Back from the Grave!

Yeah. I've kind of let this blog lapse into mediocrity. Will try to do better. What have I been doing? Working, trying to write, treading water ... pretty much nothing major. Looking at the date of my last entry ... whoa, buddy. 2006! And I was bitching about X3! There have been two (superior) X-movies to come out since then, not to mention the explosion of the awesome Marvel movie franchise (spoiler alert: Captain America: Civil War was freaking amazing. It was everything Batman vs Superman wasn't, namely ... it was a good movie, something BvS most definitely was not.)

Let's see, I've changed jobs like twice since that post, moved probably three times (maybe four), but beyond that, not a lot has changed.

Huzzah.

So, while I don't have a lot of "life events" to discuss or gripe about or that sort of thing, I'll still try to actually post thoughts and the like here.

In regards to the entertainment landscape, everything has changed. It is an awesome time to be a comic's book fan. There is Batman with a Bow, the Flash, Agents of SHIELD, and that doesn't even take into account the awesome Marvel stuff on Netflix.

Since I'm starting mostly from scratch on this blog, I went ahead and removed everything that was previously here. In terms of likes and dislikes, I've changed quite a bit ... and I really have no interest in rehashing a lot of that ground.

Paladin Thoughts

In our Friday game, we're playing D&D 5E with a relatively new GM, with a fascinating campaign concept: the PCs are legendary heroes pulled from the past to deal with a great threat ... unfortunately, they were pulled from the timestream before they could become the legends. I decided that I would play a Paladin but wanted to do something slightly different and came up with a concept: the Traitor-Knight. Essentially, in his past-future, he would go on to become reviled by most of the populace due to his siding with the losers of the inevitable war that leads to the current status quo. But that's not what this post is really about. Instead, I wanted to throw out some interesting musings on Holy Knights like this.

Earthfall, Plot Outline

There are twenty planned chapters, five of which are going to be flashbacks. This is actually becoming my standard, I've noticed as "Fulcrum," "Vorticity" and "Aspects of Silver" all have that same technique baked into them. As outlines go, this probably one of my least figured out which honestly fills me with a great deal of trepidation about this.

Capaldi Leaving Who

I can't say that this surprises me - the sad part, for me anyway, is that he's had the potential to be great but the scripts have sucked terribly for him. Kind of weird that Moffat wrote some of my favorite Tennant Who eps but has kind of been a bust as showrunner. My expectation is that Capaldi's departure will be the death knell of the show. The SJW twits will get their way and the next Doctor will likely be a woman and long-time fans like me will tune out in droves. I have less trouble with the Doctor being a black guy, providing he's a guy . Sadly, the show already went off the rails with the Master regenerating into a woman (although to be fair, I've pretty much hated the modern incarnation of the Master since he first showed up in Tennant's run because he's been more Joker-like than Master-like.)
