Picture of Maiya - Thanks, Kae!
As part of our little kick-off to Hand of the Goddess, Kae drew this wonderful picture of Maiya and the fugly naked mole-rat the Plutonian people were comparing her to. The detail in the picture is great, and one of the traits that makes this artist so good. Thanks, Kae! I love it!

Story Update, Emma, and a Movie!
For those who might not have found it yet, I've posted the first part of Hand of the Goddess on the DocSpace forum. We're taking a detour to the past with this one, and will focus primarily on Setsuna. The story does tie in with the Fate universe, but as a prequel will stand completely on it's own for those not familiar with any of the stories that were written before it.
Want to get in a recommendation for Emma: A Victorian Romance while I'm here. I want to do a review for it once I get through the second viewing of the season one, but will say that this show comes highly recommended and is one of the best I've had the pleasure of viewing. The animation is incredible and extremely detailed, the storyline is a nice change in pace from standard anime, and the setting is well researched so nothing feels out of place. RightStuf did a great job with the packaging giving us a gorgeous box set with one of the best and most useful extras I've ever seen. The Victorian Gazette goes into all kinds of detail about the series and the era in a thick booklet that fits inside the box. Go out and grab it, then pre-order season 2, which comes out at the end of October. Be one of the first 1000 people to pre-order from TRSI before the end of July and you'll get your name in the credits. :)
Last night I abandoned Doc to go see the X-Files on opening night. I enjoyed it a lot and was surprised to find it more monster of the week than mytharc. Avoiding any and all spoilers will do that to you. :) No complaints whatsoever here -- good story with a familiar feel, actors completely back in character, a good supporting cast, Chris Carter directing. Would have liked to see Mitch Pileggi a little more, but at least they got him in when it counted. Skinner is the only man in Washington with "the balls to get things done." Woohoo!!!
