That Arrow Zombie

So the latest season of the Arrow TV show premiered the other day. It was actually really good. Usually the season openers for Arrow aren't the best but setup plotlines that you can tell will be good later on, and while it did setup some interesting plotlines, this opener was actually very good in its own right. A lot of action, drama, and people getting killed to the point that I was genuinely surprised how good it was. I honestly can't wait for the rest of the season, because based on the this first episode it is going to be awesome.

Another awesome season opener was the latest Walking Dead season premiere. Holy crap! That is all I can really say without spoilers. So many good things and surprises in this premiere that I have been giddy to talk about it with just about anyone who will put up with me! This episode actually felt more like a season finale than a premiere, which just makes me really really excited to see how the rest of the season will play out. How can they possibly top themselves now, chainsaw wielding zombies falling out of planes? Hm, now I actually want to see that...

Flash Gotham Writing Completion

So I finished the first draft of the Fourth Episode of the Tales of the Fable Star book series today. A lot of things happened, some story lines get wrapped up others get furthered and then there are always splosions.

But I would rather talk about TV shows. The Flash TV show just (not so recently) came out, and it was quite interesting. Now, I am a fan of Arrow and think that show is great, but I don't know about Flash. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. The first episode of course handles the origin story and that is never exactly easy so maybe it will get better, but I don't know it just feels very tonally different than Arrow. Which I suppose on one hand is a good thing, I mean the Green Arrow and the Flash are two VERY different characters and types of heroes. The Green Arrow kills everybody and is just rather dark and gloomy. While the Flash is almost the exact opposite, being very cheerful and bright and upbeat and doesn't really try to kill people. So I guess its a good thing that the show is sticking to the source material, but I guess it just means that I don't really like the character type. Hm.

Anyway, Gotham is getting better. Very good cop show set in the batman universe and is really showing promise. I don't want to spoil anything, but the name dropping is getting very very fun and makes me a tad giddy.

Now, as for book business. While I am still making edits and such to the episode four, here is what the book cover is going to look like along with the reveal of this episode's name. Hehehe.
