Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That's. Amazing.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Has anyone else seen The Doctor Blake Mysteries? it's been turning up on the local PBS station - set in Australia in the early '50s (I think). Lucien Blake is a doctor who's gone back to Ballarat to take over his father's practice and serve as the medical - consultant? - to the local police. He's kind of mournful - he and his wife and infant daughter were in Singapore when the Japanese invaded and were all taken prisoner and sent to different prison camps. He's been trying to find them (they do turn up later in the series, I think).

I see it on the schedule, but it's a bit too mournful for me.

It's good, but definitely mournful.

Only in the loosest possible interpretation is the new The Tick a procedural... but it's looking like it's going to be awesome.

Elementary: in 2017, it is trivially easy to crack an Enigma code. You don't need an original Enigma machine to do so.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

They did do some hand-waving about why one wouldn't use software to do it, but yeah. Also, it's not as if there are so many actual machines still lying around that SBK lieutenants can all have one.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

They did say something about there being software that can run the same program, so that explains the lieutenants, but if the software's sufficient, why does anyone need an actual machine (logically, not just to create a big, glaring, inconsistency of a clue)?
