Watching all of X-Men Evolution on Hulu, mostly because I can. It's also the X-Men animation I most enjoy (no, I haven't seen the newest one yet. Shhhhh.) because of the higher production value as compared to the older stuff. What can I say? I like my animation somewhat smooth. I also like the stylization - it's amusingly not the same as Batman: TAS, and yet the comparison is inevitable for so many reasons.

I also caught up on the Astonishing X-Men action comic. Gosh, I remember when I first saw these, when the Crossgen company was promoting Sojourn on AOL. (I feel old) I used to watch them avidly. This was before I was really reading comics seriously, so I don't think I totally understood Crossgen at that point, and I didn't totally get everything, but I enjoyed it. It's kinda funny that the form seems to be making a sudden surge now, but they do translate better to portable platforms (iphones, anyone?) better than real comics ever could.

So, I saw the new Star Trek movie about a week ago.

I should note now that both of my parents are Star Trek fans, and I grew up watching the occasional rerun of TOS and TNG, and I recall managing to sneak in many late nights while my parents were distracted by Voyager and DS9. (and Law and Order and The Practice, but that's another story)

So I have an itty bit of background in Star Trek, but very little.

But I loved the movie!

And now for the fandom end of things.

P.S. THIS is where slash fanfic probably began. And it got it's own Wikipedia article. I will now laugh forever and ever.

So, have you ever watched a television show where there's someone on death row and the lawyers (or Project Innocence) launch an appeal? (I just recently watched the episodes of The Practice and Bones with this basic premise)

( And then this frustrates me )
