What I don’t get is why nothing has changed in the last four months.Yeah, I think that's why I was willing to accept the weight gain and letting himself go. No vipers to fly, no sparring partners (physically or verbally), no hope for further advancement or an opportunity at a real life, why bother? But then we get the picture of a man who when presented with something to fight for has sat back and done *nothing*. As you pointed out, Lee has always ( ... )

Widget Commentary is exactly what Ron Moore needs to read to get his logic cells realigned, especially in regards to Beatup Apollo becoming Fatsuit Apollo.
