Superhero is The first official music video from new band TimAndTheSpaceCadets. It’s a bit bubble gum for me but it IS adorable. For videos, pictures, music, and lots more, be sure to check out their website… TimAndTheSpaceCadets.com

Plus “Tim” is kinda cute too. Great blue eyes. Possible retouched, but great.

As usual – his review is right on the money. GayComicGeek consistently has great reviews of comics, books, shows and movies that interest me. So OF COURSE he’s put up his opinion on Smallville: Absolute Justice…
But first, here is an amazing image of him as a superhero drawn by Ezra O’Neary a.k.a. E-Z-ON. Click on the image to see GayComicGeek’s post on it. And here is a link to his video on it and a review to Siege #2.
Kinda pissed me off that YouTube wouldn’t make him a YouTube partner even though he’s been following their guidelines. Sick of corporate judgment.

I’m SO EXCITED!!!! I’m trying to explain the historical significance of the Justice Society of America’s first Primetime appearance to Popapathy but don’t think he’s feeling my joy.
Sylvester Pemberton, Courtney Whitmore, Wesley Dodds, Carter Hall, Kent Nelson… LOVED IT!!! Biggest nerdgasm I’ve seen on TV EVER. So many fanboy nods! The shots in museum panning over the memorabilia were magnificent and I loved the painting… anyone seen the image online yet?
A bit surprised Clark never thought to ask why they all looked so young. I’m hoping that Geoff Johns is grooming JSA to be Smallville’s spinoff successor. But if he is, the costumes need work. Stargirl looked OK, but how hard is it to design a belly shirt and hot pants. I stick by my original assertion that Hawkman should have been played by someone who was more believable as a mace-wielding barbarian. The ab covering harness looked ridiculous with Shanks’ (nice for an ordinary human but far from the Hawkman we are accustomed to) arms coming out of it. Dr Fate looked like he was wearing football pads under his blue spandex. Either cast actors who have the physique to fill the costume or hire better costume designers.
BUT enough negativity… costumes aside I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the 2 hour special episode. I hadn’t realized Checkmate was part of it until I read the on demand episode synopsis. Pam Grier as Amanda Waller is sheer brilliance and it looks like we’ve not seen the last of her… or hopefully the JSA. FINGERS CROSSED! WE LOVE YOU GEOFF JOHNS!

I Laughed, I Cried, It Became a Part of Me
The final (snif sniff) episode of the series is Epitaph 2: Return. Jump 10 years in the future to the second half of the rarely seen (only on the DVD) first Season 13th episode – Epitaph 1. Meet Zone, Mag and a little girl who is imprinted with… well watch for yourself dammit! I looked like a schizophrenic mess watching it – laughing one minute and weeping the next. Fun for the whole family. Well that is if your whole family enjoys apocalyptic nightmare scenarios involving out of control mind control tech that was created to build a better hooker. I LOVE JOSS WHEDON! Bye Echo! You’ll be missed 
Only flaw I noticed was no attempt to make the characters LOOK like it was 10 years older. Seemed a bit odd that they looked like they hadn’t aged a day since the fall of Rossum.
I’m so sorry Joss didn’t get a chance to tell us more from the Dollhouse universe. As commented in the post about the previous episode, Whedon truly is a storyteller of epic proportions. As much as I’d like to see him write for the movies, I hope he hasn’t REALLY given up on series television. Love your work Joss!!!! Network execs suck. Its all numbers. I don’t know how they even figure those numbers now anyway – on demand and websites like hulu making sharing TV possible online, the ratings of who watched it the night it aired are irrelevant.
The comment also blaming the audience isn’t that far off the mark. The general public would rather watch petty fame whores duke it out over whose the better dancer, cook, hairdresser, dressmaker, interior designer, drag performer or pet groomer (really?). And while I’ll reluctantly admit to loving Tabitha’s Salon Takeover (just because she is a bitch from hell doesn’t make her wrong) and the first few seasons of Runway, I think reality TV is a serious danger to the future of original programming and we get closer to The Running Man every day.
I also think there are many Joss Whedon fans who gave up when they were not grabbed by the first 5 or so episodes. In some ways the series didn’t really pick up until we started learning more about “Alpha” and the danger he represented, and I think too many of the Buffy and Firefly fans dropped off before Dollhouse reached a point where they might have been hooked.

