I'm not sure I agree, because it was just mentioned by Ann in passing. It's not like they had a scene of Ann looking at the numbers and not believing it was possible, it was just her being mildly surprised and still finding a flaw (potassium).

All of 45 seconds !

Very interesting. Does that mean that "Hobbes" is an allusion to Thomas Hobbes, the 17th century philosopher known for his popularizing of the "homo homini lupus" phrase (and for his groundbreaking theory of State and social contract, but you know, it's always the catchphrases). ? I mean, I guess Hobbes is a name that…

Kingsguards certainly don't rape. Well, maybe some of them have done it, but it would be very much frowned upon (whereas a knight who rapes a random peasant girl is pretty much ok).

As a modern Who fan, I did find them, or rather it (since there was only one) rather terrifying in their first appearence (in the aptly named fifth episode, "Dalek"). After that, not so much.

Actually, nothing that aired on TV did so during the historical "modern" era, since that cover basically from the Renaissance to the 19th Century (definitions do differ, but you get the point).

You know, cancer ain't so bad, you're only saying that cause you've never had malaria !

Same here, when I saw Skins mentioned, I tried to figure out if the finale was a musical episode, since that song is maybe the show's biggest moment.

Huh ? My grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's ten years ago, and he's very much alive. Where did you get that from ?

Fringe's Brown Betty. One of my favorite episodes of the show, one that came completely out of left-field (at least to me), and serves as a great meta-commentary on what Fringe was before "Jacksonville" and "Peter". It's also really sweet and really funny. What's not to like ?

About the accents: I don't want to sound mean but it always baffles me when TV critics (or movie critics, or Internet commenters or whatever) comment on people's accents.

The boyfriend doesn't remark on her accents because he's blindsided by the other things that are "wrong", like her clothing, and probably her general attitude I think.

Same here, except I hated Zoe from the get go. But Claire is pretty much my favorite character at this point, and her scene at Claire's appartment was Emmy-worthy.

To be faire, I initially thought it was going to be a suicide attempt as well, but Stamper's reaction makes it pretty clear that Russo has just vanished.

It's pretty good. Not amazing, and the fact that they all feel the need to speak with vaguely nordic accents still annoys me a little, but it's a fun show, and reasonnably accurate (to the extent that a TV show about vikings can be).

Here we, are TV people ?

This was great. Also, unbearable to watch.

I really enjoy your reviews, and I'm actually following your rythm at this point. I had originally watched the first two episodes, then let it lie for about a month because life got in the way, and when I came back to it, you were on episode 6 or so. So I decided to follow that rythm.

Not a spoiler. That's speculation at best.

Well-deserved, really ?
