New season of Boondocks is starting to look up.

In the middle of Lost Girl season 1 at the moment. It's pretty uninteresting for a supernatural show.

It is all about the sexy time with that show. I loved it but only followed it for two seasons then lost track of it.

That's the unrealism that broke the camel's back? That whole show is absurd. And the dialogue comes across as an hour's worth of those pretentious, pseudo-intellectual discussions on the nature of man from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Still, it creates a unique atmosphere that's engaging and unsettling, if at times goofy (much like Evangelion).

Obviously not watching it yet, but I'm totally stoked for this. And it looks like they're not gonna turn it into some goofy, Smallville teen drama too.

I'm trying to remain hopeful, but the fact that they're including Bruce Wayne, Selina Kyle, and pretty much Batman's entire Rogue's Gallery just has me thinking they have no faith selling people an engaging experience and instead want to cash in on name recognition. The worst part is there was a really good comic series called Gotham Central that could have easily been made into a cop drama that was tangentially related to Batman. Shit, if Warner Bros./ DC had their shit together like Marvel they could have this show slowly drop clues for the upcoming Batman vs. Superman movie.

At the end of the day it's a new drama series on Fox, so unless it gets amazing ratings and reviews prepare for them to show the first half of the season out of order, then cancel it, then it gets revived by Netflix or something.

Of course it's a cash-in. So were the new Batman games for that matter. Anything Batman that comes out in the wake of the Christopher Nolan movies (which were cash-ins on the superhero movie craze) is going to be a cash-in. So long as the cash-in is quality then I don't really care.

And I really don't need to see another police procedural.

Edit: And is the Marvel comment about Agents of SHIELD? Cause I've been ignoring that since the second or third episode. Did it get any better?

Possibly. But I think Batman is too much of a potential cash cow for them to treat it like they did Firefly or Terra Nova or the Sarah Conner Chronicles. They're probably going to try to milk it for all it's worth, which at least means that if nothing else, they'll give it the time of day.

Shield got so much better and even tied into the latest Captain America movie.

I need tocatch up on Shield....esp if they tie into wibter soldier!

Not happy days for Shied in that movie :)