Smallville Absolute Justice airs on the CW for 35 days
The highlight of the last season of Smallville was the Legion of Superheroes episode written by Geoff Johns. So of course I was overjoyed to hear that he was bringing the superteam he made great again to the small screen – The legendary Justice Society!!!! Hawkman, Dr. Fate and Stargirl are the announced guest stars, but I’d expect a few more easter eggs for the fanboys in the viewing audience. Absolute Justice is a special 2 hour Smallville event so be sure to tune or set your VCR, Tivo or whatever on Friday, February 5th at 8pm! Not to be missed. THERE WILL BE A TEST.
I’m not sure how I feel about the casting of Michael Shanks as Hawkman – I loved his character on Stargate, but he does not have the body of a mace-wielding winged barbarian. Carter Hall may be an archeologist by trade, but he looked more like a mercenary. Maybe I’ll feel differently when I see the episode, but from the look of Shank’s arms in the costume, I doubt it.

Make sure you’ve seen the first episode of 2010 before watching the video below or reading further – I MEAN IT!
With last second to last weeks episode (below) tying so many loose ends into a tight little bow, we only have one more hour of Dollhouse left before it sadly fades into TV oblivion. This is such a great show that I’m going to be severely bummed every time I remember that its over.
Echo and her very own Scooby Gang into the heart of Rossum to retrieve the potentially world-ending tech Topher designed AND to take down the head man, problem is she brought him with her!
The final episode appears to be a continuation of the unaired 13th episode from 1st season (available on the DVD) set in the apocalyptic future that resulted from the out of control Dollhouse tech.

It is a LITTLE gay. Actually it’s a LOT gay. ENJOY! Smallville’s Aquaman Alan Ritchson happily hazes some of his hot jockstrapped teammates from Blue Mountain State – a new show on SPIKE which I’ve not heard of, but based on this clip I’ll definitely have to check out… Anyone watch it? Is there a gay player? Fingers crossed!
I need to watch this show if only to find out exactly what kind of freak Ritchson is playing. He’s a bit too eager to run with the boys, and there’s the ending… (watch the whole video – there’s a special treat in last few seconds). Here’s a peek into the psyche of Thad Castle…
Via SeducedByTheNew
UPDATE: I watched 2 back-to-back episodes of Blue Mountain State tonight… one was the clip that the jockstrap cookie race was in (so now the rest is starting to make sense), the other took the boys to a strip club. This is a show that is trying to offend, but I couldn’t help laughing. Alan Ritchson as Thad Castle is the worst kind of alpha male… a physically perfect asshole with little to no regard for others. He’ll make an excellent villain/foil for the frosh that he torments. I’m curious if they will explore his character or keep him the cartoon he is and just play it for laughs. Latter is the surer bet, but I’d watch either. He’s just SO pretty.

Its a bit of a Whedon love fest here lately, but I’ve been waiting for this since the last batch of Dollhouse episodes I watched. More history on Caroline and her “friend” Bennet as Echo seeks to add her original personality as Caroline Farrell. PLUS The explosive return of Amy Acker as Dr. Saunders. Also who is mysterious face behind Rossum!
FANTASTIC episode!!!!! I wish some of the people who checked it out early first season and lost interest would start watching again. It has been amazing lately. This episode REALLY blew my mind. Leaves me with SO many questions!

