I suppose it's just people of a certain age who appreciated the original just fine, until DD came along. It was part of my own college soundtrack, so to speak, the album being one of the best of the 80s albums which spoke to young people & all our angsty self-pity.

In the flashback to when Shaw's father was killed in a car wreck, I believe the EMT guy called her Sameen, or she told him her name. That was some time after Relevance, so mid-season 2 or so.

He only kills people who deserve it, & he expects other criminals to follow this code. When HR & the Russian were about to kill him (before Carter saved him) he said to the Russian "I killed your father, so you're going to kill me. Fair is fair." (Then he turned to the HR guy & called him a worm, among other things.)

Surely The Machine is now regretting that decision. I suppose Finch programmed it to respect human life or some such claptrap.

You should be pleased that TV, especially PoI, still has the ability to surprise you.

While it's not exactly law, Monsanto forces farmers to destroy seed produced by their patented crops/seeds. The idea may have been poorly thought through, but in pointing a finger at the high cost of medical care & how it lets people die if they can't pay, they've hit on an essential truth. And there's no guarantee…

I still think the show captured an essential truth about the clash between the celebration of the wonders of modern medicine & treatments that seem medieval outside of that context. There was a hint of that in Virginia's conversation with Dr. DePaul with the reference to breast cancer. It seems bizarre that in this…

Well done with the Kuhn reference. That's such a good way to think about the show, & M&J's work. And it makes me that much more excited about next season, which should then be all about the associated tremors after the earthquake.

Same here. I was wondering where Manhigh came from. I think I prefer Lester's analogy.

Like most, I thought losing Nathan would be too much for the show to overcome. But Joe Gilgun is as or more amusing as, uh, Irish whathisname guy. The Rudy & Rudy discussion in the john about the wanking probation worker woman back in season 3 (?) is probably the funniest scene I've ever seen on TV.

Hear hear on Greg the Probation Worker. I was hoping for one more Frankie Goes to Hollywood duet with Finn, but tears of a clown will have to suffice.

That exclamation by the kid was the single funniest line in this show so far.

My better half is also convinced that Aiden is not long for this world. I'd rather that not be the case. I suppose we can't have Ems running away happily ever after, but she needs at least a minor victory soon. It's called Revenge, but there's been precious little of that this season.

Nolan was fantastic when he was a snarky genius helping Emily exact revenge. Now he's just some young guy with nothing to do & nothing that distinguishes him from anyone else. Give him a laptop & a purpose already.

Scott Tenorman's probably tasted better.

Agree, or I'm with you, is probably the best way to put it. I loved Utopia. Yes, Wilson Wilson's torture was hideous, but in served a purpose. And he escaped.

Yeah, but playing private detective would sideline Gregson & Bell. If there's a non-murdery way to have an ensemble cast involved I'm all for it, but it doesn't seem possible given who the secondary characters are.

Sorry, didn't watch Cult past the first episode. I'm glad Pierce is getting more work. I loved CJ.

It was hardly clear, but I think they said that the psychics could only track regular humans. There was an exchange between someone & Marcus Crassus/The Founder in which that was the upshot. At least I think it was.
