A lovely new review of FALLEN here.
Watched the series finale of Battlestar Galactica yesterday. Don’t read on if you have yet to see it…
Maybe I’ve been spoiled by THE SHIELD. I’ll certainly be writing a blog post about that finest of TV series soon, but after watching that finale, BSG just seemed a bit … oh, was that it? Did the writers really know what they were up to all the way through? I don’t know. I enjoyed it, it was good to see a nice big battle again, but … ho hum. Maybe it’s just me.
My wife and I finished watching the final season of THE SHIELD on the weekend, and I’m still reeling. Never has a TV programme possessed me so completely. I was utterly invested in the fate of these characters, and the final 3 episodes especially were emotionally draining and beautifully crafted. I’ll post something more detailed about it here soon … but siffice to say, I think it’s the best TV ever.
Off to London tomorrow for a couple of days with my wife, then upon my return it’s back to work doing revisions on CALLS OF THE WILD (The Secret Journeys of Jack London – Book One) for Harper in the USA … a collaboration with the very excellent Christopher Golden.
Okay, so I’m pretty late to the game, but last night my wife and I watched the first two episodes of Series One of The Shield. Wow. I’ve heard so much about this show, but I still wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s brilliant – wonderfully written and acted. I’m also aware of what I’ve let myself in for …. I believe Season 7 is beginning right now. Thank you, DVD box sets!
This week I’m working on a short story or two, and also making notes on a screenplay. Trying not to let my mind begin a Christmas wind-down, but on Wednesday I’m out for a drink with some old friends, so Thursday … we shall see.
