2:29PM - Primeval fans, anyone?
If this is inappropriate, let me know ASAP and I'll delete.
Just wondering if there's anyone out there on JF who, like me, is a fan of ITV's Primeval. If so, how much are you looking forward to the third season airing in January, and what sorts of things do you expect/think will/might happen?
2:46PM - Joan Winston in the NY Times
In the annual "The Lives They Lived" issue of the NY Times Magazine, Rob Walker contributes a lovely appreciation of Joan Winston. Arguably not precisely deathwatch-related, even if it is an obituary of sorts, because alongside Walker offers some interesting observations about media fandom, the role that the internet has played in fandom in recent years, and changes in perception of media fandom since Winston organized the first Trek convention. An excellent short read—check it out.
Non-fandom-related and also worth reading: Well, pretty much the entire issue, but I call particular attention to the essays about Mildred Loving (really touching), Levi Stubbs and Dee Dee Warwick, Bobby Fischer, John List (disturbing and fascinating), Steve Fossett, and Eula Mae Doré (which, along with the Loving essay, almost made me start crying over brunch at the local coffeeshop).
