Update, Sorta

I have not, in fact, given up on my rewatch of Gargoyles, despite my lack of attention, though it has been sidelined for various and sundry Reasons; but I did want to point out to anyone who manages to stumble across this blog that the A.V Club (one of my favorite sites for criticism and occasionally one of the most infuriating) is reviewing the show this summer. Oliver Sawa - who as far as I can tell is their Comics Guy (not to be confused with a Comic Book Guy) - has already reviewed all five parts of "Awakening" here.

Disclaimer: As of this moment, I haven't actually read the reviews yet. I noticed a Gargoyles review on the site, took note of the reviewer and rushed over to Blogger to bash out this post. I am familiar with Sawa - he used to review Once Upon a Time, a current favorite show, and also the various Justice League cartoons, old favorites. I can't say I always agreed with him, but I can say I appreciate the time and thought he put in. (To say nothing of his comics knowledge, which far outstrips my own.)

Attention to this show is always welcome!

I Am Lame

Literally, since I twisted my ankle yesterday morning while running around with the dogs doing something undefined but badass. This may not seem like a good excuse for procrastinating with my still-unfinished "City of Stone" review, since most people don't type with their ankles (though I bet there's some weirdo contortionist out there that can), but waaah, I am a big baby and it hurts and I just want to lay around and watch TV and play Candy Crush and not think or write about things.

It's coming, though. Truthfully, I was having a hard time, since this four-parter was really amazing and I want to do it justice and I was (am) still a little flummoxed on how to write about it and blah blah blah no-one-cares-about-my-so-called-"process." I will finish, if for no other reason than I want to keep watching the DVD's (I review each episode before watching the next). So watch for that, sometime this week.

Also, in other amazing-TV-show news - JESSE PINKMAN IS ALIVE AND FREE, THANK FUCKING GOD. Whew.
