just went to the DC site to look at their new releases for Sept.
1) Apparantly their going for the shot gun approach, put enough titles out, and their bound to get some winners (their view not mine)
2) Some of the titles look like there will be fairly minor changes if at all
3) Others, well lets just say it looks like their deep sixing a lot of history

And it doesn't hurt you can use Sleep and Confuse Purples either

the worst part is, we have to wait until Sept to see the rest of this season

we still have the question of how River has 1/2 Timelord DNA,
1) DNA was implanted somehow from Eyepatch lady and Company, I actually think this is the least likely. It was a LOT of effort to get specifically Amy's daughter, when anyone would've been fine. Plus if it was, if the Doctor's DNA was used, it would mean River is his daughter, and sort of preclude a romantic relationship, unless another DNA source was used.
2) Longterm exposure to the TARDIS, means a chance of a companion has a chance of siring a 1/2 TL, unlikely since it would mean that there should be a number of 1/2 TL's running around out there based on the number of companions the Doctor has had.
3) When the universe got rebooted, Rory was recreated as a TL( in his own way, he has already has had three incarnations, Rory before being erased from time, Rory the Nestine, and post universial reboot Rory)
4) Either Rory or Amy were already TLs. I actually like this idea. My thought here is, that before Gallifrey's destruction, one or more Gallifreyan children were sent out and hidden. It would sort of explain the effort to get Amy's child specifically.

I do hope the Eyepatch Lady does ultimately end up being the Rani.

I don't know, I found the movie enjoyable as long as I ignored Hex was based on comics, the supernatural angle to him was actually interesting, plus Megan Fox is such good eye candy. And it was closer to the comics than Catwoman was( which is to say it wasn't at all, although Halle Berry is also good eye candy), and wasn't as painful as watching Shumacher's(sp) take on Batman

Looks at Marvel and notes, they haven't had a single reboot, and just seem fine.

Looks at the negatives for,
-Inevitably loses a rich background history
-Inevitably messes up somewhere, looks at Hawkman for a momment, possibly the most messed up comic character of all time, for a long time, by comparison, Wolverine, the Marvel Character with the most messed up background, is much easier to understand
-Does tend to make long time readers lose interest in their favorite toons

*Note, I will say Marvel has made their fare share of major mistakes in the last few years, i.e. the entire Mutant Depowering thing, or bringing back Bucky

Reasons why they may think it is a swift idea
-Boost sales, not sure about this, considering they just had a reboot not that long ago.
-Try to make characters more appealing to the masses, sorry there is no easy route here beyond good writting and art, notes their efforts with WW in the last few years in that direction have been a disaster

-Explain the no aging thing, to give DC credit here, the classic Titan crew are at least twenty-somethings now, looks at Franklin Richards who has been a kid forever. I think it would be interesting to have some of their characters age. Note there are some ways around this, Superman and the other other alien characters likely live much longer than humans, WW may not age due to her nature, same goes with some of their mystical characters, a side benifit of being metahuman is slower aging, Batman keeps his youth via a Laz Pit, etc.

-Running out of good story ideas, again easily overcome with good writters

Why chose? You can have multiple builds now, one for NW and another for Fortuna?

Their both decent as others mentioned, its more about which style you prefer more, if you prefer more range with decent defense and control options, go Fort, if you prefer a primarily melee type go NW. There is a 3rd option, less distinct than the Huntsman build with soldiers, but what I believe is termed the blood widow. Basically your a fort who uses those melee attacks, unlike a NW, you wouldn't get some of the high end attacks, mental training, or elude elude, but you would get the control options of a fort, along with the Followup+Aim( you can get Followup+Aim, but not Followup+Build Up, combine that damage bonus to double assault and whatever damage set bonuses) Combination along with the mini nuke Psi Shockwave, note one of the benifits of getting the toon to 50, and getting its Alpha Slot unlocked, is that you can have all three builds.

For Lamda, I prefer to use either my Huntsman or Bane builds, Crab is fairly decent for BAF though

Looks at the Event, as well as V and Heroes

1) Really would have been better as a mini-series on the Networks
2) Would have done better on the Cable networks( cable execs seem to meddle less than their Network cousins)
3) The writting tended to get weak in the middle and convoluted
4) The Big break of 3 months+ seemed to kill the mommentum on the series


Looks at Doctor Who(BBC), BSG 2.0(SyFy when it was Sci Fi), True Blood( HBO), Torchwood( BBC), as well as quite a few non sci fi series, non of them could have been produced on the Networks as is. Heck NBC even found a way to murder Law and Order( when last year, they litterly made it the Law and Order channel).
