The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: Buffing our Zygoma~
THURSDAY
Here they are in all their glory, the Sherlock Limited Edition 1:6 Scale Figures! Damn my lack of money again!
Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. got a full season on ABC. Yay! So, now we have 22 episodes in total. And while the ratings have dropped, it’s still pretty decent. But, will it mantain interest for a full season? Well, we need more intrigue, superpowered people, Melinda May and things that tie them to the movies. I guess one cheap way to achieve the later is to make Titus Welliver (from the Marvel One-Shot film Item 47) return as Agent Blake. Yep, he’ll be on an episode called “FZZT” about a serial killer whose victims are found floating in mid-air. Now, that’s cool!
Michael B. Jordan is having a hell of a time since Fruitvale Station won Sundance, and now he talks about all those rumors or dream castings that link him to many projects such as Star Wars new trilogy, the Fantastic Four reboot and the Independence Day sequel. Nothing is set on stone but he sure will love to be a part of any (or all) of them!
FRIDAY
You know those early Doctor Who episodes found in Nigeria? Nine of them can be bought on Apple’s iTunes now!
On NYCC news, there was this “Women in Comics” panel. And, of course, there was talk about Wonder Woman. This is what comicbook creator Becky Cloonan had to say:
Wonder Woman is almost a victim of her success as an icon. I think the trouble comes because she’s so iconic. Her strength as an icon has almost undermined the ability to market her. We’re myth-building and story-telling. Stories have to be retold for younger generations. Wonder Woman just needs her Killing Joke. That one iconic story that everyone will remember. The definitive Wonder Woman story.
Also, Loki will get his own comic book called Loki: Agent of Asgard and I am dying. Loki is now a young adult and when did that happen?
You’ll have to read Young Avengers to find out all the specifics, but magic was involved. And scheming. Lots and lots of scheming.
So, for now, it looks like Loki is on the side of good (or at least Asgard), but how long? And what does this means to Young Avengers? Dammit, I love Kid Loki. Will I learn to love Young Adult Loki? I mean, sure, it’s the same Loki, but it’s also not the same because it won’t be writen by Kieron Gillen!
Lee Pace talks about his character Ronan the Accuser in Guardians of the Galaxy. He sure has nice words to say!
He’s a fucking psycho! He’s a real monster. I’ve had the best time playing this character. I’m glad its all on film and I never thought I could be so nuts in it
Tom Hiddleston has being doing promotion for Thor: The Dark World and is looking mighty fine while doing so as photographic evidence shows us. In Australia, he went around carrying fans and almost giving his PR an aneurism. Now on China, he travelled around doing the touristy thing as going to The Great Wall, and also talked a lot to fans on Weibo. During the official presentation though, there was new footage. A whole 30 minutes of it. This is the description and it’s quite spoilery.
My other favourite, Benedict Cumberbatch also had an interesting Friday! He answered some questions from fans on Reddit, where he was very sassy! To the question of “Do you, Matt smith, and Tom Hiddleton have cheek bone polishing parties?”, we got:
We like nothing better than buffing our Zygoma. And imagining a horny time traveling long overcoat purple scarf wearing super sleuth nordic legend fuck fantasy. Get to work on that, internet.
The internet delivered! Benedict was also on The Graham Norton Show (well, he was on Wednesday but it aired today), and there was talk about Sherlock [1] and Star Wars [2]… because Harrison Ford was also there. Ford also said that he admired Benedict, who looked like he was about to cry. He also made a good impression of Chewbacca~

And that it’s for the week. Before I go, I want to wish Happy Birthday to Kate Winslet, Matt Damon, Sigourney Weaver, Steve McQueen, Guillermo del Toro and Manu Bennett~
