Zombie tits are gross, and I would not pardon them.

Next Season on Dexter:

@avclub-53e4db6f596904f154b5efa09193e3ab:disqus , I'm suggesting that this future wouldn't necessarily be producing Kirks within the core worlds of the Federation. Riker's all the fun without any of the pathos that drove Kirk to excellence. Consider Kirk's critique of the Nexus from Generations. Now imagine Riker was…

I was suspicious of her for the entire episode. She seemed just a little too excited about the prospect of the cop finding her daughter's body, and a little too upset at the idea that there might be more to the story. I understand the idea of a person simply wanting some closure, but I felt like the actor/director…

Alphas seems to want all of its superpowers to have "scientific" explanations, even though it's been lazy about it. But really, the "science" not matching up with actual science isn't a sticking point. Within the fictional world of Alphas, there are humans with extraordinary abilities. These abilities, no matter how…

If Nick ends up siding with the creatures against the other Grimms, it will ostensibly be because the rest of them are considerably more hardcore than his aunt was. In essence, the "kill'em all" dynamic will be what Nick reacts against.

I thought it was pretty clear that the mom put him up to the "kidnapping" to get rid of her, but maybe I missed something near the end of the episode that weighs against that theory.

Procedurals attract viewers. I'm not sure a procedural with a secret would do so terribly that they couldn't give it half a season to drop a hammer on its audience and see how it reacted. And while they were building up the main story, they would've had time to let the characters breathe a little bit more. The…

Setting aside the deeper deficiencies of the episode, there was, again, some seriously craptacular editing tonight. Cutaways to Holly during the treehouse/blind scenes (the initial wave, when Nick and Monroe were both there) were extremely choppy, due to a combination of the lighting, the position of the camera, and…

Hopefully we've begun raising generations of sim fans who understand that destroying the environment is like replacing all of your research labs with factories when you've only climbed half the tech tree.

Your sense of the past seasons rearing their heads is tragically accurate. Yes, it's happening, and yes, they're not doing it very well, and yes, the chief problem is that the show won't set any real stakes.

It's a good thing they veered away from an episode where Juliet had to do something else besides be a cop, otherwise the screen just would have gone blank. And it's a good thing she's such a poorly fleshed out character, otherwise her attestations that things in this relationship are more than meeting her expectations…

They tried to do something like that with Star Trek: Generations (Picard loses a nephew, thinks about never having children, etc.) but it didn't work. It'd be worth discussing why it didn't work; interestingly enough, I thought that Kirk's own bitch with the Nexus was an interesting critique on how poorly he would…

See also, nudity clauses.

Data is absolutely the perfect boy to get excited about, right up until the moment your vagina tells you to let an asshole put his penis inside of you.

I'm not sure the show could have emphasized the "Data = Spock" thing any more forcefully than having DeForrest Kelley make a cameo to specifically highlight the similarity for anybody who didn't figure it out on their own.

Burton had a few standout episodes. For all the flack that his character gets for chilling in the holodeck with his holo-girlfriend, the first episode where they played that card was quite the showcase for him. As an earlier poster mentioned, it emphasized the fact that Geordi wasn't awesome with people, and was a bit…

Riker is interesting as a reevaluation of where a more well-adjusted "Kirk" type character would actually, plausibly fit into the future for humanity that TNG outlines.

History is not only written by the victors, but also rewritten by the victors. Except it was already written that way all along, but then again *guitar solo.*

Cut this right the fuck out or so help me god I will bludgeon you to death right the fuck now.
