idle speculation
I for one hope that they do not do a fast forward. I think Rita's death leaves two wide open choices for Dexter to explore. Either he hides her body/death and plays the missing person card, creating suspicion especially from Quinn wondering what happened to Rita (and we know that blood it really hard…

I don't think Klingons were soviet. They were like viking samurai. They were soviet only in the sense that a cold war existed between their empire and the federation, but society was more warlord based than any central government/collective work group-think.

I too would like a reboot of Conan. As long as they keep it R like the original was. It's a hell of a lot more appropriate than the planned reboot of Predator, which still holds up.

well fuck me two ways to sunday for not hitting refresh or newest first before adding my own unoriginal snark. damn.

hurray for subtitles
Will Gibson be filming this in old norse then, for authenticity, like his last two projects?

while it true that there is no connection that the police know about between the boy and the trinity cycle, it's highly likely that a sketch will be floating around quite a bit throughout the police stations as they try and find the kidnapper.

police procedural and other issues
seems to me that any warrant for Christine's apt. would include expanding it to her cell/home phone and they'd end up with Trinity's number sooner or later, and phones are easier and faster to trace than dna any day of the week. On the same note, when they start tracing Trinity's…

To me, Christine's expression at hearing that name the police had was a final nail in the coffin of betrayal she felt from her father. She believed that they had a name and that her father had been giving her a fake name her whole life, so she was done.

I like most things Leinenkugel, except the original and some of their berry seaonal stuff. Leinie's Honeyweiss is a staple, but I enjoy the summer shandy, sunset wheat, the bock and creamy dark as well.

watchmen montage
Say what you will about the movie as a whole, but I thought the opening montage that detailed the alternate history up to the point of the story was quite compelling, and just about the best part of the movie, aside from Rorsharch, or however the hell you spell the name.

I don't know why anyone would want off a show like Sons. It's practically a working actor's dream. It's a shortened season so there's lots of time to do other work. Half Sack wasn't a main character but stole scenes he was in, so it's decent money with time to do other stuff and build his resume and credits. Unless…

yes, which is why Better Plans is laying out how he/she/it would have preferred to see it play out.

stray observations of my own
Opening scene has rats gnawing on a crow's corpse on the road. A blatant foreshadow or symbolism I suppose, but I liked it.

no, that was pretty much a whimper. a valiant one, but a whimper none the less.

but the identity twist then undoes all that and makes it one of the worst

nice tension that doesn't quite add up to me
Like some others have said, I think while Thanksgiving with the Mitchells made for good tv drama, especially at the meltdown, I had trouble with the concept of Mitchell being so blantantly abusive to them all and generating such fear like that. You give up some good to get…

who says the reporter is the spawn of Mitchell and his current wife? He might have multiple families or past wives. It was a stupid twist, but since some folks speculated wildly that the son might have killed Lundy and shot Deb, it's almost appropriate that the most likely suspect is the daughter we knew nothing…

was that a crack pipe in the car? from when he asked for her to get him coccaine for the club, I took it to mean they were vials with plain old coke in it, not the harder stuff. Not that either is all that great to be doing while driving about with a kid on board, but still. I hope they address it at some point,…

Ya know, I usually catch the Heroes repeat on Tuesday on G4 right before doing Sons, and it never ceases to amaze me how Heroes gets its serialized drama so wrong and so glacierly slow vs. Sons and its tight plots and moves forward with nearly every week. Heroes seems so much a couple of 12 year olds in a battle of…

I just want to say that Rutger Hauer is fucking awesome and it's a goddamned shame that he didn't skyrocket after BladeRunner.
