I was influenced by the blog of @knowltonsrangers and read the webcomic The Dreamer in a frenzy over the span of 24 hours, and while I have a LOT of opinions about it, one thing I have to say is that Alan’s letter to Beatrice in issue #13 was GORGEOUS. I literally haven’t stopped thinking of it for the past several days. I have extreme empathy for Beatrice falling in love with Alan now, because I too would have folded like a lawn chair. The last page of that issue will haunt me until I DIE

I was lucky enough to get to visit the Paley Archive in NYC recently, where I got to see a few TV pilots, TV movies, and other TV/radio texts that aren’t publicly available elsewhere. I had a great time—very much recommend paying a visit if you’re around the NYC area!!—and, excitingly, got to see a few of the above-mentioned objects that featured Alan Alda (wow!). Most of these were unsold TV pilots from the 60s (Where’s Everett (1966), The Laughmakers (1962)), some were episodes of serial TV programs that aren’t easily available elsewhere (The Doctors and the Nurses - Night Sounds (1963)), and some were TV movies or pilots-turned-TV-movies (6 Rms Riv Vu (1974), Higher and Higher: Attorneys at Law (1968)). I also checked out the pilot episode of the sitcom Alda wrote (We’ll Get By (1975)), which got a 12-episode run in 1975. I’ll be writing up brief summaries, more complete plot recountings, and minor Alda-specific notes for the majority of these on my blog—I’ll make a masterpost of links to each writeup after they’re all posted. That said, you can find the first post here, in which I summarize the unsold pilot of The Laughmakers (1962), about an improv comedy group in New York City in the 1960s.

If Ubisoft won't give us more modern day info then I think we should make AMA's of modern assassins/templars. I'm reading an AMA of an animal researcher and I keep imagining a templar talking about their work on the animus project.

July 2014. Dazzling Tula Lotay artwork for SUPREME BLUE ROSE, previewing the cover of #2 (above), and a page from that issue:

I don't even know how to summarize what's going on here because this series is a pastiche on a pastiche of a pastiche: a Warren Ellis revival of Alan Moore's SUPREME — an extended pastiche of/homage to the Silver Age Superman, and Silver Age DC more broadly, based on Rob Liefeld's '90s Superman pastiche/parody — framed as a pastiche of William Gibson's Blue Ant trilogy (PATTERN RECOGNITION, SPOOK COUNTRY, and ZERO HISTORY), and featuring some of the most jaw-dropping artwork I've seen in a modern comic book. It will probably not make any sense at all if you're not familiar with the things I've just named, but if you are, it is unaccountably, exceptionally good.

Play for Today: Psy-Warriors (BBC, 1981)

"A bomb scare at Aldershot. I see. Attributed to the Provisional IRA."

"They haven't claimed responsibility."

"What if the bomb had gone off?"

"Then the Provisional IRA would've claimed responsibility. Well, why not, eh? We help keep the terrorist's cause in the public eye and the terrorist helps us justify the need for greater security. What's called a symbiotic relationship, I believe."
