Thinking About Holiday Specials
It's occurred to me that I have a deep dark secret. I love holiday specials.
Not tv movies or that sort of thing, I can do with out those. But when you have a normal tv shows that suddenly put up halloween decorations or a menorah or a christmas tree or the like? I'm totally hooked.
Comic books too, of course. Halloween specials, holiday specials, special thanksgiving issues, all that stuff. I just love them. :-)
I have no idea why, I'm not much of a holiday person myself, and particularly in the case of comics, holiday celebrations are awfully inconvenient. (So okay, it's supposed to have only been so many years since Zero Hour, but they've had HOW many Christmases?!)
I dunno though, there's something about seeing characters I like just...do normal person stuff for a little while. Sure the Christmas Tree's probably going to get totalled during a supervillain attack and trick-or-treating's invariably going to end up being disrupted by zombies, werewolves, or something else. :-) There's just something about the little things. :-)
I might be a sap. :-)

I still wished they would have gone with the whole zombie barry allen angle, but I can forgive them for giving me more red rain batman...

Just once I'd like to see them celebrate Arbor Day.

Infinite Arbor Day Special, where Batman figures out the perfect trees to plant in different climates, and Wonder Woman, GL, and Superman all rush around planting the trees as fast as superhumanly possible. While Mogo grins.

Good grief, Centurion! How did you stumble across the plot for the next huge cross-over?
