Wow you have been to (and it seems like lived in) more places in India than I have. And we moved around a lot when I was a kid. My favourite was Dehradun. Have you visited the Himalayan region at all? I'm planning a Himalayan trek and debating tour companies vs just doing it myself (which is more work but…

I've heard of that! Its the one where dead people are coming back to life right? Are there good female characters? That has become sort of my yardstick for Fantasy and Sci Fi because a lot of the older stuff (and a fair amount of the new stuff) just doesn't do women that well. Bujold is a great contrast.

I love Petra too but I think when she was talking about the child and it felt true it was because Grobglas (as Petra) is a phenomenal actress and was projecting vulnerability. While Ivan was trying to watch Santos she was talking about how the baby battle was going to be the only way to get Rafael to give up anything…

Someone else is definitely going to have access. Rafael's father is a likely candidate. Others are Petra and doucheface mcnewboss/hook up buddy/I don't remember his name.

No, Jane's Abuela!!!!! She wasn't in the next episode previews. She's still going to be back right?! Nooooo

So I'm more of a fantasy reader but have been getting into more sci fi lately. I loved Bujolds Vorkosigan saga. Is there other sci fi/space opera type with good characters that people would recommend. I've read the liaden series by Lee and Miller already and its interesting but not great as far as I am concerned.

Chalion is incredible.

MILD SPOILER ALERT PEOPLE

Mysore! That's awesome. Have you seen the palaces? Does work move you around a lot?

Winston has a lot to do and both Winston and Coach have a bunch of really great scenes together too without any of the others around which is fun. New Girl has been awesome this season. Super funny.

I want to upvote you for your point about BSG but don't agree with you about OUaT. Its an okay looking show but has some of the worst CGI I've ever seen. Also its design aesthetic is very rustic, faux medieval and not a good comparison to what Shield should be.

Hmm, yeah your comment puzzled me because generally us Indians are extremely paranoid about Pakistani nuclear missiles but not really that concerned about North Korea being in the mix. China, yes. Interesting.

They do see the split as illegitimate but still don't want reunification because of the costs as Muwar stated.

I'm fairly certain that Pakistan had nuclear weapons soon after India (definitely from China) and that North Korea didn't have nuclear weapons of its own till the 90's. I know you said its an example but I'm also fairly certain that the transmission of nuclear technology went the other way—Pakistan funneled it to…

Did he even save the world or was it just futile?

I totally agree. The point becomes, the first established member of *the team* to die is a black guy.

No love for the Legend of Korra? Especially after the incredible season 3 and the introspectively beautiful season 4? Its a shame because the show is ending soon. :(

It's not on any longer but Maggie Q headlined Nikita, the CWs remake of LA Femme Nikita. While it was on I don't think there was any other show with an Asian American lead.

As far as the committing to an asylum goes: that was straight out of a telenovela crazyawesome! I can't wait to see what happens next. Also, I'm worried for Luisa.

Which is why I said it only annoyed me *a little*. I am capable of rationality in these matters.
