BSC Round-up: Oct. 24, 2010

October 24, 2010 · by Elena Nola · in

Whew!  It’s been a long month for me–first a week and half’s vacation and then another week and half of playing catch up.  Now that I’m finally back in control of imperial content, I can get all of you up to speed with BSC’s weekly coverage.  This round-up is actually keeping up with more than just the past week; I’ve included all book, movie, and gaming reviews, interviews, and columns since my last round-up.  With television only it’s just the most current episodes.  So if you’ve been too busy drinking to forget the fact that both your teams are losing, or driving around looking for the fall colors you just know are out there somewhere to check in every day, I’ve got your cheat sheet.  So kick back and keep on, confident that I’ve caught you up on all our awesome.
