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 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!

Old Releases: Booster Gold on DVD
No new comic books featuring Booster Gold are scheduled for released today, but if you have to spend some money to get your fix of Booster Gold, consider picking up the Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Season 2 Part 1 DVD. Frequent site contributor Morgenstern notes that the Amazon.com listing for the animated DVD lists only 2 actors: Batman and Booster Gold! Who knew that Booster Gold did his own voice-over work?
It's just like Booster to hog the limelight when he isn't even the featured star. Batman actually works with 35 heroic guests stars on the 12 episodes on the DVD, and only two of them are Booster Gold and Skeets. The pair appear as contestants on the Riddler's game show, "Riddle Me This?" in the introduction to the episode "A Bat Divided!"
Skeets probably doesn't receive billing because he doesn't have a speaking part: as you can see in the trailer above, the shiny sidekick is gagged in his appearance. Worse, the game show was rigged, so Skeets didn't even win a lifetime supply of Rice-A-Roni! Better luck next season, Skeets!

Booster Gold Goes to Sunday School
Sure, Booster Gold makes a punchline foil for youtube animations, but how about Booster Gold as a vehicle for teaching Christianity? That's what author and evangelist Charles B. French does in his recent blog post about "The Greatest Story Never Told":
What Booster doesn't get is that his job is just as important as Superman's. In fact, it's more important, because the reason Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are putting their lives on the line is to protect the innocent. If Booster doesn't make sure that the people escape before the bad guy obliterates the city, then the heroes are fighting in vain. He's got the most important job.
This is how God thinks.
Booster Gold. Is there anything he's not good for?
That's just a small snippet of French's Christian-perpective review of the Justice League Unlimited episode. No matter what your religion, you have to admit, that's a great television episode. The whole review is posted on his website at charlesbfrench.com.
