I probably have an odd work history, I worked in a voluntary organisation (so you couldn't really have those conversations or the volunteers - me and others - would just walk) then I went to back learning, did a PhD and came in as "the expert" rather than the 20-something expected to make foolish mistakes. I'm not…

I think they do make mistakes and get told off occasionally. Kat pushed too hard on the nipples on Instagram last week (Scarlet needs to get a Tumblr account or two) and had to be told to stop it - even though she was pointing out (correctly) that their rules are stupid and weren't being correctly applied.

I'm sort of between you and belle_ - I agree he's not a main cast member, but I feel like I know more about Richard, Pinstripe and, heck even Jacqueline's husband whose name I can't remember than Alex, but Alex has has scenes in every (I think it's every) episode and Jacqueline's husband has barely had a walk-on in…

This episode really shouldn't work quite as well as it does. In most shows we'd see one of them, at least, make a really shitty decision when the others made good ones so there was so more 'classic' drama. But seeing them all do smart things and grow a bit older and wiser, in Kat's case better at her job too, made…

Oliver. I knew Oliver, Sutton's new boss. I knew Pinstripe's nickname too. The rest, meh. But I like Richard's character (Sutton's older man) they just don't use his name very often.

Got to agree. I've been commenting over on Autostraddle but although they left Alex stunningly blank, my read was he was the gay best friend - he was just so supportive all the time.

Jesse seemed to be the only adult that talked nicely to Eugene after he shot himself in S1, at least until Jesse used the voice and sent him to Hell in a fit of anger. Just how important that would make him is hard to judge but pretty important I think even if an old atheist like me does think him being the preacher…

No, I meant it's not shown on a real world map, not precisely defined, not that it wanders around.

Technically it's not a burn, but close enough. It massively chemically changes everything it comes into contact with and one the things it changes is all the chemicals that colour skin and hair, mostly variations of melanin although some other things, making the hair and skin pale/yellow.

The Island's position isn't exactly fixed but is described in S4 when Sarah and Cosima go up there. I think it's not actually meant to be a real world location though, it's not like 'oh, it's in Hudson Bay' or 'it's 300 km North of Vancouver Island' exact.

He was, yes.

Kira might have gone back to stay with Charlotte and Art's daughter, she was there last week during the art show.

Generally Sarah aims for self-preservation, and isn't that self-destructive. Last season was the exception, but she was kind of possessed by Beth at the time. I'm sure she'll go for some elaborate revenge on Ferdinand if she catches him, I'm less sure she'll charge of half-ready to do it.

Ferdinand was supposedly their inside voice in Neolution as well, he had access to different information than Delphine earlier in the season.

Although Helena gets kidnapped (a lot) so far it's never worked out well for the kidnappers. I think evil (but oddly hot, butch) cop, Mark and Coady are all going to get a good dose of justice, Helena style.

The discussion in the voodoo shop suggested voodoo used the power of souls to drive the magic for their cures, curses and so on, and that the Japanese had just industrialised it. Alzheimer's isn't caused by loss of a soul, but taking a pill with the right soul the right way can give you some extra healing power so you…

I don't doubt that. Old rich people (not just men but in this case a man) will often want more of everything, including life. I can't imagine PT caring if a few random kids are hurt by him extending his life, which the report you link goes on to say all the science currently shows it does.

I haven't read the iZombie comics but I read, and enjoyed, Lucifer and was really cautious about the TV show. Despite my doubts I'm enjoying it, because I sort of recognise Lucifer while enjoying the different thing they've done with it. Gaiman wouldn't have written it, but it kind of feels like he could drop in and…

The saint of killers isn't an angel, he's a relatively normal person who was sent to Hell and now acts like a supernatural bounty hunter. Angels remanifesting when their current avatar is destroyed is, as far as we've seen, a uniquely angelic thing and whatever the saint is, he's definitely nor an angel.

Hope you enjoy it.
