So, why am I such a hardass when it comes to episodic TV? Why won't I give The Dresden Files another chance? Too much disappointment over the years. Like David Bordwell once said, "T.V. always breaks your heart, eventually."
( In which I elaborate. )
Other cranky thoughts of the day:
I heard a news report this morning that said some consumer group is going after the manufacturers of Viagra because they're "marketing it like a recreational drug."
Is it just me, or does this seem somewhat absurd? What else is Viagra for if not recreation? I mean, I hardly think getting an erection is a medical necessity. But it is a hell of a lot of fun, both for those getting to that place and those playing along. Watchdogging is a good thing most times, but this one made me laugh—and wonder if maybe the consumer people needed a year's free supply of Viagra.
