Marcus Keane Being Blatantly, Specifically Gay:

Script of 1.05 written by David Grimm, Scene 36 annotated by David Grimm.

Including Pazuzu attacking Marcus for specifically not liking women as part of his strategy to get gradually inside both Tomas and Marcus’ heads, dragging him to his lowest point, and why revising the exchange undermines the entire sequence and season.

Book Review: Citizen Canine

Citizen Canine presents a thorough image of the relationship between humankind and our favorite companions the cat and dog both across history and across current perspectives. Grimm weaves biological studies, historical facts, and individual narratives into an engaging tale, guiding you through the tumultuous journey cats and dogs have faced on their road into our homes and hearts. From ancient beginnings of domestication all the way to modern animal rights movements, Grimm uncovers each shift of our pets as we move them up and down our social ladder.

As a cat owner myself I was drawn to the book to learn just how my tabby earned her place on my lap. I was delighted to find the intriguing history in each chapter and even more excited by the attention given to differing perspectives, particularly when it comes to the much debated topic of animal rights. I closed the book satisfied with a better understanding of how pets came to their place at our feet and where I personally stand on animal rights.

Changes in genes supposedly responsible for "cognition and behavior, including fear responses and the ability to learn new behaviors when given food rewards" transformed wildcats into our friendly lap cats.

Fur-kids, cat ladies and dog people

Citizen Canine: Our Evolving Relationship With Dogs and Cats by David Grimm (Public Affairs, $26.99).

Any dog--or cat--lover will attest to our belief that our pets are family. But what sort of status should they have under the law? David Grimm, an editor at Science, looks at the changing status of pets in our culture, including instances of custody battles, court-appointed lawyers, and the question of conferring legal "personhood" on animals (which he ultimately rejects).

Citizen Canine provides an intriguing historical overview of the status of pets in society, as well as the major changes in status in the United States, from early indifference to pets as "useless" animals to their current position as "fur kids" in many families.

In addition to a survey, though, Grimm also looks at the various positions of animal rights activists, animal rescue groups, and they ways in which these positions are playing out in our society.

Whether readers are dog people or cat people--or even, perhaps, rodent or reptile people--this comprehensive look at the position of animals in our lives is a worthwhile read.
