I'm pretty sure he was talking about Lester Freamon, unless there's someone behind him that we don't know about yet.

Addendum: Decima Technologies = Decimate + chnologies. Shit's about to get real.

Just to let you know: kernal-mode rootkits are a real thing. It's a virus that operates at the highest level of the operating system, kinda like Neo at the end of The Matrix.

"Take me baby, or leave me…"

If a li-ion battery starts to get out of pocket (the technical term is thermal runaway, in the news very recently due to the 787) there's really no point in removing the battery, because said battery will still blow-up (or catch fire) in your hand. At that point it's not the power but a chemical reaction that causes…

If he said Root kidnapped him (see, Shaw already figured that Control and Harold were players in the larger conspiracy, because she's not dumb… also why she doesn't fully trust Harold and Reese) he would have to explain why, or lose even more face. But, considering the considerable resources, spycraft (Reese is every…

Bobby's definitely coming back, even if it's just a bow at the very end. But after watching this ep. I really want Drew Thompson to come back next season too.

1. Crowley could strike Sam and Dean down at any time, I think he's just afraid they would just come back (like they always do) more powerful than he could imagine.

Early in the episode Felicity sent Ollie map coordinates to a drug deal smack in the middle of Seattle.

It's like they glued ping pong balls to a real dog's face.

So if "The Americans" manage to derail SDI, which might have brought about another Cuban Missile situation, and in this timeline put Lech Welsea in line for the Nobel prize in a couple years (other crazy coincidences to follow I'm sure): "The Americans" will unwittingly, double-handedly, win the Cold War for the USA.

This first season is wildly uneven (if I, E.T. is the episode I'm thinking of we will get an object lesson next week) but it is SO VERY WORTH IT. By the end of this season (and the non-spoilery revelation that there will be a cliffhanger into season 2) anyone who touts BSG or Firefly or DS9 as a top ten show will have…

I woke up and walked into a semiotics class. You are absolutely right, and if you got some sign that the Academy writers (and Brian the Dog) really do hate women I'm not gonna argue.

1. It stinks.

Holocaust = United States slavery (after 1776) times 5. At least. Slavery is the new Shoah. Except… well. We're not going to get into measuring atrocities between the African Americans and the European Jews.

No, if you're being ironic (or more precisely, sarcastic) you don't really mean it. You are very pointedly making fun of the people who do mean what you exactly don't mean. That is how sarcasm works.

As a student of history (and fan of bleak endings in historical fiction) Spartacus needs to die.

If anyone else is curious: it's Finch's voice, from his cover as Harold Wren at Universal Heritage Insurance. His mailbox is full.

If The Machine considered Finch and Reese a threat they would already be dead.

I wish I could say I was surprised (and I wish I could sound a little more humble) but I knew this would be a top-10 tv show exactly at the end of the first Elias episode. They are building a naturalistic comic book universe. Judging by the ratings, that great mass of Nielsen families I've grown to hate over the last…
