The annual family trip to Nerd Mecca was great! I am always amazed that the wife and kids still indulge me in our yearly ritual. The best part of Comic Con this year was that I got to see the pilot episodes for new series like Supergirl, Lucifer, Containment, Ash vs the Evil Dead, and Jessica Jones. The 2015-16 TV season is going to be amazing for comic nerds like myself.
Everyone of the pilots, with the exception of Supergirl, left me excited for the new television season. Supergirl looked great from a visual and special effects perspective but the tone of the show seems too “Ally McBeal” for my tastes. In contrast, Jessica Jones and Containment took a much darker direction by focusing on flawed characters who are forced to come to grips with serious and deadly challenges. No so much the case for the “girl of steel”.
