"But I find that I cannot stop myself from pointing out that it is spelled "bwah-ha-ha." *swallows back laugh* That's it. Less caffeine for you, young man. I'll go tell Ma.

I'm so, so sorry. My only defense is that I run a site called Boosterrific devoted to a comic book character. What could you reasonably expect from me?

TGB, in the future, may I request that you post the URL of the specific post you'd like us to visit rather than just your blog URL. In this case: http://thegreatestblogyouveneverheardof.blogspot.com/2010/06/waiting-week-blue-gold-reunited.html. That way, when your front page has changed, people who read these comments will still be directed to the post that you wanted to share. Thanks.

Sorry, Harry! You caught me in the middle of a site script update that apparently swallowed your comment. I've rolled back to an earlier, functioning script, so everything should be running smoothly now. (I hope).

Actually, I screwed up. I had a post about it for here and was merely putting that in the link box. No idea what happened -- only that link showed up (which I put in the appropriate box) -- sorry to clutter your site!

Don't worry about the clutter, TGB. I only want the posts to be relevant in perpetuity, in so much as that is possible in an archive for daily updates about a specific comic book character. I'd rather have someone like you around filling the comments with bad links than some of those typical internet trolls who would like to fill the comments with links to cheap Viagra prescriptions.

Some thoughts on Blue and Gold....
As much as I enjoy Ted Kord, and do hope he is returned someday, I have come to believe that his death has elevated the character beyond what it was when BB was alive. Perhaps the phenomenon is similar to how the Flash's death in CoIE #8 in many ways created the "Saint Barry" perception. It has provided all kinds of character development for Booster Gold. Ted's death was and is important.
And the Jaime Reyes character is good. It took a while, but the new BB has grown on me quite a bit. But if the character is to ever properly assume the legacy, he absolutely must establish a believable and entertaining relationship with Booster. Ted and Booster are defined by one another. The Blue and Gold have a respected place in comicland consciousness and its "absence" creates a vacuum to be filled.
So here comes Giffen, who established the Blue and Gold in the first place. Can he catch lightning again? Part of me really hopes so. In fact, Gen Lost could suck as a story but would be completely redeemed in the long run if Jaime and Booster build a relationship of which people want to see more. I, for one, wish him luck in the effort.

Took the words outta my mouth, Harry, as far as BB and Booster go. Can't speak so much to the "Saint Barry" stuff.

Ditto on everything you said Harry. But at the same time there also has to be a different sort of bond between Jaime and Booster, which I think can be neatly built from his appearance in the Blackest Night tie in. Other than Dick Grayson and Skeets, Jaime in the only one in JLGL who knows anything about Boosters' time traveling. That sort of gives them a bond that even his other JLI team members don't have.
