OTMT8: The "Ocho" - If It's Almost a Topic, We've Got It Here!

Is anybody still reading DC? Because I'm seriously considering dropping all the books I'm reading.

I'd been taking a television outline writing course at UCLA. Last night was the last class. The instructor (who worked on shows like SNL, Cheers, Night Court, Mad TV and The Simpsons) wants me to write a spec script based on my outline and e-mail it to him.

I've never written a spec script before.

I've written a few myself, both in and out of school.

Still reading most of my DC books. Only dropped a few and replaced them with others.

Anybody else watch the Burn Notice season premiere last night?

Great stuff!

That Anson is such a bastard.

Burn Notice:
No. That's a show I've been meaning to watch. The wife and I are finishing up Mad Men soon, so it may be next.

DC:
The quality has been steadily declining since the re-launch IMHO. I'm down to Flash, Wonder Woman, Animal Man, Swamp Thing and Batman. Flash is the only DC title I buy consistently, and I'll probably get rid of the rest once the current creators move on.

My favorite show on television right now. Really, I think USA is the most consistent network out there right now. Pretty much every show they put out is worth a shot.

The honeymoon phase is pretty much over, and a lot of the problems are sinking in.

I'm still reading mostly DC. Its not as if Marvel titles are a problem-free alternative.

The only show I watch on USA is Psych, which is still hitting it out of the park after all these years. But I've heard good things about Burn Notice.

Not problem free, but not as problematic to me personally as I'm finding DC right now.

Which is strange, because I was feeling pretty enthused about the whole thing not so long ago.

The worst symptom for me was The Court of Owls kind of fizzling out after such a strong start.

Batman is close to being off my list. Yesterday I did not buy it for the first week since the relaunch. Pretty much I dropped Action, 'Tec and Justice League already. Luckily for me, less DC and less Marvel have led to more indies. I get to try new stuff out.

Some of the books I like are being cancelled. Also, I'm not happy about Steph Brown's return being in a Smallville mini-series.
To be honest, if I keep any of their titles it'll be Batman and maybe Batman Inc.; maybe.

I like Batman but I wouldn't really have an issue dropping it. And, yes, I've been picking up more indies, too.

DC's made some really weird calls lately, from Freeze spoilers:

being a man obsessed with Nora even though she's not his wife

end of spoilers to the revelation that spoilers:

Bruce Wayne has a younger brother

end of spoilers.

[Chuckles]

I've never really cared for Batman. I've been reading it because of Morrison and then Snyder, but as much as I love American Vampire and, to a lesser extent, Severed, I could walk away from it too.

LOVE that show! Might be my favorite show on TV right now. It makes me want to start my own fake psychic detective agency haha.
