Gus - I agree. The chance to snark at someone trying to read politics into it that were not there interested me, at least for one post.

On edit. On second thought I'm not sure locating it in the FBI automatically locates the politics on the right. But I agree that an extended discussion of the politics of The Inside would not be interesting.

Personally ... the politics of The Inside don't interest me because they don't interest me. Any extrapolation I might do is me projecting, not me knowing.

What ita said. The FBI being right of center is a projection on my part.

Still, the presumption of guilt seems to be a thing (to me, maybe only to me) in The Inside.

What ita said.

That said (yeah, shut up) am I reading it wrong in thinking that the article (which I skimmed until about the half-way point) is actually praising the "radical" viewpoint? Not so much what I'd have thought from the comments. But Gus's point about the presumption of guilt and just the show in general - I feel a much more rightist vibe than lefty.

No, I think it's praise too. I just think it's really weird praise and kinda like that other review that was very positive but made me wonder what show they were watching.

Weird and what-show I totally agree with.

Where you've seen the Big Stupidhead Boss - he was Tuvik the Tuvok-clone on Voyager. Sad that I know that, huh?

I liked this ep a lot but agree it was totally squickifying on so many levels. The nail-biting was ewww and I had to cover my eyes and at one point stop my ears. But that was nothing compared to Web: creee. peee. The BF thought the show had no balls because he wasn't the killer, but I thought he was creepier here than ever.

Paul was so cute in his white knight scene. I love it when JH's cheeks get all flushed and he's fully Boy Scout.

Apologies, it wasn't flamebait. I think some people got that backwards.

arby, my SO picked up that the boss was Tuvix. I laughed him out of the house.

I guess I'll have to let him back in then.

Thanks Cindy, P-C, Frankenbuddha. I only just watched the episode NOW, which is why I am so late with the thank yous.

I was reading posts about the last episode of the inside, and someone was appalled that Web suffered no consequences from hanging the hooker out on a limb and being responsible for her attack. The poster said that obviously Tim had learned nothing from Joss.

Am I the only person who doesn't CARE if Tim learned anything from Joss? Who might in fact, DANCE, if Tim deliberately ignored some Joss-things? There's something to be said for making one's own mark on the world. Isn't there? (Tim, this is not an invitation for you to go around ACTUALLY making marks places, cuz ew.)

Also, also - is it not true that sometimes in life, people do bad things and don't get in trouble for it? Allyson has repeatedly brought up the noirness of TI, and since I recently took a Barnes and Noble University on noir I am, of course, now an expert... but one of the common themes in noir is that bad stuff happens, and the people who did the bad stuff get away with it.

Art doesn't ALWAYS have to be didactic, I hope.
