Sure, and bodily mutilation and torture. It's a rich tapestry.

It's one of the few bits the "uncut" version added back in that really worked, yeah.

Once again, Rich Uncle Skeleton, you see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away…

I'm leery of getting into an argument about this because, well, I'm not sure how soundly I can defend myself. But given what I've read of the comic, and its take on gender roles, and given the show's, um, problematic approach to its female and minority characters, somehow, the heroes being staunchly "pro-life" doesn't…

No, a carpenter!

I don't think you can really call it "fearless" when it's the only tool Kirkman has to get to his readers. "Fearless" would be a happy ending full of puppies and rainbows and dancing walkers.

I think of Serling as someone who deeply loves people, and thus is routinely disappointed and enraged by their behavior.

I got the connection, but I kind of hated Brideshead Revisited, so I decided not to mention it.

I didn't want to get into this too much in the review, but I had a surprisingly hard time watching the episode. My chest even got a bit tight. I mean, I wasn't in physical pain or anything, but it's always surprising when I when I watch something that inspires an actual physical reaction.

Well said.

Dammit, I loved that bit, and completely forgot to mention it.

This is so much better than The Following. If the writers figured out their strengths (the subtly creepy but still fascinating Norma/Norman relationship, for one), and realized that overt sexual violence is never going to work on the show (it's ugly and vile, for one thing, but it also breaks the tension every damn…

It is for me, actually, I like Parks & Rec a lot, but I've found myself getting less and less interested in it, and this piece really nails why.

Chum, I worked as a projectionist for a couple years. I know my shit.

It's one of the few TZ classics I've never seen, so I'm looking forward to it. (Even though I know the twist.) And hey, with climate change and all, it'll be even more terrifyingly relevant!

I do Python on the summer; the way this works out, as ECheung suggests, I'll most likely switch back to Flying Circus after the end of Season Five.

"It wasn't quite that she was shaking him out of his stupor, but she was saying that he can't be so arrogant to believe just because he can't find a cure for them, that means no cure exists. "
You're describing the text, I'm describing the subtext. I think we're both essentially in agreement, though.

It has to be one the bleakest things I've ever seen in a Trek show. It's not just that they're dying in agony—it's that they're dying in agony _because_ of what our heroes have done, regardless of Bashir and Dax's intentions.

People -sometimes- lived long enough to have kids. The way I read it, the species was going to eventually die out, but not after giving everyone in the quadrant a long, painful lesson in the cost of resistance. (Which reminds me of a question I forgot to ask in the review: a Jem'Hadar ship spooks Kira early in the…

I think this was my first favorite show. (Also, the opening credits were weird in later seasons. They re-shot some of the clips from the credits of season one and two—clips which were originally taken from actual episodes, but, in the re-shoots, were apparently just filmed out of context—_and_ they messed up where the…
