Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had a Spooks dream. I love the human brain, how it can make one sure this dream is an episode of a specific TV show, even if set and characters are completely different, and how you can be in it, and still know it's a show.
Needless to say, there was pain and sacrifice and noble death. And explosions. I'm not sure if I'm sad about the storyline, or the fact that it wasn't really an episode. Still! Series 4 has started, so there is a happy ending in sight.

What is even happening?
Has anyone been taking the OKCupid politics test? I like the presentation of the results a lot. The accuracy seems to be better than other tests too.Is that the one that called me disaffected? -- because, what. ev.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Watched Primetime TeeVee last night- Arrested Development and Kitchen Confidential. AD was solid, as usual, and I thought KC had potential. I giggled. Though I hate that Bonnie Somerville character. I rolled my eyes when his girlfriend left him, because you JUST KNOW it's gonna be all Sam/Diane stuff. Which might be intriguing. But mostly, she is total bitchcakes.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Is that the one that called me disaffected?
You must really be a strange one if it did, because my brother and I went through the test trying to answer all the questions as if we were Osama bin Laden, and it told us, "You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness." I think that part of the assessment is broken.

Nora is me on KC. I liked it, but more from the potential than the actual episode. I hope they calm it down just a bit - they got a little too wacky with the dinner frenzy stuff.
The Bonnie Sommerville character doesn't bother me, though I hope there comes a point of grudging respect rather than constant bickering, and really hope they don't go the Sam and Diane route. The character that bugged me was the Jaime King airhead hostess - even with the eye candy factor, you'd never make it in a NY rest. being that dim.
NB didn't have much to do, but, as I said, there's a lot of potential. I really liked BCs big rant scene about heat lamps ruining his food. I'd like to see more of that, and less of the slapstick frenzy.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
An Emily-math update, for the three of you out there who may give a rat's ass.
So I've just got to write up my Nim(9,2) strategy and figure out how to come up with the bucket solution in reverse, and I'll be done for tomorrow. For Thursday, I've figured out the geometric interpretation (according to the assignment, "show using dots") of why 8 triangular numbers plus 1 makes a square number (as is most often the case for me, I used the algebra to get to the geometry). I still need to check my proof of the irrationality of sqrt(8) (suggestions welcome) and then figure out how the hell to prove similar triangles in a pentagram. Rassa-frassin' Euclid.
