Gold Exchange: Jurgens on TV
If you want news about Dan Jurgens, Russ Burlingame is the journalist to get it for you. Last week, he posted Jurgens' immediate reaction to the news that Booster Gold may be headed to SyFy on ComicBook.com:
ComicBook.com: The description given to The Hollywood Reporter feels a bit more like the original Booster Gold run, playing down the time travel aspect outside of just the origin story and playing up the "saving today to ensure a better tomorrow" part. You've been pretty heavily invested in both volumes; what take would you run with if you had to submit a pilot script to Syfy?
DJ: For a general audience, the pattern of Booster Gold Volume One probably fits best. The book that Geoff Johns, Jeff Katz and I did was a little more "inside baseball", if you will, keying on cool moments in DC's history. Plus, when you look at Booster's original concept, which is being both hero and fame whore, well, I think that seems even more tuned in with our world today than it did when I first created him. I think that tanslates quite well to TV.
Geoff picked up on much of that with his script to Smallville— dancing girls in every episode!
Seems to me there's a great deal there to work with.
If it's good enough for Booster's creator, it should be good enough for the rest of us!

Giving Thanks for the Fans
The penultimate chapter of "The Tomorrow Memory" story was the winner in last week's poll, though not by overwhelming numbers. Thanks to all who voted.
Last week's poll question: What is the best single comic book that features Booster Gold? (43 votes)
While the results of last week's poll inspires a number of questions for future polls, there is a much more pressing question after this week's big news.

Giving Thanks for Beefcake
Happy Thanksgiving. Take your time, enjoy your meal. Let Booster Gold take care of the dishes.
Artist Erica Henderson hints that she wants to do a 2013 DC beefcake calendar on her blog I Fail At Life, That's Why I Became An Artist. That sounds like something we can give thanks for.

Giving Thanks for Hollywood
As announced yesterday by Lacey Rose of the The Hollywood Reporter, the SyFy network has optioned a pilot for a series based on Booster Gold.
The project, which hails from Greg Berlanti's Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Horizon Television, will count Berlanti (Brothers & Sisters, No Ordinary Family, Green Lantern) as an executive producer. Fringe's Andrew Kreisberg, who collaborated with Berlanti on ABC's Eli Stone, is on board to pen the script and executive produce. DC Comics will also receive an EP credit.
Holy. Crap.
It seriously appears that Booster Gold could possibly have his own television show! This news has spread like wildfire across the internet (and announcements about the show have filled up the Boosterrific inbox), indicating that there is some serious interest in the fan community about Booster going live action full time. Someone get Skeets an agent, quick!
