to show the "never met the Doctor" Donna as her original shallow, self-centered Donna and really show how the Doctor manages to bring out the best in his companions... although I think you do see a bit of that character growth in Donna by the end of the episode as well.  I guess it's the situations that the Doctor places his companions in that forces their growth and in a normal life, Donna would have never been given that chance to grow.  Can't wait for your review of the episode that just aired here in the States.

Can't comment on "The Dark Knight" since I haven't seen it yet, but I'm definitely planning to.  I guess I'm with Lee on this one in that I never got into Batman that much (more of a Marvel guy myself... except for the Flash who I guess I had a bit of a crush on growing up!)

Congrats on the new mascot.  I'm more of a cat person myself having just adopted two more cats from the ASPCA (so THANKS for this week's challenge!), but Kodos looks SOOO cute!

You have been missed, and a big welcome to Kodos! Great vlog, as always - I can't wait to hear your takes on the final Doctor Who episodes of the season. Love the "Awesome Dogs" list (and thank you for not mentioning Scrappy Doo), but I have to stand up for my favorite that didn't make the list:

Bandit deserves mention, if only for the fact that he's the watchdog of the first gay interracial family of cartoons. Besides, how many other dogs on the list can water-ski and scuba dive, not to mention swim for help to rescue his family? Bandit rules!
