Far be it from me to judge a book by its (back) cover, but I already have a couple of thoughts.

1: Prue's boss's challenge is just what most people would call her job.

2: The Manor is NOT a mansion.

Welcome to Television @welcometotv.bsky.social · 10d

Today's reading

The cover of a Charmed tie-in novel. Soul of the Bride

Back of novel.

Prue's editor at 415 magazine offers her a challenge: if she takes a really fantastic photo, he'll run it on the cover. This could be Prue's big break- if she can come up with a killer concept. Then Prue gets the idea to shoot a group of models in the Halliwell's Victorian Mansion. She'll even use an antique camera to capture the style of an old time photo. But when Prue snaps the shutter, all the models collapse into a deathly slumber! To rescue the Innocents, the Charmed Ones descend into Hades, fighting underworld perils and uncovering an unholy plot. To rescue the missing models, they must match wits with the greatest of the ancient Greek gods- and one of the sisters might not be allowed to return to her mortal life.

I would like to preorder this book right now with a side of wheat toast, please.

My next book will be a biography of Jack Nicholson, written as an epic story of the transformation of the movie industry and modern masculinity from the 1950s to the present, with Nicholson as the main character. The title: Leading Man.

New York Times bestselling author and film & TV critic at New York Magazine Matt Zoller Seitz's LEADING MAN, the definitive biography of Jack Nicholson, casting Nicholson as the complex main character in an era of American culture spanning six decades, while shining a light on the actor’s crucial role in shaping modern masculinity, both on and off the screen, based on new interviews and original reporting, to Amar Deol at Grand Central, in an exclusive submission, by Ethan Bassoff at WME.

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

So he's smart enough to know this is a dream, but not enough to realize that people in his dreams only know what he knows.

Welcome to Television @welcometotv.bsky.social · 12d

In this episode of 9-1-1 a character is in a coma and the whole episode is his coma dream. He realizes this and goes to another character who was also once in a coma (because that's the kind of show this is) and asks him about comas.

This one was a slog. I couldn't really tell you why because the writing was fine and the subject matter was interesting. I think maybe there was too much fighting and not enough quipping. A good Buffy story needs a balance of the two.

Chapter Twelve: a wrap up with Giles. Then Willow finally gets her own dream where she is Sarah's lover. Because of her deep soul connection with Xander.

There is a diner waitress, Edith, who is kind to Buffy and relatively unphased by demon activity. I really want a diner waitress in Sunnydale spin off.

Welcome to Television @welcometotv.bsky.social · 15d

Chapter Eleven: The final battle. Buffy disrupts the ritual by throwing a steak* knife and the Master angrily drags his demons back to hell.

*Get it? A STEAK knife

Time freeze! But also such a reminder of how fast technology moves. By the time Dawn starts high school, Buffy will gift her a cellphone. (Probably while remembering nights like this.)

Then, relieved, she found one soggy Dollar in her hip pocket. It was pressed flat; it must have gone through the washer/ dryer a couple of times. Buffy was afraid to unwrap it, but she clutched it like the lifesaver it was. Time to phone home again.

Chapter Ten: All the possessed Salem demons + Buffy + Xander possessed by a Salem witch find themselves at a roadside diner together to reenact the summoning.

Welcome to Television @welcometotv.bsky.social · 15d

Buffy, you don't taunt the monsters for them, you do it for yourself. And for love of the game.

"Oh Romeo, oh Romeo, about time you showed up." Buffy had no idea if any of the zombies had enough brains left to be taunted, but she'd noticed a couple of them veering off in the direction Cordelia and Augie had taken. She needed them all to follow her, without exception, if her plan was to work.

That was then, this is now

Until the zombies head rose out of the ground, quickly followed by the rest of its body. At that moment, Buffy would have gladly traded all the stakes in creation for one good minute with a surface-to-air missile launcher.

Chapter Nine: a zombie fight because...I guess we needed to pad the book length...

The ghost hunter comes across some teenagers having a seance and immediately assumes they're a cult set on world domination. I guess someone wasn't invited to any slumber parties in high school.
