I just Wiki'd that Boon-Ga Boon-Ga.

Is there anything they don't think of in Japan?

I remember a Judge Dredd story about a perp named Casey Steech being released coming out in the same week that Stacey Keech was released from prison.

Well remembered. I'd forgotten that it had a different title in the States.

IMDB have a write up of it.

Let's hope it goes the way of American Red Dwarf, Coupling, Men Behaving Badly and Dad's Army.

Is this baddie the one that appeared in the prog last time, drawn by Gibson?

Yep, back in prog 1468.

However, last time Global Psycho appeared, she was a woman presumably in her early twenties. How could she have mentored someone who has been in the vaults for forty years? Bodysnatcher? Time in the vaults herself?

Cover: Excellent montage by Cliff Robinson. Would like to see him do a Stickleback cover just on the basis of this.

Damage Report: Kersal Massive?? Dear me.

Dredd: Acceptable filler. Robbie Morrison looks to be getting the hang of Dredd now. Not Gibson's best but good to see him in the Prog. Page 4, the female Judge's fantasy. Is that supposed to be Dredd in the sunglasses?

Stickleback: Demon Cody's backstory. What an evil bastard!

Kingdom: A slow wind down for this series but will be welcomed back. A copy of this series should be given to all new writers as an example of how to structure and pace a story.

Future Shock: Reads like an abandoned first episode for a series that would have been a bit too similar to Ten Seconders. Liked the art though.

Strontium Dog: All conveniently wrapped up in one episode. Not one of the best Strontium Dog tales.

On the whole, a great prog.

That beats the one a mate of mine got on Sunday.

On returning a second faulty iPod Shuffle to HMV he was told,

"I can't accept that. The seal's broken. How am I suppossed to resell it?"

After explaining that you don't resell the faulty ones, he got a refund from the manager.

enclosed a still from your mov file, hope you don't mind.

Is that some weathering on the back of the bike or just a trick of the light?

Either way, it's still bloody fantastic.

Spotted this link on a Star Wars fansite today.

Characters from Torchwood and Dr Who done in a Muppet Babies style comic.

The art looks pretty good to me.

I've been using rpoints for the last year or so.

Again, it's a cashback cooperative like Quidco but instead of holding back your first £5, they start you off with £5.

Mainly the same companies signed up to both but the discounts are slightly less with rpoints.

Still made over £130 back from it last year.

Now, to me, living in Cardiff, a 'Jack' is a derogatory term for someone from Swansea.

Exactly how I felt about Shakara, what did we miss?

Rest of the prog is fine though.

Film & TV / Re: LOST SEASON 4 - no spoilers......

Michael's definitely dead as this excerpt from IGN states.

However, in a new interview with tvguide.com, Perrineau confirms Michael is dead, as does Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof. Lindelof tells TV Guide: "Michael had an incredibly heroic, noble death. He sacrificed his own life to redeem himself for past mistakes and to help the Oceanic 6 get off the island."

As for Jin. Well, we haven't seen a body yet so don't write him off. However, that Sun/Jin episode, Jin's story could only have been set in 2000 or 2012 (the shopkeeper said it was the year of the dragon) and as he tells the Chinese guys that he's only been married a couple of months, I'm inclined to believe it's the former.

Unless that's one hell of a flash forward and he's remarried.
