Questions Post #5
It's that time again...TOOL TI--. . .yeah. That.
From my sister-in-law to you:

How often do you change your bio?
How do you use tags? No, this one's not you personally. I really don't get how to use them or what they're for.
How do you get to your journal—is it in your favorites? Is the link there your “recent entries” page, your user page, or your “my lj” page, or what?
Why do you have yourself friended?
Do you ever have trouble finding the button to click to add someone’s post to your memories?
How often do you check your flist to see if someone’s added you?
Do you feel it’s impolite to have long conversations with someone on someone else’s journal?
Do you get annoyed when someone makes a comment just to correct a grammatical error, or makes a comment that’s only one word, or seems pointless to you?
How do you spell the gerund form of rec and beta?
General fandom
What did they use to put the tattoo on David Boreanaz’s back? Do you think they worried about getting it in the same place every time? And who gets the job of applying it, anyway?
Did David Boreanaz ever have a back double?
How tall is Nicholas Brendon? Okay now, how tall is he for real?
Am I the only slathering B/A fangirl who doesn’t think much of the episode IWRY?
Are there any fics out there about Anne (formerly Lily, formerly Chantarelle)?
Did anyone besides me really love Kate Lockley?
What DVD commentary do you like the best?
What’s J. Augest Richards doing these days? Alexis Denisof?
Joss Whedon
Why do some people hate Joss Whedon?
Whatever happened to the Ripper spin off?
Is there even the remote possibility of a Faith spin-off?
Is there even the remote possibility of the cartoon?
Did Serenity make enough money, or not?
I want someone explain comic books to me. I was really into X-men comics in preteen years, but one of the reasons I kind of dropped it was because I got confused (also, I got too tall to be comfortable sexing up with Wolverine and realized I would never have boobs like Rogue's. When you're 11, you still want boobs like Rogue's, even though you figure out by 12 NO ONE has boobs like Rogue's. Or even wants boobs like Rogue's, because ugh, back pain). There seemed to be so many different series all going on at once; I couldn't keep them straight. I didn't get the difference between Uncanny, Astonishing, and Amazing. Isn't there like . . . a diagram for these things?

Re: Long response... ::: deep breath :::
Basically, Joss put them back into costumes and turned them into heroes again, rather than the misunderstood corporate leaders that the previous writers had done.
To get a lot of the shock value, you'd have to understand several things before you read it though. First, Jean Grey/Marvel Girl/Phoenix is dead. Died. Buried. Again. So is Colossus/Peter Rasputin. Jean Grey has died and come back several times before. Colossus has stayed dead for several years now.
Uhhmm... Professor X is gone. Cyclops/Scott Summers and the White Queen/Emma Frost are now in charge of the school... and they're a couple now, though not everyone knows that at the beginning of the Joss book.
What else... ?
And as for numbering X-Men comics... each comic has its own numbering. Joss's Astonishing X-Men is 1 - 12. Yeah. All of the others are in their own system... However, a single storyline would be numbered with it. For example, The death of TKP might start in Uncanny #589. Part two would be in Astonishing #44. Part three in the next one and so on. There IS a way to keep up with it, but after a while, you wonder why you even bothered.
And speaking of comics... I have heard rumors of an Angel comic that came out recently that comes after Not Fade Away, written by Joss. You heard anything?
Re: Long response... ::: deep breath :::
They could never keep Jean dead, even if they tried. I remember Peter sacrificing himself to stop the Legacy virus in some thread or other, but everything is very vague in my head, and I might be mixing that up with something else.
Uhhmm... Professor X is gone.
Whoa, sadness. Thanks for the update. I'm definitely going to try to make time to read the JW-written ones.
The death of TKP might start in Uncanny #589.
Dude! Have to get that one ;o)

No, but that's not saying much. All I know about is Tales of the Vampires, Tales of the Slayers, and Fray, and I've never read any of them. Whedon did recently alude to a comic series he might write about Buffy and the Immortal, and that's the latest I've heard.
