A single

I've seen it described as adapted from a comic book almost every place the adaptation has been mentioned. Which is proper, as if it's 20-22-ish pages and comes out monthly (as the Walking Dead does), it's a comic book, and If it's 50-ish-or-more pages and is released as a single volume, it's a graphic novel. Also, no…

I quite like the majority of the actors on this crappy show. Those you named have been stand-outs, perhaps, but the others do a fine job as well. I'm a particular fan of Tommy Flanagan. Even Angel LaBrava brings something special to such a one-noted character as Happy. Heck, I even liked Kurt Sutter as Otto. I just…

The Mossad's reputation is way overblown. Did you catch that comedy of errors when they whacked some Hamas guy in 2010 and managed to have their every movement tracked down by the Dubai police within a day or two? Or then the time they whacked some poor innocent Moroccan waiter in Norway because they had mistaken for…

The length would be fine if it weren't so filled with booooooring. I think that's the main complaint. Not the absolute length, but the relative length of loooooong faux-meaningful moments.

I only watched one episode tonight, and it felt like four. And I don't mean that in a good way.

They could have Doctor Who ca. 1967 production values for all I care, if they could just make the writing and the characters in the vaguest bit interesting.

So can we hire Margot Bingham to sing the Sons of Anarchy montages instead of Katy Sagall?

I'm just talking about the stumpification.

I think the answer to your question is:

I'm betting against that happening. I read an interview with Kirkman where he says he regrets doing that.

So, was Tom Baker the Fourth Doctor? Or was the Curator some other, alternative iteration of the Doctor? I'm hoping for the latter because I still remember being 11-years-old and watching Tom Baker regenerate into Peter Davison and he didn't look like an old man when that happened. I'll accept the former, just because…

Well, I was brought out of my suspension of disbelief by the too obvious Blade Runner scenes, and by a couple dumb TV show moments. Like when he tosses the first android partner out of the car. I get that he doesn't like the android, but shouldn't he have been concerned about the effect of tossing a human-shaped form…

There's actually been some complaints among the readers about the slow plot advancement of the last two books. Myself, I thought they were fine, building up for the sure to be sturm und drang of the final two books (Don't die, G.R.R.M.!), but it's not like it's an unheard of complaint.

The biggest thing I took away from this episode is that Laurie, after numerous attempts, still couldn't manage something as simple as fucking pancakes. Laurie Grimes, her stubborn incompetence remains her most memorable feature.

Next week on Sons, Juice just sits in the car as a horde of zombies approach him and then, at the last second, just as we think he's done, realizes he has something to live for and pulls out his hammer and goes to town on them.

Yeah, they actually added two famous comic beats to that scene. Tyreese getting surrounded and getting out with his hammer and the shock of coming across that giant swarm of walkers, which if I remember correctly involved Abraham. Both scenes, in the comics, had far more weight than the mash of the two together had…

Yee Yee, is Chernobylfrog also you?
