Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Heh: [link]

I just saw a preview for Hunted, which premiers next Friday on Cinemax. It looks really, really good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's a line in Suits (which is very quotey) where the mostly dorky lawyer calls himself a Lannister while talking to a superior at work. Someone in that writers room is enjoying themselves.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Lots of Hunted video at the Cinemax site: [link]

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Dexter: Rita's kids are living with their father's parents, right? So they are in no way Harrison's grandparents as was stated in this weeks episode, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I kept seeing some headline today about the "shocking" thing that happened on last night's Homeland, so I ran home to watch it (and last week's, too), and....wasn't that shocked! I was honestly starting to wonder if he was going to attack her so she ends up in a hospital bed, due to Danes's pregnancy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was shocked in that I expected the surveillance to go on for a while, not just wham, arrest.

I was surprised, definitely.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

JUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK YOU GUYS.

(I really *really* wish I could talk about this show in real time. But I'm also not willing to wait a week to watch episodes I have access to now...)

Not javachik

I was pretty shocked also. One minute it's New Dude and Carrie watching the feed (didn't Saul go home?), five minutes later, there's a CIA Swat team there? I suppose if anyone would have rapid response teams, it would be them. I guess there was a team sitting outside in a van the whole time she was there?

I love-love-love that the show validated Carrie's intuition, both in last week's big reveal, and this week's action on what she saw after he talked about ECT.

Virgil's brother (in law?) is it Tim? Ted? looks like he is going to prove to be a keen observor. It did not go unnoticed that he told Carrie he'd believed in her along (and I believed his sincerity) nor that he was looking keenly at the board and absorbing all the info until he was shoo'd away by someone (who?). Not sure where that's going, but I'll be watching him in the future.

It'll be interesting to see where they go with Mike and Drunk Soldier. I presume Mike will be pursuing this and collide with Carrie et al. at some dramatic time on the same search for info about Walker.
