SomeGeek> Hah, nicely spotted! I never noticed that connection before.

Speaking of OotS, I've noticed that the villain Redcloak has quite a few similarities to Demona. An anti-human vendetta, semi-immortality, has killed or been culpable in the deaths of large numbers of his own people in the name of their prosperity, a refusal to admit error, and a tremendous guilt complex. They're not completely the same, of course (for one thing, Redcloak wasn't responsible for the initial event that caused his hatred of humans, and he's certainly more self-aware than Demona - not to mention he hasn't completely alienated other goblins), but they certainly share a fair bit.

This is something old so it may have been mentioned before, but I was just re-reading Order of the Stick (a fantasy/D&D-inspired webcomic) and on strip 70, panel 8 there is a reference that is amusing for the Gargoyle's crowd...
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0070.html (panel 8 is at the end of the third row)

Anyway, it's an old strip (9 years ago!) back from when the webcomic started so it isn't "new" news. And taken out of context that particular strip isn't all that funny. But it was just something I noticed while rereading it and thought I'd share.

Rebel> Comedywise I'm rather particular, and at the moment, 'Raising Hope', 'Big Bang Theory' and 'How I Met Your Mother' are the only things that makes me laugh.

Dramawise, I watch Castle and Once Upon a Time. (Which you should SERIOUSLY take a look at, if you're not following it already. I know I bashed the pilot last year...But it got SO much better and SO good...)

I think that's all I follow on Hulu.

There are some animated shows that I follow on...Sites that are less Hulu-ish.

Tron: Uprising, Dragons: Riders of Berk, etc...And Young Justice if for some reason I cannot catch it when it airs.

@FTBM2010, I caught the beginning of "Archer" last night when I got home from watching "Django Unchained". "Archer" isn't a show I watch, but it caught my eye because the writers paid homage to "Bob's Burgers", a show that currently airs on FOX. Are you familiar with the show? Did you get the reference? I thought it was funny, but then turned it off to watch "Impractical Jokers" that I DVRed.

Concerning "Django Unchained", Tarantino did not disappoint. I really enjoyed it. Christoph Waltz was fantastic. I'm happy to report that the movie did not feel like 2 hours and 45 minutes.

BISHANSKY - Yes, "Sherlock"'s great - especially how it's able to translate the Sherlock Holmes story from Victorian London to the modern world and still capture its essence. (I read that one element that helped the production team was the realization that the first Sherlock Holmes story began with Dr. Watson returning to England after being wounded in Afghanistan, an event that could work just as well today as it could in the 1880's.)

@Rebel, "Keeping Up Appearances" is a show my dad watches and I would catch myself watching with him. While I'm not a huge fan of British comedy, there are some pretty funny episodes of that show.

Netflix streaming tv shows I highly recommend (to name a few):

Breaking Bad
The Walking Dead
The League
30 Rock

What's everyone watching on Netflix or Hulu these days? I've rediscovered a show I used to love watching late at night when I was in junior high school: Keeping Up Appearances--a hilarious British sitcom about Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced "Boquet") who has delusions of social grandeur. Her daily efforts to keep up the appearance of a high social standing result in some really funny moments.

I've also caught myself up on all the episodes of Once Upon A Time...and I'm kicking myself a little bit because I didn't realize until recently that it actually isn't really that good of a show, but unfortunately I'm at a point now where I care too much about the characters to stop watching.

I'm trying to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer as well. I remember catching an episode here or there when I was much younger and loving it, but I guess all the episodes I had seen back then were from the later seasons. The first season is a bit of a bore for me but I'm going to keep on trucking. I don't think I'll regret it. I remember feeling the same way about Season 1 of Farscape and Seasons 2-4 made it all worth it.

Or Monsieur le Maire could be a "Jean Valjean" counterpart in the same way that Falstaff and his gang in the last part of "Bad Guys" were a counterpart to Falstaff and his gang in Shakespeare, Dingo to Prince Hal, and the ColdTrio to Othello, Desdemona, and Iago.

There's also the bit about Jean Valjean coming from 19th century France (I'm only vaguely familiar with "Les Miserables", but I believe it's set during one of the "barricades uprisings" in the first half of the 19th century), though since the Gargoyles Universe has several long-lived characters, many of whom have been around long before that, that probably shouldn't be too much of an obstacle. (Or, for that matter, Finella and Mary might not have been the only people transported from the past to the present during Brooklyn's TimeDancing adventures.)

And given that Valjean's entire story is about the redemption of a former criminal, it only makes sense that he would run the Redemption Squad. Of course, that means writing around the fact the Valjean died of nothing in the book- perhaps his friend Victor covered for him when he faked his own death. Incidentally, I haven't seen the movie because I'm going to see the stage show next month (ONE MONTH MORE!) for the first time. I'm not worried about spoilers, I know the story, but I don't want the movie to change my expectations of the show.

I bet if they bring back the series, it would be as 2198. New characters and a setting in the future means should allow everyone to catch on pretty fast to what's going on, regardless of if you watched the original show or not. I would just hope they had the original voice actors when Brooklyn, Demona, and MacBeth make their appearance.

I started re-reading the Bad Guys comic (the paperback) last night... it's just so great and detailed. So much information on so little space.
And how I wish that the story was continued soon... well, don't we all? Fanfiction can never keep up with the quality of the canon stuff.

January tenth 1997 is the date of the start and end of Brooklyn's TimeDance. I wonder if he and/or any of his fellow dancers commemorate that date in any way.

We're now sixteen years and four days ahead of the last canon depiction of our winged friends. While I find some amusement in that mathematical congruence, I'm still annoyed we don't have more. C'mon Disney, cough up!
