Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I kind of enjoyed the twist. and the plot as a whole.

But, in line with the show's apparent general inability to do basic research, currency does not work like that. The Denar would not drop in value to zero just because the nation was about to convert to euros. The majority of Denars like the majority of all money would be electronic entries, and after the conversion those electronic entries would simply be converted to euros either at a fixed rate or according to a formula - in either case negotiated before admission. Actual paper currency would be exchangeable at the same rate or by the same formula for a generous period of time after the euro became the official currency. Depending on whether joining the euro was expected to be beneficial or harmful to the economy, the Denar would undergo a small increase or decrease in value once admission became likely. But it would not drop by a great deal prior to admission, and if it dropped slightly the increase upon failure of admission would be equally small. Normally such a deal would not be made in the first place unless the conventional wisdom was that it would be beneficial, meaning the Denar would rise slightly once it became clear that the referendum was likely to pass, and would fall slightly after an unexpected failure.

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

The "London" scenes that were shot a few blocks from my home annoyed me.

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

These two are one of my biggest platonic ships. They're so great together.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, ditto.

A thing I think is funny how every time they say "Moriarty," everyone's like "Never heard the name in my life!" Mostly because I used to work for a Moriarty. Also because nobody blinks at "Sherlock."

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

There's a Moriarty building on the campus where my nephew's high school graduation was held.

Hey, that's Bayliss on Castle!

There's a Moriarty Construction in this area. I tend to do a double take when I see their signs.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's a rather more subtle association than the signs around Melbourne for Hooker Cockram Construction.

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

Hannibal: This show continues to be wonderfully twisted! I just watched the episode from a couple weeks ago with Ellen Greene, and of course there was a line about a crime scene as being as "fresh as a daisy".
