Just read this month's issues of:

Season 8 of Buffy ( Oh, the art was gorgeous this month! And I can't get over the fact that Xander looks like, you know, Xander. (Dawn, sadly, does not. *sigh*) Also, zombies! Lots and lots of zombies! Zombies are nice, yes. And the plot's moving along nicely. AND ANDREW, OMG, I'D MISSED HIM.) and Runaways (Yayz for Old Lace and Chase interaction! Nico is still a bitch! Molly goes on being adorable! And yaaaaay for Surprise Superhero Guest! It sounds like a fun arc, probably a break after the angst (*criez*) of the last one.)

You know, I was worried about Joss Whedon writing both comics at the same time (for non comic fans in my flist, i.e. mostly everyone: Yep, the master himself is back, and writing a bazillion things o_O), but it seems like I didn't have much to worry about. Granted, Runaways hasn't been as good since You-Know-Who died (*criez*), but such is life, I guess. And I can't wait for Angel and Spike to show up in Buffy. *grabby hands* JOSS BETTER DON'T RUIN EVERYTHING, THOUGH. I'd be reaaaal mad if that were the case.

Doctor Who 3x02 - The Shakespeare Code: Hehe, I loved Shakespeare, he's such a rock star and a swaggering bastard and I like it XD And he was a genious, and I loved seeing the Doctor finally meeting someone he recognizes as an intellectual equal (Nine was such a fanboy of Dickens, but it didn't come near this degree of fanboyness...) The whole 'words have power' pretty much made me go a;lsdjljasd because it's such a wonderful concept, oh yes.

The part with the psychic paper and starting from scratch and 'no, you can't have an autograph or have a sketch drawn with me' was awesome XD. Cassie from Hex was a greaaaat choice as a the monster of the week. The bed scene was great and I liked that mention of Rose. The second one felt a bit trite and overused. *shrug* Go Martha for being bitchy at the guy that swept you off your feet talking non-stop about the ex!

THE DOCTOR CRIED WITH BOOK 7. ;ALSDJFALSKJDF. EXPELIARMUS SAVING THE WORLD. A;LASDLFJ. I KNEW THE DOCTOR WAS A CLOSET HP FAN. So, yes. PURE WIN!

Don't diss the Nico. I like the Nico. (In fact, I like all of the Runaways. They're cool.)

RE: BtVS S8? I don't know; I mean, they're cool, yes, but I'm waiting for the next few parts before I judge.

I dunno, it's almost like, dunno, tradition or something for me not to like her XD Curiously enough, Chase is my favorite of them, but I actually like (most of) them very much.

Yeah, it's still kinda slow, and it's decisively weird to see it progressing in issues instead of episodes (it doesn't really help the story - too abrupt, I'd say, after years and years of being used to mostly self-contained episodes), but it's going okay, I think.

Oh, Chase is my favourite character, too; especially with him being an adult now, which leads to problems all around. (Oh, and his famous, glorious "Let's try stupid things" action to bring back a certain party? I understood. Totally.)

Actually, the speed isn't my problem. It's this old "Army-is-bad" scheme. I mean, it doesn't quite fit with BtVS anymore - Riley Finn, for example, knows what's going on, and I most sincerely doubt that any group undertaking actions in SD wouldn't be briefed by him.
But Giant!Dawn? Leads to fun. And the fact that according to [livejournal.com profile] lizbeth_marcs Buffy's dream in the second issue has ignited the shipper wars. Heh. (Okay, I'm not too fond of that pairing myself, but still... hehe.)

Haha, thinking of Chase as an adult never gets old XD Yeah, I loved him too in the last arc - so dark and heart broken and *sob* I still miss Gert so much. ;___;

Oh man, I'd forgotten about Riley! (not so surprising, considering season 4 is the one I've seen the least episodes of...) I still think this issue felt more like BtVS than last one, though. Haha, yeah, I loved that bit in the intro: 'Oh, and Dawn's a giant." XD Priceless.

Shipper wars? Where, where? *looks around* Those are always fun, yo. But let me guess, it's the same old story, right? Spike/Buffy vs. Angel/Buffy. Bah. And I'd been pleasantly surprised/horrorified/interested with that Buffy/Xander part (before, you know, his head fell off, and stuff). It'd be wickedly interesting, even if my inner Buffy dork is screaming 'OMG WRONG' at me.

The Doctor is an HP fan. Words cannot properly express how awesome that is. :D :D (Also, he's a complete and utter fanboy, n'aww.)

There is an 8th Season of Buffy COMIC? LOL. I can't believe I missed that. How many issues have been put out? *totally needs to buy that* I'm waiting for the second volume of Runaways to be released. (I'm not sure if it has yet.) I have the first volume, and I really did like it.

There is! It's only two issues long yet, would you like me to upload them for you? It's nice to have Buffy back, even if it feels weird to read it instead of watch it XD

...I didn't spoil you, did I? *looks around anxiously* The first volume is better than the second one, if I gotta be honest, but some really deep shit happened and the characters got a lot of development, which is nice.

Oh could you upload Buffy? I'm so poor right now. ;p

Nope, you didn't spoil anything. No worries. ^_^

Comentaría más largo pero ni tiempo: solamente para decir Shakespeare, Ten, Martha y el expelliarmus FTW!!! :D Los estoy amando demasiado :)

I loved this episode, I'm actually quite happy with Martha and am enjoying this Season. The whole JK and Book 7 reference was extremely funny. I have to agree, I feel like the constant mention of Rose is a little annoying, and I mean wasn't Runaway Bride his mourning period? Must we hear about Rose every time? She's not dead, she's happy somewhere else. The guy who played Shakespeare was so sexy and I know I have seen him in something else, but I can't remember what it is. The whole power of words thing was so lovely. You know who'll love this episode? Neil Gaiman, he's such a Shakespeare and Doctor Who fan, I bet he'd enjoy this one.

And that's the thing, they talk about her like she's dead - all that talk about 'her knowing what to say in the right time'? Bullshit. Rose was incredible, but perfect she was not (oh young padawan), and I loved her for that. *shrug* If we could get ONE mention of her being happy in her world (and have proof of it, because Doomsday was beautiful, but it was such an insatisfactory ending for Rose)...

Haha, you're right! He'll have the time of his geeky life seeing this ep XDD Ah, I wish he'd break his 'I don't write tv series scripts' rule. Neil would write a PERFECT Doctor. *nod*

I wish there was a way he could visit Rose, and we'd see how happy she is. At least I hope she is happy. I have to agree that for Rose, Doomsday was not a good ending.

Oooh, yes Neil would write the perfect Doctor, ah, maybe one day he will break his rule.
