Look out, here come major spoilers for the Heroes finale (fair warning, we were both a wee bit underwhelmed).  Also, Buffy Season 8, general comics geekishness, phase variances, and an exclusive interview with Mr. Benjamin Kay, profanator at large.

It's like the Year of the Woman, only not.  On this episode, we discuss the gems of the Fox fall line-up (The Sarah Connor Chronicles, New Amsterdam, The Return of Jezebel James) and the re-imagined  Bionic Woman.  We also talk about the cursed genius of Wonderfalls, women as combat soldiers and fighter pilots, and the nature of kick-ass women in regular life.  And gastrointestinal distress.  You have been warned.

Finally, Ben Kay is on sabbatical this week, so we give you the lyrical stylings of the World's 579th Greatest Rapper instead.  It's a little ditty called "I Hate Your Blog" and it's from the new album called "Secrets from the Future".  Enjoy.

First Friday round-up means art, art, and more art. Susan Z busts Biscuit's chops about a quotation, but proceeds to be completely wrong herself -- the line is from Ghostbusters, not The Breakfast Club, and it goes "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria."  i think we'll all sleep better knowing that.  Also, Ben Kay brings us a most interesting version of William Wordworth's  The Perfect Woman.

Movie madness -- Transformers, Batman, and Spidey 3. Plus, Ben Kay's expert eye falls on G.K. Chesterton.

The Rookie, Seventh Son, Heroes, and Biscuit thinks he's Mr. Clever Dick.  Plus Ben Kay finds a surprising passage in The Prophet.
