Hi from Australia, I see you mentioned the Eurovision Song Contest over in the Botbots thread. Are you enjoying this years contest so far? Which country's acts are your highlights? ~L~
Thanks for wishing us luck! I don't want to spoil what our Kate Miller-Heidke does up on that stage, but it's certainly the most impressive staging in recent memory. Good luck right back to you! I'll be hearing the UK entry for the first time in the final, so as long as it isn't a mock entry it has potential to be a good one.
Well that didn’t go very well did it? Last place for the U.K.? I’m not too shocked though, it wasn’t a great song. I voted for Norway in the end, that was my favourite on the night - Australia was one of the better ones too!
Norway was my favourite too! I quoted "Spirit in the Sky" over in the Movieverse Toys appreciation thread (in response to one of DocSeth81's photoshop images!)
Fully intend to read it. I will always stick to reading Transformers comics. I only hope this comic lasts, what with IDW’s apparent financial woes...
Hi Omegashark! Yeah, I’ll probably download the first few issues and give it a go. How about yourself?
It’s been so long, I just have to ask, any chance of an update to the blog? Cause some of us are getting antsy.
Thanks for the post calling out the casual transphobia in the Megatronia thread. I've found a lot of these posts disturbing and it's weird to see them go unmentioned. I thought about mentioning it myself, but I didn't want to start any sort of flame wars or anything, nor did I want to bring about a feeling of "me against the TF community." Anyway, I like your IDW read through thread, and I'm glad you're a cool person about social issues, too.
It's funny with the way you talk about the comic versus the TV show. My family didn't own a TV when I was young, so my first exposure to the Transformers was the comic. It's weird how we view the transformers based on how we were first exposed to them.
I actually did know about the cancer being latin for crab (as well as the constellation stuff). It also makes sense with masterforce, but I could swear their names had something to do with the Zodiac as well. Maybe the chinese Zodiac.
I don't have a problem with what you said, but I really have to disagree that there are not enough minorities within the fiction. I think we're represented fairly well within he fiction. Minus Carbombya of course. I think DC comics, until recently, had far more of an issue with a lack of minority representation.