Its a brand new year and about time for all the shows to come back from their mid-winter break. Monday night brought us a special 2-hour episode of Heroes…
Hulu is having technical difficulties… here is direct link.
Did the dreadlocked carny FIX Hiro’s tumor or just give him a wicked case of word salad? I love his scrambled fanboy speech and found myself saying “that’s where the X-Men train” at the exact same time as Ando which amused Popapathy to no end. Here are the geekboy references I caught so far… Don Quixote, Star Wars, Highlander, Battlestar Galactica, Camelot, Batman, Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek, X-Men and Spider-Man. Did I miss any?
How does Samuel know so much about the powers of deaf Dazzler/Venus? Either HRG must have bagged and tagged her at some point in the past and cataloged her abilities before Haitianing her, or Samuel’s met someone like her before. The former seems more likely.
But what exactly does he have planned? A lovely green homeland for the super powered carnies in an of itself isn’t a danger? or is it? Considering the events happening right now in Marvels’ The Siege, maybe creating a maintain fortress for a colony of powerful beings might not go over well with the Government. Also considering Samuel killed a partyful of rich folks just for kicks, what kind of collateral damage might he create in making his paradise?
His family finally gets to say farewell to Nathan Petrelli. We’ve been so busy watching Sylar running around with his face that there was no time to mourn Nathan’s passing. Umm they couldn’t spring the extra $$$ to have his wife (Rena Sofer) and children show up at the funeral? Instead they have some stand in with dark hair in the background at the wake.
Hulu is having technical difficulties… here is direct link.
What is it with insane earth movers? Samuel’s power FX are put to good use here. I shudder to think what he could do to a populated area if he chose. Even big bad Sylar was taken out pretty fast (a little too fast – there should have been an X-Men-3 wolverine-struggling-through-the-fire-moment). It looks like although Nathan may be gone, some of him remains in Sylar who is having a hard time getting his index finger up enough to kill. I have to admit I’m positively atingle at the thought of Sylar all tatted up like Lydia, her ability will be a nice addition, glad she didn’t have to die for it. Thought she was a goner when she called him impotent. But isn’t it interesting that what he wants/needs is Clair?
And c’mon how much would have had to pay West to fly in for a cameo instead of just suggesting he came by off camera.
Hulu is having technical difficulties direct link here.
Interesting preview… our deaf dazzling siren seems to be riding a carnival ride with her cello and crazy eyes like she’s gonna play a tune and go boom. Hope Peter can save her!

I absolutely LOVE the way they are telling the story of the developing relationship between Oliver and Kyle on One Life to Live. They are so sweet, tender and romantic together. I wonder how the suburban moms of the midwest are taking it…
Plus a few more moments with Oliver and Kyle…
I know the storyline will only go on as long as the regular viewers like it so I hope they are enjoying the beefcake as much as we are. There have been other gay arcs on soaps before, but the characters generally get shuffled off into limbo eventually. Lets hope Oliver and Kyle become longtime Llanview residents.

GLEE, Vol. One: Road to Sectionals (first half of Season One) is already available on DVD! Now I also generally prefer to wait for a full season box set, but I thought I would include this because hulu only shows the 5 most recent episodes and I figured with the buzz surrounding the show, there might be latecomers who want to catch up before the second half of the season begins. So check out this item and much more (GLEE Sheet Music, All 14 GLEE Posters, 2 Soundtrack CDs and and endless supply of individual MP3 downloads) in the GLEE section of the QueerSUPE Comic Book (and pop culture) Shop.

GLEE is definitely one of my top favorites this season, and actually the only show I ALWAYS watch the night it airs as opposed to catching it later on hulu. The cast is amazing and I’m loving the journey their characters have been going on thus far this season. I’ve previously admitted to being partial to musicals so it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that I think GLEE is the best show on TV at the moment.

If you visit the GLEE section of the store, be sure to check out all the individual MP3 downloads! Some REALLY great stuff.

Here is a look back at some pivotal moments from prime time soaps reflecting the evolution of the way gay male characters have been portrayed on American network TV over the past 25 years.

