I panicked, thinking this was season 2 and it only got a B. It's by far my favorite TV show despite it not being finished and I worry about it declining. Luckily, the review is for the American version and the brief shots from the promos for season 2 look amazing.

Two of the songs are up on Youtube. Stay with Me in particular is quite good (and much better than the original, though I'm not a huge Sinatra fan).

One of my favorite reminders of things like this is the tumblr People of Color in European Art History.

Amelia is the black woman who was Sarah's (and Helena's) birth mother. And it is Project Leda, as in Leda and the swan.

Just a quick thanks for pushing back on vegans, as opposed to omnivores, never shutting up. Especially because omnivores tend to have the same rather smug and lame jokes (PETA=People Eating Tasty Animals). It's pretty annoying. I'm sure there are evangelizing vegans (though I've met, at most, one), but not nearly as…

To me she is like Scarlett Johansson: she may not be a great actress but she picks great projects. Glau has been good on Firefly, Dollhouse, Alphas, and now this so if she's in something, I'm generally excited about it. Not so much to see her (though I like her a lot) but because I trust her choices.
