I love the EDAs, but Escape Velocity has some really poor prose.

Nighty Night might be the closest, but they're of differing tones.

Though I bet you regret ranking Dexter up there now.

I'd swap 3 and 5b, but I roughly agree.

I dunno. I'm not as much of a fan of this show as some people who post here (though power to you if you are) but I thought this was good, if a step down from the previous two episodes.

The implication, I thought, is that Samaritan exists but is offline, and the machine is taking that variable into account. I assume the rest of the season will be influenced by various parties attempting to reactivate it, and some rogue group getting a hold of the thing.

The idea that a walking cock joke would be allowed to roll around on the streets, submit itself to live debate or get away with inciting violence is, of course, a step away from the episode's attempted verisimilitude, and honestly kind of rubbish. The beauty of this kind of speculative fiction is in asking an audience…

Chloe Pirrie's absolutely great in this — she's plays the Labor candidate — managing to bring just the right mix of dignity and naivety that really ground what should have been a kind of rubbishy part. There's a really great interview with her here if anyone's interested.

It probably didn't help that the same guy did play a CIA agent on Doctor Who.

Yeah, it's coming back for just six episodes.

The other one was Daniel Dae Kim, IIRC.

Yeah, that's what I heard as well. Emotional collateral.

I legit enjoyed that episode. The Red Queen's shifting accent full on broke my heart, even though she totally deserved everyone turning on her.

I'm fairly certain @greenspanDan:disqus 's not asserting that.

Is that happening next season? I've seen no casting announcements at all, for any of it.

And wasn't she the lead on Off The Map?

She's also going to be playing an important role in Warehouse 13's final season, though that's not super laudable.

It's always sad when one twin gets more work than the other. It's not like one's significantly better than the other..

He's in American Horror Story now, so now's your chance if ever it was.

In retrospect she looks like she was the first of the writer's attempts to bring someone from Widmore's camp into the survivor's inner circle. The second being Cesar in the show's fifth season, who was brought on to be part of the cast but killed off when they lost the actor, and then finally Zoe in the show's final…
