Welcome to another Marvel vs. DC fight to the finish. Before we go over last week's winner in the fight between The Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) and Quasar (Wendell Vaughn), let me just say that I was pleasantly surprised by the types of responses we received. Also, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, check out part one HERE and find out why this battle was just so hard to judge. For those of you who have been waiting to hear just who won, let me just say it was so close I almost had to declare a draw. Without further adieu, here is your winner...

Here’s a fun “Would You?” question. Would you hire an incredibly sexy woman who only dressed in tight miniskirts to raise your kids, BUT, she would have to have an equally annoying voice that would make Steve Urkele sound like Morgan Freeman? It’s quite the conundrum. Luckily for you, we here at Channel Surfer have run across a simulation, or “sitcom,” that helps answer this very question. It’s called, The Nanny.

After another annoying wait, The Vampire Diaries returns with the prom-centric episode, Pictures of You.  Overall, the episode felt a little lackluster compared to my expectations, mostly because the prior episode was full of deceitful twists and turns, heart-stopping action, and seeing complex layers of many of our characters that we don’t always see in them.  As in most episodes of The Vampire Diaries, these things were present here, but some moments were richer than others that were a little slow and didn’t have quite the same effect.

I have to agree with my fellow writer and co-podcaster Dylan for the most part. The SyFy Channel seems to have put all their money on Defiance, spamming us with ads for months! I’m not sure why they chose this approach. I have a feeling combined with the game and big(ish) name cast members that this is one of their most expensive shows. And if you have a marketing campaign as massive as theirs, you better deliver.
