They just wanted to make sure everyone forgot about Veritas first.

It's worth noting that while Literary Criticism can be utterly ridiculous (part of why I love it so much, actually), the reason for the Death of the Author isn't because the author is completely without worth, but (at least somewhat, because I don't remember much about the original essay) because the potential…

Literary criticism has long stopped caring about the actual intentions of authors. There's even a snazzy term for it: The Death of the Author.

Statements in which one condemns a thing as wrong, I believe.

Can't we, @avclub-61938d93498e7f0ed5e6527b1cee656a:disqus ? It seems fairly easy to do, given how we know Shakespeare's words. I know my books are a little old, but they spend quite a bit of time establishing which sources they are using and why, as well as explaining why they have to in the first place.

@avclub-61938d93498e7f0ed5e6527b1cee656a:disqus , so if I took the story of Macbeth, set it in the same era as the play, used an unedited sequence of events, but used modern language, I wouldn't be making a Shakespeare adaptation, but if I set it in a Victorian brothel, juggled the chronology of events, and even…

Mind if I ask why not? Not as a confrontational gesture, I'm genuinely curious about this. It can't be the setting shifting, right?

Wait, I though Robotech was an American series made using Japanese shows?

It certainly was interesting, though I can't say I really liked any of the designs as superheroes.

The real question is if this is a worse use of air time than that Time Machine Chef show.

Man, and Indigo Prophecy's "anything" wasn't even that much.

It's a shame this depiction of Frankenstein has almost nothing to do with the character in the book, because that would make complete sense in Shelley's novel.

I wonder if this thinking about The Walking Dead and violence is like what happened to comic book companies in the 80s after Watchmen and The Dark Knight.

HGTV and ABC were worse, from the sounds of it. For some reason, HGTV put on two guys who didn't know anything about half the content of the show, and so proceeded to fill space with terrible, terrible jokes. ABC once again ignored the equestrian groups, and its hosts didn't really seem that engaged in the parade…

I wouldn't really go into a book written by a Christian theologian about an arrogant demon scolding his nephew for incompetence expecting a humble and subtle exploration of sin. Heck, even if it wasn't written by a Christian theologian, I wouldn't expect those things.

I don't think it has been said in those particular words, no.

Sort of, actually. It's less as an actual criticism and more an increasingly stale joke, granted, but it usually comes up in a discussion of modern TLC.

I now realize that I misread your post, but a fake interview show based on Biblical characters showing up and just hanging out could be kind of fun. Or terrible. Depends on if you get David and Saul together before or after the latter is "possessed by demons".
