First Dud? V-DVD Info & The Weekly Preview

A little earlier than usual this week, but I'm bored and felt like a blog entry.

It's been out a few days, and so far the reaction to 1.05 has been mixed. I half-expected this, coming off our most popular episode yet in 1.04, and also being the first stand-alone. I'm curious, though - you guys tell me - was 1.05 our first dud? No doubt a few of you haven't read or reviewed it yet, so I'll leave that question out for a while. Post your answer on the forums.

One common reaction is that it feels very much like a Smallville episode. This, I actually agree with. It wasn't intentional, but it does feel like a Smallville episode. Hopefully it felt like a good Smallville episode, but from the reviews so far, it doesn't seem like we have many fans of that show.

I've started on a little side project - turning my design for the G&C season 1 V-DVD into a full-size replica of an actual DVD set. I've been working on enlarging the designs I've had in place for months to make them print better, and working on the logistics of making it happen. The plan is to make three copies - one for me, one for J.B., and one to give away in a contest after S1 is over. It's looking like I may have to make 10-15 copies, though, based on what I've seen.

The design (edited to prevent spoilers) is available at: http://home.ec.rr.com/catalyst/vdvdcopy.jpg

And, so that brings us to 1.06 - the first episode officially completed - even before the pilot. It's undergone a hundred edits, and some re-writes, and I'm still making final edits as I type this. You all got a bit of a preview for it at the end of 1.05, but here's the official rundown:

Written By: J.B. Gibson, Jay Everington, & Harrison Cartwright

The strange headaches, and trouble sleeping Peter's been experiencing may be a sign of more than stress. With Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. hot on his trail, Peter is one step ahead, but how long can he keep them at bay?

THINGS TO WATCH FOR:

  • WHO? Nick Fury, of course.
  • WHAT? Guns.
  • WHEN? Now.
  • WHERE? The gym.
  • WHY? Why not?

Released: Next Wednesday, October 17th

Until then, keep an eye out for drones!
