The new Torchwood writing team: John Shiban, Doris Egan, Jane Espenson and John Fay, Excellent. You have a lot of writers from good shows up there. Also announced was some of the details about the new show. Mainly, this ten-episode series will contain the same kind of serialized story that Children of Earth did and that this will be called, fittingly enough, The New World.

It looks like Survivor is jumping the shark: http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2010/08/09/129080815/-survivor-has-officially-lost-all-faith-in-its-elegantly-simple-concept In the beginning, I at least admired the idea even if I didn't watch the show. This has gotten all convoluted.

Green Lantern 2 has a writer. The word is that they're going to start filming 2 AND 3 before the first one is even out. That's pretty gutsy though it is nice to see them have that much faith in what they're doing.

There is a new 3D animated Tarzan movie in the works.

20th Century Fox has acquired the film rights to writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven's graphic novel "Nemesis," with Tony Scott directing and Scott Free producing. *sighs* Yeah. I took Kick Ass for what it was. Nemesis is pretty much a blatant 'moar extreeeme' take on that and really, exemplifies everything I don't like about comics right now. I'm out.

Jane Badler is joining "V" in a reoccuring role. It seems in this "V" Diana is Anna's mother. Wow, would not want to be in that family.

I'm with you on "Nemesis". I read the first issue and it just isn't even trying to be good.

No. It wasn't trying to be good. It was trying to be salable. Which it seemingly managed to do easily.

True, but if there is any justice in this world number 2 will see a serious drop in sales.

Well, it scored the big sale, which was the movie rights. I think that's all he's writing for these days anyway...
