Where was Adalind? What's she going to think about Julievette moving out and then Nick spending all day in hospital next to her?

There was one in season 2 or 3 who kept pointing out the impossible things she was finding that I liked. It was after Hank was in on the Wesen world and you could tell she knew they knew more than they were telling her but couldn't work out how to ask.

You did. I was so hoping you were wrong, not to say 'you suck' but just because I really hoped the writers would have sufficient self-respect and ability to continue to write gay characters to avoid this sad old sack of tropes.

I want her dress when she's on the phone to her husband. I rarely have dress envy, but sheesh. I can pull off deep blues like that…

I'd just like to add to the Miller/Holden thing that Miller offered Holden a plausible route to do the right thing that meant his crew wouldn't sacrifice their lives in vain.

They done some of the character work for CW too so the events stuff could probably be fitted in to 8 eps since we already know who Bobbie and Avarasala and her peers are.

I've read both sets of book I should say, but I'll avoid spoilers.

My experience of British Universities (between being a student, a researcher and then working with/at them I have pretty intimate experience of 6) is that they have quite different institutional cultures, and the culture of all them tends to be influenced by, but distinct from, the city that they're in.

I'm a white gay woman who did a PhD at a Russell group university and didn't see the homophobia, didn't see the Islamophobia (although I did it a long time ago and the general levels of Islamophobia were lower so that could well have changed, I'd finished before 9/11 for example) and I don't think I was blind to the…

Yes. They're growing up and leaving the next and experiencing adult emotions. Seems an odd thing to say after Niska worked in the sex trade in s1, but they're doing romantic love and things like that for the first time, rather than living as a family and having brotherly and sisterly love as their sole reference point.

You could be right. My perspective is based on what I've seen and heard from people in the trans community but it is a limited snapshot.

Yes, I was trying to avoid the spoilers too.

Niska always had a plan in s1 and always kept it close to her chest. It seems likely she has a plan now and might not have revealed all of it. It may or may not involve her lady-love. You could argue she's feeling regret, guilt or loss of a romance for the first time, even though she's been self-aware for a long time.…

Could be, yes. I watched it on C4 so I won't be drawn too much because I've seen it all, but the mistreatment of Hester and the Spanish speaking mining synth produced different results so if they are suggesting that, theatre being quite careful.

I think perhaps it depends on which society it means too. Humans is pretty British in setting, writing and so on, and trans rights and the kick back against them that I read about in the US aren't a big issue in the UK. I know a couple of people at different stages in the transition process here in the U.K. and while…

Well if synths become sentient, and what we call mental illness is loosely a function of probability and sentience then some sentient synths are going to be psychopaths and so on. Im not sure we're meant to like Hester, although there's a potentially interesting 'can she be redeemed?' arc there.

When I read 'getting this close to a trans allegory' I wondered what Brandon was smoking. Not everything has to be an allegory on real life, synthies are an obvious extension of the Humans world. We'll find out more about Renie's reasons later on and I hope, but doubt, Brandon has the grace to apologise for his…

I'm still struggling with it, and usually watch it while I'm eating (so less risk of falling asleep) but I'm really disappointed in it. I just wondered what the decision making process was - "Let's put this out as one to watch" and then "Let's not even do one review of the show beyond that" seems kind of crazy.

Adalind has the potential to lose her powers if she drinks Trubel's blood too I think… she's meant to be immune to that from Nick, but we're not sure about Trubel still, so there's angst on that side too.

No, with seven of them, there are 5040 combinations of how you place the glasses (or the diners) or which only a few end up with any diner drinking their own hair. It's really unlikely they all do even if it's all by chance. I'm too tired to do the maths when you throw in Holly's hair and Rosalee not drinking but I…
