I do enjoy the Popular Culture series of "...and Philosophy"; starting all the way back with the Seinfeld and Philosophy book. I loved the show too (one of my new favorites). For those who haven't watched it - its very entertaining, funny, interesting, and is deeply philosophical, so right up my alley, and I'm sure many others.

This is a good book. Nothing amazing or spectacular, but good / very good. I do think it made an interesting choice though of being written and published as the third season was underway/finishing up, before Season 4, which was the final season of the show. (And it was even stated in this book that it was known at least at time of publishing that Season 4 would also be the final season.) So I thought it was interesting that they knowingly published it at/during/after Season 3 knowing there would be only one more season, that might have given them more material to write about, and provided things in a better context for some of the articles and arguments. Like having 3/4ths of a book to review rather than the full book.

An odd choice. It will be interesting to see if they release a revised edition with stuff about Season 4 - and if so.... I will definitely be avoiding that, as then its apparent the purpose of this book's release.

The articles were good, but with the release of season 4, made some of the comments, arguments, and articles somewhat moot or pointless or defeated. There was also a few typos that were annoying, but nothing egregious.

All in all a fine piece, but nothing wowing or spectacular.… (más)
