Meet the Squad: our new bloggers page
Over the last eight months or so, you've been seeing a lot of new names on TV Squad, and I'm sure you've been saying to yourself, "Self, who are all these people on my favorite TV blog? And why oh why, self, do I not know what they look like? Tell me, self... damn you!"Well, I have to admit to you all now: I've been remiss in adding the new bloggers to our "Meet the TV Squad" page; I've just been taking people out as they've left the site.
But some hot weather and lack of good baseball on TV (thank you, All-Star break!) gave me the time to redo the page. So when you click on the "Meet the TV Squad" banner on the left side of the screen, you'll see our new bloggers page.
Feedback wins Who Wants to be a Superhero
Rest easy, true believers. You can sleep safe in your beds knowing that Feedback is on the job. Software engineer Matthew Atherton beat out the last remaining contestant, Fat Momma, to win the inaugural edition of Sci-Fi's Who Wants To Be A Superhero. His alter-ego, Feedback, will now be featured in a Stan Lee comic, disrupting electronics while fighting for justice and fair play. If you would like to see how it all went down, the final episode is available to watch on the Sci-Fi Pulse.[via tvfilter]
This looks like a job for ... Cell Phone Girl?
We've been reporting on-and-off for several months now about Spider-Man creator Stan Lee's new series called Who Wants to be a Superhero, which will be appearing on the Sci-Fi Channel. Well, the premiere of the series is a mere two weeks away and the 11 superheroes that will be competing for a chance to appear in their own comic book and a Sci-Fi Channel movie have been chosen.
You can see the chosen heroes at Sci-Fi Channel's website. Some of the contestants take their hero personas seriously. For example, Matthew Atherton's alter ego, Feedback, absorbs powers and abilities from video games that he plays. That's a pretty decent concept. On the other hand, Chelsea Weld's Cell Phone Girl doesn't seem to be taking to whole thing seriously (well, seriously enough for a contest involving real life superheroes).
Maybe it's the name Cell Phone Girl that causes problems. I mean, would you really pick up an issue of Cell Phone Girl number one hundred, or watch a movie entitled The Further Adventures of Cell Phone Girl? Maybe the producers of Superhero will ask her to change her name to something like Free Minutes, or Roaming.
