Show starts it's second to last season this Sunday with a two hour premiere. I really really really like this show, but at the same time, it's not exactly the most riviting/edge of your seat show on television. Reading about the season is a little annoying because Matt Weiner seems to be a pretentious control freak. He rubs me the wrong way, but I can't say I wouldn't be the same way if I had created this show either. Still, who cares if we know what year the show starts in? It's not...

With the spring and summer months coming up thought it would be a good time to start this thread. So far I have three vacations in the works. In May I'm going to visit a friend in Myrtle Beach, SC for a week. In June I'm going to spend a long weekend in Cooperstown, NY for the Baseball Hall of Fame (I may be going back in August as well).

I suppose it's time to start the next volume of this thread! I just noticed that Superman Earth One vol 2 is out. My next purchase.

There was a time, many years ago when most of us had heros. Many of them were sports personalities. Back then the media was much more friendly to and protective of them. We only heard the good and nothing of their foibles. But by and by the media began to expose our heros for what they were, Human beings with character flaws.
