NO INCEST.

Objection the first: that "equally crazy" there is begging the question in the original, logical-fallacy sense of the term.

That "yet" makes no sense.  If you have problems with objectivism, you're automatically required to have equal problems with Marxism, or else…? 

That's incredibly unfair to Haeckel, who drew awesome pictures of nudibranches. 

>>Radicals of any stripe are annoying when you have to listen to them.

Oh man, so much pressure…the new book under discussion would probably be enough to tell you whether or not this stuff works for you, but if I were trying to introduce someone to the material via specific, I might recommend thusly:

Let's keep in mind that the Disney that makes movies that the Disney that brings us lame pop idols has virtually nothing to do with Disney comics.  The latter are created by individual publishers around the world, with only minimal oversight by the parent corporation.

Well, in theory, I label each post with the name of the creator(s), but there's no denying that I usually forget about that.

Ghost Dad: The door's locked, Dex.  How are you going to get through?
Dexter: There seems to be some sort of armor crest on the keyhole.
Voiceover: Looks like I need to find the armor key to proceed.

You're right that maintaining any sense of tension at this point strains credibility, but that tension was a huge part of what made the first few seasons GOOD.  If that's no longer possible, then the show should end (well, obviously, it should have ended long ago for any number of reasons, but you know…).

Well, thank you.

I can see someone not liking season two.  But declaring four and five BETTER?  Now THAT reveals such a fundamental lack of taste that…well, that the person who thinks as much is exactly the kind of individual that the current writers (now with X-TRA stupidity!) are hoping to attract.  So cheers to that, I guess.

But if you recall, Dexter DID use the Magic Search Engine to find senile priest guy who for unknown reasons was unfindable with google.  That's how it was introduced in the first place.  So for this to be all a set-up would have required a heroic level of manipulation on Louis' part.

You know, before it was mentioned here, I had totally forgotten that Dexter might have personal reasons to object to a game where you play as Trinity.  But that's all right, because I'm quite sure that the writers forgot too.

Whenever the subject of Disney's duck comics comes up here, I always feel the need to pimp my blog:

Phil's in his early forties, as you would know if you were a regular reader of his blog, The Phil Nugent Experience, which you should be.

"Dexter's worst episodes are still at a higher level than an average episode of almost anything else on television."

Lithgow's acting was fine.  It's just too bad his character was *written* For Shit.

But if we stop watching it, how can we bitch on the internet about the latest inane non-plot non-twists?  Doesn't bear thinking about.

You really, really shouldn't be.
