Que?

1. I was out of town for DEXTER two weeks ago, and missed out on Dexter's magic aging software, as well as an amazing conversation between the voice-over and Ghost Harry.

The last couple of seasons of Futurama have been like watching somebody die of a terminal illness.

Cinnamon Bun said that PB is "bad" in this episode, and it's kind of a trope for a dumb character to figure out something kind of obvious that nobody else knows.

Yeah, that was me!  The next one comes out in 2014.

"Veronica Mars" loved the credit-card trace.  I think the hand-wave was that she knew "somebody at the credit card company" who was happy to provide her with private client data.

I'm less bothered by the contraction of the time required to get the test back than I am with the fact that this random kid is in the DNA database to begin with.  Magic databases are a problem in too many detective shows.

I write crime novels.

It is @danfriedman81:twitter But it's mostly a feed about books and publishing.

FYI: I also tweet.

1. I love the slow-motion pan-in on the Cassie crime-scene, like it's super-emotional, heavy plot-twist stuff happening here. I think the writers expect us to be shocked and upset by Cassie's death, but they haven't given us any reason to care at all about Cassie.

Well, there's no point in commenting on the Breaking Bad review.  The thread is like 15 pages long already. Nobody is going to read all that.

1. This week on COKE-DEB CHRONICLES:

I was re-watching Season 1, and at Eliott and Gretchen's party, everyone was dressed in beige except for Walt and Skyler who were both wearing blue.

I've never seen anyone talk about the color palates on this show.  Every character has a color scheme for their wardrobe, and when that changes, it signifies some internal transition or plot event.  Walter is green, Skyler is blue, Hank is orange, Marie is purple, Jesse is red, Gus is yellow.

I have this problem with "Orange is the New Black."  The show's opening credits sequence shows close-ups of the faces of actual prisoners, many of whom are suffering from the dermatological effects of long-term drug use and periods of very hard living.

I think there's a very strong likelihood that the Brain Surgeon is not dead.  That dude seemed very tied up in his mommy issues and his foot fetish; I doubt he was simultaneously committing a very different and distinct set of other ritual killings.

Time Warner Cable couldn't come to an agreement with CBS, so all networks owned by CBS have been dropped from Time Warner Cable.

1. Let me be the first one to say fuck Time Warner Cable. I am watching Dexter this week late, and on an iPad. Updating this as I go.

I got cussed out when I posted about the Office finale. I figured nobody liked me anymore.
