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

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

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

I wondered about that Tom.

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.

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)?

Or, what DXM said. Der. Sorry, not caffeinated.

For devotees of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: if Jack and Phrynne were to have an actual relationship, how would it work out? Jack has stated that he doesn't to be one of her parade and Phrynne has made her position on marriage and kids clear. I can see Jack being content not to be married--or to forego kids--but I can't see Phrynne being content for long with just one man in the face of all the lovely men in the world. She'd try, but I don't see it making her happy in the long run.
Plus she asked him to come after her to London, when she flew off with her father, and I don't see that happening. It would be months on a ship, he'd have to quit his job, and I don't think his sense of duty would let him do it.

I think Dot and Hugh will have the traditional happily ever after for the show. Even though they had to work out a few things, Dot and Hugh's ideas of what that would entail are a lot closer.

Connie, I agree. And I think Jack knows that a long term relationship is not going to happen.

I wasn't sure about Dot and Hugh, but Dot proved to be strong and Hugh is learning to appreciate that. They'll be able to talk about things--and I think Dot will continue detecting, at least for the poor women whose life she might have led, if not for Miss Fisher.
I don't know how Phrynne expects to fly to England from Australia in an open plane. Does she know where to land to refuel? What about storms? If she was just flying somewhere to catch the ship, that's one thing. I may be thinking too hard about this.
