Sitting Tennant
Month: July 2012
French TV
Lots of news about Engrenages/Spiral season 4 as well as some teaser trailers
Lots of news on the Engrenages/Spiral front. First up, it’s going to start airing on Canal+ in September – and yay for us – only a few weeks after on BBC4 in the UK.
Secondly, there’s going to be a web spin-off, Inside Engrenages, that will air seven days before the fourth season that will be from the viewpoint of a reporter embedded with the police.
Thirdly, for lovers of French television, there’s the news that Nicolas Briançon from Maison close is going to be in the new series. I have no idea who he is, mind, but here’s a picture of him:
Jérôme Huguet is also in it – he looks like this:
Also confirmed are Judith Chemla, Bruno Debrandt (Commissaire Brémont) and, as Chloe correctly pointed out, (spoiler alert) Samir Boitard aka Samy from season 2 is back.
Lastly, after the jump, you can watch a set of three teaser trailers for the fourth season. They’re in French, obviously. I’m not sure whether they’re supposed to tie into the embedded reporter thing or not, but they all seem to have the regular cast being a bit annoyed that we viewers are watching them.

Review: Wonder Woman #10/Justice League #10/Ame-com #1-3
Justice League slipped a week again, hence the late arrival of the review Wonder Woman review. Sorry – blame DC and Geoff Johns.
Anyway, where last we left Wonder Woman, she was down in the Land of Death, about to be hoist by her own petard – her golden lasso, in fact. What happened next?
Well, I was surprised, that’s what, since rather than what we might all have been expecting based on Brian Azzarello’s writing so far, we instead got an old-school Wonder Woman conclusion to this part of the story. Which is odd.
Meanwhile, back in Justice League #10, we find out that actually, yes, Geoff Johns has been reading Wonder Woman, since we get our first bit of continuity so far. And over in the new, weekly Ame-com – which is a digital-only series based on a series of statues (no, really) – Wonder Woman wears relatively few clothes and swears a bit too much for a title clearly aimed at young girls who like Disney princesses.
Follow me after the jump to find out more.
