In haste

[selenak]

Before I catch the train which I'll be on for the rest of the day, a few links:

Penny Dreadful: Titan Books will do a comics prequel, which on the one hand, yay, on the other, will the medium be able to catch the glorious screwed upness of the Vanessa and Malcolm relationship, which, let's be real, is what I most want from a prequel?

Black Sails: unrelated to yesterday's issue, concise post on another issue, to wit, why my sympathies are entirely with Max (and Eleanor), not Jack, in last episode's development, here.

Tolkien: great essay in the TLS by rozk, here.

Oscars: one of the weirdest moments was when a bunch of people, led by Alejandro Iñárritu, refused to applaud for costume designer Jenny Beavan. Satiric take on that one.

Titan's Doctor Who comics are mostly very good (as opposed to the terrible IDW Orphan Black comic, which was indistinguishable from the most pedestrian kind of "rewrite canon events with additional cliched introspection" fanfic), so I'd be hopeful.

I shall be looking forward to it, then!
