		<description><![CDATA[Up front: I liked it.
Sunday&#8217;s final episode of Lost, that is&#8230; a show I&#8217;ve been watching with fascination for five years now. (No, not six&#8230; I missed S1 when it aired, but got hooked by the DVDs.)
That&#8217;s not to say that I found it completely satisfying, especially on an intellectual level. But clearly the show [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Open sewers run through the streets. Disease is rampant, up to and including recurring outbreaks of the plague. Criminals are routinely castrated, disemboweled, and hacked to pieces in public executions. The rotting heads of political enemies are mounted on public gates. The bloody torture of animals is a popular form of entertainment. Wretched poverty is commonplace. Literacy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Grayson, that is. (What, you thought something else&#8230;? Dirty mind. Shame on you.)
Dick Grayson, formerly Nightwing, formerly Robin, has had a strong fan following for years, especially since he grew up and stepped out of the red-and-green costume (and his mentor&#8217;s shadow) a quarter-century ago. Now the character has done what in one sense always [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My reaction to the new Star Trek movie led me to ask myself this unavoidable question. Yes, it&#8217;s certainly received a warm response—96% on the Tomatometer (which is phenomenal, even allowing that they inevitably mis-count some reviews like, e.g., the negative J.R. Jones piece I linked the other day) and a $76 million weekend box office—but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am, not to mince words, a voracious reader. (I&#8217;m not as fast a reader as I&#8217;d like, so voraciousness only gets me so far, but that&#8217;s another discussion.)
