Signing on here to express my great displeasure at the continuous newswire stories. Why would I bother reading The A.V. club's take on the news if I couldn't immediately get a dozen relevant Simpson's references appended?

I do not believe that Naomi would not have recognized him. Their relationship was a pretty central part of his character.

I'm still resolute that there's no fucking way that Diogo is Filip. Also, they mentioned Inaros's faction in the episode today.

Did anyone catch the Chaplain's name?

I'm not sure they would really be taking care of it; they're basically telling Bobbie to be a scapegoat.

There's no way Marcos himself was in that room. They aren't going to cast a character that important for a bit job seasons before he's needed. Also, Naomi was in that room; doesn't make sense.

True, though I'd be very surprised if they didn't introduce him in Season 4 (or whenever they do Cibola Burn), since they'll need some sort of storyline going on for the characters who aren't on the Roci.

Yeah, she seems to have been merged with Drummer.

Marsters was busy when they were recording Ghost Story, so they had someone else narrate it. People were so unhappy that they eventually went back and re-recorded it with him. He does a good job.

Thanks; it's been a little while since I've read Caliban's War.

My first introduction to James Marsters was his performance as Harry Dresden in the Dresden Files audiobooks. He did an outstanding job with the narration.

While I have mixed feelings about "The Girl in Question," I loved the instant cut of Spike going from mourning over the fate of his coat to getting a new one fit.

They mentioned that the cam footage was destroyed, though it's possible that that could have been misleading. I think the drone was supposed to be controlling the protomolecule super-soldier, so I doubt they'd be able to get that footage.

I think Q isn't telling anyone about Alice because he wants to be the one who saves her. If he tells the others and they help, he won't be rescuing the girl like he promised. Now, I'm pretty sure this isn't actually what's going through his head, but under layers of guilt and rationalization that's what's going on.

Anderson Fuckin Dawes, man. The man could charm the scales off a snake.

One of the factions that Fred name-dropped was Inaros. I had a brief "oh fuck" moment at that.

I think it improves awareness and focus, so you can identify microexpressions while interrogating someone or push your way through a scattered memory.

I can't remember exactly what happened in her testimony, but she does tell the one person on Earth who gets shit done.

I haven't watched the episode yet, but I am going to make some speculations for the show going forward:
Clarissa will be played by Florence Faivre, and will be in several of the remaining episodes this season.
Naomi gives Fred the protomolecule late in the season to help him shore up his position as leader of the OPA…
