He just won't stop with the social commentary.

Well, look, Lovecraft is great. But I'm not sure every monster or alien whatsit being described as indescribable, and unknowable and so on, allows him to be the best writer of all time.  I mean, at some point, it just seems like kind of a cheat.

"There aren't many of us out here.  We're banding together to build a hut in the woods and eat fallen berries."

I also liked Winnick's run, and the Kyle era in general, but there were some bombs. Like any mainstream superhero book, I guess.

Ha ha, yeah, that's exactly what it was.

Did you read that story during the Kyle Rayner era when a psychiatrist was helping him get to the root of a blocked memory or something about him accidentally killing a puppy named Rose when he was a kid? And then it turned out to be his kid sister, and not a puppy?

Yeah, but I don't remember it at all (too many books!) So, if something happened that invalidates my criticism, good. 

Okay, so, not getting the reference, I just checked out this Xtube thing. Well, hello there, Xtube.

Well, the beauty of being a space alien with godlike powers is that courts aren't likely going to be brave enough to rule the confessions you coerce as inadmissible. 

Hal hasn't had the white temples since the evil space bug that lived in his brain left his body. This is not a thing I'm making up.

"Mosaic" was great. It was actually thought-provoking and gave us a John that was consistent with what had come before: sensitive, intellectual and still had a bit of a beef with authority.

Or the Borg might come along and slice out a few decks of the ship, including the one under your feet. No escape pods for them!

Stormtroopers and Jedi. 

I would pay good money to see Latex Bi Alyson top Lesbian Alyson.

Water! Sick man!

I've always insisted the Garfield special is by far the best of such specials, mostly because of its inclusion of actual ghosts (mentioned above) and monsters (during the trick-or-treating scene). "Great Pumpkin" my ass.

You know they shot the actual characters getting gunned down after they went over the top in "Black Adder," but didn't go with it because it was too weird-looking? It was done in slow motion and came out really awkward, so we ended up with the depressing ending we know and love.

Yeah, the "Greatest American Hero" ep where he has to fight a demon that lives in the mystic space between the walls of this old house, or whatever? That was nuts, especially compared to the rest of the show.

We all have relatives exactly like that, whether we admit it or not, and they drink off-brand soda. Ever heard of Elf Pop? I have.

Or Shasta. Let them have Shasta, for Christ's sake.
