Here are the geeky/nerdy links that piqued my interest this week:

  • Monday’s animated Google Doodle in honor of the 107th Anniversary of Winsor McCay’s Little Nemo in Slumberland is easily my favorite one they’ve done. (Techland)
  • It looks like Edgar Wright’s Ant Man finally got a release date albeit a long time from now. (Splash Page)
  • The video from Felix Baumgartner’s 24-Mile free-fall space jump is ridiculous. (Time)
  • Could there be an animated Firefly series? (The AV Club)
  • The first trailer for the Carrie remake starring Chloë Grace Moretz which is great casting. (io9)
  • I’m surprised it took this long for someone to mash-up Dexter and Dexter’s Laboratory but it was worth the wait. (Nerd Approved)
  • I’m excited that Clark Gregg is returning (somehow) as Agent Coulson for Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. show! (Splash Page)
  • Trailer for series four of Misfits.  It’s like a completely different cast now.  I hope I still like it.  (E4)
  • The best animated show on television, Bob’s Burgers, got renewed for season four! (Deadline Hollywood)
  • Back Pages discusses the first collection of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman (The AV Club)
  • For a person who eats as fast as I do, a strip that can heal mouth burns might be a godsend. (Geekologie)
  • Disney/Marvel released an official synopsis for Iron Man 3 (Splash Page)
  • Warner Bros plans to start shooting the Justice League film in summer of 2015.  That gives them plenty of time to find a cast, director, script, etc. (Blending Cool)

I got so wrapped up in my Best of 2009 mixtapes I forgot to do this.

The Power Rankings: (may contain mild spoilers)

10. The Mentalist (Episode: “Throwing Fire”) – I didn’t care much for Jane’s “origin” because it didn’t relate to the main case like the last times we revisited Jane’s past.

9. How I Met Your Mother (Episode: “Last Cigarette Ever”) – More or less a throwaway episode except for Older Ted’s explanation at the end when everyone really quits smoking.  It’s like they are holding serve until episode 100.

8. Friday Night Lights (Episode: “In The Bag”) – I find it hard to believe that Matt would leave Dillion and not call Julie in all that time.  That said, it did lead to some great acting from Aimee Teegarden.
