Tederick.com is winning the war on comment spam, Internet. Spammage? Down 80-frickin'-percent! Yes this sort of thing actually gets me revved up. WE ARE KICKING ASS HERE GUYS. I would feel bad for the spammers... if they weren't worthless, rape-crazed cockroaches.

Extreme Steve, unfortunately, will not be appearing this week due to some delays in the art department for episode 43. As I'm sure you can intuit from the past few weeks' issues, this one's gonna be a doozy - a real season capper, and I'm quite proud of it - so it's taking a bit longer than usual. Extremely sorry! Perhaps this Mamo will be a balm to your injured soul? Recorded yesterday, I really enjoyed it. One of the upsides to us not Mam-ing as frequently as we used to is that when we get around to it, we've got a sweet fuckload to talk about. Like the Joker, Summer Glau, and Pirates, Pirates, Pirates. Woot.

I've said it before but I'll say it again: I haven't been this excited about a Harry Potter movie since the first one. Man howdy that thing looks brick shithouse. That shot of the DOM Avengers sprinting down the row of prophecies while all hell breaks loose behind them... yeah I'm all about that in a deep and personal way. "We're in this together." Damn right.

Hope for humanity alert: New York cabs go green by 2012.

Another year: gone! Strangely enough the show that most made me notice that a whole season has once again passed us by was Heroes, the one whose pilot got me so damn excited that I was making Watchmen references. Man that show is jus dreadful. Actually the word that really describes it is clumsy. Spectacularly clumsy. The commercials for various summer movies that aired during the finale were significantly more enjoyable than the finale itself... but I'll give the episode a pass, if only for Shaft. Goodness gracious, the world needs more Shaft.
