Well I’ve met to post this for a while now but it’s pretty bloody obvious that this blog is on a hiatus now.

This blog has a history that was tied to a certain comic book store in Vancouver, Canada (You know, where the 2010 Winter Olympics were) called ELFSAR COLLECTION COMICS & TOYS. Sadly Elfsar had to close down in May so in many ways, it’s closing has also put the final nail into the coffin of this blog. If I had ANY thought of returning and sparking this sucker up, it’s all gone now. Elfsar was the spark that had me start REALLY bad reviews over on Happy Harbor Comics website. That went on for a while until I thought, why not just start my own blog doing the same thing and ranting about whatever else I wanted. So I did and BtS was born. It went through many looks & feel until finding the latest incarnation. Now don’t get me wrong, I do miss it at times but overall I think running this blog took a great deal out of me in ways I haven’t still realized. I managed this blog almost as much or more than working 8 hours a day and that got to be too much in general. That and I feel my appreciation for comic books lately has been at an all time low so I have little to talk about.

I know many friends I know wished I kept the blog up and running but never truly understood it was like feeding a forever hungry zombie… and I FUCKING HATE Zombies!

So for now the blog is again on a Hiatus. If you feel the fucked up strange need to listen to my rambles, you can catch me on Twitter here:

I’m not closing up shop as I like the digital footprint this leaves so feel free to browse and lick the carpet, you might find something you like. That said, I’m closing the comments now for the entire site and all older posts.

Oh shit, look what Virtual Echo just flipped me!?

Is Dollhouse on it’s last legs? A good post on Blog@Newsarama mentions how Dollhouse is on the bench for the November sweeps which is not a good sign for any show.

A while ago, I mentioned on Twitter if Dollhouse will survive and I knew that some DH fans would come out and flame me over my posts. I mentioned the following:

@RobertParizek If #Firefly fans get all browncoats & decked out in cosplay, do #DOLLHOUSE fans cosplay as blank slates in pastal coloured tracksuits?

@RobertParizek Read #DOLLHOUSE ratings are not good & I am sure Whedon fans will blame FOX but if a show is fucking boring, a show is fucking boring.

The biggest issue of Dollhouse IMHO is that there is NO  ONE to “like” or bound with on the show. There is no Everyman/Everywoman unless Echo is programmed to be a lactating MILF. NONE of the characters like each other in any way unless they are programmed to — why watch a show where NO  ONE likes one another?! I understand that maybe having unlikeable characters is what Dollhouse wants to do in that manner but I am guessing that the majority of TV viewers don’t “get it”.
