I can understand where you're coming from. I felt they were writing him as being depressed (rather than bummed out) and not concerned about someone he hasn't met.

Well I said after last week I was prepared to give the writers a chance with Ravi. Now they're starting to push my patience. Mopey, hungover Ravi may not be the best, but it was a very British way to be remorseful for the ballsup he'd made of his reaction to Peyton's choices, even as we're saying we disagree with them…

I think it depends on how you measure charisma too. New Blaine the man who literally saved her life, he's attentive and has a sense of humour while avoiding the blatant and pushy. He's still smart and he's somewhat innocent in the naive sense simply because he doesn't have ant memories of what he did.

If he was anything like a professional caregiver I'd completely agree. If it's a partner taking care of a loved one with early stages of dementia, who has a good day and initiates sex, is that inappropriate? It's not exactly the situation between Quentin and Alice of course and while there or may not be longer term…

"Hello I love you," and that night he goes and shags someone else, before she has a chance to talk to him. You really wouldn't be upset and angry if someone did that to you?

I hope you're right, and the writers generally do a good job so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

No. She always plays herself as a con artist, rather than dozens of clones. There's an underlying "Maddy" with a layer of the role she's playing for the con. She can remember the roles and adopt them when needed but we're never in doubt that's what she's doing. Her marks are sucked in because there's enough of her to…

I'm not. I used to share a house with one in my student days and some of them are also good at communicating with the public… glad to see you're one of the latter!

Just saying Umber and Ember and TWO god-killing devices…

There is an explanation in the books, but honestly the TV series is so divergent from the book plot that who knows what they'll do.

He can't, they're of equal rank, in different branches of the bureaucracy. They're both undersecretaries, but she has seniority.

You're talking like a physicist and a serious nerd, not like a member of the public, even if that person is a Belter and a pilot.

Cool? Putting poison in 107 year old Scotch is not cool dammit.

I think his grief if more clear and sharp-edged here, he's more clearly a man desperate to save his daughter. I agree with the first half of your analysis, but I don't think he's an asshole so much as in extremis. He has moments, like realising about the death of Ganymede, where you see him out of that "OMG must save…

I'm watching with interest. Retrograde amnesia, which is what Blaine had, often shows partial or complete recovery over time, which Ravi and Liv should know, and Blaine may be showing, appeared to be showing last week. On the other hand, Blaine has always been shown as smart and DonE anything but - I'm sure Blaine…

Not really, there's a very long answer (I did a 5,000 word essay on it as an undergraduate) but the short answer is they a) started feeding sheep brains to cows (don't ask me why grass-eating cows get fed sheep brains or why anyone thought it made sense) and then lowered the sterilisation temperature so it no longer…

I must misread the title of this episode and thought they got it wrong, it's not 'zombie is the best' but 'Ravi is the best' and they were shouting out to you in the titles now.

She's Samoan, they age gracefully. And less gravity to give them wrinkles a lot of the time.

Farewell Grimm, for five and half years you've made my life just a bit weirder and better.

See, I can see Guintoli in that role. He does that stoic sort of thing well, and you'd expect that for an astronaut, and if you think about how many scenes with actors other than Bitsie he's in that really sing, he clearly can act, he's just (in comedic terms) a straight man. But there are always going to be roles,…
