I’ve reversed my earlier opinion on the new, enhanced “Special Editions” of original TOS episodes.

Having just added four really long comments to my already-overbearing argument about LOST, I have to finally face the truth about myself: I am Comic Book Guy. It’s not a pleasant realization but then life is filled with moments of searing, unforgiving self-knowledge like this one. I must learn to live with the pain, and all of you must apparently live with my overwhelming need to indulge in endlessly didactic, smug nerd lectures that go on forever. The first step in dealing with any unpleasant truth is to face it; I know that now.
