It left me really frustrated, myself. It had this amazing world but it felt like Dick just got lost in it and forgot to tell a story until the end.

This has been my self-described 'Year of Dick.' I literally just finished reading A Scanner Darkly and have now started The Simulacra. He's almost literally the only author I've read this year.

UT?

You are my rose you are my rose you are my rose

Don't call it that.

"Set almost fell on ya, that would've sucked."

Examples?

For the ~3 years I've frequented here, I have literally never heard nor heard about Dawes outside of the AV Club. Is this a weirdly specific in-joke about some poor, small, shitty band, or am I just lucky?

That final shot of Peggy, recreating the opening sequence, gave me chills.

It felt to me like an unapologetic lifting of Battlestar Galactica's style.

The parmesan and mustard thing, as rumored by THE INTERNET, is that Martin Mull, who plays Gene Parmesan also played Colonel Mustard in the fantastic Clue movie.

I actually found the action sequences boring. There's only so much concrete and buildings you can destroy before it starts to not matter (shades of Transformers). Pretty soon, I found myself keeping tally of how many people were most likely killed for each building-leveling punch Zod and Supes exchanged.

This fits in well with what I was saying above in response to Louise Belcher. I hadn't picked up on the Matrix cues (Laurence Fishburne, even!), but you're absolutely right.

That's indicative of one of the big problems I had with Snyder— he unapologetically aped so many other people's styles, it's hard to call what he did 'directing'. Those zoom-ins (IN SPAAAAACCEEE) screamed Battlestar Galactica, the World Engine was like a combination of Titan A.E. and War of the Worlds, what seemed to…

Not in Florida, you're not!

Had to be at a 21-up bar, did it? Damn this nubile body of mine.

Lupin, it looks like Ginsberg intercepted that one.

Oh, certainly. But that's easier said than done. The writers' room is so close to the story, it can be difficult to change perspective and look at it from a layman's point of view. What may seem well-enough explained in the writer's room may not make sense outside of it, and there's a myriad number of ways why that…

1. Apt name, it seems.
2. Some people, like yourself seemingly, are good enough to spot what they need to with a one-through, but others may not be. Not everyone consumes media the same way, and it's important to remember what works or doesn't work for you will be different than what will or won't for someone, or…

Well I don't like that title one bit.
