Oh well. I also note you've listed Chuck as what you are currently watching. Well done. I'm in the middle of a re-watch of the series myself, having just knocked off season 3. It's one of those shows that, for me, is a bit like comfort food.<br /><br />Love the blog, by the way. It's interesting how often I hit on it when Googling. Well done. Enjoy the reviews at Black Gate as well.Jason E.

I really enjoyed the series and was disappointed that the authors never finished it. I so wanted to read about the final chaotic battle. I mean Gondar Lifebane took Spellbinder's hand off.

They are simple, fun, and unlike Red Sonja whose powers are defined by her relationship with men, Raven will fight and screw whoever she wants, whenever she wants and it does nothing to effect her fighting powers.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171103506130267674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008217764991774516.post-78689138501640741432013-01-30T01:32:13.840-05:002013-01-30T01:32:13.840-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171103506130267674noreply@blogger.com
