I'm pretty sure spelling the writer's name wrong is the signal of a poorly considered review, is all I'm saying here. Anyway, yeah, his bad stuff is pretty mediocre, but there's nothing hacky about his Hex or Ghost Rider.

I think Walt was clued in by how the one dude dragged his bloody stumps behind him in his eagerness to kill Walt from his deathbed.

He pretty much told us what was up with the story about the box — he makes something beautiful, then sells it out for a quick thrill. There's some serious self-loathing happening, but it's hard to sympathize when it keeps being taken out on others (in this case, people trying to keep clean). I saw the humor in the…

I was wondering —
— when we'd see a callback to Skyler's early-on proclivity for writing fiction (when Marie mentioned that Skyler's book hadn't sold, I originally thought that meant it had been published to poor sales, but at this point I guess it must mean that no publisher ever picked it up). And I don't think it's…

Rita's reaction was a little creepy when you put it in the context of a woman whose ex-husband routinely beat the crap out of her. Put that together with Rita projecting Paul's drug addiction onto Dexter in S2 and you have a very disturbing portrait of what she's looking for in a guy.

I read "A Colder War" a few days ago, after having it hyped to me forever (it's just a googling away), and I have to admit I was a little letdown. I guess if I hear that if some terrifying godform wakes up then everyone in two hundred miles will go totally ravingly insane, I want to SEE that. It seemed like the story…

I really, seriously have no idea where the hate is coming from on this one. I think Todd needs to sit down with a few more episodes of V or Heroes to put things in perspective; the expectation-o-meter is in need of some major recalibration. The Dex vs. Lithgow scene alone rivaled the Doakes headbutt from season 2 for…

I think the biggest problem with reimagining V as an anti-Obama allegory is the uncomfortable-making race element; this isn't the same thing as making the Klingons analogous to the Russians. It's making black people analogous to lizard people who pose as humans. That's kinda…hurm. If there were gonna be a cheesy old…

Oligarhy!
I was totally waiting for Erica to bust out the old Glenn Beck chalkboard. What a piece of shit this episode was. From the lame BSG steals (the psychic link-in via water, the "fourteen hours earlier" flashforward, etc.) to the total fucking gyp of promising us a skinned (i.e., full-on lizardly) V only to…

Honestly, I think it's less awful than it was in season 2 and season 3, but in many respects still pretty weak. This threw me at first, because it was no longer unintentionally hilarious, but also still quite bad. So I stopped watching for a few weeks, and came back in time for Claire to suddenly be a lesbian and Hiro…

Yeah, the little dead girl was like — I was horrorstruck, then I laughed, then I was horrorstruck all over again. That shit was brutal.

Never change, Stacy.

I think the problem is that The Mist shows what happens, like, 10 SECONDS AFTER you give up. The ending's a little over the top, and that's saying a lot for a movie about a supermarket attacked by giant bugs and pterodactyls.

I…I love the pirate guy, I'm sorry. I can't explain it. (…did you see what I did there, because The Who did this song, and…never mind, whatever)

Why are the Vs even speaking English when they're alone? (You guys — I'm just saying)

Sucked Less Than Before
But yeah, it still mostly kinda sucks. Too small-scale, agreed, and just so. fucking. slow. I know I said wouldn't do this, but here's something for free, struggling V screenwriters! If, after her (unseen) meeting with Anna (on a ship!), Faux Cindy Sheehan is now NOT actually a V who has taken…

We know Harry isn't Dexter's biological father. (I bet the writers regret that now.)

Unless they retconned out Claire's magic Jesus blood at some point, the dead Nathan plot makes…well, about as much sense as anything on Heroes, so.

Profoundly apt motto: NICE JOB GETTING YOUR FIANCE KILLED DUMBASS

Get Off My Lawn!
Claire, I mean this in the very nicest way possible, but since you're writing YA books, you should probably at least *watch* Twilight. I'm not saying you should read it, because you seem like a good person who doesn't deserve that.
