Forgot to mention this in the review, but I liked the brief callback as one of the Observers goes to step on Peter's face, right before Olivia shoots the hell out of him.

I liked Bashir from the start, actually; I watched the first few episodes of the show when it originally aired, and managed to catch the occasional episode after that (although never enough to give me a sense of the overall story), and Bashir was always the character I found it easiest to relate to.

Yeah, I think there were some spoilers in there.

The humor is part of why it's so scary; as funny as Ruth Gordon is (and she's very funny), the movie never takes Rosemary's plight as anything but serious, and the way the world keeps narrowing around her is legitimately terrifying. Ira Levin was very good at this sort of thing (The Stepford Wives works just as…

The parts of the book I like, I like in spite of the conceit, not because of it. If it was just a straight up accounting of some weird documentary, I would've thought it was pretty good (although not great)—mainly because it has some striking imagery, and the core concept is terrific.

I don't mind Dermott, I just don't need him to be a central figure. And Sgt. Hatred still exists, so I can't think of him as the weakest.