In case you missed it, Echo is now tapping into all the abilities and memories of the many imprinted personalities that her psychotic nemesis / jilted stalker “Alpha” dumped into her brain. Which is a pretty cool superpower… if you don’t mind the headaches. PLUS Things are really heating up at the Dollhouse as pieces are being moved into place to create that apocalyptic future seen in the special missing Dollhouse episode only available on the Season one DVD where we see that Rossum’s technology to remote imprint someone leads to NO GOOD WHATSOEVER. I missed a few episodes this season so I’ll definitely have to check out that inevitable Season 2 box set.
It seems that Adele has lost control of her Dollhouse and I missed exactly how. But now that she’s been defeated, just how far will she go to take her Dollhouse back and keep her dolls in line? Catch up on these episodes before new ones start up in January… Hulu only keeps the 5 most current episodes up at a time so these will go away.

For those who watched Supernatural last night… do you think that future Sam (actually Lucifer in Sam’s hot bod) seemed more than a bit stereotypical with his speech patterns, dandyesque white suit and rose cultivating?

Not that off topic… flying is a superpower! GLEE”s Kurt Hummel is probably the first overly fabulous gay character I’ve truly enjoyed in awhile. QaF’s Emmet Honeycutt grew on me over the seasons but I may have been a wee bit partial because he was the freshman roommate of a college buddy. Kurt rules!

I LOVE GLEE!!! Loved seeing Kurt’s Dad force them to have an audition. I wish he’d gotten the solo. He would have if he hadn’t thrown the tryout. But I can see how he might.

The gay hijinks in Llanview keep on coming! In the Llanview gay-marriage-palooza in which every gay couple in town is about to tie the knot Oliver reveals to everyone who didn’t know yet that he’s gay and Kyle says he’s proud of him for doing that. When the ceremony begins, Nick tells Kyle he loves him, and Kyle realizes he doesn’t love him back; he loves Oliver. He leaves Nick at the proverbial altar and asks Oliver for another chance. Both agree they should try a date before they get married.
It’s official they’re a couple… let the pillow talk begin.
I was more than a little surprised to see Dorian Lord among the gay couples getting married… Is she just using the lesbian to make some guy jealous? That would be so Dorian. Looks like her angle is political instead of romantic. In the real world I don’t think the protesting bigots would have stopped their yelling for the ceremony.

It is so funny to think of the original V miniseries as nostalgia suitable for updating, but it HAS been over 20 years. I was a HUGE fan of V. I was glued to my screen for both V and V The Final Battle. I even watched the first series.
Here is the pilot for the new series. It shows promise.
WATCHING NOW: They call it a “reimagining” so there will be differences… but it remains to be seen just how many. Despite changes made, I’m fairly confident in saying THE VISITORS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS! Big diff so far is the teen who gets involved with the Visitors is a cute but dumb boy (seriously hops onto his motercycle and zooms into downtown traffic in the middle of a crisis – moron) instead of a cute but dumb girl. But at least he’s hot.

If you are 1/2 the Geoff Johns fan that I am you are waiting on pins and needles for the January episode of Smallville entitled “Society.” Johns gave fans the following tidbits via Twitter…
Yes, Hawkman will have wings. And a big mace. Oh. And he and Green Arrow don’t get along. At all.
Michael Shanks just cannot get away from Egyptian symbology as he’s stepped away from the Stargate but into the harness of Hawkman, whose origin is deeply rooted in ancient Egypt. The actor playing Doctor Fate is another Stargate refugee… Brent Strait. The presence of Britt Irvin as Stargirl threw me – I was thinking abut the predecessors of the JLA in a mentoring role to Clark, not so much the modern legacy JSA members. I wonder if any of the other new blood will show up?

I LOVED last season’s Legion episode. I would be overjoyed to see a spin-off from either that episode or this upcoming “Society.” I think both are rife with possibilities. Especially if they involve the mind of Geoff Johns. My only fear is him becoming a bigtime writer for TV and not having time for the red-headed bastard stepchild that is the comics industry. I’m talking to YOU Heinberg!

GLEE’s bad boy Noah Puckerman a.k.a. Puck a.k.a. Mark Salling wasn’t as easy to find images of… the best shots were from his above-ground-pool-cleaning business flashback.
