2, 2, 7, 3, 500, 18, 5, 28

RS2 and I finished our rewatch of Season 2 of "Blake's 7" on Blu-ray. Alas, S3 won't be out until December (sources say).

I kept this nearly 500-page current-day spy thriller from my late father's library because the central spy is also supposed to be an art restorer. Said character did zero restoration in "The Other Woman", but given that it's the 18th(!) novel in the series, I guess the author can be forgiven for running out of ways to link preserving paintings with foiling enemy agents. Or, in this case, sniffing out a possible mole with a possible connection to the infamous Cambridge Five. Despite the size of the book, the pages turned quickly and every chapter left me wanting to know more, even if "T/O/W" never felt like anything but premium-quality genre content. 

28 years after calling time on the wonderful, WONDERFUL "Calvin And Hobbes" newspaper strip, cartoonist Bill Watterson released this collaboration. An storybook rather than a comic, it is short, dark, ugly, depressing, puzzling (on multiple levels) and just profoundly underwhelming. "C&H" still rules, though.
