KRAD's Inaccurate Guide to Life

A very nice Genius Bar fella named Elion (really!) has just provided me with a working iPhone!

It's a miracle!!!!!

Heading back home now.....

Star Trek: Alien Spotlight: Klingons will be released on Wednesday 15 April -- in other words, next week. *grin*

Farscape: Strange Detractors #1 will also be coming out on 15 April.

The good folks at Comics Continuum have put up a preview of the first six pages of Farscape: Strange Dectractors #1, with some truly wonderful art by Will Sliney (Rockne and I gave him a bit of a challenge for the first five pages, and he came through with flying colors).

Check it out!

Alex C. Lupp did a "Line of Fire" review of the issue at Comics Bulletin.

Money quote:

If ... you’re a fan of the show, or like me have a basic understanding of who is who, then this is quite a treat. It was surprising to see just how good this was. I found myself reading this book eagerly and have suddenly decided to track down the show’s four seasons and watch it all. To me that is a job well done.

Also the good folks at the Comics And... blog have listed #4 as one of the best comics released on 1 April.

Money quote:

This was a great “episode” of the TV series as we see the crew's plan come together and ( Collapse ) As with any good episode we also laid come groundwork for dangers to come with the mysterious person chasing John and Aeryn’s son, their son exhibiting some powers and Aeryn learning it is okay to be herself and still be a mom.

entil2001 has reviewed Star Trek: A Singular Destiny for his "Critical Myth-Interpretation" blog.

Money quote:

This is very similar to “Articles of the Federation” in style, and that was a definitely “love it or hate it” novel. I, for one, loved that book, so the similarities were much appreciated. I’m a sucker for character, so after a massive trilogy focused mostly on plot and continuity, a character-driven novel hit the spot.

Since I like this blog to be a one-stop shopping location for All Things KRAD, here are the preview pages that Comics Continuum posted for Farscape: Strange Detractors #1:

A hilarious Norwegian short film about a man who wishes he had superpowers. Absolutely hilarious stuff.

DARTS AS SPORT

In March 2005, Sport England officially classified darts as a sport on the grounds that: it is played by thousands of people across the country; it is contested both nationally and internationally; and it requires both physical and mental skills.

I get fed up of the snobbery. I do. It does wear you down. All over the world, China, Japan, coast to coast across America, they see this for what it is: a sport. How I'd love to stick two fingers up to all those who knocked us. I'm World Champion, but people say I'm not a sportsman. Ridiculous. All you've got up there is your hand, your eye, and your brain. There's no hiding behind a bat, or a car, or a racket.

---Phil "The Power" Taylor, 12-time World Darts Champion
