What's the actual definition of a goat? Is it enough that they have no chance of winning or must they also "ride coattails"/be actively taken to the end by someone else with the express purpose of being beatable?

Jane would get sexified!

i.e., to Depp it.

Wow.

"Wemon, amirite?"

Wow, yeah. That would be a great director/subject-matter fit. "The Fountain"-style visuals for the video game sequences.

Or "immanently," which… I can never remember what that means. Hegel!

I enjoyed the father's reaction at the son's tantrum in the mine: "That's a little dramatic."

"MAN's-best-friend-EQUIN"

Methinks she was in the thrall of a Sire bond, and also had Turned Her Emotions Off. It happens!

It was interesting to me the way she, post-therapist, played the scene with Jere Burns (in which she kicks him out). She was very obvious about showing us that she did *not* feel in control and that, though frightened, she wanted to get some power back. It wasn't subtle, and it was a little goofy, but it worked for…

Another casualty of "Dexter" (the show)'s success is that the protagonist had to go from asexual (which was interesting) to pretty much normal in that department. It was interesting, at the very beginning, to see emotionally-wounded Rita and probably-asexual Dexter working out how to be a couple without being physical.

We will speculate whether he himself is a child soldier too… That's totally the subtext.

Unfilmable, and also un-franchise-able: the sequels are even less viable as blockbusters!

It's just not the same without the danger of Grandma Saracen walking in on them.

The number before the something has gone up by a few integers :)

I'm sure he's directing three or four episodes down the line; it must be some deal like that.

Crap, I think you're right!

This was a red-letter week for skinned rabbit!

I'm pretty sick of this trope: Woman as reward for Man when he behaves properly. Nora announces she's leaving (leave or stay; please don't announce) and then, because he's a Good Man Deep Down, she stays. Ugh.
