Star Trek TNG: Loosing the peace

Star Trek was my 1st literary love as an adult. What' great about this universe is that although the TV series are ancient history by now, the universe keeps evolving. This book is set right after the end of the Borg. The message coming from it that no matter how advanced a civilization is, people will still be petty and won't be ready to surrender their comfy lives in order to help those whose worlds were not so lucky.

Percy Jackson: The Titan's curse

The 3rd Percy Jackson book is even better then the 1st too. I just couldn't put it down. This time the trio are Percy, Thalia & Grover. On the way we meet Artemis, Aphrodite, Hermes, Athena & Atlas. I'm glad that Riordan is writing a 2nd Olympians series. I wish Rowling will do the same.

The 11th Doctor

For me the Doctor will always be David Tennant's 10th Doctor. His cheerfulness is infectious. And when he is mad you realize that he isn't a mere human but a force to reckon with - a Time Lord. I wish he had stayed forever in the role, but unfortunately someone decided that 5 years is enough and we got Matt Smith's 11th Doctor. I've only watched 1 episode so far and my first impression is that the actor is trying too hard to imitate David Tennant. He acts crazy, speaks 10 miles a meter and jumps all over the place. But somehow he came across, to me anyway as a faded copy of Tennant. We;ll see how I'll feel about him after watching more episodes.

Doctor Who: the price of paradise

A very ecological book about a planet that is allergic to non natives and turn some it's natives into monsters to rid it off the alien "pollution". Perfect for today which happen to be Earth Day. Of course the Doctor figure it out and with the help of Rose and some of the natives he manage to save almost everyone.

Angel: Only human

Although it's a 5 issues series, I've read it very quickly, because of how Baticus, Illrya's pet was drawn. Why oh why did they have to draw him as a very frightening monstrosity ??? The story is great. It's about Illrya & Gunn. Angel is only mentioned.

Stargate universe: air

Stargate Universe (SGU) is the 3rd Stargate series. Unlike the 2 other Stargate series (SG-1 & Atlantis), the character's destiny is not in their hands. They don't get to choose where to go from their homebase (Earth or Atlantis), but they are going wherever the ship Destiny is taking them.

Ive already watched the 1st 10 episodes and the jury is still out. There are too many characters, and I'm still not sure who some of them are. Also none of them as the presence of Jack O'neill or John Sheparad, so I still don't have a favorite character.

This book is the novelization of the 1st 2 episodes. It helps a bit because it gives more info about the characters then I was able to get form watching the episodes.

Spike: Shadow puppets

I'm Glad that I've decided to buy this book in London although it wasn't on the bargains shelf. Spike is presented in all his "glory". I wouldn't mind more "smile time" stories :)

Percy Jackson: The sea of monsters

Another great Percy Jackson book. The similarity to the Harry Potter books is still very pronounced, with Kronos = Voldemort, Luke = Draco and Tyson replacing Grover as Ron. These books are a very good way to learn Greek mythology :)

CSI: Blood quantum

I love all 3 CSI TV series and this book is as good as any episode. It actually contain 2 separate stories, because the CSI team is divided into 2 groups, each group trying to solve a different murder. My only beef with the book us that is too much Ray Langston in it. I still prefer Gil Grissom :)

Too bad I can't find CSI books in the shops here and have to either buy them in London or get them from Amazon :(

Percy Jackson: The lightening theif movie

I don't know why this movie got such bad reviews. I enjoyed it a lot. It's just a teenagers adventure movie like the Harry Potter movies. It's even more fluid then "Harry Potter and the goblet of fire" movie. So what if it's not exactly like the book ??? I'm looking forward to the next movie :)

Doctor Who: The Doctor trap

Another crazy Doctor Who book. The Doctor & Donna find themselves on a planet that is actually one huge AI. They have to get away from the planet, it's crazy ruler and the Doctor's no. 1 fan who was transformed to be an exact Doctor double. Thanks god that this series is continuing, although I'll miss David Tennant's Doctor. :(

Torchwood: Trace memory

Torchwood books are each as crazy as the show, and reading it is like watching a new episodes. This time it's about an unwilling time traveler who somehow manage to appear in each of the team members before they joined Torchwood. I'm sad that there is no hint about a new Torchwood season after "Children of Earth", but at least there are the books and the comics strips, although it looks like no new book was released since October 2009 :(

Fringe - comics & show

It took watching only the 1st 2 episodes of Fringe for me to order and buy this comics book and I wasn't disappointed. The 1st half of the books tells about the early adventures of Walter Bishop and William Bell and how they met. It's good to get some info about what happened before episode 1. But as the show itself, the story leave a very big un-answered question: how did William Bell who was the more moral bound and cautious of the pair became the head of the ruthless "massive dynamics" corporation ??? The rest of the book is a collection of short stories about crazy experiments done on unsuspecting humans. The show's main characters are not mentioned in those stories, but there are hints to "the pattern" and to "massive dynamics". It's an interesting read, and I'm looking forward to the next book "Fringe: tales from the fringe" when it will come out as a TPB. The art is also good. My only complaint is that for the price tag of $20, DC could have used better quality paper.

I also like the show. The "scientific" ideas sound like extreme sci-fi, but it's refreshing to watch sci-fi that isn't about spaceships, although I'm sure that sooner or later one will be revealed :) Each episode reveals new info about the "pattern" and open new questions. I just hope that the writers have exciting answers to those questions and will not come up with cope up solutions like "it's all a dream of the loony Walter who is still in that mental hospital".

True blood comics news from IDW

Back in February when I was in London, I posted about Dynamite going to adopt some of Charlaine Harris books. I ended the post with wishing that they'll adopt the True Blood books hoping that I'll like them better then the books, since I can't stand C. Harris's writing, although I love vampire books. It seems that IDW heard me and announced that True Blood comics will be coming to IDW in a new partnership with HBO. The series will be based off the show directly, rather than off the book series that spawned it (looks like I'm not the only one who can't stand the books :)). the series captures all the bloody details and sexy reveals of this exciting new adventure. The first six-issue series will be introduced in July at Comic-Con International: San Diego, and will feature Sookie and friends stuck in familiar Merlotte's Bar due to a severe storm. The storm isn't all they'll contend with, as a new creature that feeds directly off emotions comes to town.

Dead Beat

WOW !!! that was 1 great Dresden Files book !!! Actually all that Dresden Files books I read so far are great. Although when it comes to a "magical universe" I prefer the Harry Potter universe over any other magical universe, I love Harry Dresden's advantures. In this books aside from fighting the bad guys and saving the mortal world AGAIN, Harry becomes a warden, and starts to give in to the Fallen Angel that has invaded his mind. The rediculous part is that the White Council's wizards still don't realize that Harry became a host to said Fallen Angel.
