This and that

selenakRhett Butler's People, yet another Gone With The Wind prequel/sequel/spinoff/whatever you want to call it, manages to be worse than Alexander Ripley's Scarlett. I browsed through it yesterday and was stunned at the badness. Particular highlights include Melanie being pen pals with Rhett Butler's sister and entrusting her with her sufferings regarding the Scarlett/Ashley not-affair (worst retcon ever, y/y?), Rhett being a Byronic hero, and as for the sequel part of the thing (the majority being a retelling of GWTW), the less said the better.
On a much more fun note, here's an outtake from Human Nature, the season 3/29 Dr. Who episode, the Doctor's message to Martha. See David Tennant improvise.
Comics:
Because it's fun to see fanboys who happen to be writers (or is it the other way around?) geek out: read Damon Lindelof (Lost), Ed Brubaker (among many other things, Captain America), David Goyer (Batman Begins) and Brian K. Vaughan (also many things, but let's just list Runaways and Lost, again) debate that classic of comics, Alan Moore's Watchmen, here. (It's a pity they couldn't get someone from the Heroes writers, say, Jeph Loeb, for 0.07% reasons.) My own attitude towards Watchmen is basically my attitude towards most of Moore's works - I admire them, but I don't love them. (Except League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. That I love.) Still: it really is a fascinating, has-no-equal classic, Watchmen.
Heroes:
As he has been showcased wonderfully this season: check out these great Matt Parkman icons! (Unspoilery.)
Royal Dysfunctions: a pre-series look at the Petrellis, season 1 spoilers only.
