I finally picked up the Super 7 Alien Reaction prototype SDCC exclusives via a BIN auction on eBay. I paid a lot, but I got one literally cheaper than any others I have seen up for auction since before SDCC even started, and I have been looking at these auctions every day since then trying to find one at a decent price.

I think I'm pretty happy. These are starting to get more scarce and I don't see the price dropping much lower than I paid, well, ever. Mine was at least $30 cheaper than what they are charging at BBTS.

Now if they would just go ahead and ship the Early Bird figures I paid for months ago...

Can't believe I forgot to mention the bit about the radio. It was quickly overshadowed by the car hijiinks with the herd, but who WAS that on the radio?

Seems like maybe a good way to introduce another comic favorite...drum roll please: ABRAHAM

You read it here first.

News of Abraham's casting got out a couple weeks ago. No one mentioned it here, though.

‘Walking Dead’ Adds Michael Cudlitz, Josh McDermitt; First Photo Of Sgt. Abraham Ford

Yeo, I had read that too, so I wasn't really going out on a limb I guess. Can't wait for these guys to show up, we need more studs for Team Rick. Good stuff!

Good read, thanks!

I had totally forgotten about "Metal Machine Music"...I think I still have that CD leftover from my Merzbow/Masonna listening phase.

So, yeah, Kevin Smith officially usurped as the biggest *******/most annoying guest they have...  Marilyn Manson now wears the tiara.  I think the other two guests didn't get to speak nearly enough, despite both sounding like they had much better things to say.  And Manson was largely incoherent and droned on in failed attempts to sound like he was thinking deep about every aspect of the show.  He was horrible, and given Hardwick's treatment of him at times, I don't think he'll be back any time soon.  Twiggy should come on though.

OMG, you took the words right out of my mouth. That was literally UNWATCHABLE. And I really wanted to hear what Gale Hurd had to say but I simply could not take another second of that ******bag.

 "At no point in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that resembled a rational thought."

I guessed right on Carol too, but not in this forum sadly so I do not get credit. :(  Still time to get your bets in on the rat-feeder though. (Going with one of those girls)

Here is the main problem with carol: her head is in the right place, but not her heart. She is making decisions now UNILATERALLY for the entire group and making her own determination on what's best. That is a huge problem. THAT IS WHAT THE COUNCIL IS FOR! If she had done any of this stuff with their blessing that is one thing but clearly that is not the case.

Tyreese isn't going anywhere, so this gets resolved eventually. Maybe Carol dies, maybe not. I think Rick has learned his lesson about not coming clean in the past though, so I am hopeful he handles this the right way. I mean, he just needs to get everyone together in one big room and then tell them what happened. Don't let it fester.

And after all that, Carol never even goes to check on Sasha, LOL.

That was one sick looking black eye, ouch.

So what happens if a walker dies and falls in the little river where they're getting all their fresh drinking water from? That does not seem very sanitary.

Good episode though, every one without the Governor is a real delight.

They should have her die on the show, like Ned's first wife.

Any fans of Lou Reed and/or the Velvet Underground here? Would like to hear someone quantify exactly why he is considered so influential. I don't mean that as a dis, it just doesn't seem obvious to me from listening to the music. Is he mostly acknowledged as a lyricist?

He is one of those guys I just never "got" really I guess.

Nice to see Matthew Wood resurfacing after being such a mainstay on the Clone Wars series. Glad he will be involved as well.

Yeah, you have to sign up for the Geoffrey Birthday Club or somesuch thing. It's free, so why not? I get two of those things every year, they come in handy.

Snagged Chewbacca for $5 at 5 Below, that was the last halfway interesting figure they had.

No big loss really, at least he got the ball rolling. Kasdan has the pedigree that's for sure, I feel better as long as he continues to be an integral part.

The writers and producers of that show are ashamed of their roots, I am now convinced.

They're frigging comic books, not lost chapters of the Bible. Don't take yourselves so seriously. You're not going to lose 50% of the viewing audience at the first sight of spendex or a cape. It's not enough to give guys clever names, they need a suit and a scheme.

Instead we get schmoes, scientists, and girls in flowery dresses. Big fat hairy deal.

It's not a bad show, just not nearly as good as it could be by injecting the same stuff that made Avengers so wildly popular. In the comics, SHIELD was regularly interacting with super powered heroes and villains.

Red Ronin FTW!

I ran by our newly renovated 5 Below last night and picked up Commander Fox, Rex, and a Phase II Clone for $5 a pop. Did not see any new vintage stuff though.
