It stems from how he writes: he comes up with a sizzling idea of a problem or character with no clue of the why behind it, and then he lets the characters carry the ball.<br /><br />THE GOOD GUY, FEAR NOTHING, and ODD THOMAS are books I really enjoy despite his lack of a destination when he starts. Dean is driving me crazy: he wrote two thirds of the Christopher Snow trilogy (FEAR NOTHING and SEIZE THE NIGHT) and has left his fans waiting nearly 20 years for the 3rd RIDE THE STORM. Luckily, I only discovered the Christopher Snow books a few years ago.<br /><br />Episodic television is a victim of its nature: only BABYLON 5 had a clear start, middle, and end as befits a grand story.<br /><br />Interesting post as always.

An...Poor Smoke Monster. All he wanted was company.<br /><br />And to kill Jacob.<br /><br /><br />@Andrew: the Jeph Loeb debacle you refer to made a dumb character even more convoluted. They ultimately ended up creating an arch villain named Romulus who stumbled out of the gate when he finally showed up. Hasn't been seen since.<br /><br />William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-7437877272709754802013-08-13T18:54:01.934-04:002013-08-13T18:54:01.934-04:00I'd like the last hour of my life back.
I jus...I'd like the last hour of my life back.<br /><br />I just clicked on your links, and that led to another click and another... Wow.

Back in the way back...I never watched Lost, but...<br /><br />Back in the way back of comic books (the 80s), everyone wanted to know about Wolverine's origins, which were unknown even to him. It was good that way. Since Marvel broke down during the 90s and started the rock slide of Wolverine's origin, it has only become an avalanche of nonsense from what I can tell. I mean, he's not even a human anymore but a mutant from a race of artificially evolved wolverines (or something like that). It was better when we didn't know.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.com
