Counterside Noise

Tv flavoured tag-o-muffin servings

Anything and nothing and everything in between with tangents or topics on the subject of Tv.

For other things to take your fancy, there are other tags.

 

Steak, butter and Buffy

Staff picks

Sitting there with a mouthful of meat and the chewing wasn't helping any. Fifty and gone, working it works out the juices and with that, a dry sad clump of meat hangs and sits on the tongue, where's the stock? So that's the reason nobody in their right mind orders meats past medium.

March 15 and then half of the crew are off on the jet to lay down some of that Aussie brand of whatever it is Aussies brand in their existence. Certainly not cows, that's a pretty country non-specific kind of deal. What with the ranchers, the meat eaters and the wolves who bay at the door wanting that extra leg of Turkey Spam.

Joss Whedon brings back the Scoobies in Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1 and picks up right where the last episode of the show left off. Never read the first run through Dark Horse back in the day. Wasn't pining for it as much as now, and wasn't that big of a fan of the other stories. But here, as the season 8 of the show as it could have been, there's the gun for juicing up the anticipation like staying around to watch it on television.

Power Rangers: Time Force

The Multiverse

Great, the end of the year and now they start to sneak in with more episodes of Power Rangers without any fanfare beyond the listings in the TV guide.

Pop Collectables

Shop talk

It's all in the past now...

...but apparently the shop was on Aurora: The Community Channel on Saturday July 22. Specifically on the Pop Collectables show.

Their field reporter Elle Lascelles interviewed Jason about storage for comics and comics care. "Her report includes an interesting new commercial technique from the U.S.A. helping comics stay mint for up to 50 years."

Late in the evening, Doctor Who fans would have probably been watching Tooth and Claw on at about the same time.

Now wasn't that some time travelling segue?

Question really is, did anyone happen to catch it or the repeat on the Sunday?

Family Guy Vol 1: 101 Ways To Kill - Devil's Due

Reviews

Stewie Griffin hosts the book about his 101 various ways of dreaming to kill his mum, Lois. Style is straight from the eponymous cartoon. Drop dead references to all sort of things just for the sake of breaking the flow are there. A definite for the fans, nothing for those still unconvinced of it's lacking style of humour. Burn.

Joanie Loves Chachi

The Multiverse

Rocking in home with a spot on the podium, The Comic Shop Villains took out the bronze in the Guildford Bowling League's trivia night for 2005.

Blasting out from the start, salt and vinegar crisps mixed with a plate of Doritos and a side of Twisties (cheese). Red was the fabric bleed for the night, every table sporting their blood on their sleeves. Playing on a handicap -- every other table had eight or nine -- the seven of the Comic Shop ran into the blaze.

Massive shock in the first round. Blank stares facing the answer sheet marked in a floundering effort for equal third last. With the fresh face of possible death at the hands, the Villains cranked out the uncanny with more and more useless fragments flying from all over the place. Logic is a mess.

Ever see the Addams Family car in the driveway?
Can a woman still breast-feed after cosmetic surgery?
Haven't you ever seen a horse and donkey spoon?

Facts, trivia and other irrelevant conversation information made for the night. Loud noises only up against it all.

From the depths of the first, the slow crawl back up the ladder was made on each round. A slight misstep taken in the fifth was a nerve wrecker. Only for a round though. Rocking in all the way home on the last round, jumping over the other tables with a stellar effort, third place at the end of the eight rounds of the night.
