I put NBC (one of the "Big Three" broadcast networks) and USA (where "Characters [are] Welcome") among the poll options because they share the same parent company as SyFy: NBCUniversal. They certainly didn't fare well in the poll. Don't make them mad, people. They're still the company in charge of Booster Gold's immediate television future!

Last week's poll question: What television network would you most like to see air a Booster Gold television series? (56 votes)

Earlier this week, Booster booster Chris Aguinaldo pointed my attention to Newsarama's list of "The 10 Best TIME-TRAVELING Heroes of All Time!" I must say that I do agree with their number 1 choice. However, with so many comic heroes having time traveled at some point in their adventures, their inclusion criteria seemed a little haphazard. (If an unwilling Silver Age Green Lantern can make the list, why not a willing Silver Age Batman or Superman?)

Therefore, I made my own list of time-displaced heroes, specifically heroes who have found themselves doing a majority of their adventuring in a time other than their native era, and I thought I'd turn it over to Booster Gold fans for a vote. What do you have to say? (And before you ask, Booster and Rip Hunter aren't on the list because they're the obvious #1 and #2 choices around here. Really, we're polling for 3rd place!)

Whoops! I've been sick this week, and completely forgot yesterday's poll post here in the blog. I'll fix that now.

It would figure that the Boosterrific fans would prefer continuity. Without continuity, there would be no Blue and Gold, no Booster Gold Volume 2, and no Extreme Jsutice. (You have to take the good with the bad.)

Last week's poll question: ( votes)

So the Booster Gold television project might not be dead, but it also doesn't seem to be on SyFy's radar, either. That might not be such a bad thing. Different networks have different business strategies, target audiences, and aesthetics. Is Booster Gold a better fit somewhere other than SyFy?

For the occasion of tonight's Arrow season finale, Executive Producer of Arrow Andrew Kreisberg, who also happens to be the man behind the attempt to turn Booster Gold into a television show on the SyFy network, was interviewed by Craig Byrne of GreenArrowTv.com. There's a bit of that interview very important to Booster Gold fans:

GreenArrowTv.com: So there's no chance the two shows [Arrow, Booster Gold] could exist in the same universe?

Kreisberg: There's always a possibility. There's a line in the Booster Gold pilot [script] where somebody says "we finally have our own hero. Not like that nut in Starling City with the hood." I don't know if they're going to let me keep that line over there, if they [Syfy] actually make the pilot, but it sort of makes me smile to think that it's the same universe.

Did you catch it? Here, let me emphasize the important part.

"...if they [SyFy] actually make the pilot...."

That's the man making the show admitting that he has no idea whether SyFy is still working on his show over a year after SyFy announced it. Draw your own conclusions about that.

If you haven't heard the news yet, Scott Johnson over at ComicBook.com has found an Easter Egg in the latest Man of Steel trailer. As you might have guessed from seeing it referenced here, it's Booster Gold related.

At the two minute and twenty-seven second mark in the third Man Of Steel trailer, Superman and General Zod are shown flying directly at each other with the Metropolis skyline in the background.

In the Metropolis skyline, there is a building with a blurry yellow and white neon sign. Comicbook.com blew up a hi-res version of the image, and the blurry yellow and white sign is actually for "Blaze Comics." In DC Comics, Blaze Comics is the comic book publisher that publishes the Booster Gold comic book series.

Johnson goes on to speculate about what this news might mean and why Blaze Comics was chosen for inclusion. I'm just happy that Booster has found a way to crash Superman's movie.

Elsewhere on the Internet, Geoff Johns told Steve "Frosty" Weintraub at Collider.com that the Booster Gold television project isn't officially dead yet.

Booster Gold TV series: still in development, Andrew Kreisberg is working on it right now.

"Still in development" isn't really revealing very much, but at least it's better than "not still in development!" Is the show headed somewhere other than SyFy, which didn't even mention it in their 2014 upfronts last month? Skeets' fins are crossed that the show comes to TV sooner rather than later!

I haven't been watching SyFy since they cancelled Eureka. No Booster Gold isn't giving me much reason to change that pattern of behavior.

Last week's poll question: How do you respond to the lack of Booster Gold television news from SyFy this week? (52 votes)

Booster will be appearing in two different 3-part stories in the next 3 months, one within continuity and one without. We know that Skeets is in the non-continuity Smallville Season 11 issues, but there's no word yet on whether Skeets will be in the DCnU-continuity All-Star Western. If he does show up, will he be a behind-the-scenes assistant, or an active sidekick? If you had a say, what kind of Skeets would you hope to see in the DCnU?
