PTG Episode 105 is brought to you by Talk Nerdy Show. Episode 6 of Talk Nerdy Show will air this Friday night starting at 8PM. Don’t miss Ryan, Josh, Joe, and Mark as they give THEIR take on ‘Clash of the Titans‘ as well as take on other geek topics and the thoughts of their live audience. You can find their live show over at www.tinychat.com/talknerdyshow.
In this episode, as you may have guessed from the title, we talk about the end of the ‘Blackest Night‘ event in DC Comics, along with some its implications in terms of the characters restored to life in the course of issue #8. Joe Carbonell, resident artist of the Talk Nerdy Show, takes point in discussing with me the comic in terms of Ivan Reis’ artwork as well as the impact of the story and its themes. it’s been a great ride, but all things come to an end, and in this case the end opens the door to ‘Brightest Day‘, which DC readers will learn more about in the weeks and months to come. For my part, I of course enjoyed the story immensely, and I’ll definitely miss playing that ‘Blackest Night Spotlight’ sounder during our future broadcasts.
Later in the hour, Josh Urbanowski takes the baton from Joe and joins with me in discussing TV during the Flash TV Reviews segment, sharing his thoughts on the return of Fringe and this past season so far. Fringe was most certainly the more compelling of the two sci-fi TV show returns to new episodes this past week; V, in comparison, continued to underwhelm, and I for one have begun a personal countdown of how many more weak episodes of the series will we review before we give up on it entirely.
Finally, the whole cast of Talk Nerdy Show weighs in on an idea I had for a new weekly segment on PTG, one that doesn’t necessarily fit our style and our usual mode of expression, but may provide a bit of a jolt to our listeners and some variety in terms of the way we editorialize. What’s the segment called, you ask? Well, you’ll just have to give the episode a listen, but I’ll give you this hint: the segment from week to week would NOT focus on someone we’re particularly HAPPY with that week. Enjoy!
