Apparently I'm one of however many millions have enjoyed his shows, but if you meant the only one who took the time to post about that love on an internet message board, perhaps you are correct!

Love DEK, never found him tiring.

Yeah. I like where it's going so far.

Didn't Saul do that in the first two episodes?

Yeah, I had no problem with it in terms of plausibility.  He refused the heroin earlier, but he's been essentially beaten down and placed into isolation, with absolutely nothing in the cell except a needle at the ready.  Can't blame him for the choice.

Really liked this episode.  This season has definitely been about showing the realistic fallout from last season, and the characters are really hitting the bottom of the barrel.  It will be interesting to see how they get themselves out of these messes.

Why was the dialogue "terrible?"  Beyond the exposition of course, which was a bit awkward.  Exposition usually is unless it's in the hands of VERY skilled writers.

Why do you think it is mediocre and worse than the second half of last season?

Not sure I get the creators on the cover thing.  I just paged through each book and read who created it.  Takes 5 seconds or so.  I don't think it shows disdain for the people doing the work because I read the reason why it happened was because the 3D covers had to be farmed out and finished in China or something long…

Good episode, nice to see some AV Club coverage here. :)

The former.

You brought it up first, snif snif

McPickleshitter verbalized exactly why I felt he took Holly.  It was a last-ditch attempt at holding onto his family, the one family member who hadn't turned against him.

I agree he didn't have to dig too deep to find the words, and he drew from his own feelings.  But your criticism was that he turns into a meta Lifetime movie villain, which I think is belied by what he was really trying to do.  The scene was meant to be over the top villain speech ("TOE THE LINE! etc.)

Psst…I thought they were funny.  The post you were responding to didn't say "ballbustingly." You did.  "Fucking" is a conversational qualifier.

Few months ago = years in your book?  Hooray for hyperbole.

Sigh, I've been waiting to watch Game of Thrones season 3.  Did you really need to reference what appears to be a pretty blatant spoiler in a Dexter review?  It's not even like the show is years old; we're talking about a spoiler from the beginning of summer.

I thought the show explored Dantana's motivations pretty well in the conference room scenes and in the final elevator scene.  I mean, at that point, what more did you want….him twirling his mustache and explaining the villain's plot in a hokey 2 minute monologue?  Sorkin gave plenty of "insight into his thought…

She was drunk or stoned.

He said why he cooked the story in the final elevator scene.
