The Ninth Corps


In brightest day, in blackest night,
Not my problem, I’ll be alright;
No cause you name is worth a fight,
Though if I’m bored, then yeah, I might.

They even have t-shirts. Oh, and here's the ring design.

(Explanation, sort of, here.)

Just One More Watchmen Post?

Watchmen Back Story Unspools in Under the Hood DVD

Long Wired article/interview about all the features of the Black Freighter DVD. It looks great and includes a bunch of things that had to be left out of the 2.5 Hour movie.

I hope I get time to read this article.

WTF-edness

Umm...

Oh my...

YES.

Just... go. GO.

98% Of Babies Manic-Depressive

NEW YORK—A new study published in The Journal Of Pediatric Medicine found that a shocking 98 percent of all infants suffer from bipolar disorder. "The majority of our subjects, regardless of size, sex, or race, exhibited extreme mood swings, often crying one minute and then giggling playfully the next," the study's author Dr. Steven Gregory told reporters. "Additionally we found that most babies had trouble concentrating during the day, often struggled to sleep at night, and could not be counted on to take care of themselves—all classic symptoms of manic depression." Gregory added that nearly 100 percent of infants appear to suffer from the poor motor skills and impaired speech associated with Parkinson's disease.

Fuller and Star Trek?

Bryan Fuller, creator of the excellent Dead Like Me and even better Wonderfalls and even better Pushing Dasies, would like to create a new Star Trek series.

"I would love to return to the spirit of the old series with the colors and attitude. I loved Voyager and Deep Space Nine, but they seem to have lost the ‘60s fun and I would love to take it back to its origin." (From an iF Magazine interview.)

"I would love to do it in the same era as the J.J. Abrams movie, but on another starship on a completely different adventure. But it really is a dream and there is nothing official about it at all." (From Ain't It Cool News.)

Fuller wrote for both DS9 and Voyager, and produced Voyager's final season, which was the best one since Jeri Taylor stepped back from being in charge.

And, hell, if Fuller's great original series don't stick around for long (Although they should!), maybe a Fuller run Star Trek can.
